How did we even swing that big Pit meetup when it happened in NYC? Whoever coordinate that deserves a gold star.
That would be Emily
and me
.
We chose NYC because that area already had the largest number of posters and was easily accessible to a few more. Ems researched the restaurants/bars. I sent out 50 invitations each year with all the info and oversaw the RSVPs. I didn't realize how difficult it was to coordinate until I tried it. It's just hard to get that many posters in one place at the same time because of work, school, money, etc. You were at the 2007 dinner and we came to your excellent Halloween party after the 2008 dinner. Guyzzerino and I stayed with DAdvocate and Draco stayed with Emily/kosk.
Ems and kosk later got married after first meeting on the Pit. They got into a serious argument the first time they debated on the board. It was just like in the old movies where the woman says "oh, that man just infuriates me!" and you just know they're gonna get married.

I've asked myself that question many times. He is a bit batty.

Is Merv real, or a replicant?
they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Gabrielle was hot. I think she never looked better than in
Things To Do In Denver

I love that aspect to rewatching older films. School Ties is one that for a while I'd rewatch and notice someone else. Pretty much all the people from that movie went on to become lead men in other films.
I recently watched Scent of a Woman, same deal. And it had that beautiful actress from Things to Do in Denver. Love that woman.
EditGabrielle Anwardoesn't seem to have aged as well as I'd hoped.
I'll keep looking.

That's the spirit.
Last night I saw New Jack City on tv. I had forgotten so much it was like watching a new movie. It's fun to spot the actors you know from their later movies. I quickly recognized Easy Wind. I was surprised to see Nick Ashford in his only movie role. If you're unfamiliar with the name, he and his lovely wife, Valerie Simpson, were a popular singing duo in the 1970s.

Then I'll just make my own Pitogethers, with blackjack and hookerseh forget the Pitogether.

I fear those days are over, lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.

I was young and poor then. I'm better off now but there's no more invitations.

I member. You were also invited to NYC three times, but you couldn't make it. Draco was disappointed.

I met guyzzer once.
Er well I was supposed to meet guyzzer once.

If I settle down in Sydney you can meet me and Goz at same time. We can discuss a lot of things. From sports to books of Charles Dickens!

Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

My internet just went off for a while. Damn infernal contraptions.
We're almost the same age, so I think we could easily relate to each other. All those people on your list are good choices, too.
who knows, maybe I may extend an invitation to someone to discuss things face to face.

It is not enough that I succeed. Everyone else must fail.

Sorry mate, missed this post. Yes, should make it happen!

Video messaging counts. It's pretty much the same as a phone call, only better.
I'd meet with you and your husband without shooting you.
In which part of Florida does your Jamaican cousin live? I bet it's south FL which is about as far away from me in the state as you can get.

Impressive.
Not trying to compete butt I have also done video messaging with a fewand how could I forget the time I arranged to meet this guy called JiminCairns and we had a falling out because I said I was bringing my husband and he online threatened that if I came on his property he would shoot me with a shotgun.
Near miss there~
I would love to meet youif I ever go to visit my husband's ( MOTH)Jamaican cousin in Florida, I will let you know. I think it is more likely that he will come here, however as I really don't wish to go to America anytime soon, the way things are.
