« Random Weekend Links* | Main | Embed Update: Getting There »

This weekend I had the pleasure of finally meeting my arch-blog-nemesisisisi: the Llamabutchers. I attended their regular anniversary party in the distant wilds of Virginia. The small gathering consisted of Rob, Mrs. Rob, Steve, Professor Chaos, Jen from Lintefiniel Musings and her husband. Impressions:

*** Robbo does not, as I'd always assumed, sound like Frasier Crane. He's slightly calmer and gentler than his blog persona, and comes off like a genuinely nice fella.

I could certainly take him in a fight, that's for sure.

*** Robbo's wife is very pretty and charming. Not to mention patient, as she kindly put up with endless talk about blogs. I don't think Robbo would argue with the assessment that he's punching above his weight-class in the romance department. "Better half?" More like "better four-fifths."

*** Professor Chaos is an actual professor at a real, relatively prestigious school (specifically in his field). One might imagine my surprise, given his pseudonym's South Park origins.

*** Steve is almost exactly as one might picture from reading his writing, excepting no rubber chicken, he did not enliven a harmless variation of Jack Nicholson's performance from the Shining and was not, in fact, twelve.

*** Jen and her Beau were extremely nice. Their pleasant conversation presented a good foil to the barely bridled mischief radiating from the other end of the table.

*** Rachel Wiesz, Maureen Dowd, Maria Bello and other sneakily promised guests did not show up. What can I say? Tricky Llamas.

Good times, good times.
