Florined (re: Blogfest ‘09): The problem is not wanting to MISS anybody who shows up. This means arriving early and leaving late. And, see, that leads to (how shall I phrase this), uh, potential excess, which has been known in the past, in far lands, to lead to indecorous behavior on the part of the short-and-wide one. It’s one thing to not be welcomed ever again in that tavern below the castle in Heidelberg. Or even that saloon in Trout Creek, Montana. But I might want to go back to Moon Dollars some day for lunch! Expanding to 3 hours has its drawbacks.
Question: Who do you most want to meet at Blogfest ‘09?

Everyone! I made up a list of HBO commenters and I came up with 92 names!!! And I know I missed some. I want to meet people that said they aren’t coming. Dang. And I want to meet people who won’t identify themselves (the Bard for one). And Toadman, Stickman, Kendramama et al, Digger, JeanC, Marianne, Tayrn, Trish, Nic, Pecky Cox, Raymond Pert, Aliasjax, Herb, JBelle, Lynne, … Everyone!

I’ll bring my list and maybe add to it.

Jeanie - can you somehow post that list? You mentioned names that I haven’t heard of for awhile. Kendramama? There is a name I haven’t seen on this blog for awhile, and I always enjoyed her comments. I am sure there are more.
JeanieSpokane on February 27 at 11:29 a.m.
OfCoffee - I’ll try to figure out how to do that - maybe post it to my blog. And then I’d appreciate people adding their names because I’ve missed a lot (that I’ve seen posting as late as this morning.) Give me a few minutes and you’ll see it at www.jeaniespokane.blogspot.com.

Alas, Jeanie, I won’t be there, so I won’t be exposing myself to you. *ahem*
Wish we could, but just can’t make it over there this year.
Regards to all…raise a glass…and all that jazz….
As for Jbelle, well….she will remain a mystery to us all…as she should…we need mysteries in our lives!
;-)

I for one will miss the Toadman and his family.
