At the very least get a layover at O'hare in Chicago. I'd spend those ridiculous cocktail fees for a cold one there between flights. (Even the ridiculous parking fee.) |

Why, feel guilty about meeting up.. It sure doesn't brother me. and I didn't say I couldn't try to make it. I was saying, that not all us can afford it. And If I couldn't make it I love to hear story's about it. Gees, what is wrong with that. |

Hey thought I might throw out a suggestion for those of the board members that might be enrolled in or faculty members of community college's or University's. I found this site that caters to students and faculty members, not only do they offer rates for transportation (i.e. Europasses in Europe can be purchase rather reasonably, plane fares, information on hospices in a number of countries, American rail passes, hotels, travel package deals too). Check it out if you're interested in traveling on your student or faculty status (all you need to do is have a school sponsored email account to prove your eligible): http://www.studentuniverse.com/ ... by the way, regarding Vegas ... try using priceline.com ... did that a couple years ago (before I found the other site) and was able to lock in a really good deal for the MGM Grand at the time. Alternatively you could always choose to stay 'round Fremont Street rather than the strip, as I understand it's an interesting place to visit ... although honestly every time I've gone I "planned on going there" but got caught up in other stuff, like walking way too far. It's amazing how close you might think things are until you start trudging along and figure out that it's a major trek. :rolleyes: |

I make enough money to go to Vegas or Beatlefest in Chicago, but no way can I afford a hotel and air fare to NYC, much as I want to go there. That is a dream of mine--to get back to NYC. I'd probably want to combine it with a Paul concert.

I'd love more than anything to be able to travel to a meet up this year, but I think I'm going to wind up taking care of some personal issues, and won't be able to afford it. I'm going to have to face up to some dental and medical things, just for starters, and those are top priority, right now. Merry

Hey, I'm heading to Charleston, SC in the summer to see my mom. If there's any southerners that want to run into me there or Savhanna, let me know. Any Michagian boardies, PM me and we can set up a play date for downtown! John, I might head out to Chicago this summer too, up for a meet up with a Tigers fan? :lol: Chad, steal away and come up too! I'm doing it this way so that I get everyone on the southeast seaboard and those in the Midwest. Those in the tri-state areas (NY/NJ/CT) I'll get you when I get invtes from family members out there! |

actually.. you can claim your losses on your taxes One of the reasons to sign up for those stupid "casino cards" at the end of they year you can go print out a win/loss report and if your losses are bigger then your wins, there is something you fill out. Nothing I ever have done, but was told about by my tax guy. LOL! Now.. a meet up in China.. that would be amazing!! |

I would be game to have a 'meet up'. I voted Las Vegas, mostly because I want to go there and see "LOVE", but the added attraction of meeting some boardies would be kinda cool. I'm not sure why there seems to be friction associated with this...but then again...there seems to be friction associated with ANY topic.

Well ... if I had an opinion on the matter I'd suggest the Vegas deal too, just 'cause it's closer to where I'm at and I suppose more realistic from my perspective at the moment. I've got a friend that's got some tickets to anywhere in the US that she's been trying to talk me into using with her for a trip to Vegas. The NYC meet-up sounds like a good idea too though ... one of these days, I'd like to head out that way and then do some touristy things up in the DC area to make it complete. Heard that the NE in the fall is glorious with the changing of the leaves ... I'd like a nice visual splash of color personally. For those of you that keep tackling the members that are voicing things about their inability to travel or coordinate ... those abrupt tackles are really more distracting than what any of 'em are saying (IMO). I mean, maybe that only happens when the thread slows down ... when it's growing really quickly it doesn't seem to matter that one post amongst ten says something about being in a financial crunch. I don't think it's necessary to put a spotlight on someone just because they don't know how to word their misgivings without inadvertently hitting a raw nerve with someone that isn't in a financial crunch, or is just being temperamental out of the blue. Hey maybe I'm wrong about all of that, maybe it's just folks trying to Shepard the direction of the thread away from being a rant and rave about being financially strapped or something ... I don't know, it just crossed my mind and I decided to "share it" with you all (now don't tackle me :lol: :lol: :lol: ). |

| BEATNUT | Jan 16 2007, 08:21 PM Post #137 |

OK, i'll have to tackle you. It doesn't matter if the finger points towards me, i'm usually guilty as charged. But let me explain myself because it's valid. The SOS always happened on that 'other' site. Most times when people met up we'd write about it, have a blast telling the story and about 95% always wanted to hear all who showed up and their takes on it. Believe me it was a lot of fun. Then it all stopped and most of those people don't even post anymore. Why? Because it was the 5% who had to throw the wet blanket on the party and they would start in with the comments "Oh they don't want anyone with them cause they're all in a Clique" or I wish I could afford to go but I can't and of course they always had to add the crying/bawling face smiley. So when I see anything that resembles that here, I freakout and just say Thank God I don't organize that stuff anymore, and believe me, we still all get together but no one knows because we don't post about it anymore. Why? Because it was more trouble than it was worth. The last time I posted about a get together was the Loose Moose Toronto Show. So please forgive me if I make these sudden outbursts. I would love to meet up with many of you who i've posted with alot over the years, or who i've spoken to on the phone many times but never met in person, and as much fun as it would be partying with you cornballs, and believe you me, it would be a riot, I don't dare post about it. |

My teeth definitely need attention, I can't put it off anymore and I don't know what else is haywire, but I'm a little worried. So as much as I'd love to attend a meet-up, I've got to take care of myself this year first. Merry |

You are more important. Meetups can always take place but your health needs to be dealt with first. I kept on pushing away my dental problems all of my life. Seemed everytime I went to a dentist all I heard, over the drill, was Ca-ching!! I always had them deal with the immediate problems but rarely on the not-so-immediate, which later on became the immediate problems. My bad thing is I grind my teeth so now I use a mouthguard that athletes use. I hate it but it does help a lot!! |

In case anyone thought she was joking - it's hard to tell sometimes - I will have the honor of meeting Lissa next week. We should've said something sooner and I apologize for that, but I wouldn't really expect many people to show up anyway. I think most of the members here are in Europe and America. If you can make it to Hong Kong, by all means join us. Everyone is more than welcome. I'm genuinely looking forward to this. I've never met someone from the Internet in person and how can meeting Lissabe anything but exciting? I'll avoid corruption by wearing my largest crucifix. |

I don't want to bore everyone with too many details, but meeting Lissa was incredibly exciting. It was my first ever Internet meet up and it couldn't have gone better. We had dinner at a vegetarian restaurant and she converted me - I'm not even sure how she did it. I think I was subtly ambushed. So now I'm meat-free for 11 days and counting. It's actually not as hard as I thought, but it might be too soon to say. The next night I saw her in concert. All I can say is wow. Better than any roller coaster I've ever been on and I love roller coasters. Then she went off to explore the Chinese interior and have a life-changing experience - but I'll let her tell you about that - and I went home. It all ended so quickly, but it was a great experience. |

Wonderful to hear, Reverend Dave! I wondered what happened to you two, if you ran off together or what! :lol: I'm anxious to hear about her experience, and I congratulate you on becoming a vegetarian! It's always heartwarming to hear of a meeting like this going so well! Merry

I wouldn't worry about us running off together. She can do much better. It was great for me because I'm never here that much and I really don't get the chance to get to know any of you that well and Lissa was as friendly as can be. She just had a way of naturally making me feel at home - and she was the one visiting me. This was on my turf but she was the one who made me feel welcome. I'm sure her visit was great for her, but not so much because of me, more because of after we parted ways. |

That's so great that you and Lissa were able to meet up, Rev Dave. It must have been a fantastic time! Congratulations on your conversion! I could see how she would be a very influential person! She has a way with words.

That was how she got me. She didn't try to make me feel guilty about eating animals, but she used eloquence and an impressive array of facts and figures to make her point without preaching. She converted me without overtly trying to convert me. By the way. I feel great. I don't miss it at all. |

That's great, Reverend Dave, that you and Lissa were able to meet. I am truly impressed that she converted you to go veggie. You will feel much better for it. I would love to hear her in concert and I look forward to hearing of her experiences. |

(((Reverend Dave))) So glad you got to meet a board member, let alone Lissa. She's very talented and intelligent and I assume very pretty. Now if she could convince me not to eat meat, although I have cut back more than half of what I use to eat. I still enjoy my fish....... We missed you too Reverend Dave, where have you been hiding? ((((Lissa))) Tells us your adventure to China and your meeting with Reverend Dave. |

I could see us having a hot, sweaty one nighter, but it would take one strong filly to tame that stallion.
You know what they say about assumptions. They are usually spot on. Due to overwhelming curiosity (two people sent me messages), I will explain that to which Father Dan alluded. After leaving him with memories he will cherish forever, I went to a school run by one of his colleagues in Hunan. My plan was to spend the night there and go to Beijing the next day. I have wanted to go to Beijing for years. It is the reason I accepted the engagement in Hong Kong in the first place, which is the reason Dave and I met. And, ironically, meeting Dave is the reason I went to Hunan, which led to my not going to Beijing. It occurs to me that this could become a very long story. The important part is that I am now in the process of adopting a girl I met at Dave's colleague's school. I assume that is what he meant by all that life changing experience talk. What could be more life changing than having a child. So possibly by the end of this year or later (or earlier) I will have a daughter. This blows me away more than it does anyone else, believe me. The good news is that I do not have to deal with stretch marks or a bowling ball tearing out of my cooter. The bad news? No engorged breasts. |

Seriously??? How cool is that? I applaud you Lissa and I will say that having a child, no matter how, truly is a life changing experience. You become less selfish and more able to let the petty things slide. As for the stretch marks, I see them as trophies for surviving the bowling ball coming out of my cooter! :lol: |

From your keyboard to God's monitor. My question to you and all single mothers (I assume that you are a single mother. I have no idea why, though) is, how accurate are all the jokes about not getting laid when you have a child? This concerns me. More importantly, do you guys say "cooter" in Australia? |

OK: One: Yes I am indeed a single mother, but I would like to know exactly why you assumed that. Two: My daughter is three and a half and I have not had any kind of sex since she was conceived in October 2002. However, this is because her father was a dropkick. Sorry to disappoint you. Three: Cooter - funnily enough, we call it a Mozart. If you part the Bizet of the Mozart, you expose the Beethoven. Once the Beethoven is aroused, you're ready for a damn good Straussing. The other word is vagina. Whatever floats your boat. |

I truly have no idea. Maybe you mentioned it at some point.
Four years without sex? You have my deepest condolences.
That is pretty hot. Talk like that to men and your dry spell is history. |

If anyone's interested, Fiona and I will be going to the Sean Lennon concert at Anaheim House Of Blues, CA on Friday April 27th, 2007. We'll be in Anaheim early afternoon if anyone would like to meet up with us and - if you wanted to go to see Sean Lennon too - there are still tickets available for the gig.

Unfortunately, we're changing in L.A. in both directions.
Well, it's fortunate really, as it's the closest we can get to a direct flight to San Diego for a bargain price... but unfortunate for the fact that we don't stop in 'The South' & get to meet you.

I saw someone today that resembled you at the stop sign by Jamoka's at the end of Corley Road in Boaz. I had an eye doctor's appointment across the road there. I also hit the local Wal-Mart, Cowboy's, Taco Bell, & Unclaimed Baggage. I even bought an unclaimed Beach Boys cd there for $3.50.

I just want to publicly thank everyone who has sent me private messages of congratulations, well wishes and other positivisms. I do not often share my life's events with the world at large, but when I do it is nice to receive positive comments rather than the usual death threats and letter bombs. As for all this California talk, that is in North America. Maybe you guys should start a thread specifically for North America. Also, I will be in Los Angeles from September 23 to 27, 2006. Anyone who wants to get together then should have said something earlier. |
