(Finger-)painting the town purple: Boston RealSpace Report
Todd Palino
Although we all had a great time, and dinner was wonderful, for the most
part, there was a little problem that caught everyone's attention, I'm sure.
There were no croutons in the salad.

haven't been around the Place much. In fact, I haven't even lurked all
that much recently. To me that was pretty evident when we all introduced
ourselves and for the life of me I couldn't figure out who was who. It's
one thing to talk to everyone via e-mail and see that e-mail addresses and
remember who you are talking to, but it's completely different to see people
at a Real Space and then sitting there saying to yourself, "OK, I spoke to all
these people in e-mail, but I can't seem to put the names and faces together
with the e-mail addresses!". And, then I asked /* in a quiet aside who
was who and that made it worse! And the discussions of what was happening
in the Place completely lost me.
I had a great time, and enjoyed meeting everyone. And the purple
hand trick was great! (It's a shame no one had a camera ready to take a
picture of Mike's face)
Death to anyone who touches the jalapenos next time!
And, you know, I had this strange craving that night to sit
and watch re-runs of Star Trek: the Next Generation and to eat a box
of croutons. How very strange.....

The purple guy chuckles. "Actually, even if you are in here pretty
regularly, it can still strike you when you meet people in RL.
Sometimes the mental pictures I've built up about people are pretty
accurate, sometimes they are totally off... it's _great_ to attach
real people to the names and conversations, but it can be a little
disorienting, too!"

/* nods, solemnly. "It's true. And you know, we had a whole
BOX of croutons that seems to have gone missing now... did you
eat them, or have they gone to pay homage to their Queen?"

"Urk," says Valentine, sighing and smiling and shaking her head. "Tink,
I am going to *get* you for this..."
