Thanks all (old friends, new friends, and new neighbors) who could come. I had a super time.
One attendee looked around and remarked that I was the most popular girl she knows. I’m very flattered.
I must also get some more typing paper…
When I was first coming up with new categories for my blog, I assigned all things hipsterish to a category called “Unironic hipsterism.”
Last night I was browsing through very small array, a side project/blog of Dorothy Gambrell, she who makes Cat and Girl and whom I generally adore. As well as having all sorts of delightful graphs and charts and other graphic silliness, there is a circa 2004 drawing called “Indie Will Eat Itself.”
I think that’s a better category name. So I’m going with it.
You can assume that if I’m not blogging I’m busy with other projects. Of late, I have been crocheting socks, noodling about on the ORG, and making stupid videos.
A tight-knit group of duckies have decided to try to mount a convention on the anniversary of the end of The Show. We’ve selected a few cities we think would be a good meet-up place and we are collecting votes through September 10. We’re talking analysis of lodging, entertainment, transportation, accessibility, etc., during the weekend of March 14-17ish.
The line-up:
- Austin, TX
- Albuquerque, NM
- Chicago, IL
- New York, NY
- Los Angeles, CA
Got any thoughts on those places? Let me know.
We are currently counting votes in a project on the ORG and tallying them in a Google Spreadsheet. You can see a live update as we update the stats here. As we get closer to the deadline and a narrower race we’ll do some more investigation into venues, etc.
As Lordess of the Geeks, it’s my job to document Sports Racer IM chats with extremely scientific diagrams.

I should note that drunk puppies, Kool Aid, and transiit in a dress are missing from the graph.
Original pre-move comment from transiit:
Awesome. You get all my “Heroism Gold Stars” for today for actually posting it.
I’m looking forward to when we can beat this record. =)
