Great time in Chicago

Once I got into Chicago yesterday everything went completely smooth. I got food, I got checked into my hotel immediately, showered and managed to hook up with Kevin and Dave and we went over to that Apple Store to check out some eye candy (iCandy, get it?!?) and wandered around a bit before meeting up with the bigger group later. I had a blast with all of them and I'll expand on that later, but I'm checking out of the hotel and I thought ager my other problem post the last few days I'd mention that all is well.

And today I feel a whole lot better than I thought I would after all the Long Island Iced Teas, so that's a bonus too...

DaveCago2 - Chicago Blogger Meet

So the bloggers met in Chicago again for DaveCago2, about half of us met early June 2006 and we had a bunch of new people too (but we were down a few too). Here's the "blog roll call" that I'm pleasec to be a part of - Dave, Kevin, Jenny, RW and Mrs. RW, Ariana, Ajooja, Birdcolor, Diane, Kilax (who hand codes her blog!!!) and me. Several brought spouses (or spouses-to-be), it easier to not mention who than to remember who blogs (or doesn't blog) their private life. I hope I didn't leave anyone out, it was so hard to keep track of everyone...

Dave made us lanyards and had buttons and shirts and it made me feel like it was Christmas, I'm just happy with meeting new people. We ate at Pizano's Pizza on The Loop (near Millennium Park) and we got a bunch of different pizza and lots of (different) drinks. Then we wandered around and found another place for more drinks (Congress Plaza Hotel, the Gazebo Ba I thinkr), that too a while since most places didn't have space for all of us. It was great to put a face and voice to some of the bloggers and just chat and get more info on stories we've heard and stuff like that.

Neither restaurant or bar had drinks like Mike's Hard Lemonade or Smirnoff Ice and I was way above my daily caffine limit, so I hard to drink Long Island Iced Tea, it was my only option (really).

I do have photos, but I'll have to get them up later. I've been running around all day and I'm too tired to take a chance at accidentally deleting photos.

The Godzilla Movie?

I'm still thinking it's some kind of Godzilla movie. I mean just look at the poster and tell me that it wouldn't make sense to add him to the image.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's refencing the 1-18-08 movie.
