NEST stands for the NorthEast Sciety of Ticklephiles. We hold a tickle gathering every spring. Because that's what we're best known for, many people simply use "NEST" to refer to gatherings in general. But, we're located in Philadelphia, PA. Here's a link if you want to find out more about us... http://www.nestgathering.com/
As for my fav memory, there are way too many to list. This year will be the 6th for Drew & I. If I had to pick a single memory, I think it would be from our first NEST. It was actually at the social the night before. We had yet to meet many folks and were a bit nervous heading down to the conference room. Within a very short time, we'd met Max and Jan and many others and felt like we were with family. That's the spirit we love most about NEST...the big extended family. The play and all the rest are fantastic. But, it's that spirit that comes through most for me every time.

what is a sippy cup?
the 1st thing to come to mind from last year's NEST was...
during the game of "Distraction" played in front of everyone, Bella was able to rattle off 5 or so types of flowers while being tickled... I forget who was doing the tickling but she was able to do that wayyyy too easily🙂

Like Ann said......our first NEST (in 2002) was my favorite as well. It was a new, exciting, and exhilirating experience that just got better and better as the weekend went on. And it was so cool to hang with TTD and Shygirl and Kwildoctor and Lite. As always, my favorite part of these events is being together with friends old and new.

Surely, Miss Mairead (Giggle),
All of us "Geriatrics" do want to thank you for providing us a focus point for our most devoted and intense attentions as soon as NEST'07 kicks off! (read as this mght be a way of constructing your poor self into some deep stuff come June... !!! Wicked Evil Grins Shared Among All Us Geriatrics.)
Good memories of NEST's past (hmmm) a few.
Meeting: Max, Jan, Jeff, Bella, and everyione else at our first nest in the late 90's. Discovering that there was/is a solid (secret) core of sports car racing fanatics lurking among the NESTees.
Atttending one of the last of the first NEST's at Max' old apartment, when it really began to overflow. (thus finding the funkiest restaurant in Penns' Landing, which M and I return to every year).
Getting my Miss M to be a late nite presenter, when she admitted that Houston John knew what he was doing with his foot tickling technique more than anyone else.
More recently:
Watching TrixieBrat being introduced to the joys of foot tickling in our old set of stocks a few years ago.
Meeting, talkng with, and getting to tickle Sandee at her first NEST in '04.
Spotting and immediately (and mutually recognizing) Jeff after -many- years at last years '06 NEST from ---way--- across the room(!),
In the party room in '04 having Judy (JPie) ask me, "So, What do you think of my feet?"
Me, "They're Perfect!"
June '06 - Confiding at breakfast with (Jon's) Kittentoes that I thought and hoped England had a decent chance of of making a solid showing in the 2006 Soccer-Football World Cup, only to see UK tossed almost as summarily as our USA-Yanks!
Working with our old friend from DC Chris M (Ticklebully) tickle my poor missus Melinda in the "chair" last year.
Spending almost 15 minutes with same Chris trying to do some good rope bondage on Bella to get her in a position to to some serious work, only to have the delightful Miss B pull right out in one second! (we all did get a sort of disastrous laff out of all of that anyway)
Watching almost the most cutest couple in NEST (ever), Mark-Viper and Meg-Irish do a really great scene before ours. And they regard themselves as the newer folks. Well, in our estimation, whatever they have been doing, watching, or reading about, or even practicing in the privacy of their own, they got it down. And we 'seniors' wamt them to keep coming and being the natural next generation or "our kind".
And we admire all of that, and that the music is continuing.

They're either too young or too old...
BS, if you have to ask, you're either too old, too young, never had kids or been a babysitter or elder caregiver. But, I think Giggs is referring to a covered cup with a built-in straw designed for spill-prone li'l ones or geriatrics.
I'm not giving up mine with Bugs Bunny on it, even if I didn't get it at NEST! 😛 <br>
And, Giggs and Tkl-Duo, here I am, ready to read about breathless accounts of merciless tickletorture at NEST, and you guys are getting all fuzzy (if not feathery) about heartwarming family moments. 😉 <br>Gee, I wish I could go...(sigh)

So hard to pin down a favorite... (no pun intended, there)
...SO many fond memories stemming from NEST trips, it's nigh impossible to single out just one. Every year brings new adventures, new friends, and wonderful new memories. Meeting people for the first time, who later become like family to you. Hours and hours of tickling play. Pedicures. Visiting national monuments, and swearing that "By God, THIS is the year that we tour those historic ships at Penn's Landing and dine aboard the Moshulu!". Sitting around the room at the hotel bullshitting until the wee hours. Laughing hysterically at stories and memories from previous NESTs. Brunches at Silk City. Singing in the hallway of the hotel. Bunny ears. Pizza runs and drag races. Bare feet hanging out of car windows, toes wiggling in blatant invitation. Shouting "You buncha perverts!" at fellow NESTees still on the sidewalk after the event as we drove through bumper-to-bumper traffic on South Street, and being chased by said same. Hearing the shrieks and giggles of countless 'Lees, music to my ears. Piano bars. BBQ joints with indoor volleyball and excellent music.
Cripes, I could go on for days. With so many years of amazing Gatherings behind us, it's just too difficult to sort through all the memories and nail one in particular. But it's fun doing the sifting.
And here's to many more years of more fond memories!

Absolutely! Just over two months from now we'll have a flood of posts from folks adding to the list of memories!
And the griz posting reminds me of one from last year...him growling away as I gave him a nice long back rub. Then, Jan falling asleep while I did the same for her the next morning before she left to catch her flight.
Love you guys!
