Friday-I heard by many that they were relieved J wasn't coming, and so was I. I was nervous about bringing Nick, but you guys...as always didn't disappoint me. Thank all of you for making him feel at home. He felt the love and had an awesome time. The pool party WAS a gathering to reconnect with family members. It turned into something more. The music was legendary, thank you to the NH club for making all of it happen. Seeing Frinzi "relaxed" almost cracks me up! I was looking forward to this more than the actual show....WAS! And yes, Andrea, I think that really was Nancy's room, she was just "busy."
Saturday-How nice was it to have another day of not having to babysit someone and not worry WTF was going on. Andrea, you are certainly my sister from another mother. Nancy, I am sooooooo glad it worked out for the best!!! I would have certainly been freaking out if I were you. Dave, I am pretty sure I ate more than what I paid for this time. But holy crap....the food was AWESOME!!!! I am also glad you got to sit and enjoy things for a change! Bill, you were an equal work horse, but you get better percs! How refreshing was it to just relax and have fun again with my family. I actually had the honor of passing the duck on to Cinci. Course, Kate was not so accepting but I apparently I did pass the torch to capable hands! And the show....THE SHOW! As luck would have it, I could sway with Mitch again during Pirates. I could sway with my buddy Mitch for Paris. And the ending.....WOW.....F'in WOW....you knew it was something special as it was unfolding. And for you locals, if you want people to notice your boobs or pecs, just wear the "I still call it GW's" shirt. The staff love it as much as many of the concert go'ers. The parking lot leaving stunk, but I was glad I could just sit and chill Libby and Dale, and Jen at the end. That was awesome!
Sunday-I don't really care what the weather is, when I am with family, it is all good! The Combah didn't disappoint. Walking around Ptown during Bear weekend when you have someone who looks like a Bear couldn't have ended badly, but worth the chuckle. And speaking of chuckling. Seriously......OMFG! I love you peeps south of the PA line. I have lot laughed so hard in a long time!!!! I thought it was foggy when I woke up, but come to find out, my glasses were stained with tears. That night was the best night I will never remember!!!!
Thank you Dave and Carol for opening up the house to us on Sunday. Thank you BN for accepting Nick with open arms. Thank you Dave for feeding me!
But most importantly, thank you for trusting me to lead the charge into GW's!!!! The caravan wasn't as big as it usually is. And I was nervous as a WalMart employee opening the door on Black Friday. I did lead the charge, and yes, I might have left a little early, which is why I was watching my speed, but there were many things that worked in our favor. It was a real honor to do it, knowing I have only been in the group for a little over 5 years.
LMAO....Tommy and Jon, if you are lucky, I might let you be MY wing man! Thanks Tam for training me well!
Love you guys...this weekend was legendary for me!!!!!

While driving in to the lot Saturday a black Volvo with Ontario plates a few spots ahead of us in the left lane abruptly made a U-Turn into on coming traffic to leave. Security and the police starting yelling at them to get back in line. The 4 guys in the car all wearing orange shirts and white hats said "We made a terrible mistake, we thought this was the line for golf course" they pleaded with the police and were set free.

Those hosers were right in front of me and they almost got our group split up.

We saw that car in line behind us but couldn't figure out what was going on. We did figure it wasn't one of our group since we were all much too organized to have anyone needing to make a U-turn!

Yep, they were right behind us and I was trying to figure out what was going on. They cut if front of Nancy (Lime Rickie) who was right behind us on the road to the entrance.
I thought they realized they were with the wrong group or forgot their tix and were going back to the hotel to get them. That was also about the spot where the lot guys wanted to split the group at the car in front of us (I forgot who it was (alcohol memory loss I tell ya) but talked about it in the lot). Then they tried to get me to go to the left and I started speaking very loud, pointing at the awesome dash sign and the cars in from and behind saying "We're all together" as I passed him. He seemed to stop trying to split us after that but Lime Rickie would know for sure.
Oh and BTW BOR, I zoomed in on your BN badge in one of the pix and it seems to say "BobbleOfRum" which is ingenious if you think about it

BIG thanks to everyone, once again a REALLY great time! The pool party was a nice preparty to get us ready for Saturday. Chef Dave the food was wonderful and I'm so glad you were able to get out from under the tent and walk around this year. Waitresses Barb and Nancy did outstanding work as well. Tig you are just the best caravan leader, EVER, not sure how many teenagers you paid off to get that parking spot...LOL! You can be my sister anytime (stupid squirrels - they were everywhere
![cheeky-grin [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]](./images/smilies/cheeky-grin.gif)
) Colleen I love hanging out with you. I will be a lookout for the Harem girls anytime but I still don't know where you got that motorboating idea. Remember when you told the guys walking by "Happy Buffett Day" and they had no idea what you were talking about? I still laugh at your responce of "What the F*** are you here for"!
Nancy, remind me to never give you any of my keys

glad Andrew could save the day. Thanks for letting me hang w/ you during the show. My seat neighbors didn't even know the songs from the yellow album and they seemed to have no personality. Bill thank you for my body art! I know you enjoy it but you sure did work your butt off (hope you didn't get mad that we made you take a break). Mitch thanks for the Fireball, always fun hanging out with you and Bets. And of course Mom and Dad (Linda and Kevin), you guys are always so good to me! Loved being able to hang with y'all during the concert if only for a few songs. I will follow you anywhere...heard there was a restraining order but I never got it
After 4 years I'm still trying to put faces w/ BN names so I appologize for those I didn't mention but this GW group is the BEST and I appreciate the warm welcome and stories that you all have given me each year!
you all give me each year
