What a great time, and I hear a ton of money was raised.

It was nice to meet some fellow message board geeks!

Thanks for looking me up Speedy...

    It was great to meet you and a ton of other people. We had a blast both days. The only downside was there were too many there to actually see everyone. :lol:

    it was very nice to meet you and your husband :D

    At one point I was going to have Laura use her microphone, and call out a few names from the board, and let them know that SPEEDY was up front and wanted to meet them.

    Laura said it was a bad idea.

    She probably realized that half the people in the bar would start throwing beer bottles at me....heheheheheh

    Yes you do have to come visit! It was great to see you the little I did, I'm so glad you came. His eye is still purple lol but the swelling is gone. :)
