Okay, you guys saw me take these pictures, and you KNOW I work for The Internet, so hopefully having your anonymity violated doesn’t come as too much of a shock.

Now, I can’t commit to doing this every week—but what if we were to arrange a Blogtown trivia night once a month or so, would folks be into it?

  1. Excellent. I look kind of creepy, which is probably how you all imagined I would look.

    @ Kiala

    Give me a minute and I’ll change my picture. (Apparently blogtown has a problem with win2k and the picture software. Facebook has the same problem.)

  2. Oh!

    I’m so excited to put faces to names…not to mention the existence of something called a triviacat.

    Also, I’m moving back to Portland in August. Keep the trivia alive until then please.

  3. That picture gives me new found respect for ROM’s constitutional sensitivity to the rabid-Andy Rooneys-in-training contingent. I need to make it to one of these.

  4. I’m in pink, Ned’s looking quizzical in that first photo, michelle’s clutching the one-eyed toy thing, smirk is the chick with glasses that isn’t me, joneser’s in blue, rob’s posing with jonser and TriviaCat…

  5. RIGHT! Congratulations are in order to “Team Douglas” (named for teammate Douglas Wolk, not pictured, who is nerd-famous, by the way)—joneser & her bf, ROM, Matthew, Sarah, Rob, etc. You guys=smart!

  6. Apparently I wasn’t photo worthy enough to be pictured.
    ……………sniff…………………..sniff………………sob

  7. @ abusive

    I have a bunch of pictures I didn’t post. You might be in one of them, but I don’t know because you were TOO SCARED TO SAY HELLO.

  8. I was SUPER bummed that my strategy of inviting Douglas (my next door neighbor!) out for a night of trivia totally backfired when our team (Team Melting Pussy?) was already full. He was then placed on the other team, which also had Steve in it as well, along with jonser +1, rom, matthew, sarah and rob. It’s pretty damn hard to compete against that kind of brain-power!

    Also: abusive, I totally did not know you were there. Next time???

  9. Michele said hello when I walked in. She knows who I am. Aaaaaaaaand yes I should have said hello. A troll must lurk before coming out from under his bridge.
    Next time I will.
    Squiggles RULE!!!!!

  10. We only had 6 people at a time. Steve left before Sarah joined us, and Douglas left before ROM showed up. Therefore I’m convinced that those four are actually the same two person, since I’ve never seen them in the same place at the same time.

  11. Kiala, the dude in the blue hoodie looking over his shoulder in the first pic is my assistant Samuel.

    Cheers –

  12. Oh man, now I kinda want to go to this. Damn you crippling social anxiety!

    If I show, can I bury my head into someone’s shoulder, as if I was an oversized, shy five-year-old?
