Christie Splits
After Christie's farewell/b-day geekout party, Merv & I compared notes over ice cream ...
 MERV: It was weird meeting all of those bloggers in real life. It was such a diverse group of characters.
BLAMB: I guess Rannie and Eva were the only people you'd met before. Hey, I got to meet Christie's mom!
MERV: I'd never even met Accordian Guy! And he had his accordian with him. It got a bit confusing, everybody had the same name.
BLAMB: Two Dans (well, Dan #2 who was given a field promotion to Dan #1), eight Evans, twenty-seven Alexes, an Aleks and nine hundred and seventy-three Wills.
MER: But only one Dave. When we first arrived, I talked to Dave for a bit and he asked me if I was single and after I said 'no', he didn't talk to me again for the rest of the night! Ha!
 BLAMB: Looking for love in all the wrong places ...
MERV: Maria was hilarious ... I told her that she should change her blog design, make it orange and colourful to match her personality and not so subdued and she said, "You thought I was some dude?"
BLAMB: I can't believe her. I gave her all sorts of good dating advice months ago, and she disregarded ALL OF IT. The guy she was seeing is a complete turd.
MERV: Is Kat really the "most senior blogger" in Toronto?
BLAMB: More than that, she's been blogging since before blogging. She's the earliest of the early adopters. She's the Coelacanth of bloggers. And Nug, who you met when we arrived, is an internet icon: the world-famous Mustard Man!
 MERV: You should have brought your camera.
BLAMB: I figured everybody would have had cameras at such a large geek gathering. I thought everyone would have been packing heat.
MERV: What did you think of Dr. J?
BLAMB: Dr. J?
MERV: He was standing right next to you and Bob right at the end!
BLAMB: With the beard? That was Dr. J? I had no idea! Crap, I didn't get to talk to him.
MERV: Christie was really trashed at the end.
BLAMB: It was two events in one, so she had to get twice as loaded. And bloggers must party.
MERV: There were a lot of bloggers. That's why it was so weird when that guy walked over and asked, "What's a blog?"
BLAMB: It's probably best he didn't know.
Eva added in the comments:
My favourtite moment of the night was when Maria met The Armchair Garbageman. Her reaction, without pauses in between, went like this: "OH!!!!! MY!!!!!! GOD!!!!!! You know, I've always wanted to be a garbage officer. One time I saw a guy who was walking his dog, and then the dog went like this [re-enacts dog bowel movements] and I didn't want to say anything, because I'm from the murder capitol of the world!"
Yeah, Maria should really change her blog design
