Title: DalCon '05! Thank you!
Post by Frank_W on Jul 18th, 2005, 9:44am
I'm back, and have yet to fully recover... LOL

First and foremost, I'd like to thank Donna, Chris, Bill, Mike, Linda, Jean, Chuck, and the rest of the BoD of OUCH, for restoring my faith in the organization and the foundation that it is now building from.

A special thank you to Donna for all of your hard work leading up to the convention, and for your work during and through the convention. It was a resounding success!!

Thank you to each of you who attended, and especially to those who brought their spouses and supporters. It was such a pleasure to meet everyone. What an amazing, dynamic, and wonderful group of people...

Jonny, thank you for the beers!!
Jean, thank you for the beers and food!
Chuck, thank you for the beers!
Jackie, thank you for the Cosmopolitans! (They were great!)
Steve (KOP) thank you for the beers!
Helen and David, thank you for the scotch, the book, and the chocolate! They are delicious! (The book is a little difficult to chew, but I'm making good progress.... LMAO)

I've had too many beers to remember everyone who supplied beers. Uh... Anyway... THANKS!!

Rori, thank you for running the auction and the game show. Both were absolutely brilliant. :)
Elizabeth (Alien Space Babe) Thank you for the artwork. It was fantastic... What a labor of love.
Chris (PD), Racer Bill, and Donna, thank you for the unending airport runs you made, and for your unflagging dedication, devotion, and hard work.

I have so many things to thank so many people for... There's no way I can remember them all...

Good times, good conversation, good laughs, good food, too many damn cigarettes (but my lung feels great!), good drinks, and lots and lots of fun...

Thank you to each and every one of you for making Dallas '05 such a smashing success!!

My very best to each one of you who attended,
-Frank

Frank, it was great to finally meet you even if you did sneak off without me being able to say goodbye.  You and Helen had me rolling during the entertainment.  Thanks for being such a good sport.  Thank you for busting your ass to help out with everything.  Your lifting that barge and toting that bail was definitely appreciated.

Post by Frank_W on Jul 19th, 2005, 11:52am
Thanks, Mike! It was a privilege to help and I was glad for the opportunity.

Sorry I snuck out, but the plane was leaving early and I'm not so good at saying goodbye... It was a real honor to meet you and Jane. Thank you for the work you did on the cluster headaches presentation: It looks GREAT!

Hey, maybe next time, we can go to a barbecue place with some lower chairs!  ;;D ;)

Man, i wish i could have gone there.
Can someone tell me:  who supplied all the Oxygen?  I know you can't fly with it, and I cant leave home without it.  Did you contract with a DME place in Dallas and have them bring lots of O2 over to the hotel?
Thanks & PF wishes
BMonee

And, hey, 1 more question/  How can you bastards drink so much without getting cornholed?

Title: Re: DalCon '05! Thank you!
Post by Donna_D. on Jul 19th, 2005, 1:08pm
Linda Howell paid for 12 tanks herself from Lincare (they have offices nationwide).  What a woman!  We all breathed easy thanks to her!

Redneck brought a couple of tanks as well as Gator and NotSeinfeld too.

It's so good to have friends!

Well, I told Chuck that he could cornhole me anytime he wanted, but he declined.

I didn't realize that Linda paid for the O2. Linda, thank you so very much... You're a gem. :) [smiley=hug.gif]

Thank you to Gator and N. Seinfeld, too!!

  Ya know Charlie...There are very few people who are talented in wood-working ;like Gator and artisic things like JD & Zazi, or metal things like Jonny.

You my friend had a way with words last week-end with the security guard.  I listened to you describe an attack to him.. told him very calmly not to call; 911..and WHY.  you were great my friend and you have talent you just don't realize.

I ALMOST made it there, but too much happened to cripple me from making the trek. Looking at all of the pics brought back all of the memories of NashCon and of course, I got all emotional. I wish I could have been there in Dallas to meet all of the convention-virgins, and have another early-morning-hang-over chat with you bro.
Next year, I WILL BE THERE!

Missed you guyses,
Carl D Phroek  a.k.a. Mack Danger

Post by Gator on Jul 20th, 2005, 5:34pm
You were missed, Carl.  I was hoping for a miracle and to see you stepping down into the bar.  We are going to get together one of these days if it kills me.  Until then, my e-mail and phone line is always open to you.
