NEST is Happening!

[TklDuo-Ann]

LOL....So much for taking further stuff to PM. 😛 Since everyone seems to be keeping it here, I'd like to clarify. We will ONLY have a gathering here when Dan comes to the east coast if there ends up NOT being a fall NEST at the same time. Otherwise, I'm sure we'd all like to converge on Phili again. Either way, I'm sure fun will be had.

they hijacked the thread, Max! and I had nothing to do with it! I swear! (really regretting the choice of a sleeveless sundress right now)

getting to see you guys is definitely part of the plan. my last name sure ain’t Cleaver… we’ll both need the escape. 🙂

and Dave, it IS a matter of time. it’s already been too long.

Dave, you’ve met my Dan! but you haven’t met his Tracy yet! I’m really hoping that you guys make that tour sometime soon.

but Drew, the more important question is… will there be cake?! I’ll bring the beer… but since I can’t cook to save my life… Ann? brownies? my favorite fuzzy fellow still gets all misty eyed at the mention of the ones you made for NEST.

Just a matter of time, bee rabbit. 😉 You oughta spend some time dreading the day we actually DO get my long lost bro back down here for a visit...

Ooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! Did somebody mention Ann's brownies? Mine! Get back! I've got a spatula, and I'm not afraid to use it! (proceeds to do a fair Homer Simpsonesque drool over the notion of a pan of brownies...)

And I thought I heard everything related tickling

I didn't knew you guys up there reunited to party every year.
I didn't knew what is NEST.

Now THIS is simply so wrong it makes me simultaneously stunned and sad that someone has gone this long without knowing about this fine tradition.

The feller *I* last saw was still womanizin' and such. That boy sounds like I did, 'fore I moved and married. I wanna witness the spectacular. Lookin' forward t'meetin' you, darlin'. I figure it's a matter of time, and I'm ever so patient.

Drew, he's male and American, brother. There must be beer. Even guys who don't drink beer have some for the rest of us.

Hooya callin' a wymmenizer, pilgrim? Ya'll best be smilin' when ya say that, pardner! 😉 Okay, okay, so I have lots of lady friends inna community... somebody hella wise once told me, "it's all about the love". And I LOVE ticklin'... 😀

Beer? That yellow liquid that tastes like carbonated pee? Sure, I keep some on hand for deviant guests who don't share my sophisticated palate... 🙄 😉 Besides, everyone KNOWS that the one true nectar of the gods is Dr. Pepper, ennyhoo....

*Crawling out of bed and wiping my eyes*

Have I missed something?

Poor Maxxiekins, just ain't got his game on until he's smoked a coffee and had a cup of cigarette... 🙄

I would be happy to lend my culinary expertise to the affair. Does the bear have some favs besides brownies that I can offer up? Would love to come if the dates work out right!

In the immortal wisdom of Garfield, I never met a lasagna that I didn't like. And ya can't go wrong with just about any kinda dead cow cooked over fire. And if it's got "Alfredo" in the name of it, it's prolly a winner, too.

Hiya Max. We're scheming. You are, of course, welcome to scheme, croon, or slack about in idle splendor. All's good in such things!

How's about I croon about slacking in scheming splendor? 🙄

I make one mean lasagna, then when you come lasagna it shall be! I am sure the others involved would not mind sampling my lasagna as well!

Re: 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....😀 😀 😀
