You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You
As I mentioned in Thursday's post, I headed down south to yet another Ultimate Blog meet. Eric is truly the ambassador of the blog world. He and his wonderful wife Fiona have, yet again, hosted a bunch of the nicest bloggers out there and made us all feel like part of the family. They have the gift - indeed they do.
Most of the bloggers I had at least met before, but I do get to add a new blogger to my "bloggers I've met roll. (YAY!!! I love that!)
Bou, her sister Morrigan, and Stephanie (who has not been blogging lately) all arrived together. Denny was there and when we start talking, the geekiness level rises considerably. (I can't tell you how fun that is) Johnny-Oh made it, taking time off from installing elevators to come hang out. He was the only one to camp in Eric's back yard. (Bou mentioned that the contraption he slept in looked like a coffin on wheels when it was all folded up). Of course Jimbo and Da Bodyguard both arrived in style via the big fat black capitalist car. Jerry, who I hadn't yet met, made the trip down, along with farmer overalls and bales of hay and straw (more on this later). It was wonderful to meet him, he is very very funny. This year I was able to say more than a word or two to Big Stupid Tommy, one of the funniest bloggers out there and a terrific guy. Non-bloggers who arrived and added to the fun (that I met) Rick & Georgia livened things up on Saturday. Gary & Connie who I, very sadly, did not get much time to do more than say hi to... maybe next year. Eric says Joshua and Charlie were there, but somehow I missed them, although it's possible I said hello to them the first night, just as I arrived, dazed and confused.
Saving the best for last I finally met Erica who gets a post of her own because driving with her is so much fun.
We left Eric and Fiona ready to collapse after the weekend of reveling and unlike other people, my brain was too fried to post anything until now.
More details are forthcoming - there are stories to tell, especially the bits about those city folk having their first encounters with country living.

OK, here's the deal...I'm too farmartert at the moment to leave a second comment...but I will. I think I need a nap. Brain fry is setting in, but...know this: You are the coolest. I had a gem of a time hanging with you and would gladly go cross country, any which way. Oh, and you definitely need to lay off the freaking coffee! Energy is the LAST thing you need.
I left a comment anyways, even though I said I was too exhausted to do so. Damn, you tricked me.

It was great to see you again, T. You always manage to lend some class to this collection of reprobates.

Really cool to see you, and get to say, you know, more than three words!
