Category: blogging
Two very confused bloggers arrived promptly at 6pm. 'Are we in the right place?' Two tables sat reserved and unused in the corner of someone else's event. Middle-aged Cheektowagans, many of whom had never heard the word 'blog' before, eyed the empty chairs. 'Can we take these?' 'You'll have to find the person in charge.' 'Who's that?' Who indeed?

Roll call: Mr. and Mrs. Punaro were there, and also seemed to be the only people who knew what was going on. We were told Michael Rebmann was 'here somewhere, I think ...'

Meanwhile (e:strip) managed to send a full delegation on short notice [(e:dragonlady7) (e:james) (e:jim) (e:libertad) (e:metalpeter) (e:mike) (e:paul) (e:terry) (e:zobar)] and then hauled our asses out to Youngstown for another (e:strip) event [+ (e:theecarey) (e:vincent)]. I filed a motion with (e:paul) to change motto to '(e:strip) - the blogging community that organizes events ... and then goes to them.'

Grats Z - I'm sort of stunned that they would do this, but take it and run!

I know the feeling about the whole "opposite of where I work". It looked like work was going to buy me an iPhone, but that kind of fell apart. Given that I had to buy my own laptop, that's actually what I kind of expected.

Lucky bastard, that (e:zobar).

Cool, Z. Enjoy!
zobar - 09/20/07 07:15
Yeah but ... you know when somebody's all, 'my work just bought me an iPhone' and you're all 'where the Hell do you work?' Wherever it is, where I work is the opposite of that in pretty much every way.

This is what you get when you start a company, name it something completely idiotic like AMP'D Mobile, and convince them that you're so awesome they need to buy you a Ferrari: Guess what! You've wasted all your fucking money and now you've got to peddle your ass for nickels! This is a complete inventory of everything they chose to spend their company's money on, and they have to sell it all now that they've [predictably] gone out of business. Looking through this stuff is almost anthropological. Christ, it's like the .com bust never happened.

Nah, Jamie's on the auction hotline and thought we might want to buy some of their computer equipment.

If I did know them I would have tried to convince them to buy me a Ferrari too. But more likely than not all I woulda gotten was LOT 1409: POWER STRIPS.
