I'll probably get there around 9 pm, but it will be more like a hit-n-run "hi". I'm crunching on a deadline so I won't get to sit down for more than a couple minutes ![]()

we should be ok. This site is slowwww on my poor iPhone! LOi!
I am running late. My psycho next-door neighbor just corralled me in the hal for 15 minutes and I coulndt get away so I will be there between 8:45 and 9.
I must echo your sentiment, Jacob - Molly IS kinda tall - who knew?? Not me. And I guess not you.
I stayed for a bit after most people left and had beers with Rick, Allan, Mark, and Fernando. People...I LOVE us! We so rule. It was a blast tonight. I almost didnt come because I felt so crummy but I am so so glad that I did. None of my friend, inexplicably, listen to BOL so it was great to meet other listeners. Great to meet Andy and Trish and Jacob and John Falcon and Randall and Natalie and other CNET folks. A good time was had by all, I would say.
I must admit, I am slightly hammered right now...to call or not to call Tom and Jason in my slightly hammered state teling that about our awesome Puck Fair meet-up. Hmmm..I will have to think on that. And in so doing, may very well fall fast asleep.
Thx for coming out everyone. It was really fun.

Yes, Fordo, we do rule.
Thanks for making the evening even more fun. You are a darn good ice-breaker! Not that any ice needed to be broken. Molly (and the others, but especially Molly) couldn't have been any nicer and more accommodating to the fans.
I will listen intently to BOL tomorrow to see if Tom and Jason play the call which you may or may not have made tonight.
Later!
Andy
(following you on twitter now, BTW)
Fordo, you most definitely should call. That call would most definitely be EPIC! I cant believe I forgot to ask you your twitter name.
Hey Jacob - my twitter name is fordo. But I got a msg saying that someone named Jacob added me to his twitter - so isnt that you? I could well be confused since I am new to twitter.
I just called into BOL. Took me 3 tries as I got the ol' "your message has been deleted" twice. I never get why that happens but it randomly does on vm with people. Anyway - hammered and all, I called in. I doub they will play it though bc it wasnt very relevant or interesting. I just said what a good time I had tonight with all my BOL peeps. I beieve I also mentioned my hammered state. ![]()
Anyway - once again - great time everyone. Thx for showing up. We seriously do rule. And I seriously just xld my morning bfast meeting and believe I will stroll into the office at around 10 or 11am tomorrow. I feel like its just gonna be that kind of a day tomorrow.
I wasn't sure if it was you as you hadn't posted yet. Yeah thats me following you. Tonight really was great wasn't it? Everybody is probably soooo jealous.
What a treat to meet you all and the CNET crew couldn't have been more gracious and fun. I kinda figured Molly was that tall - don't know why. I had a hard time hearing above the noise and keeping names straight (but there's no mistaking Fordo!!!) Love those PJS... haha! You guys are so much fun to talk with (and yes, totally RULE!)
One drink was plenty for me in that steamy room! When I got home I look like I was pulled through a bush backwards.... yikes. Puck Fair Hair! That pub is always great - thanks so much for the get-together!
Trish
(sorry about all the exclamation points)
Are you not sleeping again tonight?? I hate that. I have those nights fairly frequently, unfortunately. If you need some ambien, I am happy to share, sister - more than happy to share. Tylenol PM also works for me and doesnt leave me too groggy in the morning.
Aw, thanks! But being up at 2 am is still pretty normal for me...NYC quiets down and I can focus on work. I'm going to head to bed soon though. It's officially Spring as of a couple hours ago! Must shake off these vampire hours and get reacquainted with the sun. Fingers crossed!
Happy Spring All...
I didn't know a soul tonight and stood in the corner until someone else walked in who seemed equally at odds. And that's how I met Andy. We went on to learn we'd worked together 7 years ago! Yup, it was that kind of night.
Molly was delightful and, speaking from my lofty 6'4" perch, just about the perfect height. It can be weird to meeting people who know you through a public persona, but Molly was as cool and graceful as a BOLer could hope for.
And we east coast BOLers are awesome! You all are forcing me to give Twitter another try (GrahamNY).
See you in the feeds,
Graham
It can really be intimidating to walk into a crowd of people that you dont know but everyone was so nice and welcoming - it was really great. Andy told me how he knew you from 7 yrs ago - that is WILD!
What are you doing now - I cant remember. Can I see you in anything soon?
I am going to see August: Osage County this weekend - cant wait.
