WOW, guys this is sooo exciting! Wish I could've been there, really. sooooooooooo...whadija guys talk about?

That would be great! Mine is on the 6th, but I chose the weekend of the 11th because it is a three day weekend (Columbus Day).

OK, I'll be the one to answer the big question...

Yeah, we talked a lot about other members. We must have mentioned at least 30 or so. It was a regular "gossip fest".

Wow, that is Mad awesome! It looks like so much fun!Love the pics!

My quick report :

SC: the proverbial avuncular teddy bear. Plus he has a *way* cool gurlfriend (Hi L *waves*). Hold on to her tight SC.
P.Lawrence: DOES kind of look like Al Pacino closeup.
J-Off: The Don of Hearts, a sweetheart with a low voice
Turnbull: Lucky me, since neither of us smoke we got to talk a lot while the rest were putting another layer of black tar on their lungs and arteries. Fascinating man in all respects
MaryCas: whatta guy. Gaves us great directions, met us, guided us and then planned our next outing. Thanks Mary! Your directions really saved us.
TIS: What can I say. We always get along! ANd you all know what a bitch I am .

I'm really happy to meet all of you. I am genuinely, really no lie, impressed by the brains, wit and general "fun-ness" of you guys. I wish I could see you all the time.

I got some great pics, downloaded them onto my laptop, and then my laptop fried on me. Hopefully when I'm in the office on Weds I can recover my hard drive. I hate technology sometimes.

ok, so spill it -what did you guys say about me?

Oh shuttap Pee-Pee. We ALL know they were commenting on how sexy DV is!

I also noticed Turnbull and Plawrence looking different.

Yeah, we talked a lot about other members. We must have mentioned at least 30 or so. It was a regular "gossip fest".

Really? Ahem, who were the fortunate posters? I bet Vercetti was the most popular of us all (heavy sarcasm)


TIS: What can I say. We always get along! ANd you all know what a bitch I am .

That ain't true and ya know it. You've a low self-esteem

P.S. Capo:

My birthday is October 12th.

No joke! I was born in Oct. 19th!

Another group shot....this time its of all seven of us, including my best friend, Lori (white blouse on left). Note Geoff holding his arm in pain after it was almost broken by Saladbar when he tried to grab her boob (j/k).



I used to be weary of meeting people off the internet. I've been very pleasantly "surprised" by all those whom I've met from these boards, and last night's additions (TIS, Saladbar and Turnbull) are certainly no exceptions. What a warm, fun and interesting group of people!!

Also - Thanks to plawrence for arranging our outings, and making all the reservations, etc. He sure knows his restaurants!

SC, you are totally right!! Seemed like we were all old friends. What a pleasure to finally meet you. You are just as much fun off the board as you are on the board. My best to your GF "L", who by the way, I think is just wonderful. (Hi L!! )

Geoff, how many people can say they spent the evening with a "Don" hu???? I look forward to the Sopranos tour (make sure we connect sometime before then ok? I need to know where we'll meet). Besides, I think I'll appoint myself as your "Bada Bing" chaperone. SC wants me to start kicking ass, so I think I'll start with you.

P. Lawrence, you have been great throughout all my plans to visit, with your patience answering my many questions. I thank you for putting it all together. A plesaure meeting you.

Turnbull, I am still in awe my friend. So honored that you joined us. You are one of the smartest and all round knowledgeable people I know. Thanks

Mary Cas, what a gem you are. Maybe men don't like to ask for directions, but you sure give great ones. I like the way you think. It was so nice to see you.

What can I say, I think I am in love with all this guys!!! Whoever said New "Yawkers" (see, I'm picking up the lingo) aren't friendly are dead wrong. Geoff, SC, TB, PL, Mary Cas you are all the BEST!!!

TIS

Truly a wonderful evening! It was so great meeting everyone! And having adult conversation. Another reason why this is the best site on the Web!

I wonder if I got mentioned?

Your meetings are truly inspiring. Hopefully next summer I will be posting pics of my fellow Filipino board members after my trip to the Philippines. Branching out to that region of the world would be a huge step for this board!

I just want to say that I am absolutely pea-green, emerald, chartreuse, etc. with envy!! You guys look like you had the best time!!

Ladies, I'm glad that you enjoyed your dinner and I hope that the weather clears up for you. New York is a great place, but of course I'm biased. How was San Gennaro?

So glad that the evening was a success and that your fellow board members were as much fun in person as they are on the boards!!

Hi, Lori!





(Bet that smilie brings back "good" memories to SC! )

Um. I wish I could remember exactly what I said. But I KNOW my definition of sexy isn't a synonymous with DV in any form of consciousness.

Sorry Pee-pee, don't remember if I mentioned you. Give me a few drinks and my mouth goes into slippery tough and chewy in the middle light speed bliss. Guys, didn't I call DV a dork? (not really ... I think ...).

(getting you back for the Marlon pic Vershits)

looking forward to that "Meeting of the Pinoy Mafia's" Don C.

For what it's worth, I do NOT have elephantitis, as it appears in that last pic SC posted!

SC - How 'bout some standing-up shots?

There is nothing like some good genital humor.

Turnbull, you look much different from the picture that you had posted before.

Plawrence, I like the 'stache. You look like a bad dude.

It looks like you all had a great time. Congratulations, I am truly envious. I'd be honored to meet anyone from the BB!

I'll bet that would be waaaaay cool for all you guys. Some of my favorite (board) members are from that area, and I'd love to see the pics.

does that include me?

i'm back!!! i was gone for about six months, and i really missed the board. when i saw this topic (and the photos), geez, i was so green with envy! wow! wow! wow!

but, hey, i didn't recognize the boys (the girls look the same). you guys looked totally different from the photos you posted.

if everything turns out well for me, i hope to see you guys late next year ... when i've migrated to the U.S. i'm keeping my fingers crossed. my interview at the embassy is on October 7.

Were you really gone for six months. DonP? Time really does fly, doesn't it. Maybe not for you, as you missed us, but it certainly doesn't seem six months ago since you departed.

Anyway, welcome back!

Mick

HH,
As I mentioned before, if you guys make it to the Rose Bowl, we should hang out.

I'm quite jealous, i'd love to meet loads of people from this board and everyone from that meeting especially, you're all good people. Us Brits should do something similar sometime. Who have we got? Mick from Newcy, FH from Yorkshire somewhere, Uk don from Brummie land, another Mick, Researcher from Surrey and Wiseguy1972 too. We have a decent bunch of us. If i've missed you out give me a shout people.

I'd love to meet Michael Montana Mancini too, he has a bit of a temper about him, I would like to see if it's applicable in real life too.

Does that include me SC?
hey DonPapa good to see you and Welcome back!

GoodFella

Short update folks! My friend SB left today so here I am taking on NYC. The weather is "perfect" today. Sunny and about 75 or so maybe.

Tomorrow is the Soprano's tour which I am totally jazzed about. I think I'll look for a Carmella Soprano shirt to wear. What do ya think?? Shopping is always on my agenda.

SC, Geoff, Lori, see ya tomorrow.

And please put in a request for no hurricanes while TIS is in town or I'll have to whip someone's ass!!!


TIS

Whip mine TIS! I still have those Goddamn veins

Hey Soprano Tour Group:
If you stop at the Bada Bing ask for my booth. Tell them the Kraut sent ya.
Have a great time!

Turi, I'd absolutely love to meet up with some people on here. Unfortunately, I'm 15, and am a bit young right now. My exams will be over by this time next year, though, and will hopefully have a job (at least part-time). My dad said he would come with me if I wanted to meet up, but frankly, I'd rasther him not, if you know what I mean. So hang on for about a couple of years, and we could definitely meet up sometime.

Mick
