Key Issues

Blogmeet Rules

1. Do NOT be late to the airport when carpooling with my gurrl, the Blightess. She is a woman on a mission, and she will flat throw the POTUS under the bus if he gets between her and a blogmeet! (To her credit, she did ease up a bit on the 25 minute delay cursings, as we were afforded a front row view of Airforce One taking off directly in front of our plane. Very cool. We shall have pics soon.)

2. Do NOT make fun of Joe Dirt when he upgrades his ticket to biz class and gets stuck by an elderly lady who can talk nonstop for over an hour.... in FIVE languages, AHAHAHA!!!!!!!, so much for "No hablo..."

3. Do NOT tell this man or his loverly wife that you only got three hours of sleep and that you need a nap. He will look at you as though you have five heads, and SHE will melt you down with dimples and bright blue eyes. There is no fighting this couple. Just go easy on yourself, and give in.

4. Do NOT bother trying to get comfortable in the tire swings at Margaritaville. They suck, as the tilt is not optimal for the human behind, but I love the idea. And I gave Jason the bartender my url, and he PROMISED to comment. Helloooo... Jason? I also gave him a few other urls. Hey, they was swingin' with me; surely they don't mind.

5. Do have a conversation with a local blogger. She might actually be nice and tell you how NOT to look like a retarded tourist, besides new blood is always exciting to us creatures of the night. Speaking of new blood, I met a new honey in person for the first time in Nola, and he is a good 'un. Always great to meet someone who's been hanging out faceless on the blogroll for a while.

6. Do show cleavage to the honeys on the balconies for premo beadage. Do NOT take your shirt off and rub your nipples with wetted fingers, not even for the cutie with the red mohawk.

7. Do talk dirty in Swedish to Roy, the handsome carriage driver, because I'm betting he's waited his whole life to hear someone of the opposite sex utter those very words!

8. Do buy something pink, frilly, and emasculating to spring on the guys once they've had one too many.

9. Do buy something freaky for the freaky. When dealing with deities, it is best to come bearing gifts.

10. Do SHARE your compromising photos! Hey, it's Nola! These things are to be expected. And, hey, these pics prove that you are more than simply the sweetheart, the charmer AND the intellectual that we all know and love...you are also a SUPAH-STUD!

11. Do NOT feel like a class A LLLoser if you passed out before sundown on either one or BOTH evenings. You are the stuff legends are made of. Besides, the town knows no time. And yet, if someone is busting her sweet ass trying to walk yo butt back to the hotel because she happens to have developed an affection for yo silly ass, do refrain from napping all spontaneous-like all over the sidewalk, okay?!

12. Do NOT forgot to thank the makers... In this case, two excellent friends, Sam and Christina. Thank you SO much for insisting I attend. I have picked a bit here, but only to refrain from being overly sappy. At any gathering, seating didn't matter. That is how much everyone enjoyed one another. I can not thank you two enough! I wouldn't have been there if not for you.

13. If you missed it this time, do NOT miss it next year!
