hey all - i have had an awesome few days here in Portland and the party was cool - i judge a good party on the strength of my hangover and yes well i had a hell of a one.

It was great to meet everyone and now at least i can put faces to names for some of you!! Hopefully can catch up with some of ya when i hit your home towns!

Also thanks to Callilucy and Jessie for driving me around places - mucho appreciated. Will upload my photos when i get a sec or find a computer that allows me to!

Back home safe and sound...thanks all for a lovely party. Just wished the weather gods had listened to me :-(

As some may know I wasn't sure where in the world I would be come Tues night.
Answer is
BOSTON

Thanks to each and everyone for the past few days. I am always pleasantly surprised at how such a diverse group of people can get together and enjoy themselves with a minimum amount of drama. That and the fact that I think the average time from stranger to meetup veteran is about twenty minutes.

Until next time.

so...where's all the blackmail pictures? I'm a tad nervous but also curious!

I vow to make it to next years party!!!!

Aye Carmba. There, I said it. Well it's been a hectic 5 days(for me at least) since the party but the world is starting to make some sense again. Thanks for a great weekend and extra big shout outs to the hostal crew organizers Calliucy, Cracker J, and Trekker. Hope yer feeling a bit better Jules. Looking forward to the Decaversary in the aught 8!

Okay, I know I'm not the only Flickr user here. Where are the rest of your photos from the party weekend? I know about that ning site, but I'm talking about Flickr - I know some of you use Flickr! C'mon, people, download those photos, please. I'm getting sick of my own.

Hey Jessie - i will upload mine as some as i can get to a computer that lets me - the one here in PDX doesnt so will when i get to Seattle for sure!

Jessie..I did not take any pics. I have to get one of small point and shoot...my fatty is just too big to be carried around for these parties. Next time :-)

I added some photos.

I've added mine Jessie.

Fifty-seven fine photos up on Flickr and tagged...

I must avail myself of this shindig one year. You people are cute

Cool photos although none of me - i was there im sure of it

jeez. Ok, I take it back, I don't want to see the pictures. :-)

Just from glancing at a few I can see I was in my typical drunken pic pose. Head back and to the side with a dumb-ass grin on my face. Oy.
