RMBB 3.0

Sorry to disappoint, but I’ll have no big roundup of the Bash. The weekend has been reasonably merciless, and there has been no time for writing. The week is now underfoot, requiring me to be extremely brief.

Briefly, huge thanks need to go Andy, Steve, Walter, and Zomby for their efforts in organizing the event and providing refreshments. Zomby was typically warm and gracious, and Andy was typically unlike his online persona (that is, pretty much the same as Zomby). Also a shout-out is owed to Darren for the original contact with the Denver Press Club, which turned out to be a very nice venue. (Some have pointed out that it was loud, but I hardly think this was the Press Club’s fault.)

I appreciated–and I am not making this up–the opportunity to get inside Jeralyn’s head a little bit. It really isn’t every day that I get to talk to such a passionate defense attorney. I’m not sure how we could have much less in common, but as a wise man once said, we can still be friends.

Jed says he talked too much. I really didn’t think so, but I was grateful for the bit of talking we were able to do together.

I also met big-timers Andrew Olmsted, Ed Driscoll, and Gary Farber. Contrary to Gary’s post, it turns out I wasn’t drunk, wasn’t weeping, and didn’t apostatize, but man, that guy is prolific and quick on the draw to boot.

There was of course more, but I did say this would be brief. Hopefully Adeodatus will add a contribution soon.

    Glad you could make it, and glad I was once again able to fool you with my facade of kindness and caring. I’ll have you know that at that end of the evening, I kicked a puppy just to set the karmic balance back in place.

    Also - if you’re interested in joining the club, let me know. I think they’d be interested in having us.

    You big lug, you probably found a stray cat and fed it milk.

    Actually, Andy, I find that to be an interesting proposition. I recall early in the evening, when we were still being polite and sitting quietly for annoucements, that John (??? the honcho dude) made some comment about the Press Club welcoming bloggers as members. This in interesting, given that in some circles anyway, blogging is considered antithetical to the “fourth estate”.

    Fourth-and-a-half estate, baby. But the barkeep sells drinks to us both.
