It’s hard to believe, but MetaFilter is 10 years old.
Today’s the DC Meetup, but I’m not attending. Not only would trying to wedge one more thing into this weekend make me spontaneously combust, but I’ve always read it but I was never really an active participant on metafilter. I can’t even remember my login (Skarlet?).
On a related note, we got to see Rick and Sarah last night at our old haunt, Atomic Billiards. (They’re in town to go to the mefi shindig). If you visit their site, you can read about how I inadvertently played matchmaker for them at a blogger meetup at Atomic in 2002. (Yes there were blogger gatherings way back then in the dark ages).
No time to post pics from last night. Dr. Birdcage is on her way over and we have Artomatic responsibilities to attend to. Being a grown-up is very boring sometimes. Hey, there’s a matrimonial theme here – I wrote Dr. Birdcage’s wedding.
Life’s just wacky that way.
Thanks for coming out on Friday! It was a pleasant surprise to see you and The Husband. And also thanks for introducing me to my wife 7 years ago.
