Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Jonny on May 25th, 2006, 7:17pm Well, theres the fist time I ever met a clusterhead (Atlanta)....But, I dont think she would want me to share that story ;) Then theres the blowjob I got in Vancouver (She can speak to that if she wants to) ;) Ok, heres one I can tell....LOL Three months before the Atlanta convention me and Den went at it here on the board, I was gonna kick his ass and he was going to kick mine. Everyone was PM'ing me asking if it was for real, I always said it was.....LOL....I even got on a computer at the airport and told him his hours were numbered. (Fast forward to the hotel) Im in the bar next to the lobby with a bunch of CH'ers and the lobby door opens, a loud "YOU, I WANT YOU!" is yelled out, all heads turn and theres an groan (Like, oh oh..here it goes)....People are just stunned and have no idea what to do.....LOL I scream "COME ON!" and he charges me, when he gets to me both are arms are cocked and ready to swing, as we swing we hug and start laughing at all the people with dropped jaws.....LMMFAO ;;D What sucks is with this latest puter crash I lost all the pics, Den taking me to the floor, me standing Den on his head while holding the ass of his pants and many many more convention pics :'( |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Mastifflvr28 on May 25th, 2006, 10:15pm Dang...it is SO hard to pic. Every second of those conventions are just precious to me!! My first convention...the first 5 minutes, I'm in the parking lot of the hotel in Vancouver... (followed a van that had a banner on the back that said "clustermobile") and all of a sudden there is a streak of blonde and a chic the same height as me comes flying at me and gives me a hug whilst yelling "MAST"...I said calmly..."who the heck ARE you?". It was LindaH...I will NEVER forget!! Oh yeah...and also the time Linda gave me a map of the US with everyone's whereabouts on it since I'm geographically illiterate and I think it drove her nuts. I'm more geographically smart now :) Oh yeah, and the porch...every SECOND of that was memorable. Plus I was awake almost every second of those 3 days. Oh yeah, and crusing the strip in Nashville hitting the bars with Peppi, Suzi, DJ, Coots and Brad. Oh yeah and...I could go on and on for days!!! But I have several CD's full of pics to remember everything :) Mast |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Linda_Howell on May 25th, 2006, 10:16pm Not fair Donna. Some of uys have been to all of them. well except for Las Vegas when I was sick.. Atlanta. 1. Watching Adams face and hearing his laugh when Jonny kicked Dens a$$. 2. Meeting my first clusterheads ever. Elaine, Jonny and Friend, BarbD, Jimi, BobP 3. Watching BobP's face get redder and redder as Jonny kept bidding on Bob's shirt. He was up to 200.00 4. Being taken care of when I got hit. By total strangers who I now call family. Vancouver 1. I wish I could remember all the stories Elaine told when I shared a room with her. My stomache muscles will never be the same for the laughter she provided. 2. Giving Jonny a blow job on the golf course. (Pics from Mastiff to follow I hope) 3. Watching BobP get all flustered because Riccarrdo hit an errant ball on the course and didn't know enough about golf to yell "FORE" almost hit some guys and Bob had to do damage control. New York 1. The porch 2. Brad and his lampshade and his blues harp 3. Cat...getting hit and taking off to drown her head in the cold waters of the St. Lawarence 4. Making Roxy laugh while she was getting hit. 5. Accidentally flushed my pajama shorts down the toilet and I only had a very short top. Outside on the porch at 5:00am and up walks Tim W. sit's down to talk to me and I am so worried about my bottoms I can't move. Nashville. 1. BEATING the "other" Limey at the 3-game grudge match in pool 2. Watching Dave and Leesa get married. 3. Meeting Cluster Chuck at the airport and after saying hello to him, having him say..."who the fuck are you" ::) 4. Getting the best neck massage from Bente, Svenns wife. Dallas 1. Listening to Bill Mingus' voice with his 17 syllable words. 2. Getting an award that was totally a surprise. 3. Texas food 4. Auction was the best ever. Sorry, DD I just could NOT come up with only one. Linda |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Linda_Howell on May 25th, 2006, 10:30pm Whew. Thank you M. We'd just finished 18 holes and I noticed this air thingy...asked Margi what it was and she said it was to blow off the grass and dirt from the bottom of your shoes. So I was looking at it and had it in my hand and up limps Jonny (sciaticca) and it just pops into my head to ask him if he wanted a blow job.. Linda |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Karla on May 25th, 2006, 10:32pm I would say having to watch Jonny go after Den in Atlanta. It was hillarious to watch! Honestly, I would have said this even if Jonny didn't mention it I was going to. :P |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Dave_Emond on May 26th, 2006, 4:26am Everyone's right ... one answer isn't fair ;) Las Vegas ... 1st OUCH Convention: 1. Had the great honor to sit down to dinner and talk with Kip & Judy, very memorable and will always cherish that. 2. How many CHer's and supporters could we fit in the shower!? [smiley=laugh.gif] 3. That guy named Arnold that just showed up who's ideas made even LC Bob's comments seem somewhat sane :-X Vancouver: 1. Was hurting bad through that one, so memory not to sharp there, but I do remember the surprise birthday party ... thanks all! Course Jonny could have got me an ashtray too in that strictly non smoking resturant ;;D Nashville 1. Everything that could go wrong for me did there, but was still worth it! 2. As OUCH Prez at the time, everyone lied to me about my speech attempt telling me I did fine when I know better ;;D After 1/2 hour sleep, late for the opening speech, Clustering and trying to hide it, cameras and mikes on me (which I hate) ... finally Cat bailed me out! 3. Plane arrived late and met Frank at the Hotel, he went on to explain the whole concept of the Convention, then asked my name and if I had CH? It was hilarious when I told him and oh, BTW: "I'm the Prez." I guess he and I would know how funny that really was, he and too many others treated me as if I was "above" them and took most of the time trying to just be one fellow sufferer. 3. Couple good advantages to that though, scarying Elaine for a surprise gift and confronting ClusterChuck after his "performance." Met him at the door as he was sneaking out, arms crossed and shaking my head, all he said was, "Uh ... oh no ...oops ... am I fired?" [smiley=laugh.gif] 4. At least Mr.Happy told me I looked like I was going to break apart the podium and I was hard to hear over my slamming my cue cards all over :-[ 5. Going back to sit at my table and EVERYONE there threw out all kinds of meds ... unplanned even! :-* 6. Same as flight delays getting there, same trying to get home. Got to the airport at 5:30AM, didn't get out until 11:30PM! It was so special though that Jean, Jackie, DJ's Mom and Carrie all found me and watched over me as long as they possibly could, that was so very special, will never forget! :-* (Course, I did start a small riot a few hours after they left :o) Thanks to all who got me there though ... through all ... I'd do it over again. Met so many new friends at each and there were too many memorable things to write about them all. What a group we are! Dave (Oh ... and BarbD was funnier than all the comedians ... she is a natural ... really helped ease the pain I was in ... :-*) Well ... good for all my hands are giving out on me ;) |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by LeLimey on May 26th, 2006, 5:41am Oh bugger.. here come the tissues just thinking about it again! Everyone else is right Donna.. how to pick just one? 1. Sitting in the bar with my friends from Amarillo Ron and Laurie and seeing you and knowing you and finally being "there".. I wanted to cry I was so overwhelmed and happy. I have to say Donna that whenever I think of you, which is daily! - that's the image that comes to my mind. It was BLOODY BRILLIANT!!! [smiley=hug.gif] 2. When Beeyul joined us, I was fascinated by his accent. I've never EVER heard anyone take so long to say Way-aaaaaaaay-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-ellllllllllllllllllllllllllll Heyyyyy-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-elllllllllllllllllllllllll-looooooooooooooooooo ... and I know I left a few syllables out but for Pete's sake I'm only a Brit! ::) 3. When everyone else turned up and the board went 3-D. Incredible, sitting there hearing everyones voices. I can't read your posts now without hearing you all in my heart. 4. How much my face HURT.. it really bloody HURT!! Not from CH - from smiling and laughing. 5. "Lactose Intolerant" Noahs face when Jonny yelled "£1000 for the redhead" Linda's face when she got her award, Nani frantically bidding for chocolate... That auction was the reason for all my 6. Beating the unholy crap out of Frank. 7. Feeling at home. We could all get hit, it made no odds. People just carried on around you and go you a drink or whatever when you were through. You were still you though and not some freakshow. Getting hit on the plane on the way home and having everyone watching my every move thereafter was so hard after having been just "me" again for so long. If I had to pick one memory only and one reason for going again it would be this one. |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Redd715 on May 26th, 2006, 8:46am It's just like Lays Potato Chips DD..Can't have just 1. Nashville: Waiting by the luggage pick-up at the airport (after 1 delayed and 1 canceled flight), seeing vig (my first clusterhead), and nearly knocking him over. Second clusterhead was Beeull...and feeling like I was home before we ever got to the hotel. can't remember if it was Roxy or Cat, but a wonderfully sweet "care package". vig using the imitrx tip on me for the first time and in his nervousness leaving a heart shaped bruise. Leesa and Dave's wedding. I was one of the lucky ones to know before I left home it was going to happen. Jonny's face when he tasted WI cheese for the first time. Dallas: Stepping into 104 degree heat with 80% humidity and feeling, and more-over LOOKING like a dround rat. Doughnuts anyone? Waterfight between Me, Chuck and DD where Chuck got the worst of the deal. http://www.clusterheadaches.com/dallas2005/dallas2005003.jpg The Know your Clusterhead skit. I haven't laughed so hard in my life, and Frank took his lashing with such grace. Working with the rest of my OUCH partners in crime, you guys are the best. |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by thomas on May 26th, 2006, 8:48am Meeting Jerry (Calicokid) one of the true nice guys out there in the universe, Jackie, Blake, Tina, Ramon, and many others at the first Davcon. I have made so many real friendships here, it's unbelievable. Sitting on Lil' Deb's couch with Bill will always live in my memory. Discovering love in Nashville will always be tops on my list, though. :-* |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by BarbaraD on May 26th, 2006, 8:52am Rochester NY - the VERY first one -- REcognizing Drummer in a crowded airport (never saw a picture or even talked to him except online - but knew who he was - weird) Kip and Judy, Todd and Elaine Days of just talking in Drummer's garage -- watching another Cher get hit -- and being on the other side -- Standing at the airport trying to say goodbye to Kip - the big old lug started crying and Judy had to break us up (ok I was crying too). Vegas will always be formost -- 35 Chers in the same room. lcbob - all I could do was cry and so did he. And yes, Arnold... trying to find a common thread among us. Everyone crowded in the "whirlpool" for pictures. Meeting DJ when he still had hair... Trying to say goodbye to Kip -- Judy had to break us up again ... Atlanta Meeting Jonny and Den - and that was a "delightful" experience when Den walked in and started yelling, tables crashing - I thought we were all going to perish or someone was going to get killed (at first). It was memorial. Riccardo trying to figure out if Nancy C or I was the hardest to understand. DJ with hair. Jonny's famous beer run.... Leaving Kip on the curb at the airport without saying goodbye. (He called me when he got home and commented -- I told him I just didn't want to see him cry) Nashville -- Going shopping with Jayne and DD (poor DD will never be the same) The liquor store with Jayne (DD sat in the truck) Dinner with Chuck and his hit at the restaurant Seeing Big Dan white as a sheep when he saw someone get hit. Meeting Carl after all these years Trying to figure out who everyone was from their screen names. Trying to sleep thru a party of drunks in my room (I remember Nancy and Bill talking when I went "out".) All in all they've all been memorial and meeting others is the best thing .... Hugs BD |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by FramCire on May 26th, 2006, 8:59am I have only met Jonny once, but it seems like everytime he is around, there is focus on his crotch (at least in pictures). I have only met a few Chers and never been to a convention, but meeting the people I have was very important to me. It was awesome to have a night out and be reminded that these guys (and gal) all had CH and still lived normally. Also, everytime I have met a CHer, they have made it so comfortable it was like returning home to family. I am so excited for all of you going to Milwaukee. Have a great time and PLEASE try not to take any more pictures of Jonny's crotch. |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Roxy on May 26th, 2006, 10:24am There are so many moments there is no way to pick just one. One moment that I think did some good was Dr. Marcelo Bigal sitting through a hit with me in New York. He had never witnessed an actual cluster attack before. He was amazed. Sleeping in bunk beds with Mast. I was on the bottom and damn near threw her out of bed when I got hit....whacked my head good on that bed. She very sweetly climbed down and then proceeded to teach me how to breathe through a hit. Sitting in the back room of our cabin in New York and laughing harder than I have ever laughed in my life with Mast, E, Deb, Cat, Linda and Deej. E and her boobs.....saying, "Will this help?" as she raised her shirt. You just had to be there.... ;;D. Not at a convention, but at a little get together at Mr. Happy's house....driving through a blizzard with Cat, Hap and Joe trying to find a bar. |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Ghost on May 26th, 2006, 10:39am Just meeting a few of you friday in Dallas I took a long lunch to meet some but was not able to return, it was the best and worst 2 hours ever. BTW Helen gives the best hugs ever! ;;D :-X :o Mom(Nani) that smile says it all. Everyone there you could see in there eyes the caring and love for each other. Was heart broken to have to go back to work knowing I may not make it back. Just wished I could have met more while I was there. :'( :'( :'( Mike |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Jimi on May 26th, 2006, 10:54am Like many of you, my most vivid memory is seeing another clusterhead get hit for the very first time. For me it was at Atlanta. Ruthie, myself, DJ, Elaine, LindaH and Jayne were at the bar talking when Linda got hit. I spotted it immediately. She takes off to the bathroom and after a moment Elaine follows her in. Shortly after, Elaine runs out and digs in her purse for a imetrex shot and runs back in. A few minutes later they come out and head to the lobby of the hotel and Jonny spots her, picks her up and carries her to her room. It was a first for me and others at the table too. It shook us up. I will never forget that. |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by minnie on May 26th, 2006, 11:02am I'm gonna be a renagade like the rest and pick more then one thing :P You can't stop me miss Prez Donna lOL :P kinda funny cuz I have only been to one convention.I did talk to many people at the NY convention by phone thanks to Billy.The only thing is he just handed people the phone and never told either of us who we were talking to(the goober) ::) Nashville was the convention I went to. #1 memory watching two of my family (Leesa & Dave) get maried :) Billy and I drove and because we got off at the wrong exit and took some time to stretch and figure out the route our lives were probably saved.A tandum truck we played leap frog wit5h almost the whole trip and a elderly couple we saw a few times at rest areas were in a awful crash and I don't believe either people in the car survived :'( to say we were shook up is a understatement.Never had the heart to find out for sure I just pray I am wrong. We drove to the airport no one knew we were there but we ran into Dave got hug and off to meet others. I saw Jonny for the first time while he was coming down the escalater.All I'm gonna say is boy does Jonny love his luggage [smiley=ohjez.gif] those there know exactly what I mean LOL. There was this Limo driver waiting for his pickup and Jonny convinced him he was the guy.After seeing Jonny on the escalater he was relieved when Jonny finally let him know he was kidding. Soda run with Woobie and Kevin M I had fun.I love my woobie.. Of course meeting alot of my CH family.I hope to see you all again and meet more of you.I too can say I had the honor of meeting KIP and Judy...may they rest in eternal peace. |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Racer1_NC on May 26th, 2006, 11:06am Nashville ’04: Nervously walking onto the patio not really knowing who was there….Leesa walked up, asked who I was, gave me a big hug and proceeded to make me feel right at home. I’ll never forget that. Sitting down a few times to talk with Tracy and after a couple of minutes she’d run off to fight the beast. I told her then I must be her trigger. LOL I still kinda wonder if I am. Leesa and Dave’s wedding. The look on my wife’s face when she saw people get hit and how they described the lengths they’d go to make the pain stop. I was understood after that. Having the feeling that I had came home. Dallas ’05: Seeing even more of my friends for the first time. Watching Helen give Frank a hard time all weekend. (Where is Frank?) Seeing other convention “Newbies” experience what I had experienced the year before. Playing dueling cameras with the Warden. Not a convention, but very memorable..... LilDeb’s M&G: Meeting my first clusterheads. Like looking in a mirror. Talking at great length with Thomas, Dan, and Vig. Davcon..... Seeing a close friend get hit for the first time. I still remember the pain I felt watching that. |

NASHCON: The Clusterhead that just happened to be staying at the hotel. The look on his face when he, not only met his FIRST Clusterhead (jonny), but went to the patio and met 100 of them. :o I could go on and on. So many memories of laughter, sadness and joy. No words can describe the bond that this family has. You're the best, see you in Milwaukee !!! |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by wildhaus on May 27th, 2006, 6:23am Going through this thread I start to doubt my decision to come….. Besides the fun of meeting ppl.and having fun with them, if I got it right - one (of many) of the most memorable events was …. seeing another CH get hit…. and I am not so positive I am looking forward to seeing this…. If nothing else, most likely this will put me out of denial….. and most likely at last understand what I have to deal with, Oh well, one has to face the music sooner or later…. I just hoped it will be the later, and now the inevitable is soon to be…….. and still looking so much forward to see you all! Michael |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by Cathi04 on May 27th, 2006, 8:48am I've only made it to one so far.........that was Nashville. After a long day at work, still in work clothes, never sleeping on the flight-it was from the ridiculous to the sublime, as I headed down the escalator and saw this big ole Viking, smiling from ear to ear, and the kindest, funniest and most caring Luke waiting for me. I dont have a clue what happened to my suitcase, but it made it, too! Between that arrival, and my return home I would have to write all day, so, quite briefly, Luke and his dedication to Chuck-WOW! Frank, always being EVERYWHERE! Svenn and Bente-the BEST! Linda, checking in on me to be sure I wasnt in overload.well, I was-but I needed it. Stephanie(you brat).trying to drown me in the pool..remember sweetness, stealth and experience will overcome youth and strength any day! I think we need to start one for Meet N greets! Cathi, who learns everyday from this loving bunch OMG! And how could I forget the Woob-always there! Did that girl sleep at ALL??????? Oh, and the night on the town.....KOP and Ramon and a whole lotta blues bars!!!! Whatta ball!!! LOL..and the Wax Museum?? Cornball stuff had me laughing for days!!!! |

Title: Re: If you had to pick one... Post by E-Double on May 27th, 2006, 9:02am *The first Clusterhead I ever met was Kim H. We lived 5 minutes from eachother so we decided to meet up for a cup of coffee. We knew right away who eachother was. It's kinda strange how we all just seem to know. All it takes is the subtlest neck rub or head tilt and ya just know that there is another one ;;D It was like an immediate bond. *On the board I became friends with my now sister Rori (Lionsound). She was visiting NY and staying with close friends. That was an instant bond!!!!!!! It is ironic that it took her coming to NY for me to also meet after many years family members of mine. The people she was staying with were first cousins of my stepfather. Go figure! What a small world! * I have only been to one convention which was last yr's in Dallas. I received the honor of Supporter of the Year. That was so very special and still is as I truly feel that if I can provide an inkling of the support that I have found here than at least 1 person will not go insane from this. I've had many laughs, cries and smiles from all of you so it is very difficult to pick just one. E |
