Taking a picture of someone taking a picture in my direction.
My Friday night was marked by the San Diego TwineUp, a small scale local Twitter meetup with big party energy. Rob, AKA Downtown Rob, of WebWizards was generous with hosting at his downtown home (which has a fabulous south view), providing a lot of the wine, and having Rock Band set up for group fun and alternating with the iPod video playlists for ambient background noise. I’ve been to most of the TWineUps, save one, since it started, and this night’s event had the highest turnout so far. The first one had only four people, including Rob and yours truly, and this one had about 10-15 people in all. I took lots of pictures pictures and sent much of them to my Twitpic account via my iPhone. Here are some of them, along some from another camera I brought to the party and a few taken by Rich of Rich and Creamy.
Rob, Melodie, Parisa, and The Global Patriot.

I was chatting with someone or something when Rob’s impromptu pizza came out the oven. It went pretty quickly, so I was lucky to get this shot.
Rob’s got the PIMP Grail. Whoever’s near it can’t resist its power, as shown by Melodie.
Rob’s got the power! Photo by Rich and Creamy. added 10:00am

Eventually, the TWineUp will outgrow Rob’s pad, but this one was a nice evening had by all. Until next time.
More pics can be seen on the TWineUp page and Dru’s Flickr set of the party.
note: pictures are not in chronological order. Special thanks to Rich and Creamy for three pictures used.

Such a nice write up of a really awesome night (even though that pic of me makes me look a wee bit crazy). Thanks for saying I’m fantastic! See you tonight at the blogger meetup?
Thanks, Jenn! I replaced your pic. Unfortunately, I’m not able to make the meetup tonight, which is a bummer. I’ll make one soon for sure.
