By whom you mean **Emilio Lizardo**?

:smack:

I thought that “Emilio” was his real name, and “Dan” was his user name – which is why I said, “Just ‘Dan’?” when he introduced himself!

Sorry, **Emilio**!

And [here’s](http://www.flickr.com/photos/misnomer971/208117211/) a quickly-Photoshopped version – the colors are still a little off, but I think it’s easier to make out faces.

Seconded! Too bad **Cliffy** couldn’t make it to defend his position. 😉

It was great to see you all.

But you all left out the best part of the evening: when Cecil himself showed up, chatted with us for an hour, and then picked up the check. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself. So that’ll teach you all who decided not to show up.

Anyone heard from **Gadarene**?

And yeah, it was a good time. We should do another one in a month or two.
