Tuesday - March 29th.
Wow.
WOW.
What a great flippin' night. Chicago. Bars. Some of my favorite people.
WOW.
I stayed with Teresa Tuesday night, as I had an appointment the next morning and it is easier to get there from her place. Anyway - we were talking at breakfast about how in the hell we were going to describe that evening.
WOW.
I've tried to write this post a couple of times and keep going back and deleting. Can't do it justice, can't convey the right feelings. It. Was. Fantastic. Pure and simple.
I got to meet Eric face to face, I liked him before......damn folks - what an incredible human being he is. Oh, and he can make me laugh. Let me tell you - great stories....I could go on and on! I spent some time with one of my personal hero's, Blackfive. I don't use the HERO term lightly here. Truly - this is a man I have admired for a while now....and the opportunity to meet him and talk (however briefly) was something I treasure. I met Grau and confirmed that he is just as I suspected, pretty great. I finally met That 1 Guy - didn't recognize him at first (damn I'm still kickin' myself over that one) but he's since gotten a hair cut so he looks more like his picture. I've had the pleasure of getting to know him via phone conversations the past few months - so face time was wonderful! In fact......I even stole a few hours of his free time Wednesday for dinner. See - I am very greedy. Thank you T1G - for waiting and for you company! Throw in quality time with Harvey and TNT, Laughing Wolf,and of course my beloved blogsister Teresa and it was bound to be a great time.
Food, Drink, Laughter - just what this girl needed about now. The evening wasn't long enough but then again, I think we've established that I can be somewhat greedy when it comes to quality time with quality people.
Due to so many other things going on right now, I can't do the evening justice - but I will. You just wait. Once things settle in the next couple of days, I'll be able to focus and write. Meanwhile - follow the links. There are stories to enjoy!
