Yeah, I read these DMs this morning and laughed my ass off--that's all we can do, right? Anyway, I say keep using brightkite. I know I will. And maybe one day we can laugh at the whole thing together over an IPA (which happens to be my favorite brew, by the way), and get to talking shop. I'll have to publish an update to this posting soon... Thanks for sharing, brotha. Yeah, I read these DMs this morning and laughed my ass off–that’s all we can do, right?

WTF i am thinking. "stupid" then you have that chick jumping on u in the car, with staged making out... then u sit in the distance chatting with them. i am thinking u r an asshole at that point :) paying my beer ($7, now i am mad at them too) walking home.analyzing: funny yes, awkward - absolutely. would i do it again - probably not. thx, at least, that no names mentioned in your blog post.. <strong>Summary:</strong> Your research sucked. I was unsure about you also, but what bad could happen. If you turned out to be a creep I would just say "adios, I need to go home, now". I didn't use Bright Kyte much, but this incident completely ruined it for me. I am not using that thing again.
