The Bloggrogging ...

On Friday I went to a grogblogging. I said earlier that I would get photographs, but my camera was out of batteries, so I'll just have to give a rundown of the night here:

I fell into the Hotel Lincoln off Queensberry Street, and immediately proceeded to walk around the interior of the building twice, go outside, check the name, while failing to spot the big table of bloggers sitting right in the corner. Not bad considering I'd hardly drunk anything by that time. (I had a work drink thing earlier that night).
I said g'day to some of the folks at the table, and ran into Armaniac at the bar. Later, I fell in with Aaron, and he gave me a run down of the folks attending: Russell, Supermercado Adam, Agentfareevader Adam, and Alex from ...
Quasi

Alex from Quasibohoalternacommawherenow? But thankfully, I'd met Alex from ....

before. So, I waved to her, and slurred in fluent alcoholic,
- Hi, Alex from
Quasi
.... Boho ....
.... .... Alterna ....
.... .... .... hyphen ....
.... .... .... .... whatnot.
Smashing party, eh, what, my dear girl?
Alex from quasibohoalternahyphenwhatnot merely waved her hand in a ladylike fashion and trilled in a ladylike manner, 'I didn't do Jack-shit'.
Later, I got into a conversation with Helen, and with Jon from Sternezine. I put to him the question - if he had Bill Gates fortune, what would he do with it? I favoured purchasing a symphony orchestra myself; Jon, it turned out, had a fancy that he would like to procure Rhodesia. But it doesn't exist now!, I protested. What I can only describe then as an evil gleam came into Jon's eye, and he growled at me,
"Oh, I'd MAKE it exist!"
Reprimanded thusly, I moved on to talk about other subjects.
There were many more people, and even more beers; a big shout out to Robert - he's one smart cookie. Plus, he bought me a beer.

More people met that night, including whatisname from Torn Curtain, and thingamyjig from Engel's Empire. I'd better not go on, as some of the names have faded from memory. Lovely to meet you all, leave a comment in - er, comments, if you were there!
