July 23-25, 1999
We went to New York City (via Newark, NJ!) to meet old friends and make new ones.... (As told by MsGini) |
|
|
On Friday, I was the first person to arrive and my first 'mission' was to go to
the airport to meet Xavier (who came in from the furthest distance - San
Francisco!) When we got to the hotel we saw Traveler while he was checking
in, before he went on his 'mission' which was to meet Ruth's plane coming in
from Tennessee.
After resting up from the trip I went down to the lobby and called Ruth's room... (Ruth dear, I don't know why none of the pics of us came out on my roll of film... I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that Trav may have gotten some with you in it too?!!?) Anyways... even though I don't have any of the pics of Ruth SHE REALLY WAS THERE!! She said that she was going to come and she DID COME ... | ||

| Saturday night- At "Webster Hall" (nightclub). Actually, we started out on Sunday morning if you want to get technical... it was just after midnight when we left the hotel to go to the club. | ||

| Saturday/Sunday- Outside the club, just before we split up and said goodbye... Traveler's brother Cris and his friend joined us while they are here visiting from Denmark. | ||

| Saturday/Sunday - I had a pic taken of me with the guy that I 'grabbed' to take the picture you see above!! (Actual time we left was about 4:30 am?!!) | ||
|
So.... the turnout was MUCH lower than expected... but do you know what?
That didn't matter much at all to those of us that came! We had a blast
together, and Trav is already asking when and where is the next one!!! It was
really a pleasure for me to meet those people that attended for their first
time and it was a whole different feeling to see some of the "old" folks from
the DC Gathering! (Like seeing your cousin that moved away??!!) (Anyone that
attended is invited to offer captions for some of the pics above, to go along
with or replace what I wrote!)
If you see any of the names listed above when signing up for a Gathering list, you can be SURE that they'll be there!! "MsGini" | ||
