What do you get when you mix....

By tsmith on November 12, 2007.

... (L-R) Scienceblogs' own rabblerouser, PZ Myers; Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy; myself; and birthday boy Evil Monkey, along with a host of other science bloggers and readers (including some self-identified in the comments in PZ's and Phil's posts)? A nerdalicious Saturday evening in DC, that's what. We arrived a bit late and so missed some of the festivities, but I did get to chat with both PZ and Phil a bit, and hear some stories about Phil's upcoming book. I did not, however, get the memo on the dress code, and sadly left my blue button-up-over-a-T-shirt-sporting-a-button combo back here in Iowa. D'oh!

So, I'm once again playing catch-up, and my "real" work and family come first, but there will be new material tomorrow. Any comments that were sent to the spam folder have also been published.

Hanging With Celebrities in D.C.

Comments Seem To Be Messed Up Temporarily...
I don't know what is going on, but most new comments seem to be getting held for moderation and/or sent by the spam filter into my junk folder. I have just retrieved a bunch of them from the junk folder (including one of my own) and gotten them published. However, I am about to leave for an…
The Grand LOL-PZ Birthday Bash Linkfest
Today is PZ Myers' 51st birthday. We've done it last year and the year before. As I did last time, I will collect a linkfest of all the posts - especially those that use the LOLCats generator (Greg has collected some pictures if you want to use them). First out of the starting gate: Greg Laden:…

Thanks for updatating us - it looks like a lot of work, mixed with a little fun. I have to ask though - why the baseballs in the background?

We met up at a sports bar 'n' grill in the Holiday Inn, I think it was.

Yeah, because although we locals suggested lots of places with good atmosphere and locally-brewed beer, PZ and Phil decided to be lazy and have the meetup in the hotel where they were staying.
