NY-NJ-CN TRI-STATE CHAPTER PARTY AT MORAN'S LIVE THREAD

Tri-State Chapter ^ | 12-28-2002 | Cacique

[Cacique]

I am off to Moran's to join the rest of the chapter in welcoming MadIvan to New York.

I will attempt to post using my pocket PC and my wireless modem as we haven't arranged for a modem connection with a laptop there is no sense on lugging around the extra weight in addition to my camera and camcoder.

We will try to upload some digital pictures as the party is progressing and hope that AT&T has a CDPD node nearby to transmit.

Barring that, we will continue the thread once we get home.

[NYC GOP Chick]

You got it! So, when are you coming back here? We'll probably hold the party in the same place. :)

[dennisw]

Looks like a fine tyme was had by all.

[Happygal]

So, when are you coming back here?

Umm, not quite sure at the moment. Although, having made a couple of trips to Canada earlier this year..and not having been in the US for a couple of years, I'm starting to get the itch to go back to NYC. (All those Broadway shows!!! *S*).

If I can get a cheap flight I'd be there next week. (My vacation days for 2003 kick in in January! *L*). I'll keep y'all posted :-)

I'd so love it!! :-)

[Dog]

Who is who in those photos??

[Focault's Pendulum]

We'll probably hold the party in the same place. :)

I'm really pissed that I missed this.

[Happygal]

I'm really pissed that I missed this.

You weren't there? Bummer. I thought you were. HEY! Maybe ye will make the one I'll be at next year. :-) That is, of course, if alisasny doesn't decide to make it a whuppin' girls night out on the town. Woo hoo!!!! :-)

[Angelwood]

You were there! Kristinn forgot to mention your name in our very brief phone conversation. I see from the pictures that you were having a great time.

[Focault's Pendulum]

That is, of course, if alisasny doesn't decide to make it a whuppin' girls night out on the town. Woo hoo!!!! :-)

As a former actor...I'm sure I could dress up and whup along.

Only prob is...Hillary might hit on me.

Should I shave beforehand?

[Happygal]

Should I shave beforehand?

If you want Hillary to hit on you? I doubt bearded ladies are beyond her. She already lives in a freak circus! *L*

[NYC GOP Chick]

I'll let everyone tell who they are. :)

I've also been very busy "punching up" these pics in Photoshop (darkly lit room with lots of green in the background) and am going to the gym after I finish this!

[NYC GOP Chick]

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.

[The Mayor]

What a Great lookin group!!

[Happygal]

Well done on ALL your efforts, getting all those photos up.

I certainly appreciate seeing the happenings, and getting the blow by blow account of everyone from Ivan on the phone *S*

Thank you! :-)

[DKNY]

Great photos!!! Thanks NYC GOP Chick.

Special thanks to Alisasny for organizing such a wonderful party, and welcome to our newest freeper Bunny2003.

Hey Grammymoon... nice interior upholstery!!!...LOL.

[ELS]

We'll probably hold the party in the same place.

I'm up for it. Moran's is a very nice place.

[ELS]

There are some strange lighting effects in those group shots. It looks like I'm wearing glasses, but I wasn't.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Well, yes -- we're FReepers, so that's a given. :)

[NYC GOP Chick]

Nah. I think it's just the light reflecting off your eyes. Since there were so many pictures (I started off with like 60 or 70 when I got home), I didn't do as thorough a "clean up" job as I usually do on photos. I just did the basics in Photoshop. :)

[BUNNY2003]

THANKS FOR TAKING ME TO THIS GREAT PARTY AND MEETING ALL YOUR FUN FRIENDS.YOU KNOW GRAMMYMOON WILL BE ORDERING THAT UPHOLSTERY FOR HER HOME !!!!

[DKNY]

ping!
