LJ Name

And time for a quiz of sorts, what do the folks mentioned here all have in common? I'll give a button (either Toyboat or one of mine) to the first 3 people who get it right. Comments are screened.

edit And yes I am fully aware that they are all on my friends list ...
edit too Two people have gotten it right.

Well, all of them are filkers or musicians of one sort or another. I'm not sure if there's a narrower thing than that though...

I'm Sorry

[ericcoleman]

That is not correct, a couple of them are not musicians, although many of them are.

[barondave.livejournal.com]

Um... they're all on your flist?

I think I only know two of these, so this wimpy answer will have to suffice.

well of course

[ericcoleman]

Otherwise they wouldn't be in the meme ... but no, that is not the answer

[awfulhorrid.livejournal.com]

They're all either filkers or are connected with the filk community, they're all in your LJ friends list, they're all fen, they all consume food and liquids in order to survive ...

Am I getting close here?

No ...

[ericcoleman]

Not really ...

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

they were all at archon?

You babe you !!!

[ericcoleman]

First one to get it right ...

[controuble.livejournal.com]

They're all in your friend list - that's the way these 'quiz' memes work.

See my comment

[ericcoleman]

in the post edit above ...

[spiritdancer]

Hrm - I'm guessing it's con and band related. All will be at OVFF and/or Windycon? (or, alternatively, all were at Archon)

Indeed

[ericcoleman]

All of them were at Archon ... you are the second person to get it right ...

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

they were all at the toyboat show at archon?

HEY !!!

[ericcoleman]

You already got it right ... quit guessing !!!

And at least one of them were not at the Toyboat show ...

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

oh, they were all at your final solo show at archon?

You silly person you !!!

[ericcoleman]

YOU GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME !!!

now you're just trying to annoy me

And no, several of them were not at the solo show

[jerusha.livejournal.com]

1) People you might see/have seen at conventions
2) People who live in the midwest

BTW, your last edit horked your HTML. Please to fix?

Ummm

[ericcoleman]

I might have, they may ... but no ...

YOU should be able to get this right ...

Re: Ummm

[jerusha.livejournal.com]

Now that I know the answer...

Why should I have been able to get this right? *I* wasn't at Archon, and I don't know some of the people on the list, so how I could specifically have known they were at Archon with you I just don't know.

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

i'm tired of guessing. how much are the buttons? i'd like to buy one.

Fine

[ericcoleman]

They are 500 dollars each ... I'd take that in trade

::ducking::

[wwetuesday.livejournal.com]

they're all in some way muscially inclined?

Hmmm ...

[ericcoleman]

No, cause my private LJ is on this list ...

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

As Cliff Clavin would say, none of them have been in my kitchen.*

*Actually, not true. janmagic may have been in my kitchen.

[ericcoleman]

It's wrong then, innit it?

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

HAA!!!! my lj responses aren't sent to my work email, and you screened your responses so i can't see them. i just checked my home email, so i guess i'll stop guessing. *grin*

[ericcoleman]

HA ... and here I thought you were messing with me ...

[jerusha.livejournal.com]

People you've performed in front of live? (I don't know all these people, at least not by handle)
Possibly "people you've performed with"? Although I think gabrielg is pushing the envelope a bit, his devoted efforts to join the band at your last rehearsal to the contrary.
People you've roomed with at conventions?

PS - unless you want Toyboat to be a trio, you really should stop mike46 from draining anach's socks. It can't be good for him...

[ericcoleman]

One of them I have never performed in front of live ... I've been him, but never in front. I've only performed with three of these, the guys in Toyboat, although I have been on a Luke CD. I have roomed with 5 of these folks. And I have no control on what Mike does ... you should know this.

And, Gabriel was onstage with us at Archon, rocking the washboard.

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

Okay, now i'm bored at work, so i'm just messing with you.

They're all people with a livejournal.

[pooh27bear.livejournal.com]

Highest amount of votes on your "Important" votes.

Nope

[ericcoleman]

As a matter of fact, I just met two of these folks at Archon ...

[pooh27bear.livejournal.com]

People you first met at a Con

[ericcoleman]

Nainian is my eldest son ... I first met him at a hospital

[sciffy-circo.livejournal.com]

Um... they are all people you have met personally, at a con? I'd also guess all filkers and/or dementia fans.

[khadagan.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, they're all sci-fi con goers, though I don't know if all of them were at Archon.

[ericcoleman]

That second part doesn't QUITE count as a guess, you want to try again?

[pooh27bear.livejournal.com]

They are all younger than you.

[ericcoleman]

There are a couple of them who are even older than I am ... but I shall not mention them by name

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

So does this mean the guessing is over?

Ahem

[ericcoleman]

Don't make me come over there ...

Re: Ahem

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

HEE!!! You love me!!! :)
