LOVE IT!!! “New Age” and technology unite. I feel the love already as anticipation builds.

I hear bloggers in Luxemburg are trying to organise a similar event. Hands Across Luxemburg however just doesn’t have the same pizzazz.

Good luck.

One hour left!

By Peter on 07.26.06 5:47 pm

Does it count if you are wireless? I am covering “south” jersey.

By Mike F on 07.26.06 5:54 pm

I’m touching mine, are you touching yours?

By Melissa on 07.26.06 7:00 pm

Totally touching right now.

Okay 10:01, I can let go now. Where’s my anti-bacterial hand sanitizer…

By Dustin on 07.26.06 7:01 pm

Dustin, is that you in New York? It feels as if you are here in California with me! Like an electrical current is being passed into my hand. I can almost hear the street sounds of Manhattan. And I think I hear, it almost sounds like a rodeo… can that be Texas?… three great American States all as one!

By Neil on 07.26.06 7:04 pm

I totally missed it, man! You didn’t say it was going to be TONIGHT! I was putting my kid to bed and I come here to find out the whole thing is over…
*sob*
I thought a memo would be going out or something…

By Sarah on 07.26.06 7:37 pm

By the way, are you the tall geeky kid in that picture up there? Because I would totally believe that.

By Sarah on 07.26.06 7:38 pm

Sarah — while I looked a little like that, that isn’t me. I found it online. I would not have been the type to have participated in this type of event… until now.

And my hand will always be on my monitor for you, Sarah.

By Neil on 07.26.06 7:43 pm

Sonufabitch. I fell asleep on the sofa and missed the moment of virtual togetherness. Damn bronchitis!

Well, I was there in spirit…

By Merujo on 07.26.06 8:42 pm

Doh! I missed it!!

By Kestrel on 07.26.06 8:59 pm

i think i’m falling asleep.

By arkansas connection on 07.26.06 9:33 pm

NOW, i’m going to sleep

So, I go to do a Technorati search, and I see the FEATURED BLOG is Neilocha! What on earth? You are one popular guy.

Way to go!

OMG, OMG!!!  What’s next?

By Rach on 07.26.06 10:52 pm

lance is gay, i’m so surprised!!!!

I caressed my monitor from Austria in a gesture of love, but think I missed the mass orgasm. Ho hum, just one more orgy I arrived too late for.

By emma on 07.27.06 5:04 am

I misread that thinking it said “we beat off gay Lance Bass.” My bass… er, bad.

By Kevin on 07.27.06 6:26 am

Like Lance Bass being gay is news. Duh.

By Non-Highlighted Heather on 07.27.06 6:29 am

I boycotted this because it excluded my region … and because Blogs Across America is less cool than beer.

By Charming, but single on 07.27.06 6:32 am

You’re so popular and powerful. How long did it take to organize the first hands across?

By MARGARET on 07.27.06 6:50 am

I completely missed the previous blog where you explained the “Blog Across America” event. Like a fool I sat with my hand on my monitor at the appointed time, thinking I “felt the love”. I am so gullible. How could you leave out Oregon?! Its official…I am going to run for governor on the platform of Oregon seceding from your “America”. We always felt that we didn’t fit in, this just proves it.

By plain jane on 07.27.06 7:49 am

I always miss my deadlines.

By Blonde Vigilante on 07.27.06 8:04 am

Neil, go look - Lance is gone, and yesterday you were number one in enteryainment blog posts, now you’re number one in Life Blog Posts…

By Rach on 07.27.06 8:16 am

Lance Bass, GAY? Who knew?

By Trix on 07.27.06 8:34 am

This was one of the most amazing events I’ve ever participated in! But I would like to officially state for the record that I was using performance enhancing drugs when I held hands with those other two states. It doesn’t make this victory any less sweet for America, though.

By jenny on 07.27.06 9:19 am

Good luck with that! Even if it doesn’t work, at least you got the publicity. And as you know from living in LA, all publicity is good.

By Paris Parfait on 07.27.06 9:25 am

You know, your post was SO much more interesting than the story about Lance Bass being gay. Thank god they didn’t reprint the one about him wanting to go up in space. Now THERE’S some competition.

By Tara on 07.27.06 10:02 am

I propose you make t-shirts to commemorate the event, with a logo on the front and this triumphant declaration on the back:

WE BEAT LANCE BASS IS GAY!

By Kyle on 07.27.06 11:17 am

*desperately trying to work out time zone differences to touch the blonde’s hand*

By treespotter on 07.27.06 11:25 am

I’ll fondle my monitor in solidarity.

By laurie on 07.27.06 12:12 pm

This is much better than Hands Across America. Computers don’t sweat!

By Sandra on 07.27.06 3:55 pm

ALRIGHT WHOO HOO!!
