The first annual, traditional, Tallahassee Doper Luncheon was held today. In attendance was Tally Ho (formerly Chrisbar), Dogzilla, Grem0517, SouthernStyle (me) As required, we discussed mundane and pointless stuff, like our jobs, but mostly we just got to know one another. Grem picked up the check. (He claims that it’s going on an expense report. I know better so the next round is on me.) I had a wonderful time and look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Just wanted to add that I had a lot of fun at lunch today! It was great to meet all of you! Dogzilla, thanks for recommending Taste Buds. That was a wonderful restaurant and I will have to go back. Often. 🙂 Grem, my OPS budget thanks you very much for picking up the tab. I hope to return the favor (but after payday) Kent, I didn’t know you were so _tall_! I haven’t felt that short in years. 😉 Oh, Grem and Kent, you guys were only _half_ joking about hiring me away from the State, weren’t you? 😉 Thanks again all. We have to do it again real soon!

I’m feeling obligated to post here and report my findings: These are all very nice, seemingly normal, warm and friendly humans. I look forward to getting to know you all more and can’t wait until we do this again. I’ll let someone else make the next restaurant recommendation… but I’m glad you all liked Taste Buds. Oh yeah, and Chris? I’m looking for a copywriter…😉 We offer EXCELLENT benefits, of course! ---

And it seems that most of the dopers are in media/advertising/or something similar. Go fig. That’s MY field!
