This past weekend I went to Lexington, KY, for a blogger party. Everyone else has written recaps and posted photos, and there’s very little left to say, except that it was a great time, and thanks to Brad and Liz for hosting everyone and throwing an excellent party. And, as the self-designated Poet Laureate of the party, here is my tribute:
Karaoke Bowl
Penguins win just for Becky
Karl leaves drinks behind
The Netherlands lose
We gain for two days at least
Yvonne, we miss you.
Marty is the man
No fucking clue who you were
But you rocked the house
The Heathers march through
Inducting into their ranks
We may all be doomed
Cougar and student
Sybil and Sheila prowling
No penis is safe
New friendships blossomed
Old friends came out of their shells
Plus, a big dildo
The Bitches held court
Dave was a snarky pirate
Jill got inked and lived
My favorite geek
Kissed my best friend with her tongue
How did I miss it?!?
Crysterious. Dark.
Back and forth with a purpose
Time wasn’t enough
Too many people
Cannot write haiku for all
Too tired to try
The Worst Twitter Party Ever
TequilaCon 2009
Halloween Party 2009 Announcement!
I like your haiku! So minimalist and yet so much is communicated! Well done : )

Hides my jealousy.

I suggest you stick to waxing your eyebrows.
When you wax poetic its more painful.

Haiku is a form of poetry?? I thought it was the Oriental code for “Happy Ending”.

@Clown, I’m impressed that you actually made a real haiku!
Reply
@Avitable, and I’m still impressed that you were able to fit 13 wrapped Snickers bars in your ass at once. Smooshed or not, it was still impressive.

@Avitable, how do you correct people all the time without being shunned? I get shunned.
Reply
@Robin, you have to do it subtly, like I just did.

@Avitable, i’m subtle!! i’m the queen of subtlety.
ps. i just double checked the spelling, just to be safe.
Reply
@Robin, it’s a carefully acquired skill. Drives my wife crazy – she’ll say something that people will be offended by and I can say the same thing and they’ll laugh.

Great Haiku, but I need to find out who this other Marty is and wh… oh wait. I already left a comment on his blog.
Now I need to attend a blogger event where he is so people can call out “Marty” and both of us come running.
Reply
@martymankins, you be “Scooter Marty” and he’ll be “Elvis Marty”.

Adam is da man
Can’t think of a good line here.
Glad to have met you.

@John, you’re a poet and you don’t even know it.

Looking at the pictures everybody has up made us wish we had been there. Now we’re glad we didn’t. Suddenly.

Wait… I was at ConFab? But I wasn’t. And definitely no tonguing girls occurred.
(I’m trying to figure out who your favorite geek is now. I don’t act very geeky outside of work, do I…)
Reply
@Poppy, Heather! Although you and she might be tied for my favorite geek standing.

Sybil and I were trying to double team you but you kept hanging out in the garage. Next time, I’m making this easy and just bringing some roofies.

@Sheila (Charm School Reject), I’m okay with that. Just videotape the whole thing so I have a memento, okay?

I wish I could come hang out on Halloween again too, but alas… that won’t be possible.
Was awesome meeting you in KY though! * smooch *

@DutchBitch, you too. Maybe some year.

I saw Adam. Woo!
You just blew me away, hon.
What a skinny bitch!
It was awesome seeing you. And, I guess, you’ll just have to be more observant at BlogHer to see if any more Britt on CMGD action occurs! 80

@Coal Miner’s Granddaughter, you were so cute doing karaoke, too! And I hope there will definitely be some kissing action going on next month. See you then!
