But I was wearing a tuxedo!

It apparently is not true that all men look good in a tuxedo. I base this on empirical evidence: Up until a couple of months ago I had my picture on the blog. It was cropped from a picture taken while I was attending the Atlanta Heart Ball a few years back in my little-used tuxedo.

If you've visited here for any amount of time, you've seen comments from Fermi, who lives in Metro Atlanta. She kindly invited me to have drinks with her and PDM, her husband, last night at Zuffy's, a bar/restaurant convenient for all of us. Almost immediately after we introduced ourselves she remarked "you look a lot better in person than in your picture." So, no more pictures on the blog.

I enjoyed hanging out with them last night. You can learn a lot about a person from reading what they write over a period of time; but, in person adds intangibles you can't get from words. And pints of Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA don't hurt. Friends found, I think.

I'm a big fan of meeting fellow bloggers. The best man at my wedding was a blogger I met during my Cincinnati.

Sounds like it was wonderful all the way around - and if you ever find yourself near Hapeville or the airport and want to hoist a pint or seven, let me know.

Hey Wes, I've seen the Hapeville sign on the way to the airport, that's it. Half way?

Friends found? Definitely!

P.S. - I don't look anything like my avatar.

You didn't have a phaser in your pocket?

Wes said...

Halfway is good. I've no idea where you are, but surely there's a pub reasonably close to the midpoint.

Aha - I loved the tuxedo picture.

Jealous. Pos and I'll just have to make the trek down to your neck of the woods to meet, greet and lift a pint as well! That would be so much fun!
