Llamapalooza Wrap

Many thanks to all of you who took an interest in our much-ballyhooed 3rd Anniversary Llamapalooza Celebration this past weekend.

We wound up with a small but extremely agreeable table of participants. In addition to Self and Steve-O, the Missus was able to wangle a last-minute babysitter and tag along. We also had Lintenfiniel Jen and her Beau and Professor Chaos (who even now is wondering what he's gotten himself into).

I think I'm correct in saying that the astonishment of the evening was the appearance of none other than INDCent Bill. It was astonishing a) because he showed up in the first place despite all our taunting, and b) because Bill is an exact doppleganger of a rowing buddy of Steve-O's and mine from college, and for one wild moment, neither of us could figure out what the hell Danno was doing in Alexandria. In the end, though, we did just fine. Bill even wound up riding in our car, as we gave him a lift back to Dee Cee. (Beep-beep, mm, beep-beep, yeah!)

Anyhoo, a very pleasant time was had by all. Thanks all of you for coming. We hope to see lots more of you next year.

Oh, and I wanted to highlight something Bill says about things:

*** 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."

Heh. No argument there.

Yip! Yip! Yip!
