Going by his pictures from this meeting one would think that he would be an afro-centrist rather than a nordicist:)

I thought it was as good as the one from last year. I think that a SEPIA dinner for the next meetup would be awesome. As to the dating at the meetup, I'll admit I did meet a very nice, intellegient, attractive SM guy last year and we dated for a bit.</p> I had a blast.

Might lose a few, might gain a few but the blob shape remains.</p> If the public is calling for more meetups, I think it’s fair to the bloggers that the public shoulder the organization so that month to month, venue to venue, SM becomes a traveling blob.

I think most people bake in a certain level of awkwardness into their expectations simply because meetups are so infrequent causing most people to look unfamiliar. I would echo previous sentiments that we should have more meet up. If anything, it would take this vibrate online community and create a great real life network--</p> I thought the meet up in general was good — granted I left around 7:30, but for the most part I met tons of new people and everyone I spoke with was very friendly.

The idea of a diminutive soiree in which one is compelled to make nice and (shudder) actually socialize gives me heart palpitations. My occasional bouts of shyness render me quite inarticulate in the presence of strangers, which I think makes people mistakenly consider me little more than a pretty cipher. A vestige of my adolescence that I've yet to cast off, I suppose. :)</p> <p>Oh yeah, I'm getting married in September, but I'm not having the opulent, 500-person gala that my parents refuse to throw me, anyway. I'm smart like that. :)</p> See, for me, Camille, it’s gotta be either complete chaos or nothing at all.

Satya, if that happened there is no way in hell, on earth, or in another planetary system that I would go :) When is your wedding happening (congrats!)?
