(Heh, no pics to add that haven't been covered. My daughter had the camera, and wgat we got was LOTS of kitty pics.)

(P.S. Princess B, her name is Brianna, or Bri for short.)

I definitely had a blast and look forward to when we can do it again. Its nice getting to meet new people, especially since I'm usually shy about doing so, but I am slowly over coming that thanks to all the great furs I have met (and lots of dragging around by Leo).

PrincessB, I'll second that. (You're just a youngster, TM.) It happens to all of us.

BTW, every fur that was here last weekend, Sig and Patty will be coming through on their way back this weekend, and we've decided to go to the Hermitage Cafe, on Hermitage Drive in Nashville, for breakfast Sunday morning. You are all invited.

Tentative time is 9am, let me know if that works for you. I'll also be sending this out by email, to every fur whose email addy I have.

Let me know if you need directions.

Nicolai Very Happy

Yeah, it actually never crossed my mind to try and set up something. We only had about 3 weeks notice (about twice as much notice as we had last year before going to Florida) and I didn't tell many that I was going away.

Looks like we are currently about an hour south west of you Tommy, though when we were coming here the GPS sent us screwy so the route we took got us even closer to you. We are currently in Southern Pines, NC visiting IT's grandparents (yesterday was their 60th wedding anniversary). We got in yesterday afternoon, tomorrow we are going to Wrightsville Beach, NC (I MISS THE OCEAN!) then will head back towards home early Sunday morning.

Cool! Say hello to NC for me. I know the area pretty well. I was stationed at Pope AFB (Ft. Bragg/ Fayetteville) for 2 years in the early 80's. had some great times at teh beaches around Wilmington. Have a great time!

Sorry that I can't make it. But, let's do another sort of get-together again soon!

I would very much like to do another get-together, especially since I'm scheduled for shoulder surgery July 18 and would like to have something to look forward to in order to take my mind off of the twelve weeks work I'm going to miss. I'd suggest that, given that we all just met up recently and since I also wanna be healthy enough to come, mid-August (indoors!) might be a good time. As for a venue...

We can, at various levels of expense, simply go to a coffee-house and "take over", plan a meal out at anything from a fast-food place on up, or rent a conference room at a hotel and do a sort of mini-con (though I think we ought to work our way up to this last one).

Another alternative, which worked _magnificently_ for another semi-furry small-group get-together I was part of once, might be to rent a pontoon boat overnight on either Percy Priest, Kentucky, or Old Hickory Lakes. (You don't actually stay out all night, but rather come back to dock at 2AM or so.) There's something about being on a boat that just makes things twice as fun and memorable. The biggest problem is bathroom issues-- the better the lavatory facilities, the more you pay. If we get as many as 6-7 people involved, it might even be a cheap night. We could barbecue, RP, fish, or all of the above all at once. If there's enough interest, I'll research prices. It would be useful to know ahead of time, if people like the idea, how much they are prepared to spend. Or, alternatively, I'll be glad to find a restaurant for us to meet in, etc.
