No worries, though I'd love to get copies of the photos!

Was Mike the guy in the red and black suit roaming around, making sure everyone was having a good time? He was adorable and sweet. Definitely had a blast there, and will be looking for reasons to come by again for sure!
And a well-deserved "hats off" to Mr. Herriman for helping to introduce Sloggers and help with the initial ice breaking.
It was great to see folks again, and the venue was awesome (plenty of room for folks to mingle, good drinks, and music to a level where conversations could be held), yes, Nicholaus, Mike was the guy in the black suit with red trim. He and his staff put out a very friendly vibe, definitely worth revisiting.
Lovely to see everyone and thanks to Mr. Herriman for allowing us very distant Sloggers a vicarious visit. Um... I'm curious though... is that pinkification of the photos deliberate, or did the camera fall in a pitcher of Cosmos?
Was not my favorite happy. Got too drunk, and thought I left my iphone in a cab. I realized later that my headphones are missing from my jacket, so some fucker probably stole my phone at the bar. Grrr. Today was fucking expensive.
I'm always pleased to see young people having a nice time.
I was going to be there, honestly I was, but just as I was heading out the door, Seattleblahs showed up in a real funk. Bringing him along was out of the question: SB in a bear bar is like giving a dachshund a pound of raw bacon and a box of 'nilla wafers - he would have gorged himself, but ended up with a lot of "back door trouble", both literally and figuratively.
So I spent the entire evening sitting in the breakfast nook with him, while he drank all my Galliano and complained about his latest Volunteer Park Romeo. when he put on "Judy at Carnegie Hall", I knew the evening was shot. After his third rendition of "the Man Who Got Away", I snuck off to bed.
I roused him at 4am, poured him into a cab, and gave the driver a fifty to make the problem go away. I wonder where he ended up.....
@15 - rob! - i didn't want to use the flash or a really slow shutter in the dark of the bar so i just took them as i would have in better light and then brightened them artificially. as you can see, the results are pretty terrible! but oh well, bad pictures are better than no pictures, i say ;-)
I'm just surprised that no one has ever actually used their Fnarf bedpan for its intended purpose.
p.s. the pics of your girlfriend turned out super cute, i'd love to get them to you somehow.

Looking forward to next year already!

By the way, as long as we're nitpicking, the capitalization of my caption is inaccurate.
And I'd also like to join the chorus of those saying the gentleman in black and red who gave me food was very sweet and hospitable.
I mean, it's still awesome as long as it's a threeway, right?

Yes, Mr. Herriman, we have quite a few hot Sloggers.
