50% of the attendees were female! Remember when "boyzone" was thrown around daily?

misanthropicsarah, can you ID those in your shot? I'm curious. And... you all look so normal! Not a freak in sight!

And, color me ignorant, Matt, but I always thought the boyzone remarks were because of comments like this, not the male:female ratio of members. Though maybe you were kidding.

Well, we put the normalfilter on the camera to avoid scaring off any other Philly MeFites.

Note who the first commenter in this thread is, Jaltcoh. I think if it was a problem #1 might have said so. They're small, tasteful, very on-topic given that they show all (?) of the attendees, and are only about 5K each.

It's not the front page. The Blue is the front. This is the ugly back end of the site, where only members come (and not that many, it would seem) and anything goes.

PS miagaille & desuetude are the new scody. (not that scody's not still hot)

Um, I'm pretty sure Jaltcoh was joking.

I always thought the boyzone remarks were because of comments like this

Or, for that matter, this.

Thank you, languagehat. Yes, I was making fun of the occasional tendency of MeFites to be overly zealous about the MeFi rules.

Indeed. I would never slight some ladies in favor of other ladies. You are all lovely, smiling and happy!

Very cute, you all are.

Lovely and smiling, maybe, but happy? That's where you come in, Eideteker.
