Hairrison pictures

[drscott]

excessor did a fine job of documenting our brief visit to the world of Hairrison, so I'll just add a few thoughts and pictures. Everyone involved should be congratulated for putting on a fine street fair. pyrogeoff looked frazzled, but bigreddee had recovered from an earlier swoon and looked cool and collected. I want some of what he's having -- I was overwhelmed after a few hours.

The host hotel courtyard was a scene out of Ft. Lauderdale Spring Break, but instead of railings full of high school jocks, we had middle-aged hairy men looking down on us. It was a good spot to stay put and let others pass by, because bottlenecks (especially in front of the beer sales booth on the street) took many minutes to get through. I eventually took my shirt off, though I am by no stretch of the imagination hairy enough to qualify, but the sun felt good and the protected courtyard kept the stiff wind off us.

So here's my pictures. I didn't take very many:


excessor



nanocub and Warren



Pocket bear Jim



animbear and redbeardedblond



The inestimable rootbeer1 and qbear

Mmmm... Yum, yum. Nice pics of woofy men. I'll take excessor please. He's adorable.

Should try to get to know rootbear1 and qbear.

Hairy or not, you are definately worth it. Not all hairy guys make the grade you know.

Those are fun pictures! With all the Hairrison photos out, perhaps I can find one to make an LJ icon in which I'm smiling.

The pic of you at the top of this stack will work ;-)

Wow...cool, calm and collected??? I must have been having a good 5 minutes when we saw each other! I tried to remain as calm as possible, but I was running around quite a bit trying to look like I wasn't!

1) Yes, he is.
2) He's a promiscuous snuggler. Be sure to get some when you're here. :)
3) Yes, he is. Another square dance attraction.
4) Animbear and redbeardedblond are way too pretty to be legal. And fun, too!
5) Yuppers.

Now you need to add yourself to the picture.

Your "I'm keeping it all together" act was very successful. I assumed drugs were involved... :-)

But seriously, your efforts were a big part of the event's success, and your capacity to keep going when it must have been tempting to sneak off for some R&R is admirable. Thanks for making a wonderful party for people.

And that handsome Fred character is lucky.

He's spoken for, but not averse to outside interests. His partner is semi-famous in the software community as one of the designers of the java bytecodes, and of a public-domain Postscript.

Well, I must admit, Claratin D single-handedly saved my ass on Friday and Saturday...by Sunday, I think that mid-way through the day, there were so few problems left to have that I was able to relax a little bit more. I had approximately 5 drinks over the weekend (3 beers Thursday night, about a 1/4th of a cup of beer Friday night, and one delicious Kahlua/Bailey's laced coffee Sunday morning as we set up, while glovercom nursed his Bloody Mary. But other than that, I was running on pure adrenaline.

And thank you...I think I'm an extremely lucky guy to have Fred.

Nice pics! You have an eye for fine bear.
Next time I'll push my way thru the crowd and say hi!

Relaxing there in the sun by the pool with you guys was I think my favorite part of the weekend.

You were right next to us and you didn't say hi to dr_scott? I would have introduced you!
