Warning! Since this is about a blogmeet, linking to all the people who attended is required.
Just finished up the 2nd Annual Blogtoberfest in Helen. I learned my lesson from last year when Eric forced me to drink an entire bottle of vodka. For some reason, I was unable to walk back to my room, so I crashed in Eric's room and woke up in bed with Dax. Never again! I wound up leaving early last year. This year I paced myself, and as far as I know, didn't do anything stupid, unless of course someone has me on film.
Anyway the usual suspects were there. The core group of Jawja bloggers has to be Key, Kelley and Dax. Ric and Georgia even dragged Pumpman's sorry ass up there. V-Man, Eric, and Sam have become honorary Jawja bloggers, and now we have inducted Shoe into that club.
Key, did Georgia give you my T-shirt? She said she would. Sam, didn't get my CD. Give it to me next meet. And thanks for dinner. Christina says it's up to you and Zonker to work with her and Shoe on a Texas meet.
Sam's lovely wife Barbie couldn't make it. Fortunately, Eric brought his lovely wife Fiona. Donnie came. Hadn't seen him since my first Jawja blogger meeetup in Dahlonega. Zonker was there and there are some interesting pictures of him as a mullethead. He is now a member of the core group.
Moogie showed up at her second Jawja meet. And Leslie came all the way from Chicago to join us Jawja reprobates.
Steve came. I had never, ever read his blog. Now he gets to go on the "BLOGGERS I HAVE MET IN PERSON (AND PARTIED WITH)" blogroll.
As I said earlier, I behaved myself at this event, unlike other people. There was even some drama going on that I missed. I always miss the good stuff. As Gretchen Wilson says, "I'm here for the party".
Evidently some drama went on over at the girls' cabin. I think they got that cabin on purpose to keep the cripple out. I did get up the steps twice, but after some artillery punch, there was no way I was gonna try again.
I also heard that there were some people who couldn't handle the punch. As the oldest person there, they should have taken their lead from me. Pace yourselves people.
On Saturday night a bunch of us went to eat at a restaurant called The Troll, which seems like an appropriate place for a bunch of bloggers to eat.
This is the 6th blogmeet I have attended and every one of them has been a blast. I don't think I have met anyone at these events that I didn't like. And these folks can party. I can't go past midnight anymore but some of these guys go strong most of the night.
All right! When's the next blogmeet?

It was great to meet up with you again, retirement is quite obviously agreeing with you.
You have no idea how many times I told myself "Hey, Denny's going to bed, I ought to follow his lead and save a few brain cells" - but as usual, good intentions didn't cut the mustard, and I wound up punishing myself until 4AM both nights.
Anyhow, can't wait until the next one - we'll discuss how you obviously haven't been reading my drivel since your link still goes to the now defunct www.aintdoneit.com :-)

Posted by: Donnie on October 3, 2005 01:48 PMdenny, thank you so much for the music. you are the kazoo master. and hey, a blogmeet without drama? some of that stuff was quality springer grade shit, wouldn't have missed it like i wouldn't miss you, my friend. great to see you again, texas in april.
Posted by: shoe on October 3, 2005 02:22 PMDonnie - Fixed.
Posted by: Denny on October 3, 2005 04:05 PMJust Damn! Another kazoo master? Where the hell was I when that went down?
Denny, it was a pleasure meeting you at our little Ice Cream Social. I am honored to have found a place on your Bloggy-Roll...and amongst Jawja's Finest!
Posted by: Elisson on October 3, 2005 04:12 PM... you, Sir, are an original... Daddy?...
Posted by: Eric on October 3, 2005 04:19 PMThx Denny - I shoulda known a computer guy wouldn't let that one stand :-)
Hey, your items from Hofer's didn't do to you what my items from Hofer's did to me, did they?
Posted by: Donnie on October 3, 2005 04:29 PMIt was great to spend some time with you again, Denny. I'm definitely up for another blog meet soon....even if it's just an informal mini meet. We live too close together not to meet for dinner and a drink once in a while. Thanks for being such good company!
Posted by: zonker on October 3, 2005 06:27 PMYou call THAT drama? Maaan, that's nuttin. In fact, everybody was fully clothed in the am. I tell ya, weak.
Although, Velociman DID run off in Shoe's pajamas!
And no! Georgia didn't give me your shirt, and I didn't know she was supposed to! Make her mail it to ya.
Anyway Denny, as usual, always a pleasure. ;)
Posted by: Key on October 3, 2005 06:32 PMThen Kelley must have it. If not I do have one left.So e-mail or post
Very...very...cool.
Posted by: Sam on October 3, 2005 08:28 PMDenny, I got your shirt, honey. No worries. I also got Zonker's, and Shoe's. I have some shirt distribution to do.
For you and Elisson and Zonker and Donnie and me not to have a micro-meet here in Atlanta would be a crying shame. Let's make it happen!
Posted by: Kelley on October 3, 2005 10:47 PMHey! How come I'm not on your blogroll yet?
Posted by: Omnibus Driver on October 4, 2005 11:21 AMLeslie - Look over at the BLOGGERS I HAVE MET IN PERSON (AND PARTIED WITH) I put you on that list before I put up this post.
Posted by: Denny on October 4, 2005 12:21 PMGlad to hear y'all had another great time. I guess I'm gonna have to get over to Georgia in October one of these days. I'm all for a spring meet in Texas, though.
Posted by: Dash on October 4, 2005 05:02 PMI thought the only drama was ME threatening to shoot anybody else who came into my room after 3:00 AM on Saturday night.
I never made it to the girl's cabins.
