Just found this review and reading it makes me all the more sorry I missed meeting you at the NYC Meet on 2003.

However, that will be remediated this weekend.

back when we were organizing our own meet-n-greets I wrote and begged them for something, anything, as a give away. They wouldn't send even a set of those infernal Epi dolls as a door prize let alone pay for the food.

The last one we organized in NY cost us each over (the organizers, we didn't charge anyone else) $200 to cover the place, food and beverages and we had over 20 people there.

The one I went to in Dayton, organized by Bryan_Carey, I ended up ordering Frisbees from Epinions Cafe Press store because they wouldn't send so much as a Tee-shirt and now look - you guys are friggin spoiled. I'm gonna go off and pout somewhere.

Glad it was a good time

Actually maybe we should do something at someone's house for like an Epinions Weekend Getaway or something. I swear I won't get plastered and upchuck again!

I vote Doc locks like, 3-10 of us in a basement for a week, and then we all write reviews on how freaking insane of a captor she is.

Sorry, Doc. Obligations to the wife have to take precedence. :-)

Or, as she puts it, "he has to sleep sometime..."

I just know that you have a good time wherever you go

What is the point of life, if not to have fun? It's all about the fun, man.

Not a firm commitment (obviously it would depend on when it is), but it's definitely a commitment to coming if I have no other obligations.

Heh. He said firm.

Listen here. There are no obligations more important than me.

Wish I coulda been there....maybe one day it will be back in Orlando....


Well, if ever it is I will be there, if at all possible ,even if I just got back from there..

I still think Miami would be ideal for a winter meet when everyone if freezing their tooties off..
:)
Enjoyed reading this as usual and happy to see you going to all the M&G's...your reports are almost as good as being there...LOL

Seattle would be good...

Dave darlin.. is that a commitment if it's Seattle..?

I swear I won't get plastered and upchuck again!

Yeah yeah sure sure Mike... You can upchuck all over my house any ol' time.. but next time yer cleaning it up! You slid last time cuz it was yer birthday.. heh.

Just keep hopping from coast to coast.
That sounds like a good way to treat us 'fly-over' members.


Which is why I've been pushing the mid-west. Lot's of central folks beginning to feel slighted a bit. heh. I'm tryin Tom!

She decided we could just hop in the car and drive on up there...I thought she crazy. Drive to Boston from Alabama for a 4 hour M&G?

Hey.. I did it! You should have to! It was a great time. but yeah.. I'm positive Atlanta is on the radar for a future meet...and I will be at that one positively.

Did you want him to have a hairy chest or not?

I am not divulging which of us is on which side of this issue, it may skew the results. LOL

Wish I coulda been there....maybe one day it will be back in Orlando....

I'm sure it will be..and I'll hit that one too. ;)

I'm glad you gals were able to make this thang and to see Mike's coolass apartment

Oh. My gawd. I can't believe he doesn't realize what he has. That apartment is the bomb.

Should I make some kind of perverted sarcastic remark here or let it slide???

I knew I could count on you to catch that.. muwahahahaaa

And yeah.. Dallas is one I've pushing for. I'd love an excuse to go home! There is tons to do there too for folks to make a weekend out of it.

we have a bet going on whether he has a hairy chest or not

Did you want him to have a hairy chest or not? Since he was wearing a white shirt, we should have just dumped a glass of water down his front. Mystery solved.

It was awesome to meet you! You are super-cool.

Hey Doc (Reply to this comment)

I'm glad yall had such fun! (Not really, I'm just saying what I'm supposed to say.....I'm jealous because I wasn't there!) :-)

I was telling a friend of mine about Epinions and how they have M&G's and she said "I'll go with you to Boston! That would be fun!" She decided we could just hop in the car and drive on up there...I thought she crazy. Drive to Boston from Alabama for a 4 hour M&G? Anyway, I told her that Epi would ONEDAY have another M&G down south.

So I'm waiting to see it on their agenda so all you yanks can come down here. :-)

Fun review to read!
