Happy Birthday GIGI.

Dear Gigi,

I love you because of lots of things.

Here's a handy list:

1. Mila introduced us. We should thank her...... Hey thanks Mila!
2. Then we were in Philly and you posed for me. 
3. Your hair is different alla-time, alla-time.
4. And you went to that palm-reader that one time and found my mom's scarf that she lost and you packed it up and sent it back to her and that was really nice of you. And now she's thinks you walk on water btw. Good luck keeping that up (just saying).
5. You are smart. 
6. You are fast at typing.
7. You are funny.
8. You are funny.
9. You don't mind if I repeat myself.

RGB Cupcakes are too much for some people. But not this gal.

Happy Birthday, GiGi!

Philly - TOON swag.

I went to Philadelphia. It was awesome. While I was there I met some of my Twitter friends.

I couldn't resist doing a little toon swag.

#UsGuys connection Jeff Belonger kindly organized the meetup - he runs MyPhillyAlive, a great resource if you want to find out what's going on in Philadelphia. Jeff updates it regularly and his passion for the city is infectious.

Jeff is fairly gregarious and tends to move around a lot.

But Gigi posed beautifully. She may have been frozen in terror, but it didn't show. I know the wondrous Gigi Peterkin from the Montreal #140Conf. She had me and The Huz doubled over with her witty repartee so seeing her again was a bonus.

Keep your eye on Gigi, for she's up to some amazing stuff, and is set to speak at the upcoming PodCamp.

And Mike Meulstee - also known as The Artistic Dork. Actually meeting/hugging Mike in person was one of the highlights of my trip.

We've been friends for a few years now - there's some people you just like to hang out with on Twitter and he's one of them - we finally got to meet IRL. Mike specializes in custom design and illustration for the web, he has an impressive portfolio and is also a kickass DrawSomething player.

I did lots of other stuff in Philadelphia, and I'll tell you about it later. But for now, please be satisfied with this:

Gonna fly now...tourists do crazy things right?
