My first F2F was, IIRC, 1995 or so. I was on the Dunnetwork mailing list and there was a gathering in Pennsylvania, a lunch at someone's house. I was living in Baltimore at the time, so I went.
It was nice and entirely unthreatening -- Dunnetworkers are (to outward appearances) pretty bland and vanilla looking. Not a corset or axe was to be seen, although I seem to recall playing "pin the scar on Lymond" at one point.
I couldn't tell you my first Buffista F2F, frankly. It all runs together, although I remember Steph's visit pretty clearly. (And that shirt! I miss that shirt!)
I am in a good mood. So maybe I stole it from the rest of you. My legs, they are not so flexible, but they are moreso than they were yesterday.
I took care of the last 10% of work I needed to do on this trip. I also networked with some folk just good measure, passing out business cards here and there.
Best news I have had all day is that I might be able to catch an earlier flight home. Not by any means a sure thing, but I am going to try. It would mean getting home a fulll day earlier and that would be THE AWESOME!
um, sure thing. happy to share.
Or maybe you should keep it. You know how ita and I are around nice things.

First ones I met were Cass and EpicTangent in San Diego. About as far away from Philly as I could get and remain in the continental US.
you can't have them really.
and I do know how you are around nice things, as I've been around you both.
(see. me=nice. get it?)

I knew that was coming. you=predictable too
I DIDN'T fill out the jury survey and was summoned a few weeks later.
I get to go home soon. I am supposed to do stuff like laundry when I get there, but I think I may just nap or sulk instead.
