AAC PICTURES #2: BASTARD NATIONALS AND FRIENDS OF BASTARDS

Bastardette attended the American Adoption Congress conference outside of Boston, March 7-11. I’ve already posted a few pictures of Bastard Nationals with DMC, but here are some shots taken at the Bastard Nation book table. I posed a lot of people next to one of our Spermies–like Niagara Falls.

I was sure I had a picture of blogger FauxClaud, but it didn’t show up on the disk. I’ve ID’d all but a couple people whose names escape me at the moment. I’m working on it and will add them when I’ve got them. I can’t link to CUB–I get a weird message from Blogger about it, and I have no idea what it means–but you can link to CUB from the sidebar on the right. In the meantime….
