    Re: Pizza near Chicago on 8/17!

    The moose head, and a few more attractive specimens Although for some reason I don't think either if these two beautiful ladies will like the fact that I used the word "specimen" to describe them.

    I wonder what Mr. Moose would say if we could hear him. I could have swore I saw his lips move while I was eating my sammich.

    Re: Pizza near Chicago on 8/17!

    Thanks everyone, it was a very fun night. I was especially excited about meeting Mike, his girlfriend Amy, and Adina. It was great seeing Steve and Kelly again. Kelly, keep me updated on your progress. Mike, lay off the computer a few days out of the week. Amy, convince Mike that he needs a new riding buddy. Adina, you're really cool! I didn't know we were so close in age. Sebastian, I'll email you Friday. Thanks to Steve for organizing this gathering and thanks to everyone else for coming!!!

    So what's the best thing about the evening? For me, it would have to be the fact that one fellow photographer thought my avatar was actually me I wish!!!

    Goodnight and thanks all for showing up!

    Re: Pizza near Chicago on 8/17!

    Hey everyone, I had a great time last night! I'm a little tired this morning tho, but it was worth it. We made it home about 12:15am, and the alarm went of at 4:15am... I had a nice battle with the snooze button till about 5:00, then I had to finally admit defeat and crawled out of bed. It was great to finally get to put some faces with the names I have gotten to know over the last year or so.

    Trev, I love the pics. I'm deffinetly going to try the flash under the face trick, once I get a flash. I'm glad you posted the mirror pic, I really wanted to see how that turned out. I will write some more after work. No, make that after my afterwork nap...

    Re: Pizza near Chicago on 8/17!

    Well it took me a little longer to get home than I thought, as I took a scenic detour that added an hour to my trip. My darling husband was not pleased when I woke him with a phone call for some directions.

    I had a really great time as well, it was nice to see everyone again, and meet some new people as well. I don't have any photos, though.


    And for anyone who has never met Trevor, oh my god, can that boy dance!!!

    That's how rumors get started. Oh, wait, it's true!

    Good to see everybody again and meet some new people! Mike, not only did I not know you had that long of a drive but that's rough that you had to get up so early. The word of the day is "caffeine"... Got a couple that I'll post tonight.

    I didn't mind the late night, and the early morning wasn't that bad. After an hour or so of work, I was wide awake and ready to go. Tomrrow will be a dif. story tho. It always hits me hardest on the 2nd day. I was a little tempted with some caffeine this morning, but I haven't had a soda, in over 10 years, and I can't stand the taste of coffee. The only way I can drink it is if I have enuf crap in it, that I can't taste coffee.

    We took a bit of a senic route home last night as well, but it was actually a little quicker than going back to the tollway.

    Adina, and Kelly, sorry I didn't get a chance to chat with you more.

    Re: Pizza near Chicago on 8/17!

    I went to a pizza place and got a burger. Typical...

    Great seeing everyone again, and meeting new peeps.

    HOLY COW!! The pikature shows up right back here on the back! Well golleeeeee!


    I don't know what he was staring at, but it must have been interesting.


    Rub it for good luck.

    Re: Pizza near Chicago on 8/17!

    That beer was mine, and I believe I left half of it behind. You could'a had it.


    ... and we'll call these the "before" pictures. Just wait til the November gathering (after I've had my exercise equipment a few months) ...


    I brought my little P&S camera, but I guess I assumed there'd be some sort of announcement made when it was time for us all to take pictures of each other. Instead, we chatted and chatted, and suddenly people started leaving. So I'm afraid I've only got these two.



    Here's what the following characters are saying, from Left to Right:

    Headless Hands: "Hey, is that Dr. Zoidberg across the table from me?" *SNAP*

    Trevor: "Over this Pizza Gathering, oh Lord, we pray ... please let none of these people be psychos ... or characters from Futurama ..."

    Sebastian: "Gee, Trevor says he saw the pikature on the back of this here camera! I just don't get how this works, I don't see nothin'. I gotta ponder this a spell."

    John: "There's the troublemakers, both sides of me. I didn't do anything, honest! I'm just sittin' here quiet as a mouse, makin' no trouble. It's them I tell ya!"

    Discombobulated Nose & Forearm: "Amen." (Hope nobody figures out that I'm the psycho here, hiding behind this handsome, intelligent, caring demeanor ... )

    Dr. Zoidberg: "For you, my friend, anything. "





    "Uh, yeah, OK, whatever. I'll pretend I didn't see that. I think it's time to leave, don't you?"
