Eldon emailed me this thank-you note for the party. You’re welcome, dude!
Eldon added to the surreality of the party by not only being one of the few, the proud and brave to enter the hot tub; he also did it in a (brrrr) Speedo!
Girls who remember him from Crazy Go Nuts University are hereby entitled to take the day off for emotional trauma that that mental image may have caused.
Accordion City’s having a WiFi meetup this Wednesday at 7:00 pm at the very nice cafe/lounge SpaHa (the name is an amalgam of the street intersection where it’s located: SPAdina and HArbord). I’ll be there, as will Boss Ross and a number of WiFi users of all stripes, from hardcore Pringles can antenna hackers to just plain ol’ folks who like the idea of being able to hop online without wires.
There’s an Accordion City Joel on Software group forming. I’ve joined because I hang out and chat with geeks not only for fun — it’s my job!
You know you want to join. Be one on the cool kids. Join ussss….it’s blissss…

Today is the day of the mayoral election here in Accordion City. If you’re eligible, make sure you vote today!
If you’re still undecided, one place online you might want to check out is Rick McGinnis’ excellent election blog, Last Chance City.
(If you really must know, David Miller’s getting my vote.)
The next couple of entries in this blog will be about the very lovely week I’ve had, with highlights from:
As a taste, here’s a photo (courtesy of Rannie “Photojunkie” Turingan) that sums up the party quite nicely:
Before I begin, my thanks to all those who attended, double thanks to all those who helped out with setting up, and triple thanks to my housemates, who went above and beyond the call of duty in helping get this thing together. It was an excellent party, and I have no idea how I’ll top it next year…yet.
If you attended, you probably know what happened.
If you didn’t, you missed out on: two bathtubs packed to the rim with booze, the most eclectic group of partiers you’ll find anywhere, good music, great conversation, unbloggable drama and co-ed semi-naked and naked hot tub action.
Plus, I used my schmooze-fu to talk the cops down from lots of fines to a stern warning.
I’ll report in more detail once I’ve had some sleep. Watch this space!
