Surprising evening

[pphaneuf]

Went to Old Dublin tonight, had a lot of fun with azrhey (and J!), blacksquiggles, miseri, swestrup and taxlady. Came out of that with all the body parts I had on the way in, which is pretty good, in my book.

After that, I felt like walking around and taking photos, so I headed toward my place, remembering that emjayne mentioned being at Grumpy's with some other people, thought I'd stop there on the way. Ended up staying until 2am, practicing my rusty-but-once-good candid photography skills (timing is everything!) with a bunch of willing subjects. Taking good photos of people while they're talking is all about timing, and I found myself annoyed at the shutter lag on my 20D (which is actually excellent, but it's still there!). Canon needs to make a rangefinder with their 20D innards, obviously. :-)

Now, time to hit the bed.

Notably missing from the photos is don_teo, and two others who were also there later on.

Crap... looks like I missed something fun last night :( I could have used that!

Next time you guys do something improvised give me a call :)

I try to make it to Grumpy's every Tuesday night around 10 for some conversation and relaxation. It's grown into a mini-LJ meet-up, with anywhere from 5-25 people showing up, though it averages to around 10.

It'd be wonderful to meet you. Now that the weather's warmed up, there are few things more pleasant than spending a few hours sitting on a terrace, sipping a drink and chatting with new, interesting, and intelligent people.
