Last night was a humble experience for me. Kris had been invited to meet and have dinner with Jonathan Dalton, author of the Dalton’s Arizona Homes, who happened to be in San Diego for a convention. Along with Jonathan, we were joined by Brian Brady from the Mortgage Rates Report, and Jeff Brown (aka the Bawld Guy), whom I had met recently, along with his son, Josh (Bawld Son).
Walking in with Kris and meeting these guys was great, but as I sat there and took in the scene I quickly realized that I was in the presence of some of the best real estate bloggers/writers in the country. Talk about intimidating. Although I was made to feel welcome, I couldn’t help but think I was totally out of my league. Being Kris’ little sidekick is great when it’s just the two of us. She only denigrates me about once a week, which is manageable.
My ace in the hole was that this very literary-endowed group was meeting at a Gaslamp Quarter dive named Dick’s Last Resort. The denigration suffered by all at the hands of our waitress was the great equalizer. As I sat there and looked at our elite group, forced to wear bibs and funny hats (compliments of Dick) with hand written descriptions from our waitress that cannot be repeated, I was just one of the boys. Sadly (for Brian and me), they don’t serve cheeseburgers.

“Sadly (for Brian and me), they don’t serve cheeseburgers.”

Ignore their misplaced NFL loyaty. It was great to finally meet you, Steve.
Our meeting confirmed at least one thought — from now on whenever there’s a gathering including Blog Princess, you must attend. It wouldn’t be the same without you.
Besides, Princess doesn’t have a clue why LT should be running more off left tackle.
So, from now on, if she goes to a blogger to-do, you do too.
Josh, Brian, Jonathan and i insist.
And please, for the love a God, write more.
I’d of gladly worn a stupid hat to get to hang with this group. Deductible or NOT!
Uncle Jack – I would be careful what I wish for! We just might show up in Vegas and bring our hats!
