I think the end of February sounds good!
MikeG, some of us not only don’t have MySpace accounts, but don’t plan to get them. Are those photos available anywhere, or are we doomed to be sad?
Grrrr, ok gotta set up a Flickr acct and laboriously transfer my images to that, why do they make that so difficult?
Aaarg. Work is for chumps.
deep breath
I gotta say it was nice to break up the routine and meet new people. You are all a crazy bunch! Just the grist I need for novel characters, actually–don’t worry, you are all not Mary-Sues-by-Proxy-- but I really have to say it was a great scene! Looking forward to the next one, who knows, maybe I’ll host!

There ya go. Witty captions later.
Turns out I had a Flickr acct that I had forgotten about… so there’s a bunch more pics there.
Hey Enfant, I was at a Superbowl party on Paulina a half block north of Estes last night! Didn’t have your number or I would have had you come up and have a beer.
Awww shucks. Thanks, and right back at you.
I was told I had to explicitly post and make available the novel I’m doing, on pain of torture, for critical analysis.
So fair warning… I definitely want to shine it up nice and all, so it may be some time… but be warned: You read it, you can’t unread it! Muahahaha!
Thanks!! If you’d rather retain some of the mystery, I’d be happy with an excerpt. And if you want to get hooked up with a reading series or a literary journal, I “know people.” So keep it in mind, and PM me if you’re ever interested. 
I’d be interested in reading that as well. Millit, your husband’s stuff sounds good too, any chance of getting a copy?
Also totally up for thrift stores, I’ve got a car that is designed for hauling and the Explorer as well.
He’s got nothing that I can post, especially of the newer one about monsters, but I can PM you a link to his website. That might have some stuff of interest. I’m sure he’d be happy to get the publicity of a link here on the message board, but that would make my personal info a little too accessible. I’m totally staying anonymous for as long as possible!
And yes–the end of the month will be good for me, as far as thrift shopping. I remember Unique being a great chain, but I’m open to any and all suggestions. After all, I was gone for a few years!
I wanna read, too, enfant!
So who’s who in those pictures?
I’ll list who’s who in each photo, from left to right. I’ll skip the food photos!
Starting with the first picture, that’s Enfant Terrible.
-
ET again, pulykamell in the middle, and Sugar and Spice.
-
HazelNutCoffee, me, and WhyNot.
-
pulykamell & Sugar and Spice again, and Eva Luna.
-
Millit the Frail, BlueKangaroo, and interface2x.

WhyNot and Millit the Frail.
Ok, granted, some of you I knew, but I guessed the rest perfectly!
Gold Star for me.
Wow, Mr Bus Guy, what tipped you off?
Note the word “guessed”. 
Also, I think I’ve seen a picture of Millit before, maybe in a picture thread.
**
Pulyakamell** was easy, since he was sitting next to **Sugar & Spice.

The rest was in fact, pure guesswork.
Well, my roommate had a work around for me to get my photos off the camera and on to my 'puter, so I can share now too. Unfortunately, in using the work around, some of my photos were deleted. However, most of them were salvaged.
As for Mr Bus Guy, you are clever, sir!
Funny-- Sarahfeena, you actually look exactly like I imagined you.
Dang. I was hoping everyone pictured me as ravishingly beautiful!
I think after the last Chicago get-together, WhyNot said she thought I would be a frosted-blonde suburban mom in twinsets and pearls. Cracked me up.
