22. Urban (Svetlobne iluzije)
23. Ula (Ulala`s diary) – award for best newcomer of 2006
and yours truly.
The award ceremony stared after the intial first half hour of arrivals. Our designated driver, Matej, who drove BeeBee, Baya and me to the meet was punctual and professional. I recommend his service!
The crowd got bigger and bigger, with bloggers from all over the world dropping by. We had Americans, Irish, Argentinians and a whole lot of Slovenes coming to the party. Some knew some from previous encounters but the majority was there for the first time. And I cannot imagine a better blogging baptism.
The place was spot on (Good call, Baya!) and the organisation ran without a hitch. The awards were given, not all of the awardees attended, so we re-elected a few of them. Congrats to all!
People even listened to my speech, I hope I wasn`t too boring or dull and! nobody punched me in the face, so that`s always a good thing. And there was so many photographers present, it felt like the Oscars ceremony. Now…where are those photos? 😀
We had special guests coming from Mladina, doing an article on us. I hope it`ll spread the word and legitimize the si.blogs meet.
Compared to previous si.blog meets, this one was an improvement in many ways. Excellent location, a terrific company and a splendid karma. What more could one want? Thanks everyone for coming and I hope you share at least some of my enthusiasm.
There is one thing…name-tags. Will remeber for next year. There IS going to be a next year, righ?!
what about this year 🙂 without tags 👿
btw.. happy birthday!!!!
I would like to make it known that the statement saying I
“was punctual and professional”
IS NOT true
and
IS nothing but a lie, misinformation, media construct, wrongful accusation, insinuation, slander, banter, joke, tease, attack at my good name, insult, untruth, dust-in-your-eyes, perversion, trick, malicious implication, prank and deceit. And, like, bad, mkay.
Except if you count being half an hour late and drunkenly yelling “Get the fuck in, you cargo shit!”…
Oj!
Moj ime je Carlos, ni “Los Carlos”, jaz nisem los, pa človek!!!
Blame it on Michael, he wrote my name on that list… always blame the foreigners, jupi!!!
LP,
Carlitos

First: Los Carlos provoked me.
Second: I’ve heard unconfirmed rumors that Los Carlos is, himself, a “foreigner.”
Third: Do we really know that he is “human” and not a plural thing? How can we know for sure? Does he have the appropriate certificate from the občina?
First: actually it was that crappy Union beer you drank.
Second: proof, not rumor. Dokazalo! Jaz nisem tujc! Sem prav primwrc!
Third: actually I meant that I’m not a “los”… which means “moose” in your imperialistic, nato-slave, *FOREIGN* language.
Fourth: there’s no 4.
