Annie rolled her eyes, and Elastic apologized for not knowing what color red was*, and we went to wait for No Cool Story to come in on her plane.
While waiting, Annie and Elastic pointed out an elderly lady penning her memoirs. Annie thought it was so sweet, and wanted to get a picture of her. She bribed Elastic, but Elastic declined. Always the fearless one**, I grabbed the camera and shot this photo of the dear woman.
Sadly, you cannot see her piercings, or the tattoos of her granchildren (would you believe she's Tupacs granny?) on her calves. I'm pretty sure, the way she was writing, that that book will be out in the fall. We can say, "We knew her when"..."when she was writing that book at the airport."
Before too long, NCS appeared in her cute little outfit, and we all trotted to the van after we acquired her luggage.
As we headed to the Cheesecake factory, I asked who would we be meeting. Annie said, "Well, there's Aubrey, Amber, and Angel waiting at the Cheescake factory..."
I gasped.
"Wait- Angel? As in SoDak Angel??"
Yes. That was the Angel she was talking about. Now for some reason, I had it in my head, that SoDak was going to be visiting Colorado the week BEFORE, and would not be there for the party. This made me sad, but I had come to accept it. Now Annie was telling me I was going to meet her IN THE FLESH. Er...that sounded bad. I mean, in real life. I had long since dreamed of meeting SoDak. Even wrote a post about her.***
That's how much I liked her. Then I remembered my outfit. "Oh crap", I thought to myself. I look like a greasy pig that works at Target. Wonderful! Then I remembered she said we'd be meeting Aubrey too. "DAng!" I thought to myself. I could tell, just by reading Aubreys blog, that Aubrey was cool. Beyond cool. I could also tell she was a snappy dresser, and here I was in my Target outfit, and greasy hair. *SIGH* Everyone told me to shut up, and quit whining.****
Well, after driving all around downtown...whatever city we were in, we finally found it. No matter what anyone tells you, the streets are not alphabetical.;) We found parking, and entered the Cheescake factory.
To be continued.
*No, not really
**That's a lie too
***See my Jan. 5, 2007 post
****Nope, that's not the truth either.

This has been the most suspenseful recap of the Colorado Blog Partay yet.
Give me the goods.
I'm going to write you a scathing letter to be sent to you in the event that the suspense from all this sends me to an early grave!
Gah!!
We are like twins because I like the "start from the beginning" details going on here. Can't wait to hear the rest!
just call me on the phone and tell me the rest of the story.....I can't wait!!
(and thanks for adding the three absentees into your accounting)
I heart you.
Waiting...and waiting..
You're lucky granny didn't beat you up for capturing her image to sell to some trashy tabloid.
And thanks for missing me. (and I want to know what all you said about me behind my back because I'm neurotic like that)
this is fun to hear about your trip! while you were gone we kept coming to your blog, hoping that you might have just dropped in for a sec. thanks for catching us up! :)
I love your recap so far. You are a true friend to fill us in on the details. Thank You!
This is like that water torture where they drip water on you till you go crazy...
::trying to be patient:::
Thank you. I am sufficiently flattered, now. Although the more I hear about it the more I know how badly we really missed out. Sooooo glad you had a great time (even without us no-shows)!*
*I especially love your footnotes.
Cheesecake Factory? So yummy!
I wish I could've made it.
I love your footnotes. Fun way to keep the story alive.
I like the recap breakdown. It keeps me from being on the computer too long. I keep going back to re-read all the stories. So sad I missed it. I'll drag the family with me next time- of course they will have to go do something else, so I can hang out with the "cool chicks" (I get to hang out with my cool family daily)
I never get to meet grannies of stars. I hang out at the airport all the time! of course that is usually due to delays.
and I never talk to anyone sigh
I hate how blogger removes my spaces and dot dot dots
I like reading your version. You're remembering a lot more details than I am. See??? If I don't take notes, I forget everything.
You are very detailed oriented. I love it!
Make me sound really cool when you get to me. Ok?
carrot, i love the asterisks. i just wanted to type the word asterisks. and for the love of all that i holy would everyone STOP mentioning how i looked and how i dressed. hopefully there was more to me than that. *sniff* i personally thought you looked lovely, target uniform aside. i loved your glasses and tried to tell you so a couple of times but with everyone else talking it was hard to get a word in edgewise. and i loved the quiet little comments you kept making. you are one who is just as funny as your blog makes you out to be. maybe even more.
I cannot live up to these crazy expectations! I mean....don't get me wrong, I think I am good enough, and dog gone it, people like me...but really...I do love how detailed you are....I always say...now tell me, and leave NOTHING out! I am even on the edge of my seat, and I was there....your story is allowing me to relive....I don't even want to blog, just wait over here until you are all done...then I know for sure it is over....sniff..
Next time we do this, Carrot, we'll have to wear matching shirts that say 'As Seen On The Internet.'
I'll buy them in red.*
