You are ALL invited to come to a TFP get-together.

Celebrate the reincarnation of the most wonderful site in the world.

And the man with the plan will be there...
Halx

We'll kick back, eat & drink at a nice place called "Mr. Smith's"

Here are some reviews and directions.
There is a maps link on this page.

This is a very easy place to get to.
In the center of it all, with many different highways to it.
Planes, Trains & automobiles have easy access.

If you need ANY assistance, just let me know
rogue49email@excite.com

Plain & simple, just show up.
Eat, drink & be merry.
Talk with your fellow members.

Looking forward to seeing you all.:)

Please note:
All food & beverages are to be on the members own bill

i'd like to go just to meet all you awsome folks,but alas,i'm on the other side of the continent.so i hope someone like say Rogue will toast you all from flyman for me.

cheers to all

Oh, just to note.
Plane tickets from most places in the US to DC are around $350 (roundtrip)

Even from Paris & London.:)

lets have one north of the boarder

You can have one anytime you want.

Have it, and they will come.;)

great idea i think i will

no one will mind that oim riding the tilted coat tails?

still can't get there... :(

but enjoy!!!! and post pics..

I may not be able to make it. :( I'll know for sure next Wednesday.

Ditto to cynthetiq's post...Please post pics!
Man I wish I could be there!

*walks away muttering about how it isn't too late*

Rogue -- I'm glad you put this back up. Didn't want members to forget about it. I'll see everyone next weekend...

i wish i could come.
but, its just too expensive atm.
one day though.

anyway, have a great time people!

Rogue, thanks for reposting. It's on my palm pilot now, so be there I shall!

Have a beer for me, folks!

And Pics, lots and lots of pics!

I won't be able to go. :(

Make sure to post pics. And to everyone going, have fun!

Wile E will be there. Whoot!


Okay, anybody who is planning on going, do you mind giving a quick post in here or a pm to our good buddy Rogue49? This way there is a tally of attendees. Coolness, see all you bums down in our nations capitol.

Still can't go.


Damn it.

Any chance of there being a Euro TFP(arty) in the next year or so?

If anyone knows where to get foreign beers over there, buy some VB for all of us Aussies who will be with you in spirit. Especially bundy, who's named after a spirit.:)

sus and mimi and me are on board and looking forward...

Sounds like a hoot!

countdown to TFP DC:
6 days and counting!

For everyone, that's interested in a TFP get-together
in you own area.

GO FOR IT.

All you have to do is announce it.
Setup the place & time with other members in your area.
And just tell them to come, it's simple.

Doesn't matter where...Europe, Asia, Australia, Midwest, Canada, etc.

And if you want to invite anyone from other areas, do so.
And if you want to have Halx come, ask him.

Damn i gotta work saturday.

:-( waaaaaahhhh!!! i can't make it, being all the way over here in Oregon. oh well. hopefully someday, some tfpers will have a portland TFP get together. if they do, i'll be there! hey, i might even be willing to head all the way up to seattle!

I can't make that trip ... never been to the states either :(

but I sure would like to see some pictures of that meeting

We need a west coast meeting!

If it were being held on the right coast (as opposed to the left) I could consider attending. But alas, the merriment will be in my absence.

Enjoy!

SOOOO if *Nikki* had a TFP get together, how many of you would bring your asses to South Carolina??

Depends on when it is. That's why I couldn't make this one. :(

Yea, I'd probably show up!!!

Not really, but it was worth the try. It's hard to get out of the job right now but if anyone from AZ wants to meet up, let me know!

It's this weekend -- you guys getting excited?

Well, I'm moving to Atlanta soon... So I will just have to see about setting something up out there.....

How bout New York, the capitol of the world??? :D

Damn straight!
I just showed Hal the site today, he seemed to like it.:)

I can't wait until Saturday.


BTW,
anyone else has a get-together
make sure you announce it in General Discussion so everyone sees it.
And be sure to give us a couple of months so we can prepare to go.

Hmm... TFP party? In Virginia?
Wooo! Road trip!!! :D

Imagine my surpise when I found that this is in my neck of the swamp. If I'm basically lurking here, should I do the same at Smith's?

Sadly not enough time to prepare for a cross country trip but next time there is one I will be there. Atleast if its anywere sorta in the middle of the country.

I work right across the road. I may or may not be able to make it out, though. (Sick kids.)

NIKKI---if your going to wear those oven mittens, I will figure a way to get there---(think I have a great aunt that is very poor health in that area)---L/A

wish I could make it to the east coast party---but you kids might
be a little more than the viejo can handle--then again???

I'm all set, calendar cleared, I'll print the directions out at work tomorrow. I'm set to be there, and I'm looking forward to meeting you knuckleheads. :-)

Hahahaha! I just realized that this is about a mile from where I work!

I'm not gonna be able to make it. :( I can't get out of work. If it was two weeks later I could just call off, but I have to work Satuday. Then I have to go back to work Sunday night. It's just a little too far to drive for me to be able to make it back. Plus there's no way in hell I'd get any sleep. Fuuuuck! :mad:

Hopefully next time I can make it.

I'm not too far from chicago neither.

I hope you all have a good time in DC tommorow!!!

Will
Be
with
you
in
spirit.
(drooling with envy)

Just thought of something, you guys know you're missing the Draft right? ;)

Nope, it's going to be on TV at the bar.

Our thoughts will be with you too.

*psssssst*(opens bottle,and holds it above head)


CHEERS EVERYONE

have a good time eh

Art,

Don't think I didn't notice your avitar pinned to your jacket. That was very cool!

Peetster,
Thanks for showing up!
Great to meet ya, man.

Rogue: You really are the original geek/stud. I'd love to keep up with you IRL. You are witty and can challenge me and make me laugh at the same time.
Tophat: I like your style, bro. I don't think people know how smart you are. Now I do.
Art: You are as deep in person as you are online. Wow. You kept forcing me to THINK! That was cool.
Mimi: Despite my best efforts, you continue to stay well grounded. ;-) Good for you, since you have so much going on.
Sus: I think you make more sense than you give yourself credit. You are pretty damn smart. :-)
Phil: As I expected, you are a total man's man. I could hang with you for days.
Halx: You are even more laid back and cooler than I ever thought could be. Thanks for making this all possible. I'm glad to be part of this group.

Oh, and the big birthday thing went really well. I even got a kiss on the cheek and a big hug. I guess I did good. :-)

to all who attended, it was real...

to those who didn't, you missed a hell of a good time...(and it's still going on...)

Hugs to you, ART. It's not every day you meet a legend. :-)

Totally rewarding and valuable experience today, thanks to Halx and rogue49! Thanks also to BuDDaH, Wile_E, unclephil, tophat65, Peetster, and for me especially, sus and mimi!
...the miles were worth it for the smiles on the outside and insight on the inside...onward and upward from here!

what a great bunch of guys you are. i'm so glad i was there to meet you; it'd be fun to do it again :-D

Peetster, you are a real cool guy, I had a lot of good things to say about you when you left - real great impression you made.

Can't say it enough, well worth all the effort.

I would do it again in 2 seconds...well, 2 months...heh
Everyone DOES have lives.

But I enjoyed every moment, it was great talking and hanging out with everyone, good people everywhere.
You can't ask for anything more.

Thank you all again for coming, you've made my day.
And given me some good thoughts to remember.

I know that some ever deeper friendships were made that day.:)

totally special thanks are due you rogue-master!
you pulled it together from scratch and everything you did from day 1 is much appreciated - thanks man, I hope you felt our love...

oh, as an additional way to re-experience the event for fortunate attendees and a way to voyeuristically experience some of what transpired for those who desire same:
the beginnings of an account are in my journal now...
I'll get to the great parts as soon as I get the good parts done.
thanks...

Thank you, art
Believe me, it was my pleasure.

BTW, my compliments, you are indeed a lucky man.
sus & mimi, you are lovely ladies.
Very special to meet you all.

Peetster & Tophat, it was great seeing you.
You were both fun to talk to and great men.

I only wish you both had been able to stay just a little later to meet Buddah & Wile
(they got stuck on the highway)

But those who did meet you, had nothing but compliments.
Keep up the coolness.
And thanks again for coming.
