Fun Size Bytes (from @Tj)
I reblogged this postAbout last night
I introduced Heather to the world of my imaginary friends last night, when we had drinks and a nice dinner with @texburgher, @jkresen and @dascola. (She had met @ccsteff before, very briefly at some races we ran together, but other than that it was the first time she really sat down face to face with the inevitable consequences of my crippling internet addiction.) While, as an initial matter, it is highly intimidating for us suburban folk to be downtown after 5:30, I am happy to report that it went great. Geoff got to show off his impressive knowledge of bees, including and especially the relative acidity or alkalinity of different species’ stings, and Heather and Julie realized they had a few mutual friends from the quote-unquote real world. I guess the only sour note was @dascola’s constant begging for me to follow him on twitter. For the last time, Jon, I won’t be bullied.
Mr. @Cranberry Person is now on the tumblr as they say.
He is a known associate of CCSteff, Texburgher, and Dascola, but I am here to tell you that despite the company he keeps (and referencing a bad ’80s movie in the Title of this post), he’s a very decent fellow who I am glad to have been able to meet in “real life”…
Even if he did make me drive into downtown Pittsburgh on the worst day of traffic since the invention of the automobile, only to arrive just as he had to leave to take the “bus” back to “suburbia”…
On the other hand, he promised me free legal advice for the rest of my life, so that was nice. (He probably doesn’t remember that, he was so totally drunk from the vodka cranberries he was drinking.) Hrm… at what point does this turn into slander, lies, and libel? Three sentences ago? Ok, well just strike this paragraph before you click ‘Post’
