**Welbywife** and I are terribly sorry we missed it, but both of us forgot that we had family plans. I would much rather have been at the Dopefest than my grandmother’s birthday party, but hey, them’s the breaks. I swear by all that is holy I will make the next one. ---

A HUGE APOLOGY TO ALL!! Just as TeleTronOne hinted at, that post was totally not serious. Please believe me. We were just being silly, but what we really were was drunk. After everyone left, we decided to continue the drinking at a bar near my house. Then decided to do a little late-night posting. DUMB! PLEASE FORGIVE ME EVERYONE. (Hehehe, actually TeleTronOne was the genius who penned the post…I just sat nearby laughing 😉 Once again, everyone, we were not being serious! It was great meeting everyone. I am so upset now because I think everyone hates me now! \ **------------- Anita Vacation wrote: …and the devastatingly beautiful birdgirl and her very lucky boyfriend… -------------** \ Thanks for the wonderful compliment Anita! BUT I should let you know that my guest, Brian, is not my boyfriend. Nope, I am certainly single! Brian and I have been good friends since we were 12 years old and grew up together. We’re just good friends, nothing more! 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by RTFirefly \* > \*\*Hey, **birdgirl** , chill out just a moment. Chewing people out for not showing isn’t the ideal way to encourage them to come out for the next one. \*\* I want to post my apology once again to push this thread up to the top, to make sure everyone sees it! Just so everyone knows, we were just kidding! We werent _really_ chewing anyone out. Do y’all forgive me? :smack: Y’all are awesome people and it was great meeting everyone! ---

Harumph, and I was all set for a rebellious and belligerent retort! How vastly dissappointing…sigh, no, I would like to profer my apology for not-showing at the last moment, my father had a heart attack on Monday and I had to pick up and head home with a quickness. I neglected all online duties, but since I have since warned him that he’s not allowed any further coronary events without my signed and stamped approval, I should be more trustworthy for future events 🙂 I’m happy that everybody had a good time, next time sign me up for belligerent and/or silly drunken antics!
