Greetings from the Frozen North, the place some call the Great White North.

Tonight several members of the Archive, on holiday in the Mid-West, were treated to dinner at Kristoff's home and backyard. I must say, the dinner was mighty fine and filling too. The liquid refreshment was outstanding and the tastey treat after couldn't be better.

This is just the beginning of many eatting opportunities during our annual MoM event in the Mid-West. Tomorrow we are schedule at Jesus's accomodations for cocktails, snacks and fine chat. Then off to dinner.

We miss you all who could not attend.

Take care and stay tuned for our next installment tomorrow.

Hi everyone, Just starting a thread of the event up in the MidWest. I myself got here Thursday. River and Gemm picked me up at the airport on time. River was coming one way, and I was coming the other way, and both of us looked at one another at the same time and gave a big smile knowing who we both were. Then a big hug. Was very nice to finally meet him. So, we then went on and ran some errands they both needed to do while out. We got home some time after 5pm. Then we went over to Talula's place to help him with some buttons for name tags. It was very nice to meet Talula finally. Very cool guy. I enjoyed visiting with him. OMG!! His cat is Huge!!!! Beautiful, but a shy one.

Then River made some hamburgers on the grill for us and we ate. Was good. Then later that evening Ken, Plix and IEunuch, got back, and we visited for a while. Ken is as lovely as anyone might have thought. Plix I had met a few yrs ago, and was great to see him again. He is still as quiet as he was then. IEunuch is as wonderful as everyone thought.

We talked a while then they all retired to where they were staying. Then River headed to bed, and I the same, but on the futon. Was very comfy. River is going to make us some breakfast today, then off for many things to do today. Talk to ya later.

Big hugs, Lilac

I'm glad you finally were able to meet the notorious guys from the Boards and chat.

Two questions, however:

1. Did River show you his balls? (the ones in the jar)

2. What did you think of Rupert?

When I was told to meet at the Restaurant I was worried. HOW will I know anyone? Do I yell "Hey is anyone here Testicularly challanged?!" Or maybe I just give them one of my Androgel Pens and wink? Well I guess that fact that I didn't know the secret Handshake is what had me really worried...

Thankfully some of you are brave and use your real pictures so I could tell where the MOMs group was.

To those of you who were whispering "He is not black!" and "He doesn't look at all like a plastic doll head with a Mohawk" all I can say is I'm sorry I'm not black. I'm trying as hard as I can....

To recap my experience -

Erica Ann is a way cool chick that I loved gabbing with. I think your the Paula Prentiss of the transgendered (And that HIGH praise from me) I love the "Chicago-isms" I also loved your story about changing the M to F at the DMV. Ha!

Terry your are quieter then a mouse but also quite the "babe."

Sister Kistner WILL have to be dragged kicking and screaming back into comedy if I have anything to say about it.

Uncle Flo it was cool to meet you and I'm glad you are feeling good.

HeySuse (Aka Jesus) you are a cool dude and remind me of several teachers I had that didn't put my to sleep (And there were not many of them) I'm glad out Mutual Friend the "Prof" is doing ok and writing.

Rog Rog Rog. You UK guys are neat. I think your the Fab 4 of this loonie bin. I was cracking up so bad when you were trying to sit through that phone call poll thing so our hostess could get her bonus points.

Plix thanks for telling me what your Avatar is. Its much cooler that its a falling star then ahh... what I thought it was. *ok, I'm a dumb ass I thought it was a Fertility test slide.

My Fellow Sailor friend that I sat to and everyone elses names who I now am confused who is who thanks for listening to my really bad jokes and pretending some were even funny. Your the best!

Budly Bear. I didn't get a chance to say much of anything but your much better looking in person then in your Avatar where for whatever reason you look small and sick?

Oh! IEunuch you don't look even a little like your Avatar but your are much nicer then any SYSOP should be. You must start reading books written by despots and dictators and start getting POed more often. Get a stuffed animal or two and just start punching them for no reason.

I Loved the Light saber but next time bring two so the hostess can fight it out with you Paolo!

Hi again, Wolfie, River said you are a "senile old Perv" Yes, I did get to see the famous jar, and yes I met Rupert, he is a very friendly, lovable cat.

Well, today we started out going to the movies I seen "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry" Was very hilarious. Then we came back and Picked up River and headed to Jesus's room for a small get together, which ended up being close to 20 of us, we had a nice time talking and laughing. Then we headed out to dinner at a nice place called, "Country Buffet" we had a great time. We will have the big get together Saturday. I will let ya know how it all goes.

hugs, Lilac

Unfortunately, I'll miss tonight's dinner. This was the one part of the weekend I could definitely get in. I'm recovering from a 6-week asthma flare-up, though, and when I went outside to get in the car my lungs felt like they were closing up. It's the high humidity on this rainy day in Minnesota. To avoid the risk of having to start prednisone again, I need to stay home. Hope everyone's having a great time.

With all the rain, I missed this year's MoM event on Saturday. Too bad I never planned on attending an additional day of joy, fun, and laughter. I'll miss you folks at the cold, rainy, Minnesota Mid-West Meeting of Members.
