Future Youth Take Note: I don't care what Beck does, the Seventies are not a good fashion reference. The clothes were designed for disco-dancing, coke snorting, pre-gym bodies. Ew. Even if you have a body like that, we do not need to know it. In the South, the only people who dress this way are White Trash and I can not shake the connection. Worse are Adults (i.e., anyone over 24) dressing this way. Maybe it's Cool to wear a ratty old t-shirt and I'm being terribly Old School but to me = Lazy and Unimaginative.

There was a question and answer session which had Xeni walking out to the audience to field queries. Suddenly the whole thing felt very Jenny Jones Show and I imagined what I would say.

"This is for the guy with the fuzzy hair and the girl on the end. How can you say you love her and then go and sleep with some other chick? You need to be a MAN! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?"

Alas, I did not. The adorable Kitty Bukkake spoke and at the mere mention of her blog, the audience broke into applause. She certainly deserves recognition as "Bukkake" is a much more interesting topic than "News Aggregators".

The RCG generously mentioned me and SRO, referring to my post about me and my - gulp! - meds. She was too cute. She choked on saying HIV or AIDS, poor thing, and I assumed it was concern on her part with disclosing TMI. Anything she would have said would have been fine.

There was Spill-Over from Galleries around the Electronic Orphanage and quite a number of people walking up had no idea what was going on. "Chuckles", the chick taking money at the door, was more than happy to explain the entire HIstory of Computing. Visual aides were her mohawk and fish-nets. Later, a ViewMaster mysteriouly appeared and was passed around to all who could not get inside the Event. I do not think the pictures had anything to do with the event or Computing but then again, I did not see them. Whatever they were, they provided minutes of Good Clean Fun.

Because of the impressive turnout, there were a good number of us standing in the back. One woman decided she would sit right there with her computer on the floor which was about the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time. There was Wireless, so I assume she was writing about the Event although she could have just been checking her email. Whatever she was doing, she compounded her already shakey Rep by asking loudly every minute or so "What are they doing?". Her friend would then describe in detail whatever was happening on the Panel, like recalling a movie for a blind person.

"Now Sussanah's talking. She's touching her head. Tony laughed."

Then the woman sitting on the floor with her computor would type furiously, like a Court Stenographer. Stuff that was Snooze City to me was all Orange Terror to her. Maybe she is just retarded.

I looked for you Filchyboy! I would see men I thought could have been You, at least the Back of You since I was standing behind everyone. There was one guy that looks Just Like You from the Back but then he turned and it Wasn't You. I looked at the back of every man's head and tried to picture it Turned Around and Smiling with a Goatee like the Pic on your blog. No You. One man had a very nice haircut however.

Japanese women always dress up. One was holding up a Camcorder and asking if the Panel was all Norwegian.

I have no idea but nothing would surprise me.
