I went to brunch with some of my fellow Bear-Flaggers, and a good time was had by all. We're 50% lawyers, but no one got sued or anything. Click on the extended entry doodad below to see the pictures.
Get your Tim Geithner TAX CHEAT! stamps!
I apologize for the blurriness of some of these... the lighting was really awkward. (Note to self: "awkward" would be a good hangman word.) I hope I get everyone's names right....
Patrick's (Patterico) shoulder, Juliette (Baldilocks), Little Miss Attila, 
Here's more of the side of Patrick's head. Juliette is still explaining something important.
Your brilliant humble host.
Patrick, Scott, and Justin, co-blogger at CalBlog.
Justene from CalBlog and the effusive Madeleine (who agrees with me, demonstrating her intelligence).
Doug and Jeff (Xrlq) play show-and-tell.
Ninjababe and Baldilocks.
Maddy instructs everyone to take her picture.
Miss Attila and Justene.
Ninjababe and Ith from Absinthe and Cookies who drove up down from San Diego Monterey.
Jeff, Maddy -- ruining my otherwise-candid shots -- and Justene telling her daughter how to sit in a chair.
Finally, another shot of the side of Patrick's head brings us full-circle, along with Justin, and Juliette.

Sorry I missed it. Looks like I WILL be able to make the lunch on Friday in Pasadena though...
Heh. A lotta shots of the side and back of my head. Perfect, as far I am concerned.
Great time. Good to meet you. Hope we can do it again.
Good shots, Mike. I enjoyed meeting you. We must continue these get togethers.
Hm. Thought I *was* a full-fledged BFL member. Probably missed some sort of secret initiation ritual the must happen by the light of a full moon . . . and/or, you're making a joke about my height (lack thereof).
It was a fun brunch. We need to do these things more often.
LMA: Are you?! My mistake, I don't have you on my blogroll so I figured you weren't.
Note to self: "awkward" would be a good hangman word
rhythm is an even better one!
Little Miss Attila is in. Although it's always possible someone started the initiation ritual and didn't tell me either.
Maddy is not in.
Looks like y'all had fun.
Next time ...
Hey! Let me know when the next one is. My whole domain was bollocks this week, so I'm sure my personal invitation bounced.
Sorry I missed it -- very busy with trial and depos and all that nonsense -- I'll get down there for one soon enough.
Wrong direction :) We came from Monterey. We came, we ate, we went to Disneyland.
Cobb, personal invitations are on the bear-flag mailing list and on various bear flag sites (like mine and xrlq). If neither of those work for you (and I don't need to know why), email me and we'll work something out. However, there was discussion of you, your site crash, and your absence at the brunch.
Ith: Fixed.
Was I broken?
(yes, I'm in a goofy mood this afternoon. I blame it on lack of sleep this weekend)
It was great meeting everyone. By the end of the festivites, I actually knew who everyone was. A true accomplishment for me!
Whoa... I've never seen Ith and Nin look so calm, serene and, um, harmless.... Could I ever tell you guys some stories.... (snicker)
Ignore the Cranky woman behind the curtain.
