So, let’s see… where were we… oh, right, the Doobster and I, sneaking into a closed and deserted ballroom on the very top floor of the Sir Francis Drake hotel in San Francisco… which according to a sign we saw, hosted a ‘real drag’ brunch on Sundays, which, most other places, could just mean that if you were feeling sad on Sunday you could go and have some mimosas or champagne at a brunch, but this being San Francisco, I have a feeling the ‘drag’ part means something altogether different… not that there is anything wrong with that…
Hey, that ain’t bad for a selfie.
That up there is the Doobster himself, looking out over my city by the bay. It is ironic that he just up and moved there not long ago and he gets to stay, and I am stuck in San Diego missing it every day.
Eventually, we made it back down to the lobby, where I took this picture of a larger-than-life-sized statue of a British Beefeater over the bar…
I know, it looks like a gummy statue… and no, I do not know what it was made of… but that is just the way of the Sir Francis Drake hotel…
As we were leaving we took a selfie of the doorman, who was also dressed like a larger-than-life Beefeater, and then a nice lady asked if we would like her to take a picture of the three of us…
Hey… wait a minute… now that I look at the selfie I took from much closer, I realize why I like that Doobster guy so much…
He looks a lot like me!
Pouring My Art Out 
I see you got a little sloppy on those last couple of pics with the Doobster – sizing was all wrong!
It’s just for giggles. I wasn’t planning on putting them in an art gallery.
Enjoying all the comments throughout y’all’s adventures, too!!
I have the best commenters in the world
He does look like you… this is both weird and totally hot. I don’t know where that last part came from. It may have been triggered by the liberal use of the word “beefeater” in this post. I’m still reeling.
Cool posts, guys.
sigh
That comment was da bomb, holmes.
or is it ‘houlmes’
Ha ha WordPress Meetups, Yipppeeee!
reality and non reality meet
I know a lot of people who are more real online than off, they seem to reveal more of the heart of who they are on their blog than they do to the general public.
I am full of heart in both places…
Well, that last picture certainly took care of any wish I had of meeting you – I have no desire of seeing your face on my body [shudder]. 🙂
Regardless, I enjoyed each one of your posts about this historic meeting of the A-list bloggers. I can hardly wait to read Doobster’s version, assuming he’ll be posting one.
well, he did one… mostly made of links to my posts…
Oh, I missed it. I’ll go over to his site and check it out.
Arthur did such a good job of recapping our day, that I didn’t have much to add that could top what he posted….
I tell a good… if rambling… story
might as well
Oh no! Not two of you!
oh yes
I’m running for the hills!
you have hills in Canada????
Some parts for sure.
uh… the bumpy parts???

oh yeah it does
Oh dear Lord Art, you can make a hemlock tree look like you. I think maybe there was an “original” man who looked like you and so all things now are just one photoshop step away. really cool pictures
We did have us a time
Damn, you look better in my hat than I do!
well… yeah… sorry…
I thought that big, red Beefeater statue was a jello mold.
And that is why I had to rush you to the dentist…
So you might want to go check out my blog.
I figured as much
Look Ma, no cavities.
