This is the third convention I am missing out on, since coming on this board.
Cause of puter probs and other practical stuff I hardly get to go to chat these days. Folks don't know me anymore and last time in chat I was snubbed...
Sorry about bitching, but I miss those of you I "know" more than I can say and would give anything to be with you up there.
I just don't have that "anything". End of story.
Let's just leave it at, `I miss you'.

I'm with you, Ave.....missed all three conventions too.  I was able to go to the Florida gathering and that was a treat. Hell....we're probably better off at home. We would just drink to much, smoke to many cigs, stay up to late and have way to much fun for our own good..LOL  I'm told one can have to much fun but I'm not sure I believe it.
I'd don't get to chat much either....not like the old days....LOL....can't stay up that late  Perhaps we can catch each other early some evening. If your computer will behave ??? I've miss seeing you....we did have some very "spirited" conversations...LOL 
Love & Hugs

i can make ya feel worse Ave. I have been to one OUCH cornvention and the one Houston area get together.....it is truly a sensory overload magnifigent event candy store for someone who has gotten to know and love these folks thru this site. When I wasn't playin the court jester I'd sit back and just scan all the faces...the little clusters of 3 or 4 folks laughin or in deep serious conversation....communicatin on a level that makes this board and chat pale in comparison.
...all the subtlties of facial expressions...I'd scan the room goin from person to person...it's the eyes I remember most....I'm a hermit kinda guy...performing is not who I am....the closeness I felt to each of those faces was indeed a rare experience....then someone across the room would lock eyes with me and smile and....shit...I carry those picture-moments close to my heart.
Know that they are bullshittin about us left behind too.
Folks often speak of clques here....of an exclusivity feel....they have no idea how truly tight these personal gatherings make folks...
yea...I wish I were there too...I hope they throw us some bones of updates....a web cam would be awesome...butt I understand the intensity of the moments that they are caught up in....and smile.
walk in the sunshine
den
PS: I remember on Sat nite they had a computer set up in a hospitality room...a single smokey motel room stocked to the gills with free booze...packed to the gills with folks carryin on...and I started posting something to the board...reachin over Nancy C and Linda H's shoulder...we were laughin so hard...they were deletin shit faster than I could type and punchin on me...it was very science fiction like to be postin to the board when most of the folks you normally read or post to are standin in the room with you...now that was wierd.

Thanks Den:
I've never been to one of these things. I'm better on paper anyway. Too bad in a way because I think I'd like Vancouver. In any event, the updates and the responses are terrific.

This has been a tough weekend for me too...knowing everyone is in vancouver and i am here working...got a call from Piera last nite and the room was full of good looking Italians laughing..dont think anyone understood a word i said. LOL...i sure miss my roommate from Atlanta...and Den, you are dangerous on the keyboard at a convention LMAO. I miss all the smiles and hugs from my clusterbuds...waaaaaaaa.....Ave, I can relate to the way you feel..sometimes i feel really alone at times here on the mb and i dont go to chat anymore cause i dont know all the new people...but i guess that is my fault...i have been trying to get things in my life adjusted lately since i am pf...and have not reached out like i used to...but know i love you guys... ;Dnancyc

Oh, ave, I would so like to meet you in person. I've really liked your personality ever since we met. Is there a chance of your coming here sometime in the future?
There is really nothing to compare to meeting a clusterbud. 16 of us met in Fla. last April (1st and only time I ever met a clusterbud) and it is undescribable. We chose April because being after Easter, the season rates dropped drastically. A two bedroom totally furnished condo right on the Gulf of Mexica ran $85.00 per night.........divide this by a few people and..wow.
We really need to get more of these meetings going. I'm all for doing it again next spring. What do you all say?
Maybe even meet half way from the farthest point, if Fla is too far.
But to go to a convention......now that is what I dream about.

Whoa donna, you don't dream alone.......but just remember, dreams sometimes come true.
Hoping to be amongst fellow clusterbuds some time soon myself, til then, the pleasure of just being here remains!
