Who needs pictures, when you’ll get the real thing Saturday?

I suddenly feel I may have to eat my words. I guess it depends on how tasty it is. Tasteful! I meant tasteful! 
Aww, I have to clock in at 2:00 or I’ll be tardy. Plus, I called in sick last Sat so I could go camping. Don’t wanna make them too mad…
I guess that means maybe next time?
Ringo,
Thanks for the personal invite; see you there.

I’m flattered and look forward to meeting you, too…[and swear I’m not a stalkee (sp?) most of the time too! 
]
See y’all tomorrow!
Oh man! I forgot to make a table sign at work. Oh well, it’ll be a bit on the homemade side.
Is it too late to get bumped back up to the Attendee list? I’m not going to be working tomorrow after all!
:robgruver rides through the streets:
Mamapotomus is coming! Mamapotomus is coming!
Mamapotomus! Yay!
One last ride down the front page of MPSIMS, collecting stray Texan Dopers as we go…
Two o’clock, y’all! Today!
Need any shameless stray bumps from Phoenix dopers who are also meeting at 2:00 p.m. today? 
A bit more than an hour to go. Might be running late myself, as I am waiting for Mrsrobgruver to get off work.
Bumpity.
Hurry guys, get going!
And when you get back, don’t spare me any of the details.
Leaving now.
We have lift-off! TheFunkySpaceCowboy has taken off and is en route for Joe’s with one refueling stop along the way. See ya’ll soon!
The wife just arrived and leaving the house. See all ya’ll soon!
Woo Woo!! The first to post after the dopefest.
Mamapatomous, the link to that paintball park is http://www.promisedland.com/.
Here is the link to my original post.
I should have titled it better.
Well, I had an absolute blast. Next time, I’ll hopefully be a bit less shy and more talkative.
Much fun had by all.
Mamapatomous: I went to Bedrock on the way home and got comics… $57 bucks worth (but I did get a cool Spiderman shirt for $20).
Just got in - well, I stopped at a couple of pubs on the way home and ran into a pair of Irish gals I used to run with - fun day.
That was great! It’s always a kiick to renew acquaintance with the Dopers. Irishman has all the incriminating notes, so I’ll leave it to him to tarnish our good names.
Zap aand Road Rash - good to see you guys again (funny how some names lend themselves to shortening while others - ehh, not quite so much). Mamapatomous, I just wanna wind you up and listen to you talk - you entertain me so much. Good luck with the new venture.
Dolores (and Tom), man, I enjoyed talking with y’all. You are going to start that thread, aren’t you?
rob, good to see you, and I’m damn happy to have you back in the fold.
As always at 'fests, new acquaintance are a highlight. I didn’t get to talk to you much - something I’ll be making a point to address next time - but I was glad to see you there jin. Thanks for coming.
KAndre! Wow! I hope you’re staying with us. Go ahead and post - dive right in. Do like I do, post with both feet. Really, it was good to meet you, and I hope you become comfortable with sharing your thoughts with us.
Siegfried, I enjoyed putting a face with a name and what I’ve seen so far tells me you’ll fit right in here. Welccome.
Well, somebody had to come last, and I figured you could handle that, TheFunkySpaceCowboy. Only got to talk with you a little bit, but some, and you seem like a good guy. Welcome to you, too, pal.
The title for this gathering thread was a derivative of a lead line in an obscure '60s hit record by a Houston band. That would be Tighten Up by Archie Bell and the Drells. Not only did a few HouDopes get it, guess what came on the PA as soon as I got there!
Hey! We forgot to celebrate my birthday!
