It’s official:
Blogging since November 1999
(and actually compensated for it once or twice)
I went with a Tuesday night to keep the out-of-town riff-raff away, and because Wednesdays are church nights for most of my readers.
Wear a parka and bring gloves. [picture of the patio]
Be advised that folks who hide out indoors will be discussed at length at the group criticism session to be held immediately afterwards at whatever holding cell they put us in. The Happy Gnome is in St. Paul near Cathedral Hill (click the graphic for details) so I’m guessing they’ll take us downtown (if we’re polite they’ll give us a cell with a view of the river). If you resist and are tased repeatedly, Regions is probably the hospital they’ll take you to.
No gifts please. Save your money to buy me drinks with.

Damn! I didn’t think to invite him.
You got his email address?

I AM out-of-town riff-raff.

Twice? You mean you’re going to buy me two beers?
This could be the best 10th blogiversary ever!

I wish I was going to be in the area. Sounds like fun.

Oh, you know I’ll be there… despite my misgivings about going to someplace called The Happy Gnome.

Just make sure you check before you sit down. Those hats are really pointy.

I won’t know anybody. I’ll feel shy. But I’m such a fan, I think I must cross the river to the eastern Netherworld and somehow get my ass to Wegestock here.

Glad to hear it. I lost your email address (and about 4 million others) when I upgraded my OS this summer.
And I think you will know more than a few folks.

I’d love to be there, but I have to earn to put food in the cats’ mouths. The Gnome is my 2nd favorite St. Paul bar.

Well it’s just past midnight & I’m still working on a deadline. Hope you all had a swell time.
