A little less drunken, a lot less hung-over, and a truly great time. That is my wrap-up of the Blogger Bash.

It was good to catch up with people I haven’t seen in some time and to meet quite a few new people that will, hopefully, join us again. As a special guest, Nathan from Brain Fertilizer, was absolutely everything that you might imagine he would be: intelligent, inquisitive, polite, engaging, and an extremely welcome addition to the gathering. (Update: You might want to read Nathan’s thoughts on his trip to Denver for the Blogger Bash.)

To all, thank you for a great time and thank you for the conversations.

For a more complete story, check out Libercontrarian’s (another great addition to the group who will be added to the blogroll) post-bash story. Ryan Scott has a good mess of links and memories slightly less sullied by alcohol.

Another new face was Wadcutter who I wish I had talked to a bit more. But by the time I knew who he was, it was late and both of us had already had a few drinks. Jed, and older hand at these gatherings, has his usual great post-bash post--and will hopefully be inviting me to the celebration of firearms and blogger marksmanship that he’s organizing with a number of the other bloggers.

Special thanks and recognition go out to Jeff, Robin, Steve Wheeler, Publicola, Dorkafork, Matt, Matt, Steve, Andy, and Darren (who also has a post-bash post). (And, yes, I’ll actually link all these bits up once I get a few more spare minutes.)

PS- There were quite a few more faces and names to link up--I wish I had thought to put out a guest book so I could make sure to get to all of them. If yours is a name or a site that I’ve forgotten to list, don’t hesitate to leave a comment and I’ll add you to the list so that everyone knows that you (like us) are one of the cool kids.

Update: Another attendee was Jiggity from Avoiding the Tar Baby. My bad for not including him on the original list (and for not remembering his real name)--I blame the booze, the broads, and the boisterous conversation.
