Hiiiii Everybody.

[threemonkeys]

There are new people on my flist. Welcome welcome welcome. I can even figure out who half of you are - even though I probably met most of you within the last few days. I lost count of the number of times I introduced myself twice - by name and then again as threemonkeys so folk could recognise me (or not). Perhaps there is something to this literal name approach.

I should add myself to your flist :).

It was great to seee you again.

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

As always, a pleasure. As always we don't have long enough to chat.

[gillpolack.livejournal.com]

There's never enough time, is there? I always look for you for one more conversation and find that the con has ended. We need more hours in a convention day.

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

That is why there is always another convention.

[editormum.livejournal.com]

Glad you're home safe. I know we probably won't see you again for a while now, given that your con clashes with Swancon next year (watch out for us over there in 2009 though!), but it was great to see you. I even knew who you were with BOTH names! :)

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

I was wonderful to catch up with you again. Conflux is still in my sights if I can get a job soon enough to make some money.

[gillpolack.livejournal.com]

I hope you do!

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

I should know within the next 2 or 3 weeks whether it is going to be feasible.

[editormum.livejournal.com]

Alas, Conflux will be a bit beyond me, unless I receive some unforeseen financial windfall between now and then! If I wasn't so desirous of going to Swancon, it might have been doable, but I've got Swancon firmly in my sights now, and there's not much that can shake that conviction!

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

That's too bad. But on the plus side, you now have no excuse not to target Conscription in '09.

[gillpolack.livejournal.com]

'three' and 'monkeys'? :)

[seraphs-folly.livejournal.com]

In case you weren't certain I'm Sally partner of Mundens. :)

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

Now you, I could never mistake for anybody else ;-)

[seraphs-folly.livejournal.com]

aaaw *melt* *hugs*

thanks! :)

Did ya check out my photos? Didya? I took a neat one of you and your daikaiju blue dinosaur cocktail. All over on my blog.

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

Did I? Did I!!! Of course my main motivation was to see how awful I looked. :-}

[catsparx.livejournal.com]

But the photo is so cute!

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

Very cute dinosaur anyway. Of course at that point I hadn't gone into complete heat meltdown - what a way to launch a book!

[catsparx.livejournal.com]

Gah! bastards. Although the room party shutdown did cleverly coincide with the booze running out.

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

In retrospect you could consider the shutdown as a good thing. Having your party interrupted like that significantly adds to the legend. People forget ordinary parties but they won't forget this one in a hurry

[catsparx.livejournal.com]

that was one of many legendary events that took place that weekend.

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

Certainly there were, but in 10 years time I bet there are going to be more people saying "I was at the Daikaiju 2 launch" than could have fitted in 10 rooms and those other events will have faded.

Actually, thinking about it, that is about how many there were in the room.

[catsparx.livejournal.com]

REMEMBER, YOU GOTTA EMBELLISH THE STORY EVERY TIME YOU TELL IT.

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

Gotcha - Monster book = monster story (20 times as many people...)

[catsparx.livejournal.com]

and don't forget those monster bastard hotel staffers...

[markdeniz.livejournal.com]

Aha, Cat, you're great, I've managed to see pics of half of my flist due to your last two con slideshows!

Yay!

Mr. Monkey, you look nothing like I expected (as I did indeed expect a guy with long hair knocking a nail into his ear)!

*winks*

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

For what its worth, I was after an icon in a hurry when I set up this journal, so I clipped it from this Nick Kim cartoon (http://nearingzero.net/screen_res/nz005.jpg). I thought it captured my dazed approach to the world.

[markdeniz.livejournal.com]

Ah it's the beginnings of a 'T', now how about that?

*chuckles*

I always saw that as a sharp implement!

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

I was going to edit that out and then I realised that it looked a little bit like somebody was trying to (or had already) suck my brains out. It seemed to fit my mood so I left it in.

[markdeniz.livejournal.com]

It most definitely fooled me there so it did!

Good choice sir!

[markdeniz.livejournal.com]

In terms of the literal name approach I have to say that it was much easier the other day to give my blog name over the phone as Mark Deniz at live journal instead of Chuckle Monkey at live journal, especially as it was business related.

I like the imagery though:

"Hello I'm Mark"
"Nice to meeet you Mark, I'm Three Monkeys"

*chuckles*

Hope we do get to meet at Conflux! (even just for that moment... )

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

Ah, just call me "three".

[dalmeny]

Hi there. Glad to be here. Let me know if you haven't figured out who I am.

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

Welcome. A quick look at your posts including the one entitled "GUFF report" rather gave your identity away ;-)

[dalmeny]

I thought it might :)

[fishlifter.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming our location and double identity on our profile page will make it obvious who we are if necessary, but let us know if you need any more clues! Oh, and if you change your mind about wanting a copy of our fanzine, let us know your postal address. (And don't forget: Tim Powers will be a guest at the 2009 British Eastercon...)

Claire

[threemonkeys.livejournal.com]

Yes, there was even a conversation about your double identity. I also remember the Tim Powers conversation - it eats my brain. I don't actually think there was ever a discussion about your fanzine however, because in truth I am interested. Are there any key details I should know?
