now that I leave the city, everyone wants to make a visit. no respect, etc.
I object to the venue; it's in Lincoln Park which is way too fratty for this crowd. I say we move it to Jackson's, or somewhere thereabouts, located on 21st Street in Nashville, TN.
it sounds good to me! i can speak for tommy as well and i'm almost certain armsmasher plans on making it too. here's me and tommy so we might be identified.
i don't know...how does flickr assign urls? and, um, i'm trying to say tommy is cute? i guess? if you're curious about my user account name, it's a name that journalism students at medill (where i'm a masters student) are called.
Also, if you're in or around the Twin Cities (John Emerson, are you there??), you can hang out with me. Hey! Why not make a road trip? It's only about 7 hours from Chicago....
Well don't I look like a jackass. I thought it was a fortuitous concatenation of arbitray letters. If I'd thought about it, I would have realized that FLickr builds the account name into the URL, since that's the way they are when I link to my pictures.
no problem, chopper - a lot of people are confused by the user account. until i explain that it's all about medill students being made fun of for being pompous idiots and everybody has a good laugh.
off topic but why can't i comment on old threads? i'm trying to respond to somebody who called me a bag-eyed ho unworthy of nick gillespie's love here.
Man, that guy looks like a douchebag. The girl is cute, though.
(In the last instance, on that one long-gone thread about the website of "hot girls with douchebags," didn't "douchebag" functionally mean "guys other than myself"?)
Ha! I just noticed that a couple of days ago myself. I'm on record that Gillespie is a snot-nose, and you're cute, so the hell with that Esther person commenting from a Catholic bookstore.
Also, whoever wrote that post was right about Oklahoma [shudder].
(I think the answer is that comments on old posts get held for moderation; obviously that one got opened back up last week; maybe it got closed again?)
Hey, I missed the second NYC meetup because you held it at around 2:45 on a Wednesday afternoon. Next time there's a proper weekend-day gathering, I'll be there.

I do have a friend at Vanderbilt who I'll probably be visiting sometime fairly soon, so a Nashville meetup could happen.

howdy SB, all. Going to be a short visit, I'm afraid.

I'll stay long enough to say: Nashville meet-up! Woot!

How does Flickr assign URLs? And what are you trying to say about Tom?

's OK, Chopper, you're not the first.

Excellent -- now I can recognize you two, and Armsmasher's picture was on his blog so I can spot him as well. Assuming that picture was of Armsmasher.

Red Lion?! I wonder, have I ever been there? But kudos for, you know, actually choosing a place.

didn't "douchebag" functionally mean "guys other than myself"?
Nah, it meant "guys"; he acknowledges that he himself is a douchebag.
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 04-24-06 8:59 PM
Matt, You misunderstand. By "myself" I meant myself. The exception that proves the rule is me.

I don't know why catherine thinks I'm not coming—of course I'll be there! And for the record, here is a cute picture of catherine and me.

Until I have that rare gold-foil Ben Wolfson hologram, my collection will continue to bring me shame.

How come smasher makes it to Chicago, but not to New York, twice?
