Raffi Cubed

Such a great Yerevan night... Started early as we gathered to see our friend (Barsga-Hay from LA) become the Swedish Consul to Armenia. Had a bite at the Marriot Cafe which has the most expensive drinks in Yerevan ($2 for a beer!). Headed to Cactus to "watch the world cup games" and meet some others (I still have no idea who played, nor do I care) and have some drinks. Around about midnight, who should happen to walk up but Raffi Meneshian and Natasha! So what with me and Raffi Niziblian there already (not to mention Arsineh), we had all three Raffi loggers at one table... I don't remember that ever happening before. There was also a new logger (Amerigatsi) there who is yet to dive into writing, but said that would change soon. It was a good time and it just occurred to me it would be fun to have a get together with all the others writing here while Raffi's in town, since we discussed most of them anyway...

I should also welcome Jilda (from France) on the Diaspora blog as well as two new bloggers, Mariam and Aram on the Local blog. It's great to have more contributors on those pages and I'd be interested in having even more bloggers...

Live is so hard. Raffi, share with everyone what you did all day today... fine, what WE did all day today (though you should mention the presence of my laptop and focus on work!)

i'm a "barsgahay" myself, and i am absolutely opposed to use of this term for many reasons...
