Wed 23rd Mar : Nichelle Hunting

As some of you may know, there's a blogger out there in NYCland that goes by the name of Nichelle. By all accounts, she seems to be some 'bon vivant'  - flittering from one party to the next to enjoy cupcakes and kudos.

Now Nichelle has got me in all sorts of trouble: she's got me on stage, she's got me in Gothamist and she's even got the Lady asking, 'Who's that blog woman who emails you?'

The thing is, I have never met her (despite various Dodgeball pings) - but last night....

So, on a whim I went to the NYC Photoblogger of the year type event at the Apple Store. Packed full of folk - a whole mixed lot, those bloggers. All snapping pictures of each other.

Anyway, as I stood at the back on the left and watched these blog-heroes present their work I noticed a familiar face along the far wall. It couldn't be, could it? Oh, my goodness! That might be Nichelle Newsletter! I tried to take a photo, but no joy.

<to be added>

I decided to stop her at the end. Some of my favorite photo-bloggers presented (including Joseph Holmes, Jesse Chan Norris)and as for Youngna - I've seen her around, snapping all the time! And she never took a pic of me, either!!! Anway, the event drew to a close and I popped my head up like a good meercat and where was Nichelle? Gone!

I rushed to the Merc bar - surely she'd be tempted by the Gothamist free drinks. But no, she wasn't there.

I returned home in the sleet and slush and thought that maybe I'll meet her by chance another time.

The Lady and I had a pleasant evening - curry and a movie - The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover - a film about a woman who has an affair with a guy - and then went to bed to sleep.

At 12.45am in the morning I awoke to my phone buzzing : It was one of those Dodgeball messages (how do you stop those things?). It told me Nichelle was out and about somewhere very far north.

I deleted it and the Lady asked - 'who was it?'
'One of those dodgeball thingies from Nichelle.'
'HUH?! Are you having an affair with that girl?!'
'No, it's Nichelle. I've never met her. Honest!'

maybe we should never meet...it would probably be a BIG letdown anyway!

AH! Riiiiiight, she wasn't there at WYSIWYG!

Guy, you still have not met her? Dude, you're hanging out with the wrong people. Why don't you come to our Brown Bloggers Meetup on the 10th? It's at Lava Gina. Check out the info at my blog culturekitchen.

Bring The Lady. I still kind of not believe she exists. And, BTW, you rock as a writer.

Cheers,
