I’ve never really had a theme for my blog, per se, although as much as we use our blogs to write about our lives I suppose the recent theme here could be “meeting and hanging out with other bloggers.”
It all started with some unfortunate/fortunate news for Dave – unfortunate in that he was called on to go to Portland at the last possible minute, but fortunate that in if you’re going to be spending a few unplanned days away from home, it might as well be with friends. So we talked about meeting up for Indian food, and it turned out Tracy was able to join us, and Fortune really must have been smiling on us all that day because even the venerable Lewis and Blair deigned that they could be seen with YOU PEOPLE for a few hours, provided it was in an out of the way place.
But delicious and otherworldly food is only the beginning of any meet-up, and so after we’d taken up the biggest table in the restaurant for an hour or so our next stop was for some world-class gelato, and then Tracy rocked the house as the opening act for the Boiler Room‘s karaoke, and later Dave and I learned that while some things are just like riding a bicycle (cf. RIDING A BICYCLE), old time arcade faves like Donkey Kong and Frogger are not among them. We fared much better at pinball.
And really, that ought to be enough for one weekend, but then just yesterday I went to Saturday Market to meet with Adena and Stacey and Jen. From there we decided that it’s never too early in the day to enjoy a good pint of beer, and so retired to a dark corner of Old Town and whispered our schemes, because it won’t be too long before yet another blogger comes to town, and I won’t mention her name because she knows who she is.
Really, you all just ought to move to Portland. You know you want to.
