Meetup II – The Revenge
The meetup tonight was very nice. I didn’t like the venue at all. Parking was non-existant, they were out of half-and-half, and the coffee and service were cold. It was nice to put some faces with names, and the political talk was scarce. There was plenty of talk about Christina Aguilera’a nipples, which was amusing. The giant whooshing noises that kept happening were things going way over my head, but that’s ok. Perhaps I’ll pick something up by osmosis. In any event it got me out of the house and away from the kids for a little while, even though we were sitting outside in the 53 degree weather and I didn’t even bring a jacket. (which goes back to my pisstivity about the coffee being cold)
The elm trees in my yard are already budding little leaves. Spring comes so early in this part of the world.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I just didn’t want to drag myself all the way back to the campus area after work, knowing the parking down there. Sometimes the talk goes over my head; I need to be in the mood to tolerate that. 😉
However, I would like to lay eyes on you sometime! If not at a meetup, perhaps just coffee ourselves? There are some neat places (Flightpath, alas, is one of them)–Pacha’s on Burnet comes to mind, as well as others. If you want to coordinate java, just email me.

Hey! Welcome to the journaler’s group… we’re a nice group. I like the bloggers very much, but alas, I was at a JournalCon planning session last night, so I missed the Meetup. I made sure not to schedule next month’s meeting on top of that!
Christina Agulierra’s nipples is certainally less technical than the various and assorted ways to aggregate content. I wish I’d been there. Also, give SpiderHouse another chance… it’s actually a pretty good place (except for the parking, but this IS Austin!)
