MamaDramaConQueso II

01/12/08 | by etee [mail] | Categories: People, Taste of Texas

Today, we had the second ever MamaDramaConQueso. Since it is the second, it was named MamaDramaConQueso II, or MDcQ II for short. The brainfartchild of Jenny (The Bloggess and MamaDrama) and Laura (Blog con Queso), it provides local bloggers an opportunity to get hammered and watch Jenny dance on the tables nekkid place faces (real faces!) to names (real names!), and practice their socialization skills, while enjoying tasty Tex-Mex in a family-friendly (well, sort of) environment.

This time, the son decided to stay home, so the wife and I made it a date. We had a chance to meet lots of new folks, and greet some we had seen last time. As is the norm, I took along the camera, and got a whole lotta photos to blackmail folks with share with y'all. Here is just a sample, arranged to tell a story:

Welcome to MamaDramaConQueso II, where we had

MamaDramaConQueso II

lots of people, talking.

We had

MamaDramaConQueso II

Bloggers looking at the camera.

We had

MamaDramaConQueso II

Bloggers engaged in conversation.

We had geeky bloggers bring geeky things, which led to questions like

MamaDramaConQueso II

How does this &#*$% thing open up!?

Resulting in this:

MamaDramaConQueso II

Oh, THAT's how!

Then, we were treated to a show when

MamaDramaConQueso II

Jenny and Laura danced on the table.

Jenny said "I'll dance for peanuts" -

MamaDramaConQueso II

and someone obliged her.

Some bloggers

MamaDramaConQueso II

watched the action,

While others were

MamaDramaConQueso II

engrossed with the new toys.

And they ended up

MamaDramaConQueso II

attracting a crowd.

Yet other bloggers just took the opportunity to say "HI!", including

MamaDramaConQueso II

Min and Polimom.

Of course, there was food, covering all the food groups:

MamaDramaConQueso II

Queso, eggs, beans, guacamole, and chips -

Along with

MamaDramaConQueso II

Chocolate and bacon!

And, of course, we can't forget, every kid's most favoritist animal of all:

MamaDramaConQueso II

PIGEONS!

NOTE: These, and other, photos will be posted on Flickr, once I get a

a round Tuit

Oh, those scenes look familiar! hah...and I had that dish, too. My memories have been recaptured with this post, and I'm still smiling, so it must've been something good.

Love these! Except for the ones that you photoshopped showing me standing on tables.

Like I would ever do something that uncouth.

Margaret - you're very welcome.

Pear Lady - yes, that dish had my two favorite food groups in it: queso and eggs. I simply couldn't resist.

JtB - Photoshop? Who, me?

Thanks everyone - we had a great time!

Dude, something must be horribly wrong with your camera, because I look older than dirt. Oh, wait a minute - I do believe I AM older than dirt. As you were.

Geeky bloggers? When I told my daughters that I sat at the geek table, they laughed and pointed out we were all geeks! But I pointed out that there were cool geeks, popular geeks, uber geeks and I'm sure other types.

I just happened to sit at the uber geek table although I, personally, am not an uber geek. The cool geek table must have been full.

And the bacon chocolate bar wsn't all that bad if you like salt.

So what exactly was that little laptoppy thing? It looks like it attracted quite a bit of attention.

Taking Over the Intarwebz
Last night, while amusing myself by huffing Easy Cheese*, the following realization hit me like a cold, wet Humboldt Squid:
