Have fun, everyone! I think it's so exciting that the first official TVCH gathering is about to begin. It's really cool that the SoCal group will be a part of it, too!

Hubby and I just got in from Christmas party. We are so psyched about tomorrow. I CAN HARDLY WAIT. Neil, so glad you remembered teeshirts on your list. Don't worry about a sign...I know we will be the happy excited diners!!!! I've already decided what to wear, its what to eat that has me miffed. OK off to see if anyone is in chat and then to bed. See you today,

i think we should start taking wilson wilson shots...you know, the hidey ho neighbor of tim and jill taylor? we could just hide most of our faces. GAL and Colossus started that trend with their 'pineapple faces'.

Table is reserved under my name, Neil, for 12:30pm.

I'm trying to get there early, then I'll make a small sign that says TVCH and put it on the edge of the table.

Cheers!

Hooray, off to Ottawa I go. I was not able to make arrangements for the laptop, sorry chatters, but I promise to post as soon as I get back either Saturday night, or early Sunday morning. Hippy, Square and Reader, I will accomplish the mission. Wappy

I don't know who this guy is, but he was pissing me off! I guess his wife was really boring...he couldn't stop looking at us, especially when the t-shirts came out! Finally I just took his photo.

YAY!!!!

I'm dying laughing here, Admin. I love that you posted the picture of the annoying guy before you posted the picture of the group.

So glad it was a good meeting! I can't wait to hear more details :)

Well, here's my perspective. I have the worst chapped lips in the world! I mean, the sides of my lips are all red and cracked...I think it's the cold weather combined with carpet dust from some old carpet I was removing this week. Anyhow, I almost wanted to not show because I'm so embarrassed (or is it because I'm so vain?). I decided to go though, armed with a good tube of chapstick!

Everyone was really nice and we're all very unique. Everyone wanted photos with me, ME!? Why me? Okay, I know why, but in my own head I'm just a regular guy...actually I suffer from low self-esteem, but that's another story.

Wapland wanted to pinch my butt, I asked Mr. Wapland if he minded. She's not a very good pincher I found out. Mr. Wap said she's better at spanking! I said bring it on! :)

Oh ya, we had food...it was good. Everyone got a free T-shirt, compliments of me. They went over well. People in the restaurant (like the man above with the boring wife) were staring, especially when we were talking on the phone to the GTers in California, "Is this Egbok?? Hey Karuuna!! Yes, Neil is here and so is Wapland and Habsgirl!" They think we're all strange, and we probably are, but who cares.

I knew I'd have to field questions about the three M's, and I did. Moderation, Money and Male-chauvanism. Yes, Admin is a dog. Yes, you can be a dog and a computer geek at the same time! :) No, I'm not getting rich from TVCH, but yes you can send money, it all goes towards monthly and annual expenses. Nobody likes being moderated, but it's what the majority want and it is a lot of why tvch is successful!

Just for the record, I don't like being called the Big Kahuuna or God, but I understand why I'm called this. There's an old saying, it goes something like this....I had Indian food last night and my shit stinks just like everyone elses, just so you know. :) hehehe..

Overall it was a good time and we all hated to leave, we'll have to do it again! Thanks you guys!

Neil - I can't believe how quickly you posted the pictures!! It was great to meet you in person and Wapland & hubby and Habsgirl. Also great to talk to the Califonia bunch ... but cell phones are nothing like really meeting. Count me in for next time.

Aren't digital cameras great!? I guess my review is very self-centered eh? It was just meant as a personal review, from my perspective, not as a general review. Thank you for volunteering your cellphone...send me the bill!

Your lunch looked good, I should have had that!

Gotta go now...

No need to send anyone the bill!! It was a blast and I enjoyed every minute of it. Agree that none of us really wanted to leave. Seriously, Neil I certainly can afford the cell phone costs. I have a really good plan because I travel a lot for work (work doesn't pay ... I do - wouldn't want to leave the impression that I am using government resources). I haven't been away since September so had some time saved for today.

Well we are at friend's house using their computer and I don't have the pics printed yet. But I do have the pic of Neil's hot and sweaty ass being pinched by me especially for hippyt. And she thought I wouldn't be able to. We had a fabulous time guys and were so thrilled to meet each of you. Neil is exactly as you would imagine him to be ...holier than thou, and very straightlaced...
NOT!!!! He is right about the indian food shit thing. What a great guy who truly is humble about this terrific place he has created. So I am wearing my teeshirt (and may never take it off, because the god himself touched it )and waiting for pictures to be printed. When I get to my own computer tomorrow I will scan them in. In the meantime, Alib and Habsgirl it was absolutely wonderful to meet you and the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. Thanks to all of you for the great date. Can't wait for the next one....and California gang, I was thrilled to hear your voices for real after so many years, and na na nanana, we had NEIL!!!! Wappy

p.s. Neil didn't have enough to pinch! btw hold tight for the glam shot of Neil, in leather, shades and under the Canadian flag.
