When you have children too young for school, you can't really stash them and you can't leave the house after 8pm or so.
So you have a half-social life with your childless friends and hope they don't mind that they're always with you, or you make friends with other parents and your kid schedules can line up a little.
I think I met you guys in 2004 or 2005 at Anime Weekend Atlanta... I'm pretty sure I still have a sticker or card or something that you were handing out.
It was shoved in a storage trunk that I was digging into last year, and like any good cleaning day, I put it back where I found it and put the trunk back into the closet.
