Today I finally met the other Dave, who I've known on the internet for a couple years now. We've had several near miss meetings, and thought that fate deemed it that we should never meet face to face.
But tonight, we finally did!
It was anticlimactic, no fireworks or angels trumpeting in the air. Just a packed French Vietnamese restaurant with Raven and Mona looking on. And of course, I'm only at 70% Yano-ness, since I had my glasses and I'm suffering from a pretty bad cold. That, and contrary to popular belief, I'm shy when I first met people, or at least a little slow to warm up. Only in certain situations am I as outgoing as I am here.
Yet it was still great to meet him, and to hang out at his pimp pad, watching the Dave Chappelle show on Tivo. (I really need to get that!) He was everything I though he would be, but more. So much more!!! *evil grin*
Today I also met up with Susan G, and had a delicious Thai meal and gossiped as only short track fans can. It's so great to have this network of people, all over the US, of all walks of life, to hang out with when I'm in a strange town.
Also talked to Walter, but a meeting was not meant to be. But he did mention (as he always does) for me to watch, or even BUY, 'Firefly' on DVD. Don't worry, I will!!!!
San Francisco has been super busy, but I don't this busy-ness, since it's in such great company!

In other news, my cousin Trully is in the hospital (looks like everybody's bodies are breaking down!) so I'm a bit worried. I did get to talk to her on the phone and she was pretty out of it, and I admit it, I kinda had to laugh. It's nothing serious, but it's never fun to be in the hospital!

if you dig deep, imperfect, and colorful characters, and dig the big Joss, you'll dig this series!
sorry Yano if I am so persistent, but, hot damn!, it's one of the tv series to come about in a long time; only to have Fox cancel it before it concluded its inaugural season.
say hi to Dave!
I'll see ya in 3 weeks!
