NEST is Happening!

[giantfan121262]

Jpie filled me in on the details. Sounds like alot of fun. It really killed me that I couldn't be there this year, but, hey, Shit happens!

I would like to extend a warm thank you for all the people that were looking out for Judy's safety in my absense. Thanks again. It makes me proud to be associated with such great people within this community.

 

[TickleChgo]

Just got home!

As Jan said above, thunderstorms totally f'd up the Philly airport. Jan, Dan and I arrived at our gates at around 1:30. Jan and Dan boarded their plane, sat on it for 1.5 hours or so, and then had to get back off. They decided to bag it for the day and head home tomorrow, but yours truly decided to wait it out. Several reschedules and two cancelled flights later, I got the next-to-last seat on the last plane out to Chicago. I got home around 4 a.m. Philly-time.

So why am I up right now typing instead of getting my weary ass into bed? I had one singular thought I had to get out:

The NEST has become, for me, as much, if not more, about seeing dear old friends with whom you have so much in common - Max (my bro), Jan, MKeemer, Lee, Bella, Dan, Big John – than the party on Sunday afternoon itself. And, it follows that you can't have old friends if you don't meet new friends at some point, and it is always great to meet new friends - JPie, Chris from D.C., Viper, and Vadim (who was stranded at the airport along with me in basically the same situation - not sure if he was able to get out or not), to name a few.

More thoughts to follow.. gotta get some sleep…

Hats off to Max, Jan and the NEST

Thank you everyone for making my first NEST the thrilling warm event that it was. This is my first year of getting to know the Tickling Scene and its been an honor getting to know you all. Judy, what can I say? the scenes we did with Howard (and the occasional cast of thousands were some of the most powerful, mesmerizing scenes Ive ever done. Bella, its always flying sparks when I see you (only the third time...can you believe it?). Jen making you scream is always a pleasure (gotta get me one of those sonic-care things. I'm behind on tickler-technology. Josie so wonderful seeing you again and thanks for helping discover my lost car (that was a theme this weekend wasnt it??) Max, Ven, Venraya, such an honor to meet you all and discover how genuine and cool you are in real life. And its always a pleasure to seen my SM brethren Rodney, Pam, Spence, Lace, Bella, Lee, Jen, et al. And meeting and getting to know new friends as well (John from Houston, Alvin, Terry, TickleChicago, Trixie, VAdim, Dan, and the man from Alaska....etc etc)

And especially huge thanks to Max and Jan for getting all this set up for us. What a wonderfull thing this is.

Anyway, work beckons. I look forward to seeing you guys again soon.

Chris M from DC

My NEST Thoughts

It's about 8:30 AM on Tuesday morning and I am wondering why I am wide awake when I really should be getting caught up on all the sleep I lost. From the moment an old friend shook my hand when I greeted him hello, I knew that he was passing along a goodly amount of cold virus from the UK. That's why I tend to sneeze with a degree of dignity.

I am, once again floored by the success of yet another NEST Gathering. There are so many to thanks and, I find again this year, that I am fearful of leaving anyone out. All I could say is that as each year goes by, friends like Jan, Dan, Mike, Lee (okay...okay...I started to name names) just click into work mode and everything gets done. NEST is a machine in which all the cogs are scattered throughout the world (literally). Thus it's success.

Most of what has been said, has been said as far as activities. There was a sh*tload of bondage equipment. It was a playground. Many thanks to the companies that sponsored us: MTJ Publishing, for their magazines (hope to see you back, My Friend), The Last Laugh, for providing videos and discounts for NEST attendees, Tickle TV for their continued support and videos, The Passional (formerly The Fetish Boutique) here in Philly for their discounts and continued support, and the Tannery, for their incredible venue.

This year, I have decided to try my hand at video production. At NEST, I had one of my models, the stunningly cute & adorably ticklish, Brittany, who graced us with a little demo, tied up with her arms over her head in a room full of tickle-veterans. This girl had never been tied up, let alone did a demo in front of strangers. She was great and I know you will love her when the vid gets done.

There were shocks and laughter, visits from the Easter Bunny & a long lost Angel who showed up to share brunch. I was pleased with the strong presence of females, amazed that so many guys laid down for them, constantly amazed at Bella's class and grace and cattiness (sp?) when tied (especially in a suspended cage with hands all around her). I missed the presence of NEST co-founder, Pete, yet I was so happy to see that the old Ticklemonster A, Mike & John, who were there from the very beginning and originally helped to conceive the name.

The Tannery, here in Philly, is a great BDSM club and we had it all to ourselves for hours and hours.

I am sorry for those who had to miss it this year. We used to have these twice a year but it has become way too costly and time comsuming to do that any more. We have completed a goal that we set out to do many years ago; have an actual Tickling Convention. It's not a clique or a frat party, it's a huge event that takes months of planning, networking, money and footwork (no pun intended). It's about opening our doors to people who always dreamed about such a thing. It's about seeing old friends and making new ones.

One more special thanks to Jan, who, years ago, took a flight all by herself to see what NEST was all about and I made a friend forever. She is the hardest working person I had ever met and I could never do half the things I do without her. Maybe I was brave enough to conceive this idea and get it kick-started, but it has been the continued efforts of people like Jan, Lee, Mike, Dan and the whole NEST Crew that has taken it and activated all the necessary cogs in order to get this incredible machine to work year after year.

For all those I didn't name, you know how I feel about you, Andy, John, Bella, the Rays and the Duos, the Spensers ... DAMN! .... I started naming names again.

To all of you, Thank You, and I hope we are all healthy and prosperous so we can meet again and again, year after year, and watch this machine grow.

Peace.

Max

Nest..to me..

It starts with the announcement "Get ready for NEST" or "NEST is coming", sending shivers and that nice tingly feeling up the spines of those who have attended in the past. It brings back memories to me of the first time I saw those words posted by Max on the old AMT newsgroup and said to myself "maybe someday".

Before you know it threads begin to pop up here on the forum. Some full of questions about the gathering and how to attend and others full of anticipation and excitement from those who have attended in the past.

Next come the posts and "subtle" references throughout the forum consisting of "BUZZ" words and "paybacks" and general teasing from those who cant wait to get a chance to play again.

The excitement builds as people scurry about making plans for time off from work or babysitters so that they will be able to go.

Then it begins.....

Jan, Dan, Max, and several others get together during the week to go over all of the last minute details. (A process that continues right up until we say goodbye and the last of us is safely back at home. These folks never stop.)

The rest of attendees usually begin arriving on Friday and by Sunday there are so many old friends to talk with and new ones to meet, that time goes into warp speed until we find ourselves saying our goodbyes over breakfast at the diner on Monday morning.

Getting to meet and talk with members of this community is the highlight of the week for me. I love making new friends and finally being able to match faces and personalities with screen names. It changes the way you view things here on the forum.

The play is safe and FUN. It is never long enough no matter how much time we have, but the friendships forged at NEST will last a lifetime.

As usual, there are far too many people to thank, but I will do the best that my 50 year old memory will allow.

Jan...Glad you had the chance to "pay me back" for last year...LOVE you darlin!

Andy...Great to see you again...Thanks for the breakfast and the good company...(always glad to help a friend when he's "down" 🙄 )

Ann and Drew...What can I say to two of the best friends that Tracy and I could ever have. The first people T and I met from the forum...We love you both!

Ayla and JPIE...one word...EVIL!!!!

Dan...Grizzly? Nah..Just a big Teddy and a great guy to know. You have my # 😉

Lite and Randy...Too long between get togethers!!! Keep in touch guys.

Desdemona...Always a pleasure...(I have pictures to prove it!)

Guip...Always great to see you, man. Ever since our first meeting at SBGI..

Drew70...It was a blast! Thanks for the disc and the fun!

Bella...The perfect mix of class and sheer Evil!!!

Lee...Technique that all the male lees adore!!!!!!

Mike K...Always a pleasure, my friend...Glad you could be there.

Trixie...Thank you. You killed me. 😀 😀 😀

Big John...It was a great pleasure, (as I am sure Tracy will attest to) Long live the brotherhood!!!! (but stay away from large moving brown lumps in the wilderness... 🙄 )

To all the new folks I got to meet...worldpilot, Viper, Murray, Phineas, Mike,Bride of Dracula( and "super G") and all of the rest..the time was too short. Please keep in touch. Email or PM me any time.

To all the old friends I got to see again...Jen, Josie, Jamie,Milagros, nightfall, Shem, tommytikl,and sensudom....It was good to see you all, perhaps another gathering is happening soon that we will be able to attend together. 😀

To Max.. What can I say but thank you so very much for all that you have done for this community. I am so glad that I finally got to meet you last year and that I was able to come to NEST again this year. Keep the dream going...it is a good one....😀 😀 😀

ROFL! Great pic, Ray. But....shouldn't it have a feather? 😉

Ann (glad to have actually slept last night, but missing everyone)

 

[Phineas]

at the risk of being a killjoy...

first of all, I do want to congradulate and show my appreciation for the folks who organized this thing (I don't know exactly who did what so I won't bother doing it by name). Y'all put together an excellent event and covered all the bases, far as safety, screening, refreshments, travel arrangements, and logistics are concerned. I can safely say that NEST is the kind of event anyone should feel comfortable and safe attending on any end of the spectrum be they 'lee, 'ler, or 'loo (no, I don't know what a 'loo is. you figure it out.) If you want to attend a gathering, you can't go wrong taking in a NEST.

that said, however, I don't think I'll be attending next year. I've had mixed feelings about going to a gathering for some time, and now that I've finally done so I'm going to chalk it up as a "works for some, but not for me" kinda thing. Didn't enjoy myself at all.

Jan, Ann, Drew, Max, 'Ray, Lite, Kwil, was great to meet ya, especially those of ya who I actually got to talk to a bit. And my apologies to the big fella who asked me about China but never got to hear the end of my story; I never caught your name, so if you're interested in hearing more about my adventures in the East, drop me a line at [email protected] - that goes for anyone really, as I don't log in here much anymore.

Best of luck to everyone next year. 🙂

 

[MaxSpeer]

Phineas;

Thank you for your honesty. I am in total agreement when you say that Gatherings are not for everyone. This is true. It isn't for everyone. NEST is available for anyone who wants to understand what a Gathering is all about (on a real big scale). It is great because you are never pressured to perform or even to watch if you are uncomfortable.

Many feel that tickling, although they like to indulge in fantasy, thus this website, they feel it is more of a personal and private aspect of their life.

We get what we can out of these events and at the very least, are left with friends and memories.

It was great putting a face to the online personality.

Thanks again for your honesty.

Max

Re: at the risk of being a killjoy...

Jan, Ann, Drew, Max, 'Ray, Lite, Kwil, was great to meet ya, especially those of ya who I actually got to talk to a bit.

I was glad to get to know you a bit in person, Phin. It's kinda difficult to talk with everyone as much as we'd like. But, what we did get to share was nice. We'd need at least a couple weeks to get to talk with everyone as much as I'd like! lol You're right. It's not everyone's cup of tea to hang at something like this. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Nothing wrong with that. I'm just glad I got to meet ya before you found out that it wasn't for you. 😉 For those of us who DO enjoy it, there's nothing quite the same.

Ann

 

[AffectionateDan]

HOME! (or the place I'm staying until I get to actually COME home...)

Well, Gang, we pulled it off AGAIN... can you believe it? Another successful NEST complete, and now to deal with the inevitable case of post-NEST blues! We all look forward to this all year, and live the dream with our "extended family", and then it's over, and we start missing them and that part sucks canal water. But man oh MAN, I wouldn't go back to not going for all the tea in China. The friendships and relationships we forge amidst all that laughter and fun are so great! Like the man says, "It's all about the love" (Missin' ya bad, bro... life takes priority, though) To those who made it again this year, so many thanks and happiness to you! To those who couldn't come for whatever reasons, financial, personal, or whatever, you were missed, and there's ALWAYS the next one.

These things just keep getting better, ya notice?

 

[AffectionateDan]

And YOU.......

Jan, get him! I hear it's possible... 😉

Just shush, babygirl, or I'll take great pleasure in holding you down MYSELF and letting the guys render you into a sweaty puddle of giggling sweetness! 😛

 

[leafstk]

Re: And YOU.......

Just shush, babygirl, or I'll take great pleasure in holding you down MYSELF and letting the guys render you into a sweaty puddle of giggling sweetness! 😛

Hmmmm, that DOES sound like fun 😀 😉

 

[JPie1]

Jan, get him! I hear it's possible... 😉

for this one you can definitely be the pilot, Jan the co-pilot and I an extra co-pilot because guess what ladies, I think its entirely possible! I would love to help you take down this bear!! LOL

 

[lite]

For those of you who didn't attend...

know that you couldn't ask for a safer, more enjoyable event.

Thank you, Max, for being a great host, and for inviting kwil and me to join in the fun.

Thanks also to everyone who works to make NEST a pleasant event.

Thank you, QB, for being a hostess with the mostest...and for throwing me down on the bed and smothering me with kisses!

I'll echo Ann's sentiments here: it was great to see old friends again, and (hopefully) we made new friends. 🙂

I also learned two things:

1) I can be a halfway-decent 'ler. 😉
2) I'm apparently no longer credible when calling myself "innocent"! 😀

 

[McGyver Tklr]

Well, its 904 pm, NJJen and I arrived home about an hour ago. An although this week has been an emotional rollercoaster for me, I am reasonably convinced that it was a good one overall.
Firstly to everyone who through a kind word or gesture helped make a very difficult time in my life much more bearable, my undying gratitude. Either via email, this forum, or in person, all of your kind words were greatly appreciated.
Secondly, although I have been to a few smaller regional gatherings, this was my first "BIG" one. Hopefully it will not be my last. 😛 Special thanks to QB, Max, Danimal, and everyone or anyone who had a hand in putting all this together, major rounds of applause with many standing ovations. I have an inkling in what is involved with helping out NJJen w/ SBG, however I think I'll have nightmares thinking about trying to do it on the scale you all managed to pull off so brilliantly.
Thirdly, to all the lovely 'Lees who allowed themselves be assaulted by the EVIL TOOL , my thanks. It is always fun to demostrate it on such willing victims. Muwa hahahahaha!!! It is interesting to find out things about oneself that one doesn't know about oneself. Thanks to BrideofDracula for such penetrating insight into my character, 😀. Venraya MAY have learned to keep her hands to herself (I hope not), Jpie, Nightfall, Bella (who is a spiritual descendant of Houdini, as well as the squirmiest 'lee I have ever seen), and anyone I may have missed mentioning through my tiredness, Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making this no-longer-newbie, feel very welcome.
To make a short post longer, Special thanks to QBWeaver, who although only gave me a few minutes, gladly (yeah right!) suffered under my gentle administrations. There is good news, bad news, good news and bad news. The good news is Jan did not escaped unscathed from NEST this year. The bad news is she killed the EVIL TOOL by decapitation. The good news, the EVIL TOOL has several siblings all ready to take his place. And the Bad news for 'lees is that more than a few people asked where they can get one, and have been directed to a reputable source. So dont be suprised if more and more show up in 'lers toolbag.
To everyone who attended, whether or not we played, my thanks. Your presense and your company was great. Some special thanks to Spenser and LadyLace, as well as OneFunkyBassist, and Sandee for a wonderful evening of company and conversation. I look forward to many more. Here's hoping that LadyLace is feeling better soon. To Spenser and Chris M, thanks for the help in my scene with NJJen. To TKLTime, thanks for the sympathetic ear, when I needed to vent about my dad. Keep in touch, bro.
And finally and most importantly, NJJen, through whom I was able to discover this community and all the people in it. And all the rest which will be expressed privately. ::wagging eyebrows::
With that its off to get some sleep I hope, , and remember kiddies, when they point the camera at you, remember to say, " 'LEEEEEEEEEEES"

 

[JPie1]

Thirdly, to all the lovely 'Lees who allowed themselves be assaulted by the EVIL TOOL , my thanks

McGyver, you are a big wonderful evil tool!! You can be part of my scenes anytime! Glad your both home safe and sound! get some rest buddy..

 

[Collin]

I had a great time this weekend! No one knew me going in because I had never registered here. Aside from a few brief IMs with Jan in the weeks past, I had never met another tickle person or even chatted with one online. The NEST finally changed that. The event allowed me to talk about a subject that I had never spoken of before. I shared things with people that even my closest friends have never heard!

Having made the drive the night before, I was up hours before the social was scheduled to begin and decide to make a few practice runs, first to Jans hotel, then to the club. I misread the email I had printed and went into the Fairfield inn. I found the room but there were business men checking out. Back to the car. The next hotel was owned by the same company that owned extended stay, but I assumed that was my destination. I got in the elevator to go the 4th floor but...no "4". Once I got outside I could clearly see there was no 4th floor! Another drive up the road and I came upon the correct hotel but no one was at the room. It was only noon however, still 2 hours early. On to the Tannery! Now here is where is was a good thing I made a practice run. The directions were fine except for one small problem. The exit was on the right, not the left, when approaching from the south. Having discovered this mistake a day in advance allowed me to lead the 6 car convoy to the Tannery the next day. Well at least we had 6 to begin with, only 4 of them were still with us when we arrived, but they found their way. Six was probably too long to expect to keep together in the city.

Some highlights of the weekend:

Arriving and being asked what my screen name was...and not having one! I was one of those who came to TMF to watch quietly. Being a stranger to everyone, it takes time to blend in, which the social on Saturday allowed me to do and by Sunday I wasn't so much of a stranger. Now that I have crossed over and would encourage others to do so too. I had a blast at dinner, especially the part where Bratgirl started to describe tying a man to a table when she saw me look over to the 80 year old lady at the next table and remembered where we were (Ruby Tuesdays). Which reminds me, we forgot to give someone their birthday tickles! I dont remember the name of the guy you called "Russia" either so he'll have to come forward! Don't lurk, speak! Chocolate Martini.... mmmmmmm

Now for the night at the club. Max, excellent talent you have, the NEST references in your songs on Saturday night made for very humorous inside jokes. The others in the club had no idea what we were laughing at. SO many memories from that night. Dancing with some local girl, the English fellow trying to hook me up with her, the plain martini, the second martini-still over vermuthed-Brat thanks for trying!-the foot massages, raise those hands Patrick!

The events in Tannery itself have been well covered at this point. As for my experience I was suprised at how much fun it was to be the lee. My lee to ler time ratio was about 4:1, the opposite of what I expected. I was willing to take my punishment for inflicting torture on others. As Bella discovered, I would be a better victim for pain. The whips and chains people would love me but I'm not into that. If I was I would know where to go!

I'm still trying to match the faces I met to the names I see here. Thanks to some websites and references to events that I witnessed I'm putting together the puzzle. By the next NEST I'll be ready.

I would like to thank the academy for such a wondeful time.

to Drew70, my "biggest fan", hopefully the first of many

to my "brother", I salute you again!, everyone loved the outfit at the club...We'll keep that "between you and me" between you and me.

Terry, thanks for the invite to the "brotherhood", dinner was great, hope we made your birthday one to remember

AffectionateDan, thanks again for the ride home! It would have been a long walk! Cab ride? Um that hotel near the airport, on some street...

Ayla ny-Venraya, I'll have to work on my instigating <? for next year
It was nice meeting Laurance Taylor in the smoking lounge 😱 (I'm a social second-hand smoker) no it was NOT the former NY Giant, dont spread rumors

Bella, I'll have to fatten up for next year

and Bella, JPie, Desdemona, and so many other ladies, I want my leer turn next year!

"Now the incision! To remove the lungs...with the electric toothbrush", come forward whoever you were! We'll drink that liquor next year!

And of course to Jan and all who invested so much time in planning this event.

"Collin"

 

[TklDuo-Drew]

Uuummm...excuse me, Lite....but as I said a hundred times this weekend:

You're NOT innocent!

Although it was funny in the Venrays room before you went down on Sunday night.....what was it you said to everyone?

"I'm not really that ticklish"


Drew

 

[Raya]

I am not usually into long winded responses simply because I know I would not be able to do NEST justice.. I do, however, feel the need to thank a few people personally..

McGyver Tklr, my deepest apologies for jabbing a perfect stranger with my hummingbird, and deepest thanks that you chose to get even 😛 instead of mad. As purveyor of the Evil Tool, you rock. Bless you dear.. NJjen, lucky gal.. thanks for letting me borrow him for a bit (or did he borrow me?)

Drew (of TklDuo). YOU impressed me! Seeing as how you are the man I have tickled the most, other than my husband, I thought I knew your staying power. Your commitment to the Brotherhood is very strong, my friend..

Ann (of TklDuo).. lying is bad.. LOL 😀 Car trouble my ass!

TickleChgo, although I keep missing out on these fabulous foot massages, I was pleased to get a chance at you yet again. You have the cutest laugh.. Drew70, glad you got a chance to play this year, and pleased to be in on it.. You're a real sport.. Guip... love ya darling.. you are definitely a sweetheart..and a great lee..

And BigJohn.. thanks for so actively sticking up for the Brotherhood.. to the point that I had to play at the head of the bed for "fear" of your surprise attacks... Thanks even more for coming up to visit us after, keeping us company, keeping us laughing and wiping me out.. You're a real love.. TicklishMark & World Pilot, I hope to meet you both again next year, as I believe I owe you both some tickling.. Thanks to you both.. it was a pleasure to meet you...

Lite, no, you're not getting away with it anymore, but we love you anyways.. Trixie& Nightfall, thanks for almost single-handedly making my husband unable to move for hours.. although he still insists he didn't break! LOL... To JPie & Ayla , I always feared what would happen when you too hooked up.. Here's hoping Giantfan will make it next year (you were missed)! Sensudom & Desdemona, glad that we were able to hook up with you folks this year. It's always a pleasure. Deb.. keep working on that 'Ler side.. you're off to a great start! 😀

Collin, told you you would sign up! 😉

To Jan, Max, Bella, Lee, Dan, the name-tag guy 😉 and everyone else who helped make this happen, love to you all & thanks so much for including us..

 

[venray]

Trixie& Nightfall, thanks for almost single-handedly making my husband unable to move for hours.. although he still insists he didn't break! LOL...

I NEVER uttered the safe word my love, Just because I couldnt get up under my own power doesnt mean that I was broken....🙄

😀 😀 😀 😀 :Ray

 

[BellaRisa]

Not *ONE * more Big Bird Joke, I swear...

Between getting home three hours late due to the storms, catching up on both the vanilla business and the video orders and just recovering with a hubby who missed me and a Bellababy attached to each ankle, this is my first chance to sit and write 😎 .
There are way too many fine people to mention, I'm afraid I'll forget someone! Max, Jan, Mike, Lee, John, Andy, Danimal...you know I love you all. There wouldn't be a BellaRisa.com if not for you guys, I'm eternally grateful and I already miss you.

Trixie and Jpie, you HAVE to get to Columbus and see how we party over here!

Tero, thank you for dealing with the crazy little New Home Owner all weekend, I owe you muchly my luv.

Chris M...thank you. Toldja you'd like it!

I will never look at a birdcage the same way again. Ever. Ever ever ever 😉 .

Y'know, I'm really not that strong boys, and I'm kinda little...

Bella

 

[terorizer]

DAMN!!!

I WAS just going to post letting folks know I was home safely, (after 13 straight hours in airports/airplanes, I'm more tired than R Kelly's urinary tract). Anyway, then I start reading posts, which I knew I shouldn't do, and now I have to try and sum up an unsummable w/end. You know Philadelphia is already pretty historic, and as far as I'm concerned, we're doing right by the tradition, leaving a legacy with each year.

Max - Great job as always. Many thanks for your vision and efforts. Regarding your upcoming endeavors, you built it once and they came, they will again my friend. We are GOING to have to have that NEST jam session one of these days! I would write more, but I'm CATatonic!

Jan - Your name should be Grace, the way you handle the combination of sleep deprivation and probing fingers AND being the point of contact for EVERY PERSON COMING TO NEST!! When they made you dear, the mold started to fill up with but they got more patience and strength, and shoved it in harder!

Dan - From Tuesdays at Sudwerk's to weekends in Philly!! We're bicoastal brother! Can't wait for some Mo'shulu

Mkeemer - the man standing next to the man standing next to the man standing next to the... give "Dwight's" another chance, I heard they got a chicken shipment!

Bella - HUSH child! You know you are always and forever my favorite! Who else can I torment with references to Bowlegged Lou, the Duke Morgan Gang AND the sound of a ruler smacking against my hand? And SPEAKING of "else", NOW do we get to know what it is? Or does I have to go else hunting in Ohio? I know they're always in season.

Worldpilot - Thanks for navigating to Atlantic City. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Andy - You're going to need to consume that little lake next to ya to put back all the fluids those ladies wrung out cha! Here's to your picture collection and next year... would ya work the aisle NEAR your gate of departure first???

Vadim - Bella's not so tough! I'll show you how to hold her hand real nice the way she likes.

Big John - Here's hoping your next birthday outdoes the last one! ;-)
Besides, I know you ain't a scared of no bears!

Ayla - It was great to meet you finally. Remember, don't stand outside busy supermarkets in that skirt without a bodyguard! Oh and sweetie, why are you on the floor?

Pat - Ya barking pervert you!! I was going to get it already, but now I HAVE to go out and get the Looney Toones Golden Collection. I don't care if I have to "Surround the building!"

Collin - What could make a birthday happier than a room full of grown folks (ok, so-called grown folks) giggling and tickling and carrying on? Oh and you GOTTA teach that dance move. HELL NO not THAT one! I mean the blonde ballerina boogie!! And quit being afraid to tell kinky stories around Octogenarians! I know when I'm one, I'd want to hear Trixie talking about restraining a man.... Viagwhat??

BratGirl - Ummm... I want carbon testing done! You do NOT have children that age! For future references, now that you've "switched" sides, the next time you find yourself strapped down beneath eager fingers, the proper phrase is NOT "untie me", it's "But I'm a LER Dammit!!"

***NEST NOTE***
I'd say roughly 75% of the conversation you have at NEST (or any gathering I've been a part of) is non-tickling related. But there are tickling related conversations that will occur, and many times they take on a depth that may not be achievable online because of the real time element. There was a most excellent roundtable discussion which began at the social in the hotel and carried over to dinner. Pat and Brat and Collin and Vadim, those discussions might well be what I like most about NEST, thanks!

***NEST NOTE 2***
Speaking of Lers dammit.... DAMN DAMN DAMN!! Boom, don't tell me you almost made it!!! And DON'T get me started on the listfather!

Nightfall - I enjoyed seeing you and Shem again and I promise to never EEEEEEVVVVERR call a sandwhich with beef and cheese and peppers a "philly cheesesteak" without first verifying A) the cut of the meat and B) the roll. I'll just keep referring to them as hoagies...

Sandee - You hit that ground running, kept running and damned if you didn't up and take flight! Gawd do we need more like ya!

World's Cutest Couples - Duo, Venrays and Kwil & Lite. It just CAN'T be legal to have as much fun as you guys have! And Ann... the cookies... Mmmmmmm!!!! But I PROMISE I left some for the other kids!

Lee - Speaking of sweets, you're still scary for all the right reasons! Oh and break a fella off some more of that chocolate!

Jamie - I've got a question about the 2004 Honda....oh nevermind, I'll just e-mail ya.

Viper - You did a BUNCH of writing this w/end, we need to see some of it!

Alright, listen at me, like I don't have to get up and go to work tomorrow! To all the rest I met and re-met, Jen, Mike, J-Pie (ANOTHER one I want carbon dating on!), Josie, EDV, St Louis (coming face to face with history, what a blast!), Rodney and Pamela, Spenser and M, Chris, Milagros and the dancing feathers I just saw go by telling me it's sleep time!

Peace and Prosperity to all.

Oh yeah, the Brotherhood will ALWAYS rise above the Sisterhood because unlike SOME I could mention, we don't turn on our own!! Ha and double HA!
