Disappointing...
Where was everybody? In the end, the entire attendance list of Saturday's Seattle Kossack gathering was:
The first pair above are spouses; so too are the last pair. That might have made me something of a fifth wheel, but it didn't feel that way. While the conversation flowed wide and deep, we all felt attendance by more of our fellow Kossacks would have made it far, far better. A few of them, e.g. mcjoan and switzerblog, had valid excuses for their absence. As for the others, especially those who RSVPed on the Seattle Kossack meetup site, well, as noted above, I'm disappointed.
No one brought a camera on Saturday, so we have no pictures to display. However, I did show the others at our soiree a slideshow of my recent trip to foreign climes. They appeared to find my photos interesting. Too bad the rest of the Seattle Kossacks won't get to see them.
Next time, perhaps we need to take a collection to buy plane tickets for Plutonium Page and Frank. They always seem to draw a crowd.
