…and I was late.

Pictures from the event (after the jump, but please look them over):

Above, this action shot was taken when Liberalgeek asked the question about Why Vince Meconi?

…check this out…arrived via secret carrier pigeon to my car when I was departing…

The Sussex County Righty Blogger Alliance seen objecting to this event (L-R: Brian Shields, Dave Burris, Maria (meeeow), and some unkown figure...Elbert??)

Here, (above) we have the spurned Sussex County Righty Bloggers Alliance. They aren’t happy.

..more action…

This was taken early in the event of the bloggers in attendance. L-R: Geek, X, Jason, and DHSV. Not pictured: Tommywonk, Pandora, Mat Marshall, Mike Matthews, Dana Garrett, me.

This one above was an early shot of the event before all arrived (way before my 20 minute late arrival). As you can see, the attendance was very diverse.

Seriously, though, one thing I must say is that Governor Markell’s predecessor would not have so much have been caught dead at something like this. Friendly group or otherwise, she would not have done this.

I absolutely would like to see this repeated for other bloggers in the state, Kent and Sussex Counties, specifically.

Given my late arrival, I don’t have a comprehensive write up, but there are plenty available:
DHSV
Jason
Dana’s blog (no post on this yet, but check-in, I’m sure it will be soon).
Tommywonk’s blog (no post on this yet, but check-in, I’m sure it will be soon).
DWA (no post on this yet, but check-in, I’m sure it will be soon).

OMG…This is a formatting nightmare (I am using Firefox). I will see if I can fix.

OK, formatting issues aside, this is some funny shit. Really funny shit. Good work, Maria!! And don’t give up hope! I’m sure Jack will be kind enough to have one of these in Sussex.

“I’m sure Jack will be kind enough to have one of these in Sussex.”

I’m sure we’ll all be appropriately appreciative.

OK, that will have to do. WordPress can really drive me nuts sometimes, but I blame the user.
Thanks, Mike, except this was me, not Maria. Maria got the picture of my back being scratched.

Julie Newmar and not Eartha Kitt?

Look, I meowed, damn it. What in the hell do you want?

Scary thing is, that picture of Robin…kinda could pass for Selander.

I was sent an NSFW picture from the hidden cameras at today’s event, showing the good governors staff attending to the bloggerati, or maybe it was the other way around.

EDITED FOR CONTENT

(Dave here. That’s funny as hell, but a bit much for our family-friendly site.)

As an attendee, not all that funny.
