Engadget Reader Meet-Up
Last night was the first Bay Area Engadget Reader Meet-Up. This is how I got my friends to go:
Veronica: “Change in plans. We’re going to the Engadget party.”
Naomi: “Will there be alcohol present?”
Veronica: “Probably, nerds love to get drunk.”
And so we made our way to a non-descript warehouse in the Mission. I knew I was in for a treat when I noticed the Segway parked inside. I managed to obtain a t-shirt based on the promise to Ryan that I would wear it to the CNET offices and take my picture. We’ll see about that!
It was there that I met Julian and Noelle from Escape My Head. We chatted for a bit, and then I realized that I probably had enough to drink when I asked Julian if he went to school locally, and he answered “No, Colorado actually.” Then I said “Oh, you commute?” Sorry, guys. I should have known you were joking. *sigh*
The crowning glory of the evening was Jeremiah winning the OQO model 01+. And yes, you owe me big time for:
1. Inviting you.
2. Making you get a raffle ticket.
You can repay me by fixing my bike!

i’m on it! i’m always down for working on bikes. what i do think is funny is the part where you kicked me after i won the OQO, as if i hadn’t been there it just might have been you who won. the dude with the number after mine spoke to me, so i knew who would have won it instead – and believe me, he IS NOT cool.
