DU meet-up.

[Ptah]

Hit the road, Jack.

[billyskank]

1. Depends on the DUers of course, but

wonderful time. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

[tjwmason]

4. Better luck next time - is that it?

:P

[billyskank]

15. Piffle

:hug:

[LaurenG]

6. I just can't imagine who you wouldn't want to meet

and draw! :hi: :hug: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :*

[billyskank]

17. Hey you!!!

:loveya: :hug: :hi: :* :D

[Drum]

2. In a New York minute!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. Likewise.

[Ptah]

3. Replies, people, we need replies.

:hippie:

[bicentennial_baby]

5. After the last time....maybe not...

DC, last September...met many good people, and a lotta crappy ones... :shrug:

[Ptah]

7. I hope the next DU meet-up you are part of is filled with good people.

:hi:

[crim son]

10. Really? I'm sorry about that.

I guess it makes sense. Some people are just... crappy.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. Well, hopefully if you do choose to go to one again, there will be less

crappy ones. You know there will be at least one fewer crappy one there.

[GOPisEvil]

33. Hey! I am *not* crappy!

Dammit. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Ptah!

Of course I would do it again in a heartbeat!

I always have a fabulous time, and that's all there is to it!

:hug:

[Ptah]

11. I'm looking forward to another meet-up, maybe east of Arizona.

:hug:


:grouphug:


:pals:


:applause:

[crim son]

9. I would love to go to a meet up!

I may just attend the next one in Boston because I have family there so I'd have somewhere to stay. That is, if I am aware the next time you Bostonians DO meet up.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. Well, if there's another Boston meetup, you'll get to meet me.

Since I will definitely be going to that.

[crim son]

16. Then you will have to let me know!

I would love to meet you. Naturally we will hate one another in person, but we can't let that stop us :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. Nah, I've yet to meet a DUer that I've hated, once I met them...

unless it was somebody I already didn't get along with online. So it should be okay. :)

[crim son]

27. I've only really hated one person in my life,

and he died twelve years ago. You won't be next :hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. Yeah, I don't really hate people either.

I just have a strong disdain for certain people. To me if you hate somebody, you have to wish them permanent physical harm & death. Meanwhile, there's just a couple people I regret not beating to a bloody pulp when given the chance.

[Ptah]

14. I'm usually a hermit. Rarely host, rarely a guest.

This trip helped me get out of my cave.


If you go, look to the sky:





:hug:

[crim son]

18. Sometimes forcing oneself to get out is well worth the stress,

isn't it? And since I tend to always have low expectations, how can I go wrong? Lovely sky picture, BTW. I see a cursive L for Love, or else a jellyfish with dangling tentacles... less romantic. What is it?

[Ptah]

19. Whoa_Nelly has 'fleshed' it out for us:

Jenis In The Sky With Diamonds!

[crim son]

20. Now I see it!

I lack imagination. It's a shame!

[LSK]

21. been to one, wish there were more in Chicago

[Ptah]

29. Is there an Amtrak station close by?

:shrug:


I would like to see Evanston again.

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. Amtrak goes into Union Station in downtown Chicago.

Not to Evanston, though the Union Pacific North Line still goes up there from Northwestern Station.

[LSK]

31. Northwest Station is just a few blocks from Union Station

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. You'll all be waiting a while to do any meeting of me.

Even if you get something up in Maine. :P

[evlbstrd]

23. We have 'em monthly here.

They're always a good time, and they're getting bigger.

[Ptah]

25. Are you close to an Amtrak station?

I am looking for invitations east of Arizona.



:hi:

[evlbstrd]

32. Yup.

http://www.unionstation.org/amtrak.cfm

We meet about 15 blocks south of it. Our October meetup was last weekend.

[Ptah]

34. How do you like me now?

[Ptah]

35. Will the later crowd sway the vote?

[Evoman]

36. I'd love to meet me some DUers BUT

there are 3 things that are stopping me

1) I am from Canada, and most trips are too long.

2) I am a grad student, and most trips (even in my town lol) are too expensive

3) Nobody knows who I am anyways..."Evoman? Never heard of you. Sure you aren't a freeper troll?"
