Sadly, KLT, BeforeISleep, Ventana, The Flag Waver, Rainbow Rising and Yehuda couldn't make it, and were missed by all. :(
Of course we all thank Alisasny for making this all happen -- and Jim Robinson, for without FreeRepublic, most of us would not know each other and we would not have been able to have such a fantastic afternoon! And I apologize if anyone's name was left off here.
Special thanks to Alisasny for organizing such a wonderful party, and welcome to our newest freeper Bunny2003.
Hey Grammymoon... nice interior upholstery!!!...LOL.
I'm so glad I got out of my sick bed, fought the traffic to the Holland Tunnel, and braved the maze of streets in Lower Manhattan. (I couldn't get angry at the mess that downtown is, as it all is a reminder of what was done to us and to those poor souls in the WTC.)
But -- I was glad I went, delighted to meet MadIvan and again see so many dear friends ---- and hope I didn't spread any viri around.
What a nice turnout! Lisa did a wonderful job and I'm sure she had her 'weather fingers' crossed. When an event is successful, it all looks so easy, but the 'behind the scene's work' is what makes it a success. Take a bow, Lisa!
It's fun to be with Freepers. I always find myself saying "I Freeped with so-and-so at this place or that place. I met so-and-so at that meeting or event. So-and-so did this or that with me (that doesn't sound right) together! It's just great being with like-minded people on the 'right' side!
Thank you JimRob for making this all possible!
