I'm not bringing my girlfriend. She called me a nerd for meeting people from the Internet, so I butchered her and dumped her corpse by the highway. So ya know, I won't be bringing anyone.
Why not? They're nice, they have names and personalities and they're very good listeners I'll set up a meeting.
Justify it all you want, but at the end of the day the dude is nothing but a dick. Guess it's better than hanging out with an asshole though.
Re: TiB Meet-Up - NYC I was hoping to make him my slump-buster. Bummer. I went to the Cloud Cumdumpster thing in '05. You would be surprised at how not awkward it really is. This isn't the dawn of the internet age anymore. Everyone is on it - weirdos and non-weirdos alike. It isn't like you have to be suspicious of everyone anymore, if that makes any sense. Then again, TiB has more weirdos per capita than any other site on the net so apparently I'm just talking out of my ass. Don't mind me....
I'm not bringing anyone (at this point), but there's no reason not to if you feel like it, it's not like anybody actual cares if you're from the internet or not, we can all get along swimmingly.
Nothing great here, but maybe you could find something: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.runningintheusa.com/race/List.aspx?Rank=Month&Month=10&State=NY&Page=4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.runningintheusa.com/race/Lis ... =NY&Page=4</a>
I was going to show up with a buddy of mine, until my friend invited me to his Oktoberfest. You can all wonder what might have been.
There's a pretty good chance I'll be there, I may be working that day/night but I'm not terribly sure what the times for that would be yet.
