It all started seven years ago with this very simple invitation. A lot has changed since then, only two of the “First Ones” are still blogging and they have moved on to Ottawa or Internet stardom. Nevertheless, Yulblog has grown and even now it is still evolving.

Yesterday’s get-together started very early, at 5 PM, with book releases by three of our own and by 8 PM it slowly morphed into our seventh anniversary party. The venue was certainly original, with a nice view into the Belle Gueules bottling factory, but tho whole thing kinda felt like a wedding reception where you don’t know half the people in the room.

Although the party was well attended, I only made a half-asses effort into creating a list of participant…ok, maybe a quarter-asses effort. The paucity of the list was compounded by the fact that we had to split way too early, Friday night and under-16 teenagers meant that I had to play my own version of “Un Taxi la nuit”. If you come back later, the list will certainly have grown; Jean-Luc and Christelle had promised to keep gathering names.

The question of the night was: If you ever wrote a book, what would be its title? We’ll start, of course, with the stars of the night:

Caroline: Chroniques d’une mere indigne.
Sof: Lucie le chien
Pierre-Leon: Un taxi la nuit

Moukmouk: Histoire du nord
Marie & Michael: Envolez-moi
Johanne: Je suis la parce que Vanou aimerait y etre
Eric D.: C’est hipplocampe. Sinon c’est juste pas drole
Debbie: My life’s design
Francois: L’histoire d”une famille mafieuse racontee par le chat de la famille, Fageoli
Benji: Y’en aura pour tout le monde
Josh: Comment je suis redevenu Dieu
Artemisi: Reseau-Patate, ca marche pas; mais les blogs oui
Stephane: Si j’etais Mario Dumont
Sylvain: Blog Dinosaur?
miss-lelektik (bad address): De l’autre cote du miroir
Jean-Luc: Que?
Sandra: Fuego est en feu
Laurent: Nuit noire sur un feuille blanche
And me: Last of the Mohitos
