I'm creating this post a bit on the hungover side, so please bear with the poor spelling and other seemingly tangential and/or loose associations that may come about in the course of this screed. Thanks to
King Banaian for putting on this great event. Granite City Food & Brewery, as always, did a bang-up job of service and serving up the finest brew in the nation. It was great to finally meet with King, a fellow St. Cloud Blogger. Rumour has it that he may be joining me in my
passion for singing, and he would be a great addition to our barbershop chorus. (I've also tipped his wife off to steer him in that direction). It was also great to meet John
"The Night Writer" and his wonderful family, whose collective countenance would be at home on the cover of "Home and Garden" or in a Norman Rockwell painting.
Cathy in the Wright, Kevin from
Eckernet,
Captain & Mrs. Fishsticks,
the lovely and gracious Jo, and
The smokemeistr Marcus Aurelus from the Attic. It was also a pleasure to meet the extremely funny
Mitch, as well as
Flash and Brian from
Heavy Handed Politics. King Banaian's economics colleague Phil from
Market Power was also there, as was Gary of
Let Freedom Ring and
Wog from Wog's blog.
Speed Gibson was also in attendance, as was Shawn (not Sean) of
The American Mind. Cathy in the Wright
guest blogged on SCSU Scholars, giving a gripping account on an altercation between the Scholar Family and a waitress. The only thing she left out was the midget mud wrestling... but that's a topic for another day.
Great meeting everyone. Tis a great bunch of bloggers we have in Minnesota. :)
