World's King

So I'm sitting here with my girlfriend looking at porn and we decided that we need to have a Denver/Colorado get together.



Anyone interested?

Depending on when, I might be able to find an excuse. I was there 2 weeks ago, and I need to get back out there.

You were here two weeks ago and you didn't tell me?





I'm thinking mid-July. Seeing as how my birthday is July 14th. That should give people enough time to get here and/or make plans to get here.

Flew in at 9, had 4 meetings, back out on the 7. It wasn't that I don't love you and all that shit, just that I barely had time to call my wife all day. But for mostly preliminary meetings/cold calls, it went exceedingly well.

Next time will probably be an overnight, so I could meet up after dinner. Honestly, I could probably make it back before then as well as in July.

I'm new to the site, but from Denver (in Boulder now). If you'll still have me...

Starkizzer

I was wondering the same thing but didn't want to ask since this is tilted...maybe there are "special get-togethers".

But maybe he just wanted to brag that he watches porn with his hot girlfriend!

King,

I'm considering... I must have a reunion of the crazy frogs. Not sure if finances will allow it, so I'll keep tabs on this. Is Old Chicago on the party list?

If this happens far enough out, I can plan for it and go. You two can show me a good time. Assuming Sean hasn't lost his edge.

I think we all know that World's Queen has turned WK into a sleepy kitten that lounges around the house all day mewing for a fresh bowl of milk. Sorry to say, Hal, the wild terror of LoDo that you crave has disappeared from this world.

That said, if it happens to match up with the beginning of August, I might be able to make it, since I'll be in town for my wedding.

shesus

We'll be going through Colorado in mid-June when we move.
And it's going to take a hell of a lot to get me out of Chicago once we're back.

I kinda wanna go, but i'm kinda scared to meet people from this site too. Yay for being socially awkward

Tully Mars

I'd be extremely reluctant to meet people in real life. I used to be on another forum on a regular, daily basis. Many, many times I found myself in towns where I knew other members lived. I made a point of never mentioning I was in the area. More then once I found myself still in their state but posted or PM'ed only after leaving their city. Closest I ever came to a real life meeting was a fellow moderator who live in Minnesota, he and I just couldn't get the time to work.

But maybe if you went you'd work through some of the social awkwardness you're dealing with?

pfft. 5 of us came together for a festival from the forum i used to frequent. we ranged in age from 19 to 38 and the festival was awesome not because of the festival but because of the 5 of us. several years later i´m still in regular contact with some of my old forum friends. social awkwardness is meeting someone you don´t know for the 1st time. this is meeting people you do know. hell yeah you´ll have shit to talk about.

i suspect a few would if asked nicely enough though

Yes

Anyways, a couple years ago now I had a wonderful opportunity to go to Rochester for a meetup there, and even though I had never met anyone there in person before, I had a fabulous time. Since then, I've attended three meetups in the Seattle area, and enjoyed all of them (this is before you moved there, Shauk). Generally, TFPers are nice people. I have social anxiety problems, and going to these things has been hard for me, but they've always been worth biting the bullet and doing it.

A few years ago there were a few of us from Salt Lake (they're all lurkers/gone now) and I was very anxious at the thought of meeting up with them. I did...and had a good time (I'm socially awkward as well). It was worth it and I'm glad I did.

hah trust me if I was in the States I'd definitely come to meet-ups. So you shouldn't waste that.

I had one meet-up so far from TFP here in Lisbon, and though I felt weird about it at the time, it was very cool and I enjoyed it a lot.

Yeah, I'm socially anxious too. In fact quite a lot. You don't have to like everyone you meet and they don't have to like you, but it seems that there being the TFP factor in there, should make it easier for everyone to get on ok.

Go anyway. I always have room for more friends. Challenge your boundaries. And have fun too!

I debated in my head for a long time about this, being a n00b to TFP.

I'll come to your meetup, World's King, if it's a free-for all. If it's invite only lemme know. Actually one thing that pushed me over the edge was your avatar kissing your girl unabashedly and your portrait in the portrait thread. "Hey, he probably rides a fixie, I could at least laugh at him about that!" (just kidding).

Make sure it's somewhere I can buy a beer or six. My wife might come, I don't know.

So, I'm thinking my birthday. Like I stated before. July 14th.



My new restaurant is a bit pricey so I'm gonna pass on that. There is a couple cool places around my 'hood that I'll check out.

Mister Coaster

Hey, I just saw this... count me in. Since my birthday is July 15, we'll have to make sure the party goes past midnight. I'd love to cook some barbecue for the festivities!
