Og of Neanderpundit is filling out a map of Fritzbloggers. Stop on by & add your info. Takes all of about 60 seconds. 70 if you want to add your picture.

MY stuff is there already.

Yes, that's a challenge. Get movin' :-)

Blake of Laughing Wolf is thinking about putting together a blogmeet tour of Wolf Park.

If you enjoy watching nature shows, you would enjoy the experience. Especially "Howl Night". Yes, you actually get to howl at wolves and have them howl right along with you.

See the man for details.

First off, a nod to the sadly absent, but incredibly generous Eric of Straight White Guy who bought the first... well, more like first 6 hours... round of drinks for the attendees. As I did at the bar, I once again raise a glass in his honor.

Second, if you were going to attend and then opted out, you missed out on cool souveniers:

The FritzFest keychain/flashlight, which you can use to see how good of a job you did clearing your windshield with your...

FritzFest ice scraper (with handy belt clip) [shown smaller than actual size].

Anyway, here are some key phrases (possibly out of context) from the bloggers that attended, and other stuff I just made up.

[Just think of it as the New York Times version]:

Graumagus of Frizzen Sparks - ...hasn't said anything yet, possibly due to spammers, allergies, or a suspicious but untimely demise.

Contagion of Miasmatic Review - "Every time I turned around...he was scared of my kilt" - also notable for a picture of Tammi taking the first of 12 steps in Candles Anonymous.

Contagion's wife, Ktreva - needs to get a blog. Start thinking about your blog name.

That 1 Guy of Drunken Wisdom - "we broke cherries"

Teresa of Technicalities - "Laughing Wolf... Straight White Guy...were hung and they appear to be straight"

Tammi of Tammi's World - "it was HOT on Sunday"

TalulaZephyr of Love and Koolaid Stains - "I... could have lasted longer... such... pleasure"

Talula's guest McHenry Dude - needs to get a blog. Start thinking about your blog name.

Matty O'Blackfive - ...mysteriously silent. He said that he had to leave early from FritzFest to catch a flight to DC, but this satellite photo indicates that America's favorite Rock-Star blogger and drunken Irishman may have snuck away to warmer climes...

Richmond of One For The Road - "Right away, people started coming"

Blake of Laughing Wolf - "Tammi ordered me into her bed... and... I took a shower with two beautiful women"

Leslie of Leslie's Omnibus - "hairy and had balls of steel"

Leslie's guest Buckaroo Bonsai - needs to get a blog. Start thinking about your blog name.

Og of Neanderpundit - "in desperate need of psychological counseling"

Jake & MJ of Freedom Folks - "Delish... Bloggers... do it again"

Beloved Wife TNT of Smiling Dynamite - ...hasn't posted anything yet, but since the frequency of "happy floggings" has increased in the aftermath of the event, I'm guessing that it means she had a good time.

But all that really means is that you have to go to the next one and make up for it.

Which I strongly encourage all of you to do.

1 Well, everyone was scared of my kilt... or was that just me. I don't know, I was too shy to talk to anyone.

2 "Laughing Wolf... Straight White Guy...were hung and they appear to be straight" Well - yeah.

3 not scared of your kilt. Just scared of you not keeping it properly furled.

4 hey butthead... go delete that comment from wiki on your how to blog post

Posted by: Madfish Willie at January 12, 2006 09:57 PM (SyfL7)

5 Done. Now I just gotta wait 16 hours for the re-build to finish... :-/

6 Wow, so many ellipses one might be tempted to think I wrote something bad about the shindig. Nope, all good here! It feels like a movie review, you know. Wonderful...Touching...Moving When they actually wrote, As wonderful as a pedophile touching your child inappropriately, unexpectedly moving, like your bowels after an indian hot Curry!

7 All of the context works for me! Well, maybe not Jake's...

Posted by: Richmond at January 13, 2006 06:39 AM (e8QFP)

8 Heheheh... you know mine is in perfect context. Okay, not literally. I didn't want to have to mop the floor. (And that could be taken in a couple of ways... )

1 Ohhh having a phone number is *such* a good thing! Especially for those of us who are SEVERLY directionally challenged.... See you Sunday!

2 Wish I could go, instead I have to stay in Texas and watch the state burn up and our lake dry up.

3 Hell Harvey, that was mighty... nice of you to drop some digits. I might just call, 'cause truth be told, I'm in a perpetual state of loss, except where it comes to bettin' on bowl games... Is that number Fritzy's number, or ... a number where one can get directions from someone that knows the area?

Posted by: RedNeck at January 07, 2006 02:05 PM (05aMS)

4 That's the official number to the bar itself. You can also find it by Googling Fritz's Wooden Nickel, so I'm not giving away any state secrets :-)
