In the left picture is me with Wil Wheaton. Actor, author, blogger, tech junkie, and a nice guy. On the far left is Alex. He was this guy I chatted with at the bar, and was pretty cool. While waiting for more people to show up, we played Tetris on the Nintendo DSes that he brought. In the right picture is me with Drew Curtis, founder of Fark.com a great website for when you want to waste time. The items posted there are actual "news" stories culled from across the web, with remade headlines and cynical commentary. The occasion was a 10th Anniversary for Fark.com. They were being held in various places around the country and it was pretty cool that Drew showed up. And Wil being there just made it that much more awesome (he has his own Fark tag).
Afterward, Alex, Sam (another guy we met) and I went to go get food. Before the party, it was raining fairly hard, but fortunately it abated before we went out. Alex convinced us to try King Taco, just down the street from the Old Towne Pub where we were. The tacos there were really good and just spicy enough. I had never heard of them before, but it's definitely worth going back.
