#1 And there are people who go gaga over movie stars. What a waste of a goog gaga, when there are Bloggerfests in the world! It sounds divine, Seafarious.

Oh, did you notice whether everyone was wearing shoes, two (2), one each left and right, matching?

#2 No Hawaiian shirts were in evidence.

#5 I like hawaiian shirts, they go well with fat people... Except that I'm no fat, I'm big-boned.

#6 From the link on the Pajamas Media comment page -- someone liveblogging the event:

As I meet and greet old friends for the first time, my mind fixes on an analogy
to our little community of bloggers. The more I think about it, the more certain
I am that it applies:

We bloggers are "men of letters".

Most people don't realize that what we call the mainstream media really only
dates back to the first daily newspapers of the early eighteenth century. Before
that, and for over a hundred years later, it was the letter-writers who shaped
the world. The salons of the French and the coffee-houses of the English are the
places where politics, science, and culture were shaped. Us bloggers use email
and blog posts to communicate. Our spiritual predecessors used letters and
mass-produced pamphlets.

#7 There were easily three or four shoes per blogger by the end of open bar, lol. I'm fairly sure they all matched, but don't quote me.

BTW, I left dinner at 11:30, just as Prof. Reynolds was getting a glass of wine. By 12:07 he's already posted with multiple links. Dunno how he does it...

#10 I'm still a little giddy after meeting the galaxy of blogging stars at the National Press Club last night. And I'll wager that some of them are boasting that they finally got to meet Seafarious.

#13 *I've* met Seafarious twice and Mrs. Bobby's met her once, and ... well ... THAT speaks for itself!
