Seattle Freeper Meet Report!

My Memory | 3/28/02 | SW6906

[SW6906]

Saturday at noon, several of the Washington chapter met for lunch and mini get together at Ivar's on the Seattle waterfront. In attendance were: Holy Scroller & Holy Scroller Daughter, Macbeth, Billthedrill, Publius, Judai, Poised Woman, Libertina and of course myself.

We raised our glasses for our traditional toasts:

To President George Walker Bush, (man, it's a nice change to be able to toast your President!)
To our Godfather, Ronald Reagan,
To our spiritual Godfather, Barry Goldwater, and
To our host, Ivar Haglund (may he keep clam)

A great time was had by all, but by the time I remembered I had a camera, BilltheDrill had to leave, so we took a quick picture:

and then figured out we needed the flash.....You can barely tell, but that's (starting from the left) Judai, BilltheDrill, Poised Woman, Libertina, me, Publius, Macbeth, Holy Scroller and Holy Scroller Daughter.

By the time I figured the flash out and got ready for another picture, BilltheDrill had made his escape and Holy Scroller had left to find a cash machine, so all I got for a semi-quality group photo was Judai, Poised Woman, Libertina, Publius, and Macbeth:

No, Judai didn't just win the lottery, she was trying to figure out the bill when I said "smile!" Here's a better lighted shot of the same group, before they decided to look at the camera:

And lastly, here's a great shot of our gorgeous Libertina (too bad she has her eyes closed!) with Poised Woman getting ready for their picture-taking. I caught them off-guard!:

Well, that's all I can think to write and post, other attendees: please add what I've left off.

Sorry for the quality of the shots, but I wasn't prepared and it was rushed...

My first ever attempt at uploading and publishing pictures! It worked! I'm amazed! Now if I can just remember what I did......

[SW6906]

Well, I finally got it done! It was so nice today, I was outside for most it, enjoying the weather. Got my yard cleaned up, lawn mowed, boat cleaned up and ready for the season, and spent some quality time with my family. By the time I figured out how to upload images and get them to appear on this thread, it got to be this late. Sorry for the delay....

[SW6906]

Pinging the crowd....

[Publius]

Ah, how the sunlight glistens off my bald dome.

[SW6906]

Maybe that's why the flash didn't go off the first time. ;o)

[Publius]

The ladies look wonderful.

[In veno, veritas]

Wish I could have been there. Hope ya'll had fun and hope to make it to the next one.

[WillaJohns]

You guys are beautiful! Thanks for the report.

[diotima]

Go Seattle freepers!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Me too.

[Halcontent]

Ah, this brings back memories of years past!! No F.B.I. agents this time at Ivar's. eh ? Sorry, couldn't attend; had to work, but I'm still lurking. Best to all. God bless George Bush.

[Publius]

Nope, no FBI spies this time. They know we're not dangerous, except maybe to ourselves.

[Musket]

You mean there's Freepers in Seattle? I'm shocked!

Have a little light! That's the best I could do. When they're that dark it's pretty hard to fix.At least you can see something now.

HRMPH!

I wanted to go but no one sent me the info.

[ValerieUSA]

Hi - great to see you beautiful Seattle FReepers having a wonderful time. Judai is a natural with that money, she's destined to be a lottery winner soon enough.

[SW6906]

Thanks, Musket! Duh, I was so focused on figuring out how to get the pictures posted I forgot that I could edit it to "let there be light!"

[SW6906]

Sorry you didn't hear. Libertina had posted it to the Washington page, and if she has your email address, she sent out an email to all of the chapter members.

Hope to see you next time......

[deadhead]

Thank You for the report and pictures!

[ethical]

Thanks for the post. What a pretty day it was. Will be down at the Federal Building Tuesday for the rally hope to see some fellow freeper signage.

[Judai]

Yes It was a nice afternoon and everyone that wasn't there, was gossiped about viciously- Just kidding.

I just thought I'd add that we did also toast our spiritual Uncle; Charlton Heston. Just an oversite I had to right!
