Please come to Denver

…for the Samsphere conference. Or don’t. It’s a free market political activism thing, after all, so it’s not like it needs your cruddy charity.

Samsphere will not play the victim card!

— Having said that, if you’re in the Denver area and have the inclination, drop by the Adam’s Mark Hotel; I’ll be speaking on the 1:00 panel. What I’ll be speaking about is anyone’s guess at this point — but the little armored rat has already slipped into his sweater vest and is busy mainlining Ouzo and peanut butter protein bars, so it could get ugly (when he falls off the wagon this way, he tends to ball himself up good and tight and really, you know, roll with it. Which means that were I a piece of comely rumaki with a charming laugh, I’d be making sure my chastity belt was in DEFCON 1 lockdown mode about now).

Also scheduled to speak (at the 3:00 panel) is our old pal David Harsanyi. Then, cocktails and bite-sized crab puffs — and a bit of networking with people who don’t know who I am and who wouldn’t much care if they did.

FOR FREEDOM!

    Man, I’d love to check it out but alas cannot. Good luck and make sure the dillo has some condoms. THAT could get really ugly.

  2. Jeff G. says:

    What if I said Dan would be there? Then would you come?

    Thor would.

  3. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – Just be sure to lock the liquor cabinet on your way out. Remember what happened last time.

  4. Pablo says:

    Any chance that this is being recorded for posterity?

  5. Diana says:

    So … that’s today … right?

  6. gamera says:

    today????????
    yikes.
    i’ll try

  7. Jeff G. says:

    ‘Tis today. In fact, I should be leaving by now, but I haven’t yet showered, nor do I have any idea about the dress code.

    Think I’ll be rocking a sweater vest, too.

  8. Jeff G. says:

    Of course, Dan linked this a while back, but the response was so…uh, muted, that I was loathe to mention it again.

    But what the fuck. If I can’t plug myself…

    Wait, pretend I didn’t use those terms.

  9. you need the jacket with the patches on the elbows. and a pipe. so everyone will know how smrt you are.

  10. maybe a beard too.

  11. Diana says:

    … and the glasses. Don’t forget the glasses.

  12. Karl says:

    A beard?

    HOMOPHOBE!!!

  13. McGehee says:

    I don’t think I’m going to make it.

    Don’t be silly. You are a monument of our times in my eyes. Just because I might wheel around unexpectedly and sucker punch Karl in the balls. That’s performance art, as they say. Any perceived slight on your part is a false perception.

    What I would expect, due to my continued participation here, is to be able to cut in line of those wanting to arm wrestle you, both arms, and to sit by your side when it is announced that during the next song stereo lap dances are being offered at a 2 for 1 price special.

    I might have some free time this summer.

  15. Diana says:

    “sucker punch Karl in the balls.”

    You need to recalibrate your reach.

  16. Ardsgaine says:

    Damn… I’d go, but my heavily modified Delorean is in the garage for repairs. My son dropped one of his plastic dinosaurs into the Mr. Fusion generator, and now it will only jump to the Jurassic period. It could take several months to get it fixed. If we do, you may have seen me there anyway, but I would have been a little bit older than I am now. So if I said anything odd like advising you to shift all your money to gold or to avoid DC in November, please let me know.

  17. After hearing you speak here at the Samsphere in Denver, I want to invite you to participate in our New Media Summit at the Americans for Prosperity “Defending the American Dream” summit in Austin in July. We’ll work to build that Cybercity on the Hill as we bring “classic liberals” together and work on building our rightonline presence on the Internet and the blogosphere. check us out at http://www.buildthedream.com, and stay tuned as we will be posting our Texas summit details on http://www.RightOnLine.com. You have a new reader!

  18. Peggy – Jeff is not here right now. JD, Cowboy: get out of the liquor cabinet. Dan, I dont think Jeff is too hip on jacking the dog up on shrooms. McGehee: put down the gun. Ahhh screw it… Happy: you kill it, you fill it. Hey, who stole my Rosary?

  19. And the beer bong?

  20. Dan Collins says:

    See, Jeff? They like you! They really like you!

  21. Dan – get off the coffee table. Put down that megaphone and stop giving the neighboors “screamin’ Apaches”

  22. JD says:

    Jeff G – I am a little busy playing “spit out the pacifier and then scream like holy hell until Dad puts the pacifier back in place, then repeat” otherwise a good road trip would be in order.

  23. McGehee says:

    McGehee: put down the gun.

    What — I’m just trying to, er, encourage Ardsgaine to get that Mr. Fusion fixed sooner rather than later.

    I’m going to have big bucks riding on the outcome of last year’s World Series.

  24. Ardsgaine says:

    I’m going to have big bucks riding on the outcome of last year’s World Series.

    Hey, I can help you solve all your parents’ issues with self-assertiveness and ambition, completely changing your life and moving you up a few income brackets, but betting on the World Series would be completely unethical.

    And unless you want to see Denver go up like Hiroshima, you need to point that gun towards Texas.

  25. serr8d says:

    Damn. Would’ve been there if Denver were just 900 miles closer.

    But, next month, the NRA Convention in Louisville. I’ve booked that one.

  26. Cowboy says:

    But Enoch, JD is bogartin’ the good tequila, and…

    …HEY, GIVE ME BACK MY CAP GUN, YOU FUCKER!!!

  27. happyfeet says:

    How did your day go? This is a restaurant in Denver I really want to go to but Denver is not in my zone at all usually. South American fusion sort of deal. With coconut milk involved. Are they making video available later of your talk you think? cause I’d watch that.

  28. guinsPen says:

    I’d have been there, but the Rocky Mountain Rocket stopped running in 1966.

  29. serr8d says:

    Here’s a replacement for you Cowboy. Seems the price is right, too.

    That’s probably dated 10 years earlier than the stoppage of the Rocky Mountain Rocket. Given the dialect.

  30. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    “What if I said Dan would be there? Then would you come?

    Thor would”

    Nope, only you (that’s sounds really gay, but it really isn’t NTTAWWT). And if it was about 1,500 miles closer to me.

  31. Ards – dude… stop peeing in the planter, man.

  32. Cowboy says:

    serr8d, thanks for the replacement, but really, dude, take off that Donald Duck mask–YOU’RE FREAKIN’ ME OUT!

  33. Cowboy says:

    Jeff:

    Denver aint your kinda place.

    [Holy crap, their ball games last for seven hours! What are you thinking, man?]

  34. Ardsgaine says:

    Ards – dude… stop peeing in the planter, man.

    … that what that is? what’s it doing outside?

  35. Cowboy says:

    Enoch!

    I just walked by the study and Karl is sticking his head in the aquarium, trying to bite one of the phirranas!

    And, of course, thor is dry-humping his leg again. What’s worse is I think he has your rosary.

    I’d wash it before using it again if I were you.

  36. Cowboy says:

    I gotta get out of here before the cops come, or Jeff returns.

    See you folks tomorrow.

  37. McGehee says:

    What I think this place needs, is a huge gaping hole in the kitchen floor.

    That’ll give it that “just like home” feeling. Or at least, that “just like Jeff’s old place just before we dropped a refrigerator on his landlord” feeling.

    Good times, good times.

  38. happyfeet says:

    Here is teh Jeff!!! This is very exciting I think. You have to scroll down to the one what has no hair. That’s Jeff. Here is a picture.

  39. happyfeet says:

    He praises a lot the guest bloggers. You can really feel the love.

  40. happyfeet says:

    He says he appreciates a lot the commenter people too cause of they are loyal and make good contributions. And also he doesn’t like McCain.

  41. happyfeet says:

    There’s a Ron Paul nutcase what pops up in the Q&A video. It’s kind of embarrassing to watch that part. Jeff is very straightforward about how he’s not a Ron Paul guy no thank you. What a stupid question really.

  42. happyfeet says:

    No for real y’all should watch it though cause he has a lot of gravitas. I think it’s a lot the haircut. That and he doesn’t smile at all.

  43. Jeff Goldstein on Reader Loyalty

    Jeff Goldstein, of Protein Wisdom blog, spoke at some kind of panel thingie about blogging today, and via a comment by Happyfeet there's a link to some video of the panel thingie. One of the things Jeff talked about was commenters and the way he h…

    Q. […..] …this man, he’s a medical doctor, whose delivered 400-million babies, and almost as many sloths, but it’s not about him, this great man, Ron Paul, nay, for me its about his Revolution, it’s what’s captured my spirit…

    (What Thor Was Thinking) Ron Paul? Isn’t he still shackled away in Jimmy Carter’s car’s trunk? And all the hopping Ron Paul freaks, I didn’t think there was enough DNA left for scientists to properly study. I thought, or was it just a dream, that space aliens captured each of one of them and removed their faces and hands before burying them very near the earth’s core.

    Goldstein looks thoughtful, yet meaner than a prison librarian collecting overdue books.

  45. Dammit – someone clean up the cans, do the dishes, let the cat out of the dryer, and get that “My Girl Sally” and her inflatable sheep outta here. Pronto. Jeff will be here any minute.

    Cowboy – pls see Ards makes it home safely.

    McGeHee – Help me with this tarp. Maybe Jeff won’t notice the big gaping friggin hole in the floor. Not taking the fall fer that one… no way.

  46. serr8d says:

    Great presentation. Did anyone else catch Jeff giving the Paulbot a couple quick bozo waves?

    Jeff’s got that Vin Diesel look going. Got Charger?

  47. CraigC says:

    Please come to Denver. I get it. I get jokes.

    “Jeff Goldstein, national blogger,” eh? Then why would we have to go to Denver? Huh? Huh?

  48. […] of Protein Wisdom blog, spoke at some kind of panel thingie about blogging today, and via a comment by Happyfeet there’s a link to some video of the panel […]

  49. McGehee says:

    delivered 400-million babies, and almost as many sloths

    The sloths don’t impress me so much as the orangutans and breakfast cereals.

  50. McGehee says:

    And maybe the fruit bats. That would explain a lot, the fruit bats.

  51. McGehee says:

    And the fruit bats. That would explain a lot, the fruit bats.

  52. McGehee says:

    And the fruit bats. That would explain a lot, the fruit bats.

    I’m going to keep posting this hilarious comment until I see WordPress publish it!

  53. McGehee – happened to me a couple nights ago… as a cult, we should take these glitches as rites of passage.

  54. Jeff G. says:

    You can’t really see my guns in those pics. Shame. I work out.

  55. happyfeet says:

    You could tell you had some delts though, and that guy next to you helped a lot.

  56. serr8d says:

    ‘That guy next to Jeff’ had a pietistic fascination for a spot near the top of Jeff’s noggin. Or so it seems from the photo.

  57. McGehee says:

    WordPress can be a lot like Simon Cowell sometimes.
