Some seemingly nice people got me drunk, and when I woke up I was here surrounded by these crazy wonderful people. First time was at Camden this summer, where I met Blackjack and his wife, Flipflopgirl, nycport, and my brother by another mother moog. Then it was at a party here in CT where I met Zuke, Fu and Tommy Bahama. And just a week and a half ago, it was cincy, where I met NEIB, Txxagirl, Flock, CitCat, MarinGrita, R-squared (my arch-nemesis. :evil: :evil: :wink: ) and I know many others, but this time, when I say drunk, what I really mean is DRUNK, so it's possible that more people met me than I met.
well, there is that set of pictures from after your "nap" started.. you were popular with the boys from KY. :D
maybe that explains why I was walking funny...
just don't change your login to "NedBeatty" :D
Well, I was thinking about taking banjo lessons.
well, the boys did mention you had nimble fingers... for a drunk guy. :D

I organized a small get together in a bar before a show at MSG and A LOT of people from BN showed up.
About 300 :D
The rest, as they say, is history... [smilie=gt-happyup.gif]

Then last September I met a whole nestful at the Topless Phlocking. Yeah, I flew from PA to Florida for a party hosted by someone I'd never met. Hell, I'd never even met any of the other guest. And after 5 minutes it was like being with old friends - even got to witness an engagement. :D It was such a miserable experience, I'm doing it again this year. :lol:
Met some more at the Tampa concert in November and met about a gazillion more at the 2 Texas shows this year.
If you're going to a concert, just look for the "Who's going to ...... " thread and jump right in. You'll end up at a helluva tailgate surrounded by dozens (or hundreds!) of your new closest friends. 8)

If you're real lucky, you might even get lei'd by Santa!
Mrs Bits had that privilege in Houston ......

Hey IP, maybe you and I can get one together next summer.......

We should try to do this.... maybe we can get some east coast help...
Why wait until next summer? We phlock for whatever reason.....
Cool sunseeker, thanks for letting me know. I'll be looking for it. Sounds like a great time.

Fins up!!!!

I have to thank Txaggirl for me joining up.

I randomly decided I was going to attend the Houston concert this year, and I made a comment on the margaritaville cafe webpage and a few days later I got an email from Janice. I went to Buffettnews and discovered a whole bunch of new concert phriends. (I have been a huge Buffett fan but none of my friends are, so I didn't go to concerts) Now all I have to do is buy a ticket and I'm guaranteed to have a bunch of phriends that will join me in the passion for tailgating and listening to the man.

Thanks phriends!!! :D :D :D

Oh, and in the Houston concert I got to meet a bunch of BNers such as Phritz, Txaggirl, Sunseeker, Santa, Molly, the Pharms, Michael, Flipflopgirl, Jelloshotgirl, and whole bunch of others. Oh I better not forget Jerry, Larry, and R2... :roll:
