Fireworks Crack Bell in Philadelphia!

by

Only as Strong as Weakest Link

The Fourth of July Open Comments Night get together in Philadelphia, left the city with a cracked Liberty Bell and a virulent strain of the infamous link leak virus. Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes. Many new folks attended because of the patriotic holiday and so the infection has spread through the entire northeast.

Cool links were shared.

I’m not sure why HART didn’t bring any recipes with him this time. Maybe he ate before he came.

Overheard Through the Night

Many of the same faces were there, but so were many new ones. These are a few of the statements that were heard. All of them are, of course, taken totally out of context. If you want to know more, I’ve left the comment number so that you can find the thread.

taorist Says: Yeah. My real name’s taorist, my last name’s .com

Starbucker Says: Hi Christine – and Liz, what’s this about thinking in the bathroom?? I must confess when I was very very young I used to read a lot of encyclopedias there….

Mark Wade Says:
Found something to leave a comment at taorist 🙂 Something about you Liz…

54
Ben Yoskovitz says: Ideas coming to people in the bathroom!?!
Bravo! I’m with you there. Happens to me all the time. I’ve nearly fallen off the toilet a few times…(Was that too much info? Just tell me if it was, I won’t be hurt.)

62
Joe Says: I’ll be back shortly, I am going to sit on my lawn (since it is newly mowed) and watch some fireworks. Won’t be more that about 75-100 comments.

68
Christine Kane Says: as far as comments go… lots of people are scared to leave them. it took me forever to leave a comment for liz. and i read her blog for a long time.

70
Cuileann McKenzie Says: My husband who is here with me thought it was hilarious that I was 2 pgs behind the action by the time my comment was ready (so y’all can laugh too).

79
Rick Says: I thought that was where your evil side came from, Liz – I assumed some of your time in publishing was spent as an editor.

92
ME Strauss Says: Why, Mr. Mark, *she said in her best Scarlett O’Hara* I think you are the kindest man. I’ve been publishing since my son was born in 1985. I was only 6 years old then, of course. He was a miracle baby.

Fraser Says:anyone still celebrating?

HART (1-800-HART) Says:
Hi Fraser .. Nice to meet another Canadian .. and, if we don’t already know each other .. Our parents grew up in different neighborhoods together! I’m sure of it.

262
Douglas Says: Nah, I’m here Liz. Yes, it is addictive. I think I’ll be leaving in a few, though. It’s getting fairly late here.

268
Chris Cree Says:Liz, you ought to know that Fat Boy (the Cat Whisperer figured out it was him) got his aim back. Even without thumbs. So all is well.

290
Cat Says: Chocolate! I forgot I have a huge bar in the fridge.

285
Tammy Says: Well, I can’t stay long ~. . . I have learned something though ~ I think I could just go through and meet all of you on your blogs which is what I’m working on so when you see Tammy ~ it’s probably me from Liz’s corner!

damn, it’s already the fith here… i somehow managed to totally miss independence day – i live i japan, but i’m still an american. i must be crasy busy not to have at least planned a bbq. oh well. next year, i’ll be back stateside, so i won’t miss it. double damn, it’s too rainy to shoot of fireworks… what a waste.

And here’s to a couple of friends who went to Greece to find us. My bad — I gave them a confusing link.


timethief and ScotHerrick, you two are the best sports. Thanks for understanding.
