GWC 1st Annual Nat'l Meetup: March 20-22, 2009 (Frisco, TX)

Just want to pop in and say, you guys have fun! Make it epic! :smiley:

Wish I could be there! I even have to watch the final episode after it’s over (Thank God for DVR!).

Have a great time everyone!

Myself and Beef are present ant accounted for.

I think I may head over there for dinner around 5:00.

(still can’t believe there is no food/drink allowed in the viewing room)

I misread that the first read through that none would be provided…and now see that none is allowed. :frowning: Oh well.

See everyone for Happy hour later! My few pics from lunch are up in the Flickr pool now. Frakkin camera better work right tonight. :frowning:

I’m not. I’m still seathing with jelousy that I can’t go.

I’ll deal with these personal issues after the episode tonight though.

Oh good, I’m not the only one! :smiley:

Definitely not the only one.

After seeing what turned out to be an epic, thrilling, intense, moving, lyrical, beautiful finale, I wish I’d gotten to see it with my GWC friends. Still, what a moving ending that was. I hope the crowd in Frisco had as good a time as I did with my wife in our darkened living room (well, my old roommate Chuck was virtually in the room too, via text messaging).

I have much to say, but I’m tired and need to hit the hay.

I’m getting ready to check out of the hotel and wanted to post a quick message to all who attended:

It was a great pleasure to meet everyone, though I don’t think I managed to meet all who attended. It’s been a great weekend spent with what feels like old friends after 2+ years of my being on the blog and forum.

Many, many thanks to Sean, Audra and Chuck for all they did to make this fantastic meetup happen and all of the activities they had planned to keep up a very hospitable and social gathering for us.

I hope everyone traveling home today and tomorrow has a safe journey. I look forward to seeing you all again at next year’s meetup (NOT In Peoria Audra cause Sean’s right it sucks)!!

So here’s to many more GWC Nat’l Meetups in the future!

Yes. So say we all!

And thanks for posting your pictures, Gryper :slight_smile:

Total 6 hour drive from OKC to TX - 2 tanks of gas
Discounted rate for 1 night stay at Hilton Homewood Suites - $89.00 + tax
Hearing Beef yell “THAT’S OUR MOON, BITCHES!” - totally and completely priceless.

Thanks to Audra, Chuck and Sean for a wonderful meetup and everyone who came to share an experience that I will never forget.

And, special kudos for Beef: I will keep that line wrapped tight in my head forever whenever I re-watch the show.

I had a wonderful time. 100% success in my book. Can’t wait for next time. Thank you guys for putting this together.

Am home and it’s soooo quiet. I had one of the best weekends I’ve ever had in my life. To those who couldn’t make it, please know that you were thought of often- really.

Thank you to our great crew for opening their lives, hearts and home to all of us. This is the best community in the verse!

Thanks for the ride from the airport, Gryper! Hope you had a good trip home.

I just got home, and must tear myself away from the forum to go to bed. Anybody else home yet?

You’re very welcome Glim! :smiley: Glad you got a ride back to the airport. I thought about that this morning before I left. I got home about 3:30 this afternoon. I’m still looking at everyone’s pictures in the Flickr pool.

You’re welcome. :slight_smile: I tried to get names in the descriptions and hopefully got all of them right now.

My new Bedtime Bear and I just got home too – I’m re-watching the finale and then promptly going to bed.

It was so awesome to meet you, Dawn, Gryper, and everyone else! I can’t think of any other crowd I would have rather watched the finale with!
