Newsvine Ohio Meet Slide Show; Viners Rock Out

rock stars - saturday nite

Jon/Prompt on drums, Kymlee on vocals

Sunday morning

Saturday afternoon: Courts, Killfile and Brad - one or two in balcony behind them

Kymlee in corner, Myk relaxing with Jon standing, Ryan in the middle, Brad on right and Marilyn standing over him

Adam talks while Stacy rests

After using the scissors to open otter pops Adam waved them around like he was ready to strike someone, in this case probably Jon/Prompt, who he was talking with

Brad, Ryan, Kymlee and Myk in back

Marilyn catches a nap during the party

The gang rocks out

Especially Kym

I had fun photoshopping a few of these (you can easily spot which ones)

I described the events leading up to these photos here.

Photographed are Ryan, Adam, Killfile, Myk and Kymlee

The weekend in a nutshell:
The good news is we had fun.

The bad news is I had - and the doctor just gave me this diagnosis a minute ago – laryngitis. When I said that I'm more often speechless in person than online this is NOT what I meant.

The good news is we drank and the alcohol serves, as usual, as good social lubrication. The bad news is we didn't get drunk enough to drunk dial people (much to the consternation of a few)

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

OK all photos are up. I cropped most and photoshopped a few to add or remove color.

I really need to get rock band (and a console to play it on I guess lol). I was exponentially better at it the second day (the first day it was pretty damn sad hehe), I need to practice up for the next meet! :P

Great photos!

Same here. I've never played it, so was too intimidated... but just wait 'til next time!

Great photos, Scott! Well done.

It should be noted that my facial expression in the 3rd photo is due entirely to Kym's AWESOME 7 layer dip, which happened to be within arm's reach at the time. It was irresistible.

It was quite good and my only complaint about the rock music playing was it made it harder to access the desired dip.

Thanks, Raat.

I decided to combine two things - the fact I feel really out of it this morning post-vinemeet and pre-laryngitis recovery and my promise to write some fiction about House, Monk and David Caruso's annoying CSI character - into one piece. Here it is. I'll process and post the rest of the photos later today before returning to work

I had larynigitis before I even arrived! I kept having to choose whether I was going to answer a question or join a discussion based on how much it might hurt to do so. Then I'd alternate between decongestents and alcohol.:)

Grrrrr, I'm jealous.

You guys looked like you were having overflowing Jacuzzis of fun.
Glad to be able to put people to Vine handles, though.

Rock Band indeed rocks for such a crowd. Such a tool of entertainment is required for the next Vinemeet. :-p

Jack, you were missed. I have a feeling that if Tanya had made it to the meet, there would have been a riot consisting of she, Ryan and me. If you'd have been there...all hell might have broken loose. ;)

So perhaps all things worked for the good.

And you'd have helped us consume more alcohol since, as Calvin correctly predicted, there was much more to drink due to his absence.

OK, it's time to start talking about the Texas vinemeet. I just ordered my flight tickets - i'm arriving Wednesday nite July 16 and flying out Sunday nite the 20th. I plan to attend both the vinemeet and visit my sister and nieces.

Who else is coming? Details are over here.
