It looks like devriesj is on the definitely list.

I'm down to "probably not", as it is looking less and less likely as the day approaches, though it's still not completely impossible.

Well, compared with sublime's list, wandel should be added to "Definitely" as well:

So far the guest list consists of:

Walter Hintelar, Occom Bill, Yitwail, Mac11, RealJohnBoy, CI, Timber, Osso, Eva, Wandel, and Joefromhere (albeit missing a last name).

I still need info from Georgeob, Thomas, Brooke, devriesj, and anyone else that wants to come.

Soz, I'm sorry you might not make it. I have always enjoyed your posts. I think you're a wonderful person. Someone I would love to meet. I truely hope something changes and you can make it.

0 Replies

Me too, soz.

Really wish you'd reconsider and make it a priority.

Would love to give you a big hug...especially for all the help you've given me re: hearing problems. You were a real lifesaver.

0 Replies

Aw, you're sweet, guys. I'd definitely want to meet both of you -- consider yourselves hugged whether I'm there or not. But yeah, in person... and there are so many others I want to meet, too...

Oof, we'll see. Things have been way too crazy around here (last week E.G. flew to CA Sunday afternoon, flew back on the redeye [midnight --> 9:30 AM] to arrive Tuesday morning, went to the office, came home for about half an hour, then took off for Washington DC). It's been like that a LOT, and we have a bunch of family trips coming up.

If only my lobbying for having the gathering in Columbus would've been successful... ;-)

Still an outside possibility though, we'll see.

Make it happen, Soz!

My own dates have changed, somewhat. I'll still make the Duke of Perth and the main gathering but will have to cut out early Monday morning. The new restaurant's admittedly optimistic target opening date was April 24th, but because of delays caused by the previous tenant; it's been pushed back a week. :sad: Because of "previous commitments", I've decided to push it back another week. :wink: My partner (who I think I've mentioned is the coolest guy on planet earth), has given me the go ahead to take the final weekend of preparation off. See you at the Duke!

I'm not going to be able to make it. Sorry.

I'll second that.

A proposal that the next A2K gathering be held in Oswaldtwistle United Kingdom

0 Replies

Mathos-

Do you realise that A2K has 57,199 members and they'll all want to come to Oswaldtwistle.

Hadn't you better contact the Chief Constable.

0 Replies

I am fully aware of the implications which will arise in Oswaldtwistle, I am certain the Borough Council can cope quite well Spendius.

The Chief Constable is apparently a member of A2k and it is at his behest that I have made the proposition.

0 Replies

Well Mathos-

Don't forget to tell him that the 50 or so who will,might,or might not go to Chicago probably won't wish to repeat the experience so he only really need deal with about 57,150, in round numbers,which is less than I had previously thought of catering for.

Have the fish and chip shops been notified and the curators of the Pendle Witches Howsyourfather and Malham Cove Waterfall. They still do cod and haddock in that area I gather. It's very posh you know. There's no vulgarity in Oswaldtwistle.

Thomas, would you please change my name to my poster name, ossobuco... I'd appreciate it. 'tis has been a bit of a thwapping battle to get it spelled right all this time. Some a2ker's I like keep spelling it wrong.

0 Replies

Oswaldtwistle - that's the place I was run out of town! Can we meet somewhere outside town? I was only asking for proper fish'n'chips. Sheeesh!
