The BA mentioned me in his blog. OK, so he didn't get my handle right , but PR is PR right!

Eye for an eye however, perhaps a Mod can change the title from the current error to --- Kaptain K : "I'm infamous!"
Also note that NGC3314 was also there



At least... I think I got that screen name right...

Some of our newest recruits were present, including Swtchtech, eric_marsh and 01101001's mole.

If Code and Spacedog were there- I hope they speak up!

Parejkoj, sadly was unable to attend, which is a shame because I wanted to tie him to a chair and grill him about quasars.

I missed it. Couldn't find anyone to work a night shift for me.

Here's the quote from the blog
Quote:
We met lots of people from the area, including BAUT moderator Tinaa (Hi Tina!), BAUTer Neverfly, Cross Country, and Captain K, and lots of other great people. Thanks especially to George for sponsoring the event!

Why didn't the BA mention himself and Frazer?

Well, it could be that he has a picture of himself and Fraser at the event on the blog. Besides, it would be kinda silly to say "I met so and so , so and so, and so and so. Oh by the way I was there too." Duh!

Oh, and Neverfly, infamous would have been if he had mentioned the part of our conversation where I was talking about why I had been MIA from the board for so long and I stepped over the TMI line.

can't convey smiles and winks very well with type.
