After posting the pictures from Ohio (and my webserver nearly dying under the resulting load of noders clamoring to get a peek), I thought I'd share some of my memories from the trip. (Those on E2 have probably already seen this, as it is almost verbatim from my aftermath writeup.)
- Singing along to an impromptu group rendition of "Dancing Queen" on Bart's porch with Qeyser leading the song and playing guitar, and seeming to be the only other person who knows all of the lyrics.
- Borrowing a really silly sign from a nearby pizza place.
- Watching WonkoDSane inflict movie-monster-like terror on an unsuspecting 747 by catching it mid-flight, ripping off the wings one by one, repeatedly smashing it nose-first into the ocean, and taking several bites out of the fuselage - all in stiff, monster-like movements.
- Photographing everything and person in sight, amassing one hundred forty-three pictures total.
- Discovering a new favorite state park.
- Seeing Void_Ptr dressed for a night on the town in a duct tape top, with flashing blue nipples.
- Seeing Pyrogenic dressed for the same night on the town in a black leather corset and matching miniskirt.
- Chasing Cow of doom in an attempt to retrieve an aerobie.
- Meeting what seemed like hundreds of other noders, all named "Chris".
- Tasting, for the first time, the foulest of foul swill known as Pabst Blue Ribbon.
- Experiencing the effect of wind chimes inside my head by standing in the kitchen, with a grill rack tied to my fingers which subsequently plug my ears, and jessicapierce gently running a fork over the grill rack.
- Hearing lots of well-written writeups spring to vocal life thanks to Walter's Node Slam, and many fantastic noders and their writeups.
- Sitting outside, talking to Spackle, WonkoDSane, and panamaus in the (sort of) cool night air.
- Having Chihuahua Grub tell me to "Shut the fuck up, God Dammit!" because I didn't know he was about to start node slamming.
- Seeing lots of friends again, many of which attended [The Whiz-Bang Atlanta E2 Party], or [Get your ass to Mars: an Atlanta E2 gathering (Whizbang the Second Coming)].
- Meeting Void_Ptr, because she's just so "fucking fabulous."
There's more, but it's all swimming in random patterns through my brain. Realize that I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the gathering, and it will take a lot to make me forget any of it. (Except the stuff I've already forgotten, which, is to say, not a whole lot.)
