The staff of WCD met up with the legendary Borepatch, along with bloggers Josh and Matthew, last night at Green Mesquite BBQ.
Borepatch his ownself notes the irony of us using Al Gore’s Internets to plan this meetup, since we spent much of our dinner discussing ways to smash the state (along with how to fix the educational system, where we could go shooting, downtown apartments, SF books, and a whole bunch of other random crap).
We are encouraged by Borepatch’s suggestion that we might be doing this again next time he’s out, and are hopeful that we can get at least a couple of other folks to join us. The honorable Borepatch is a charming and gregarious dining companion; dinner with him is indeed a treat. (Edited to add: We just realized that might be read as slighting Josh and Matthew, so let us make it clear that they’re pretty good guys, too.)
“Smash the state: … I like the sound of that …
But it was a total pleasure last night, even with the traffic down MoPac!
I live near Austin and follow both your blog and Borepatch. Missed out last night, maybe next time.
Ben:
We’ll try to be a little better about giving a heads-up next time, too.
It was good times had by all. We will have to do it a gain.
🙂
