My first full day home and I'm sitting here posting on the forums instead of unpacking. I wanted to create a thread where I can just spout out all of the thoughts that have been going through my head during TAM and the things I'm still thinking about. Since I can't seem to organize my thoughts very well yet, I'll just put them all here. I've met so many wonderful people this past week. I'm bound to forget other things as well, so I'll probably be adding to this thread as things come back into my memory.
To all the forumites that I only met once in passing, I'm very glad that I got to meet you and I hope that we get to see each other next year for more conversation. I wish I could list all of you, but unfortunately, my faulty memory will surely leave out people that I don't want to leave out.
To all the attendees from Colorado... YEAHH!! I heard someone say that we were the largest state contingent after California, which is awesome! Reed, I still owe you a drink for picking up Justin and me on the way to the airport! Maybe at the next Drinking Skeptically in Denver...
Hokulele is so spirited and full of energy! I'm so glad that I got to bowl next to her at the alley. I wish you could have stayed for the rest of TAM! On that note, Hokulele's mom sought me out after the talent show and she was wonderful and very nice!
Hutch, thank you for organizing the bowling trip (Hokulele, too!). It was a LOT of fun and I hope we can do it next year. We made $500 to donate to the JREF, if I recall correctly!
Desktop Icon and Iconic Wife, thank you for the delicious wrinkled-ironing-board remedy.
Kochanski, thank you for making all those avatar badges for everyone! Also, those mobius scarves were RAD.
CPP, it was a lot of fun being a part of Hell's Bells! Sorry that I messed up a bit!
kittynh, thank you for inviting me to be part of your act! You were fabulous and I was definitely snickering under the table. I had soooo much fun! I can't thank you enough!
Jeff Wagg, I very much enjoyed our conversation. Thank you for being incredibly awesome and working your ass off to help make all of this happen. You are an admirable member of this community and I feel honored to have met you!
Nobby, what more can I say about your extraordinary strength of character and beautiful personality? Others have been much more eloquent in putting those feelings down in words, so I'll only say that I wish I could have spent more time talking with you. You were always being whisked away with someone else! I hope I can see you next year!
Wowbagger, you're awesome. I think we get along very well and I'm glad there's someone else there at TAM that doesn't drink! I need to send you those balloon hat photos I took.
Okay, that's it for now because I'm getting sad and I miss you guys. Plus, I think I should take a little nap to catch up on my sleep time that I missed out on at TAM.
Please feel free to add your TAM Brain Droppings, if I may borrow a phrase I overheard at TAM6.
