Like all self-respecting nerds, I take solace in online communities. My favorite is reddit.com, a snarky and smartish news aggregator site with lots of awesome comments and pun threads. I took it upon myself to organize an outing with adult beverages for my fellow San Francisco redditors…. there were allegedly ~4 other members who had replied affirmatively to the invitation other than myself and Asher. Apparently anddisaid showed up at 6:30 and we missed her! :( However, much to my delight, 5 reddit admins showed up to keep me company! Chris, Mike and his awesome librarian wife Hillary, Dave, Jeremy, and Alexis were all totally fun people, as I had suspected. They even gave me a bobblehead!
They are bigger than I thought.
Further pictorial evidence follows.

We all drew versions of the reddit alien. I had no idea that its arms were not behind its back, stroking a weapon or something.
Please examine this for weirdness, note the nipples and pedobears.
Thank you for coming! I had a lot of fun meeting you.
reddit is my friend.
