Funmurphys: the Blog

Midwest BlogBash VI

Saturday a good time was had by all, well at least Sean (Sara's Good Time Man) who got a volume discount on his Bass Ale. We missed J Bowen who has left for greener pastures (and for some strange reason Indianapolis), but we were heartened to pick up a bunch of new people - clever Ben AKA Mr. bloghorn; Tanya, one good looking redhead (what redhead isn't goodlooking? A dye job); the inimitable C. Dodd Harris (was it just me, or were the sparks flying between C. and Tanya that night?); the Yetiette (Jim's younger and prettier sister); and some woman who talked with the heretofore mentioned (hey, I sat next to lawyer Harris) Sara and who seemed to know Marc, who was his usually ebullient self. Rounding out the lineup was Charles (with whom I celebrated my $800 refund by not buying anything for anybody), and Chris (who was so excited by the prospect of attending another Blog Bash he fell asleep in his barcalounger and arrived late).

I spent much of the night talking to a couple of third year med students from Washington University whose names have escaped me; a gal from Louisiana and a guy from Florida. The gal was a blogger, and after a search on St. Louis Bloggers for live journal bloggers, I couldn't find her. Her friend wasn't, and when he arrived was "how do you know all of these people?" incredulous. Don't underestimate the power of blogging - bringing people together really and virtually in one great meta conversation.

UPDATE: Pooja is the med student blogger I talked with, and Justin is her friend. Thanks Pooja for stopping by and setting me straight. Stop by anytime, I can use plenty of straightening up.
