The corresponding "Welcome OpalCat to Atlanta" party!

Just my luck…I only run across these threads AFTER the event has occurred.

If not for the Falcon’s game (if you could call it a game), I would have been interested in meeting some local Dopers…

Keep your eyes peeled, AZCowboy, there are sure to be more events in the future!

I had fun! Woohoo!

Thanks for coming out, guys :slight_smile: I just woke up, btw…

We had a great time! And for those who didn’t show: we drank your drinks, we ate your pie, we had your fun - so next time show up and eat your own damn pie (or chocolate mousee-filled chocolate teacup covered with strawberries and whipped cream and raspberry sauce) because I think I’m still full.

And for best legs at the party - we have a winner for each gender: OpalCat looked just plain gorgeous, and UncleBill looked pretty damn cute in that skirt, and he knew it, too.

that would be chocolate mousse, not chocolate rodent

Uncle Bill was in a skirt??? And I missed it??? DAMN!!!

He looked like this, though of course it’s always better to see these things in person.

He looks fabulous! I’ve always wanted to get Dear Robert into a kilt, cuz he’s got the best-looking legs of any man I know. (Sorry, Uncle Bill, I gotta call 'em like I see 'em. Course I might be biased.)

Sorry I had to leave y’all early. It was a pleasure meeting OpalCat, jugglerdan and herownself, and good to see Geobabe and UncleBill again.

Sorry I missed it! I had a late-breaking assignation. I’ll be at the next one for sure!

Sorry I missed it. Had a last minute cash flow problem. I’ll make the next one fo’ shure.

Sorry I missed it as well. I was afraid I was being incredibly optimisitic when I said we’d be done with our MLK service project in time to join y’all. We worked on the house from 9:00 AM to 6:00 pm, and by the time I got home, got cleaned up and changed, it was nearly 7:00 - and frankly, I was beat! Plus, I knew I had to be back at the project the next morning at 8:00, didn’t need to be hungover.

Actually we worked on the house until 6:30 Sunday as well, then two other houses on Monday. But we pressure washed and painted the first house, plus built a new crawspace door, shored up a rotten floor joist, and replaced the screens on the front porch. We built new back stairs for the second house, and cleared a huge pile of trash from the back yard of the third house.

I have to come to work today to rest up!

Well, I wasn’t sure I’d be welcome, since this was all planned while I was a guest member and all…

…but if there is ever another Georgia Doper gathering, please let me know!

Thanks!

Nonsense! Guests, lurkers, friends-of-friends, and significant or insignificant others are always welcome! As I recall, there wasn’t a hell of a lot of “Board Talk” anyway.

We are ANYTHING but exclusive around here!
