[JanMichael]

First DU meetup in Philly---Keph, Pitt on the laptop....

First Atlanta Meetup!

There are others....

Take a trip down memory lane!

[mainegreen]

1. kicking this because I think the pictures would be interesting...

[Redstone]

2. I have quite a few, but unfortunately, am too tired to post them tonight. If this thread

remains kicked until tomorrow evening, I'll be glad to contribute.

Until then, if DS1 isn't too busy, he's got some great pix of the Legendary Boston Shindig of 2005. God, that was fun.

Redstone

[GOPisEvil]

3. Heh - most of my pics either suck or contain banned DUers.

:D

[JanMichael]

12. well, YEAH!

of course you do! ;)

[GOPisEvil]

17. We won't even get started on the "not banned but seriously controversial".

:D

[JanMichael]

18. Nope!

Best leave that for the next meetup, eh? ;)

[sniffa]

4. Oh jeeze

I have a shitload from 2004-2005. It's gonna take me a bit to find these and post them, but I wanted to post to keep this thread in My DU so I could not only find it quickly, and also to remind me that, "Oh yeah, I need to go find those pix and post them in this thread."

[RetroLounge]

but not on my computer here...

RL

[Redstone]

7. What the hell ever happened to Jane Pippin? I really liked her. Not to mention

Miss American Pie. She hasn't been around, and of course, I blame you for that Where are you hiding her?

Redstone

[RetroLounge]

9. miss_american_pie?

I'm talking to her right now, actually. She says hello.

And I'm hiding her in Pittsburgh so well even I can't find her...

:hi:

RL

[Redstone]

11. Tell her I said hey, OK?

Redstone

[RetroLounge]

13. I Just did...

and she smiled and waved...

RL

[Redstone]

16. Thank you too much.

Redstone

[JanMichael]

14. Very cool!

I know people are sitting on these---it's fun to see them again!

[DarkTirade]

thanks for posting those--

I hope we get some of the really, really old ones on here--I would like to see the ones from Philly with Kheph--those were so cool.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. I'm bookmarking this thread...

And tomorrow, I'll find and post my extensive collection...well, some of it anyway!

I'm going to my Dem club meeting tonight, and simply don't have time!

[ThomCat]

66. That will be awesome!

I know I should have a picture of the four of us from when you came through NYC. But I can't find it. :(

:(

Hopefully next time I find a way to travel out there. :)

[EstimatedProphet]

73. Unfortunately by that time we'd moved out of state.

Otherwise I think we would have gone to the meetup too.

[mainegreen]

24. Whoah, some lost posters there.

.. and Redstone, you sly dog you.

:rofl:

[DS1]

25. absolutely

some just left, others ate the granite cookie

[Redstone]

89. Hey, I can't help it. It just kind of happens.

Redstone

[jmm]

28. I'm the forgettable one in the green shirt

;-)

We need another Boston meet-up.

[DS1]

31. DAMMIT

I knew I knew your name. And we've seen each other at so many meetups and protests too. Remember when we had lunch next to the building where the shoe-bomber was being held after protesting Bush near the Fed building? Not that we were there for the shoe-bomber :rofl:

[jmm]

32. I think you just started an internet rumor

I wonder how long it will take for other sites to start posting about people from DU rallying to support the shoe bomber?



I ate there again recently. A friend who isn't from this area was convinced she knew how to walk from Downtown Crossing to Faneuil Hall quicker than me. We had some time to kill so I let her lead the way. Half an hour later as she was admitting I was right we passed there and ended up having lunch.

[DS1]

38. I realized that when I posted it

but again, I know your handle, jmm. I just a blank!

[MissMillie]

41. agreed

I tried to get a MA meet up set up for somewhere more central to the state, but everyone likes Boston.

[BarenakedLady]

72. I would absolutely go to a MA meetup

Easy peasy. I could drop the kidlets with my parents in RI and drive pretty much anywhere in the state.

[Shakespeare]

30. I *love* that pic of Sarahbelle!

I'm still jealous I couldn't go to that humongous meetup. x(

x( stupid typos

[SarahB]

81. That's not even a good one.

The best one involves some serious Matcom licking. When New Englanders meet-up, we MEET UP! :7

[Amaya]

101. great pics

of course I was drunk- I always give you the finger when i'm drunk - strange ;)

here's one I found (its really small) - but I'm doing it again! :)

[hippywife]

105. Hell! I do that when I'm sober!

I hate having my pics taken. Drives the DH's family crazy when I do that but hopefully one day it will break my SIL from waving a damn camera in my face! Ugh!

[DS1]

23. more

teen midlo's boyfriend


mrs. rackcom

bettyellen, amaya

[Redstone]

26. Yes, johnnyblitz and Briarius. The memories are coming back now. Christ, what a night.

Redstone

[DS1]

27. Yeah

Good times, I wish I'd stayed and just crashed there instead of driving home. One of my tires just about blew up on the way home on the mass pike. Managed to limp it home. The tread flew off. Ugh. Would have rather have dealt with that during the day.

[Redstone]

29. Christ, I wish YOU had taken me up on my offer to crash in my room at the Hilton, instead

of the guy who did.

But no matter. I managed to get home on three hours of sleep, in the rain no less, despite the drunken rambling from the other side of the room.

Redstone

[SarahB]

82. Fun night.

I never knew you dealt with all that on the way home though. You probably would have been better off staying. :)

[ThomCat]

33. Post #1

My trip to Ohio

The Peace March, before, during and after. :)


Me and Randi Rhodes after the march.


Um, I recognize WolverineDG and SharonRB in this picture. I don't remember who everyone else is. :(

Cassandra, InfoManiac, um, I don't remember who that third person is. LionessPriyanka, Me, KurtNYC, and Fredda Weinberg.

That person I don't recognize can't be PaulHo's son DJ, can it? I remember him being younger.

[ThomCat]

48. Post #6, some additional pictures

Priyanka, Haruka and me when we first met in person a long, long time ago.


Swag, Me and WolverineDG the night before the peace march.


Swag, Me and SharonRB that same night.

[ghostsofgiants]

79. How long ago was that picture with Haruka and Priyanka taken? You guys look much younger, haha.

Also: The beard suits you.

[ThomCat]

92. That was probably 4-5 years ago.

So I guess we were all much younger then. :)

Thank you. I periodically grow a beard and I always get complements.

[Kool Kitty]

39. "Here is Sharon RB, me and Johnny Blitz."

My husband and I are the other two folks in that photo.

[ThomCat]

47. Hi Kool Kitty!

Thank you very much! :hug:

Does your husband have a DU name I can add?

[Kool Kitty]

99. No, he's not a member.

But his name is Barry. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

42. Last one was when I was visiting

Here is me and Starbucks


That is the only other one I have in my Photobucket account. But I do have more pictures at home

[ThomCat]

49. If I PM you my e-mail address

Can you send me those other images? Pleeeeeze! :7

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

[ThomCat]

50. Cool.

Thank you very, very much. You were a smarter person that I for bookmarking that. :)

[DarkTirade]

98. Y'know, I've never seen you with a beard before.

Not sure if I like it better with or without. :)

[ulysses]

I hope she marries well. (She's a history major and her mother's not well off.. :P )


How you feeling sweetie??

[ThomCat]

60. I'm home from work today

feeling the after-effects of a migraine, and very tired. But overall, I'm okay. The migraine has passed. :)

[lizziegrace]

:hug:


Are you around tonight for a phone call?

[ThomCat]

65. Absolutely!

:hug:

[asthmaticeog]

You'll never see a penny now, hippie. :P

--------

Whoa_Nelly and CaliforniaPeggy, sharing the afternoon.

[FuzzySlippers]

77. Wow!! Crazy G. is a real stud muffin!!

:)

[EstimatedProphet]

91. That was a good time!

Let me know when the next one is so I can handle the grill.

[lightningandsnow]

78. This thread is depressing me!

I want to meet all you lovely people... but I can't! Not for a few years, at least!

:cry:

[ThomCat]

93. You will.

:)

[SarahB]

83. Being a narcisist who never takes pics herself,

I only saved ones other people took if I was in them (aside from that one of Longgrain, LynzM, and I he repeatedly posted over and over and over :eyes:)

Amaya and I


Amaya, myself, and DS1's arm


Me at Matcom's house


Ditto (don't ask & I still owe Mrs. M)


Just something cool I found in my photobucket from years ago

[Redstone]

88. Wait, I have a better picture of you, hold on one minute...

There are a few more from March, 2005 here: http://www.rileycomms.com/DUpix.html (And I'm sorry, SB, I see that the one that LG kept re-posting is still there. I'll edit it out in a few minutes.)

Redstone

[ThomCat]

94. That's a gorgeous picture

of a gorgeous DUer. :)

I can't believe how young LynzM and Briarius (now Zornhau) look in those pictures at your link. Wow!

[Redstone]

95. They still look that young. Because they are, damn them!

Redstone

[SarahB]

108. Oh cool!

Thanks Redstone! :thumbsup:

[Kat45]

96. I remember that day at Matcom's.

Hi Sarah! :hi:

[Amaya]

103. I remember those days

:7

[no name no slogan]

84. These are all awesome

There's a bunch of pics from MN/Upper Midwest meetups out there somewhere. I may have to go forage in the MN forum to see if I can find any of those...

[HughBeaumont]

87. This is about as close to a meet-up as I'll probably get . . .

Everytime there's a meetup, it's either far away from me or I'm doing something -

Last September's anti-war march - here's FogerRox, SharonRB and some guy who runs what I'm told is the best damned site on the internets . . .

[JTG of the PRB]

90. Some of you all should come to Colorado sometime soon...

It's lonely being out here in the West. Big states, few and far between DUers it seems... 'Tis a shame.

[ThomCat]

97. That would be very cool.

:)

It would be nice to have meetups in some out of the way locations near some of the remote DUers.

[reyd reid reed]

107. There are a couple of us out here...

actually, quite a few, just scattered throughout the state.

[Amaya]

100. I can't sleep- here are some 2004 meet-up pics

i didn't take them- can't remember who posted them?

At the 2004 meet up party in Boston 2004
Me talking with Skinner (don't remember who the other guys are)


2004 Boston party again


another ( johnnyblitz, EarlG, and ?)


Here is just one of sarahbelle and I (our own meetup) :)

(its not so clear)

[Kat45]

106. I think the guy with the blonde hair and hat is Symbolman

I remember that meetup. Is that one of the ones when you drove to my house? :hi:

[Amaya]

110. ya-

that was the first time I ever drove up to the Boston area... was so nervous that i'd get lost.
now since my husband lives there, i drive it all the time :)

good to see you :hi:
i think we all need a get together again.

[Kat45]

112. We definitely do need a get together again.

It's been a long, long time.

Your husband lives in the Boston area? I don't know if I even knew you got married. I think I remember you having a baby? Boy, do I feel out of touch! :-)

[SarahB]

109. If we can actually get all of us and Jonny together in a couple of weeks,

we need to take pics. Those could be interesting. ;)

[Amaya]

111. most definitely :)

nice to talk to you yesterday- felt so much better after

:hug:

[SarahB]

113. Even if I'm totally weird?

:silly:
Hey, I was looking at that place you and Jo want to go again. If Pat and I end up joining (which is a strong possibility in the next couple of months), we can bring guests on occasion it seems. :7
