Lately, I've been experiencing the most amazing coincidences, and I love them for the quirky twists they bring to me. But tonight was weird.
I went to dinner with Elida whom I love to talk and hang out with. After dinner, I suggested we stop by one of my favorite bars, the Odeon Bar. I love that place because every time I go, no matter what sort of crazy event they have going on, I have a blast. Tonight, however, we walked in and there was a different crowd. A little dot.com-y, shall I say. Then I find a big screen with the words "WordPress." Whaaaaa? Then I see people I recognize from the - eeek! B-l-o-g-o-s-p-h-e-r-e. So I poke Niall Kennedy (a good old friend at this point with our intersecting careers) and he tells me this is a party for WordPress for its 100,000+ downloads and announcement of its incorporation. AND, he was just hanging out with my brother at a conference at Stanford.
Congratulations to WordPress!! But sheesh, I *really* came here to hang out with Elida, expecting some weird band to be belting out cover songs from the 1980s using pots and pans.
Blogging is everywhere!!
The cool thing was we also met up with a friend from the Dive Bar crowd who told us about a neat Bunny party this weekend. Elida and I are *so* there!!
One of the benefits of living in San Francisco. Nowhere else in the world would you just happen upon such events methinks.

Chicken John is such a sellout :)
Just kidding of course; wordpress is open source and not making any money, just like the Odeon.
