My Picasa hack to the photo may or may not have something to do with the fact I got the camera in the morning and gave it to a complete stranger to use with the wrong manual settings configured...

I like it, gives it that mysterious, ruddy-spooky look! Post it on Raven's page!

Just to clarify: we didn't enjoy the burlesque dancers in the middle of the three tables of desserts. That would have been selfish. We just ate some of the desserts and appreciated the burlesque performers from a warm but polite Canadian distance.

It was a great night. I was reassured to find that I was meeting some genuine, funny people and not some cybernetic constructs.

Thanks to Krupo for setting things up and for being a complete Mom about keeping our table loaded with sweets. No one goes hungry with Krupo around!

That looks awesome, wish I had been there! Maybe you guys can come up to MTL!

And honestly we need better pictures

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Very cool. You will have to post a video next time.

I have a video of police cars streaming around Times Square in an anti-terror drill. I should gootube it and see if anyone likes it.

dag - I brought my digital SLR camera, and no self-respecting digital SLR camera has a movie mode. I do, however, think I have video taken from Sift Meetup #2 in Montreal with Farhad, although it may be a bit incriminating.

Guess I'll have to bring the dinky Sony (with its lack of optical zoom but ability to do 640x480 30fps video) around next time.

that looked like fun ....

ponders a uk meet up.... ??

Hey, I'm all for the UK meet-up, and have told Krupo that I may ditch this berg and head to Canadia...ehh hehe hheeehhe(from yer pictures, only one of you looks semi-non-uptight!)....If yall' do plan a UK meet, please let me know.....Methinkin' Canada is just not ready for choggie again, after the incident at the border back in 87'.....uhhhh, no money, driving a car that had been entered in the Art Car Parade in Houston the previous iteration, and a cache of fireworks for Bastille Day....even though it was August. Oh, forgot to mention no starter....the border employee had to help us push start the car, then......onward to Vancouver!!

Sheit what a summer......nayhow......Lemme know when ya brits wanna party, the choggie way!!! Not that Canada isn't a model of tolerance, understanding, and pasty folks, I'm a euro-mutt, and have no looney blood that I know of...

the chogs hittin the uk! put your gas masks on and do the flemenco...iiiiiittts PARTY TIME !!!!

Did I mention I'm in London in May?

Benjee, Wargasm, Kangermoo and I have met before, many a time

Michie's a good friend of mine - he's the bastard that got me hooked on this site. We're both in north central London.

Choggie in the UK - hide your stash and lock up your daughters!

Benjee first showed me this site. I was a voyeur for a while. Then I joined in, joy

I guess I'll get to play foreigner when we end up meeting up in London in two months then.

one more vote here for the uk hookup.

I'll be there, wearing a rose behind my left ear.

This could end up being the largest siftup ever.

so is there any real interest in doing a uk meetup... or are we all too londonesk for human interaction?

I take it most are based in london?

definatly...look forward to seein you Krupo

not really sure aidos. gwaan, redthing, deano and I are in London..(all socialble types i'm sure)

deputydog, benjee, nickyp, kangamoo and wargasm are all based up North England.

I'll be in the UK for a grand total of 3 days - May 8 through 10, and again for the night of the 26th before heading home. Now the whole sift knows part of my travel plans.

well I think that's enough people to warrant an official meet up by krupo's original terms. any other takers?

yep! Sounds swell. Count me in too please.
