SOMEBODY’s wife was a hottie and distracted the photographer too much. It’s your own fault.

Seems to me the secret is to stand near the much-photographed hottie…

Who has the pic of me with my Gnome?

I forgot who took the pic, and I’d be willing to bribe for a copy.

Actually, whether you were science fiction fans or BDSM people. I didn’t hear the answer clearly, and spent the next ten days googling to see if anyone had left tracks of the evening on the Net.

What can I say? You had _that_ sort of look.

Thanks. I’ve actually read the SMDB every once in a while; seeing you folks actually got me to register.

(For those of you who were there, if you recall the three people from The Planet Of The Happy Big-Eyed Bald People – I’m the one with the deepest singing voice. Nothing like being in a piano bar with two guys who can both sing over an octave higher than you can…)

How iiiiiiiinteresting! Not sure how good your memory might be, but I’m the younger-looking guy with reddish hair you were amused to see laughing all night.

Great to see ya. You three were cool to party down with.

Well, it should be cool to get to know you folks. I actually wrote about the evening (you missed the weird – in not-right ways – part earlier that night) in LiveJournal. (I’m **roadnotes** over there, and **wren** on the WeLL, if you want to track me down in return.)
