I was in Philly years ago to attend a Star Trek Convention.

We were at the Bellevue Stratford...which later became famous as the origin point of 'Legionnaire's Disease'

Apple

Did ya dress up like a trekky?

No, I didn't...but trust me, there were PLENTY who did !!!

If I knew what to say, I'd say it... I just don't (yet) right now!

But at the very least, I think we shouldn't be getting mad/annoyed/whatever at each other, or otherwise this won't be that fun of a weekend. So stop, please. :p

But I, for one, wouldn't mind playing cabana boi at The Babe Estate!!

You're supposed to serve drinks when you are the cabana boy, not drink them!

Does this mean that we can now call you Mr. Babe's Bitch? Or did DMC take that honor at our last dinner?


Don Cardi

Don't worry JGeoff...just type what you're feeling and let 'er ride.

Don Cardi will let you know if you've gone too far and then you can just edit the post.

:p

Agreed, though...the time for being mad/annoyed/whatever at each other is over. Let's all look forward to a fun weekend, evening, dinner, whatever it ends up being in August.

Apple

I know we're all adults and not babies and you wouldn't think this would happen but....

One thing I'd fear, should there be two separate hotels, is the possibility that we eventually get divided into two groups. You know, where one group from one hotel will end up eating here and the other group end up eating there, without anyone intentionally trying to separate themselves from the others. Know what I mean?

Now granted there may be sites/touristy things that some want to see, and others don't (like in Chicago, I was the only one who didn't go to the ballgame. Everyone understood since sports isn't my thing), but sort of like the family (kind of) that we are, I think eating meals together and talking, laughing is the main reason for our get-togethers no? Ok, and perhaps a blue drink or two. :p

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

TIS

Don't worry JGeoff...just type what you're feeling and let 'er ride.

Don Cardi will let you know if you've gone too far and then you can just edit the post.



Apple [/b][/quote]You know somwthing Apple? Your arrogance is plain out disgusting! Obviously by your posts here, this is a joke to you. Well it's not. Especially to Mig and Tis.


SB and I have sincerely tried, through all of this, to find a reasonable solution without hurting anyone, especially Mig, Becky and Tis.

And what have you done? You posted your cheerleading graemlens and your rah rah bullshit.

No need for the sarcasm Apple, it's not productive at all.

Now I'm letting you know that you've gone too far. And you can't edit my post!


Don Cardi

You are so right Apple. Please everybody let's not have another day of the cry baby bullshit. I don't want to have another headache today.

Fight! Fight! :p

If you could only see some of the PM's I've gotten, you would know that THAT is bull.

Now, this has NOT been a joke to me. It's in fact been very sad. I'm not the only one around here that uses sarcasm in posts. As far as I can see, the matter is settled. I'll see you in August.

Apple

Not if I see you first! :p


Don Cardi

Gone camping,
AppleOnYa

Damn.... if this is just the prelim, can you imagine what the main event will be like?

Why don't we all take a day off from this thread??

SC : (exhales, bows his head; physically shaken and weakened) "I want -- all inquiries made. I want no acts of vengeance. I want you to arrange a meeting, with SB, CARDI & APPLE. This war stops now."


Don Cardi

Aw, SC, you know how much fun we have when we all see one another. I'm sure this will all work itself out. Personally, if Becky was going to make inquiries at the other Hilton, and could maybe do something, I think it's an option to be considered. If not, then we stay put. Does that sound reasonable??? Or is that too much?? If so, then Hilton Garden Inn it is!!

I hate to be a party pooper again but I just talked to my daughter and she say's she is very sorry but she won't be able to help this time cuz she is to busy with her job duties and tomorrow she is coming up to ohio for our vacation. I am sorry I tried. Don't yell at me

Is there some kind of covention in chicago every year? I don't personally know anyone on here but am curious?

They move 'em around.

Though they have yet to come to Pittsburgh.. *ahem*. :p

Bogz,

Can you imagine how great it would be for us to have a BB convention in Pittsburgh?

They were talking about trying to plan the 2007 Convention closer to the West Coast. Possibly Vegas.

But...am sure everyone will be open to suggestions!

Looking forward to THAT thread which, if this year is any indication will probably begin once everybody gets home & unpacks from Philly - 2006!!

Apple

Once we get home nothing!!! :p Hell, I've got my sales pitch all set for presentation. Contracts in hand..either your signature or......well, you know what I mean.

TIS

That's pretty funny, TIS !!!

Well, can I at least have dinner before my brains end up on that contract???

Remember, my daughter will be present (hell, she'll probably try to talk me into it) ...

Apple

Why are you sorry? We all appreciate that you and Becky got us the rooms in the first place. So we stay where we are already booked. No big deal.

Thanks again Mig for all your hard work and your effort. I think that we all owe you and Becky a drink when we get to Philly. It's the least that we can do.


(now would sombody please PM Apple to complain about what I just said? )


Don Cardi

Sure would be nice. We could eat some Primanti Bros. sandwiches.. amaaaaazing. Go watch the Pirates/Penguins lose. Visit BenBen in the hospital.. oh wait, he was released. Nevermind. :p Though I'm sure by the time theres a convention there, someone else from the Steelers will either be in the hospital or jail.

Who wants to come to my house?

You're allowed to smoke.
Outside...

You're allowed to drink all you want.
BYOB, however.

No charge for the rooms.
"Rooms," meaning in the back yard, in a sleeping bag, with my cats sniffing/meowing/cuddling at/with you.

Internet access is available for the fantasy nerds.
For a small fee - I believe DC refers to this as "points."

Baseball will be on constantly, for any fans.
Surely the Yankees/Mets or other fans wouldn't mind switching to the Astros for the weekend? I mean, is team loyalty really that big of a deal? We can bond over Sportscenter.

Food will be served.
If you convince my parents to cook, you'll end up with a great meal of homemade pizza, lasagne, sfingi, and pizzelles. If you leave it up to me, it's frozen pizza and homemade cookies.

Weather.
Didn't say good weather. We do have weather, though! Hot...humid...Houston.

Doesn't that sound nice?!

Well, the only true reason for why it would be nice is it'd be a heck of a lot closer for TIS.

Just trying to lighten the mood in here - I really do admire that y'all are putting this together, because I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to make all of these arrangements and fit everyone's needs. Hope it works out.

Sure, it'll work out.

Nothing a few Nicorette's can't remedy.

Apple

You mine as well have said "GEOFF, do you want to come to my house?" instead of "Who."


Don Cardi

Why are you sorry? We all appreciate that you and Becky got us the rooms in the first place. So we stay where we are already booked. No big deal.

Thanks again Mig for all your hard work and your effort. I think that we all owe you and Becky a drink when we get to Philly. It's the least that we can do.

Don Cardi [/b][/quote]Prego.(that is the word for your welcome right?)

DC- How long have we been talking to each other now? You know how I am. Stoopida focking hotel

DC, I think you missed a few of my "notes" there. :p

Without them, though...you're right. Perfect for Geoff.
