Whoo! My wife and I hung out with Pete (latexer) and Christel (christel) tonight....it included a Mongolian BBQ with another three dudes, including a user (DJ someone), and then we went bowling! And I won the last round! Well, only because it was the end of the hour, and it powered down. ^_^ Otherwise, my wife and Pete were kicking some serious tail for the first two games. After that, there were a few quick rounds of pool aka billiards, depending on where you're from.

We learned a few things...Christel has trouble with her "wees", Pete plays "Wii bowling" (euphamism? you be the judge!), and, of course, that after a story involving Tijuana and the Pennsylvania Dutch, we agreed that "Los Amish" would be an awesome band name.

Also found out how the nick latexer came into being, and the the taillight of a Cadillac placed over your ceiling lamp instantly turns your double-wide mobile home transforms it into a Red Light District. Oh, and that vi(m) > *.

Anyway, we had a TON of fun. Especially bowling and then the pool games after the bowling. Pete + my wife OWNED the lanes. Actually, possibly Christel owned them more, not because of her score, but because of the way she stared them down. Intimidating the pins is the key to the game, it seems. I'm just glad I was able to play; my back didn't give me any trouble, though my thumb's a little swollen.

Us SoCal devs have got to get together more often. Any visiting Norwegian-cum-UKians will be granted honorary SoCal conspirator status. Can't wait for SCALE now! It's going to be such a blast. We'll need a huge hall just to fit all of the Gentoo devs, and an even bigger one for all the partying to follow, I'm sure.
