It’s easy to be friends with folks like you. . .I have to say that each and every Doper I’ve met in person (and most of the ones I’ve only met online) are great people.
bouv: It’s Senor Mysterioso.
swampy: Thanks. One day I shall take you up on that invite. And you have a standing invite to Fabulous Castell Zappo for beer, pretzels and scrapple.
Lindy, racinchikki, Cranks, Rue, and Dave: The feeling is mutual. In spades.
bodypoet: I miss you too! Along with Ellen. We should plan another MidWestFest and I should drive out for pie and Scotch eggs and fish and chips (but not all at once)!
Juniper: You’re only two hours (or less) away from me and the other central PA Dopers, and Jadis. We should have a Fest and soon. You host.
Persephone: Euty is one lucky SOB. You know that? But don’t worry. . .there’s enough Zapirificness for you and Mrs. The Dave-Guy to share.
. . .don’t post under the affluence of incahol like uncle Zap. It was just one beer, I swear!
Gingy and Young Mr. Gingy: You guys are the cat’s pajamas with matching robe and slippers. And that fella in the tux and sneakers you were hanging out with at your wedding is cool too.
Heapy, baby: Right back atcha, dude. Don’t you go changin’.
Sal, dude, my apartment is the size of a minivan. You, however, have many spacious Cadillacs. I vote you host and ferry us around in style to the bars, eateries and dens of iniquity of our choosing.
Zappo’s indeed one swell guy. He’s pretty damn funny, and he has all the hunks of Detroit steel a man could ever want. Unless the man in question is him. In any case, I likes me some Zappo!
Zappo’s about the coolest guy ever. He’s allowed the Doorses to use his house on more than one occasion (sorry about the crystal candlesticks, man. I could’ve sworn we moved them out of the baby’s reach, honest! ;)), and is a lot of fun to eat wings with.
Sal is the bestest. He’s always one of the first to chime in whenever anyone needs help. He’s smart, funny, handsome, and an all-around groovy guy. And he needs to come visit Miami.
As the only man I’ve seen attempt to consume the entire fish and chips at Claddagh (lemon condoms and all), I have infinite respect for the man known as Zappo. You da man, Zap. It was wonderful meeting you last year (was it that long ago?), and hope there’s another occassion to do the same in the future.
How did I miss this thread until now? Sheesh…I oughta get out more.
The esteemed Mr. Zappo is my sushi buddy. Speaking of which, we need to remedy the lack of shared sushi sometime soon…you going to the Morimoto Philly dinner?
