where are my manners?

I'm way overdue in blogging a big thank you to Viviane for inviting me to the First Evar NYC Sex Bloggers Meet-and-Greet up. Viv was the consummate hostess: bustling about and making sure all her guests were chit-chattering and enjoying themselves.

Let me try to capture my highlights: Tony Comstock's observations about the intersection of memoir and porn -- Anakalia's adventures in immigration law -- PornoJim's explanation of his unique ouevre -- Chelsea Girl's ironic "No One Cares About Your Blog" T-Shirt stretched over a chest about which One Cares Deeply -- the erstwhile badmaninabadplace who is now a cautionary tale for the ages -- Les's full body lay out to retrieve Viviane's wine key -- debating the merits of lollipops and neckwear with Jefferson -- davening with Madeline -- and of course, talking relative New York City childhoods with my new best friend, Selina.

Luminaries that I missed out on but bathed in their glow included: Dacia, Cherry Bomb and J.

My apologies if I missed anyone with a URL.

For me it was an inspiring evening -- thanks to all for setting the bar so high.
