pamalamadingdong + blogfather meetup!

passion for running category: running on Monday, September 18 2006

So, Pam came to Edmonton … briefly. I didn’t get to take her home (get your mind out of the gutter, Jon!). I didn’t get to show her around Edmonton. I didn’t even get to spend much time with her …a mere 90 minutes. However, the time we did spend together was super-cool.

You see, Pam was originally supposed to arrive Friday evening, stay over night and then leave early Saturday morning but her flight got mixed up and she ended up being in Edmonton between about 4:30 and 11:00 P.M. on Saturday. Lori and I had dinner plans (with reservations) with people we rarely see, so I only had 90 minutes to spend with Pam. Only 90 minutes! Ugh. Oh well, it’s quality not quantity right?

It was neat to that Pam immediately felt she knew me because I also had that feeling. In a way, I suppose I shouldn’t have been a surprised about that because we have known one another in cyber-space way for a few years now, but I suppose there is always that question when you have a real-life meeting that your cyber-impression may have been off.

Well, it wasn’t. Pam is as awesome and fun as she is on her blog. We had a great chat. We talked very little about blogging and stuck mostly to getting to know each other more personally. We talked about our families, where we live, my bizarre history with women (lesbians in particular) and even a bit about running.

Thanks Pam! That was fun and the next time you are in Edmonton, you better stay longer so we can show you around a bit. :)

It made my layover go much quicker. PLUS? I found wifi once I went into the secured area.

I can’t believe that was your FIRST RBF meetup!! Obviously, it’s time you moved.
glad you had fun. Apparently you really know how to show a girl a good time!
