11/03/2004 Entry: "November East Side Weblog Meetup Report"

We had a small but choice group at the second monthly East Side Weblog Meetup tonight. Those present: Hamburger Lad (aka Mike), Jerry Kindall, Jeannie, Pops of Soylent Content (he used to write Day Old Bread Store), The Bachelor, Receptionista, and another woman and man. I hope the woman enjoyed herself -- I think Robert sent her the info and she was expecting more of a geek dinner type of thing. Her companion was curious about how much time we devote to blogging and why in the world we do it; of course everyone had different answers.

Richard Gillmann of Absolute Piffle was there! I was surprised and pleased. I met him at the absolute first weblog meetup in 2002 and never since; he was in the mall while his daughter was getting a haircut at the kids' haircuttery.

I hope everyone that wanted to find us, did find us! I should have specified that we'd be meeting at the end of the food court farthest away from the open mike performance that was happening at the same time, like by the big chess board. We weren't there, but we sat far enough away that we were able to chat without shouting or disturbing the performances. This won't be an issue in the future since our regular meetup night (first Tuesday, mark your calendar) isn't also an open-mike night.
