Shuggy meets Ellemeno
« on: August 29, 2006, 10:19:48 am »
On Monday morning, Ellemeno and I had our long-awaited meeting, all too brief. E. picked me up outside Terry Hall of the U of W (Seattle) and we had barely an hour and a half together - cut shorter when my camera filled up - just as I was about to take my picture of E. - and I had to go to a drugstore - and get stuck there with an unfamiliar machine  - while E waited in the car.

E. had taken me to see the Fremont Troll (pictures later). I'd hoped to take pictures of it for T-shirts etc, but there was a notice there about getting permission.

So we had to go straight to the airport. I did get a look at Fremont, which is very pleasant. A drawbridge provided a welcome delay. Thanks to BetterMost for bringing us together.

Shuggy was staying literally half a block from ym husband's office!

Shuggy, you are just as lovely in person as you are online.  It was a pleasure to spend time with you, albiet briefly.  There's a guest room in Seattle with your name on it!  Clarissa

Sounds nice you two.  Always nice when folks from the board get a chance to meet.

I get home next Tuesday (next Monday here - I don't have a Monday because I had two Fridays last week. I ring my man in half an hour, who's where it's early tomorrow evening). I'll edit and upload the pix after I get home, Sept 5. I'm now in SF, and tomorrow night I'll be staying with Ptannen.

Shuggy here! I'm at PTannen's computer and he's just been telling me all about Auntie's barbecue, the Castro screening, and showing me his boots and other neat stuff! We've only known each other face to face about 30 minutes but its like being old friends.

Pete here!
Yes, it's been fantastic!   ;D  There's so much to talk about - and never enough time!  It's so much fun to meet a Brokie in person that I know form the Board.  And Brokies are all such wonderfull people!

Shuggy: You bet!
     
Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?
