Shout out to all the DUers who came to the NYC meetup last night

[LynneSin]

A great time and a great turn out (around 20). I had a great time hanging out with old friends and making many new ones. A special shout-out to Joan - hope she had a safe drive back home last night! She is the bestest roomie!

Rocky Sullivans was a great time although it got a bit crowded and I did not realize they'd start charging covercharge. We used that place for the DU meetup at RNC and it wasn't as crowd. But we still all had a great time!

[Fredda Weinberg]

26. That's all I got that I can brighten

It took me a while to figure out how to use the flash and then the batteries ran out. By then, someone else had come with her camera so I didn't go out for more.

Sorry.

43. Hi LynneSin

It was so great meeting you, eating din-din, watching Bill Maher, hailing cabs, eating breakfast, and picking out juke box songs with you this weekend. Your energy is contagious.
Hope to meet you again real soon.
The whole weekend was fabu DU.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

47. Sorry I didn't make it

I went home upstate for the weekend & was helping out up there - we had a huge windstorm. Hope to see you guys sometime in the future =) Sounds like you had fun.

[Pale Blue Dot]

:hi:
congrats to you both!

[SharonRB]

60. It was so nice meeting you and your lovely fiancee, finnfan

Sorry we didn't get a chance to talk more, but it was soooooo noisy in there!

[SharonRB]

50. It was great seeing you, Lynne, and everyone else

I'm just sorry it was so noisy and crowded I probably didn't meet all of the DUers. I couldn't talk anymore -- it was hard to hear and hard to talk above the noise. We were all hoarse on Sunday morning.

We all had a great weekend. I've posted all of my pics in the Countdown group on a thread. Here are a few from Saturday night, though.



Joan and Lynne eating quail!

[bettyellen]

58. hey, i'm posing like my avatar...

i guess the apple didn't fall all that far. :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

61. I love your pictures! It was wonderful meeting you.

Maybe we can have supper together if I'm passing your town on the way west.

[LynneSin]

63. It was so not like that the last time we used Rocky's

So I felt bad that people left when they did. But we had a good 2-3 hours there with drinks and everything.
