Now location is second after the review of initial interest!

--LOL

But by the looks of things Chicago or Ed's house are looking like nominations!

I want to thank everyone who have taken time to respond.

And I can see we already have some menu planning in the works!

a bag of chips and Spit roasted sheep over open fire and a nice large pot of vegetable curry for the vegetarians... (without the arm and a leg) !

Yup you guys are tooooooo funny!

While I would certainly love to come meet all of you wonderful folks, unless y'all want to come down and have it in my backyard I doubt I could come.

Would be quite a get together, though. Not a pixel in a fifty mile radius would be safe...

Doug Nelson · #18 06-05-2003, 12:45 PM

Why must there only be one get-together? If someone is feeling hospitible, simply yell "c'mon down!" and those in the vicinity can respond.

Well Said Doug!

I would go to Chicago (have family there!)...given enough advance warning. I think that's a very good choice given the central location...for US residents anyway, and perhaps a few folks in Canada.

Of course, if someone can raise the money, I would be happy to volunteer to drive a RetouchPro motor home around the country!

Do they have Denny's in S. Africa?

Amanda....What are you crazy ? Have us all come down to tornado alley? I fly to Texas and end up in Kansas?

For real I would love to go to Texas and have a real chili of a time with a little lime!

Jean

Ah...but now that the tornado cleaned me out I've got PLENTY of room for RTP folks in the yard...

The Chilympiad is always a big deal down here in the spring. Very large chili event draws people from all over the US.

I'm not such a big chili fan, but I'll take some TexMex and a big old 'rita anyday.

I don't know BK - Miss Amanda may swing votes her way based on those "Ritas" !

(yes I know I stole this image from Greg -- unauthorized I assure!)

Let's see, -- BK chips and Amanda Rita's --

it all comes down to suds'N'grub with this group! LOL (Yes they have Denny's in TX!)

Not for nothi'n-- Jean, but you may have solved the travel issue! Start off in Texas and end up in Kansas! Good idea! LOL

Does that mean that someone who doesn't drink would not be welcome?

TwinbNJ · #26 06-05-2003, 08:38 PM

Not so - we have coffee and tea!

I know when I am done with my frothing on my milk for my coffee "SUDS" is the word!!!!

I LOVE steamed milk and my coffee has one big head of suds on it! --- not a tea person myself

Sorry I did not mean for the suds to indicate the rita's only.

But if you like coffee --- I make a mean Sock blend with steamed frothy milk!

I vote for the come-on-down version, little get-togethers all over the world!

We can also do national get-togethers (respect-to-hyphenated-word-day!) on CUWorld. We are a member and can host a video chat room. Go to www.cuworld.com to see what I am talking about. Anyone can become a 30-day-member for free. If you don't mind changing your nik you can even do it more than once. Not as much fun as meeting everyone in person, but maybe more feasible.

Doug Nelson · #28 06-05-2003, 10:54 PM

All it takes is some motivated person to start a thread saying "anyone up for a meet in <insert city here>?"

Only Denny's down here are mushroom growers

Big Al, that's a shame. The Original Grand Slam is one of the worlds best bargains. And it's available 24/7.
