For the 1st time meeting a group of clusterheads I must say you were easy to find right off the bat.  I could smell the smoke as soon as I cleared the door.  I may have even mentioned that when I entered the room.

The first person I officially met was Chuck.  And if memory serves correctly it took him about 3 seconds to grab my butt.

The next was Jenn and we promptly went outside for a smoke.

Jerry and I got our picture for Linda as requested

Found out that when you're talking to Jimi and a Hendrix song comes on he just tunes you the hell out.

Steph and DJ's Brandon is adorable

I was probably there for 15 minutes when Chuck needed to go somewhere, I had a car, Flipperlips joined in.  We all got to listen to my Instinct GPS get us to where we needed to go.  After a short stop in one store, Flipper went in to a Walgreens to get a varity of smokes and loved it in there so much that she stayed for about 20 minutes.

Discovered that Skyhawk5 and I have a lot in common when it comes to aborting our headaches.

I was discussing with Jayne that the 3rd ball is scary and I thought Joe was going to fall out of his chair.  Had to do with subway sandwiches and Joe hearing the last part of the conversation.

Jayne - did you get your doll? Thank you LadyLuv for mine.

KimmyDawn is a hoot.

Bill likes to surf.

Cat can fix computers.  BTW Cat - what a hug!

(Jeannie) - Great place to take everyone to eat Saturday night.

CarlD, Framcire, JDH, Johnny, Rolo, Jackie, Blake, Ruthie, Beth, Lobster - it was wonderful to meet in person.

Until the next one

Echo off ------------------------ Mark

Jeannie - how could I have forgotten to put down that you found a great place for everyone to meet on Saturday night.  Great service, great food.

Could have done without that guys arz at the back of my head.  At least it wasn't as bad as Jenn - she had one at the side of her head.

what makes you think I didn't like it??? ;)   bwwwaahhhhh!

It was wonderful meeting you too Mark.  I only wish I hadn't had to work and was able to spend more time with everyone.  Time always goes by too fast at meet and greets.  :(

Beth

Sure was glad to finally meet you Echo. I always figured any friend of Linda's was a friend of mine. Anyway, you look entirely too much like me so cut it out. Later dude, Purple haze just came on the radio..............Later.

Hey Echo...it was great meeting you too!!!!  And I know I almost fell off of my chair when you were talking about the third ball....I'm quite certain I heard Jimi's thoughts in my head at that point too....he was gonna say something to that effect as well...

I hope I get to see you at the next meet and greet or maybe even at the convention in July...

Mark,  it was great to meet you and then discover we use the same method during aborts. It was a pleasure even before I knew that.

Every person there touched my heart and I will never forget that. And yes I will, and Helen too, make every effort to be at all future gatherings.

I read about it before and saw pictures but now I really know the meaning of this CH.com family. I truly miss the company of you all..!!
