So Chaconne may have figured out one way to get a DDN Eye...He went to lunch with a Mod AND had the Mod take his Salute photo. The Mod is, of course, Maggie, aka Hylndlas.

It was "Arts and Crafts" time and DDN Salute time at the Mall. Maggie and Jon met for Starbucks and lunch. She took his Salute Photo.

So the photos here are Hylndlas's photo of Chaconne after they sat down and did the salute sign. In keeping with Jon's interests, the ruled paper requirement in this case was music paper. Maggie witnessed him writing it out.

The next photo is of Hylndlas, taken by Chaconne...fair's fair.

The shot of the two of them together was taken by that noted photographer...er...well, some guy who was sitting next to them at Starbucks . He didn't do a bad job actually once we showed him where the button was on the camera.

They jawed and chawed for two solid hours over lunch and coffee/dessert.

So contrary to rumor, Chaconne isn't some scrawny bald toothless 95 year old who pokes out his bon mots whilst sitting naked at a computer (he really has to get dressed, his computer room has some very big windows and a big sliding glass door in it.)

It was a delightful meeting, I hope to have more of them and I hope to meet other DDNers in person.
