Chicago Monsters

This is how much of a nerd I am; I've posted before about the website I check many times a day Videogum. Well last night the website had their official 2nd Birthday party in Brooklyn. Turns out there was a handful of us commenters that live in Chicago so we had our own meet-up last night. I am not going to lie, it felt like I was meeting someone from match.com/going speedating and I didn't know what to expect. We got to the bar and I forced Mickey to awkwardly go over to a table we suspected to most likely be "monsters". We picked correctly and had a great night, everyone was just as smart and witty as their avatars. There was plenty of talk of Topher, Steve Winwood, BNPGs, and enough Boy Meet's World Trivia to last a lifetime. Here's a few pics from the night and the group shot we obviously sent to Gabe. 
Happy Birthday from the mid-west!

Topher and ?uestlove were there too!
and still checking Videogum via phones. 

It was nice to meet you all!

Hi Erin -- it was great meeting everyone, even though I am older than all of you combined (in addition to my already being an old soul).
