I went to a blogging convention and a wedding broke out
Thursday, October 13th, 2005For the four of you who don’t know, I spent last weekend back in the Cultural Corridor, doing what you do when you’re in the Cultural Corridor: wearing a tie and drinking Budweiser. Under a crisp October sky, two people I respect immensely who also happen to be perfect for each other inked a long term contract with a nice signing bonus.
I would say many more nice things about the two of them except that they’re drinking cocktails on a Mexican beach and I’m eating dried pineapple and crackers at 2 am in Michigan. I resent that.
The day was not all cake and vows though! As I was introducing myself to the groom’s mother she exclaimed, "Oh so this is Mattbot!" Turns out that half of Tony’s family reads this blahg. So a hearty hello to my LaPorte City fanbase, I appreciate your patronage. Between you and me, the comment at the rehearsal dinner about Tony’s "basketball head" did not go unappreciated, even if it only got minor chuckles from the assembled company.
As it turned out, I ended up putting faces to internet identities most of the day. Unexpected, and kind of fun. At any rate, it’s the closest I’ll ever get to celebrity.
