The Big MidWest MOM's Event of 2007:

[Uncle Flo (imported)]

Unfortunatly, Hamms beer is long gone. The old brewery is near my house and it is gradually being torn down as the brewing equipment is being sold off. --FLO--

My time at the MOM was delightful. However, I felt unwell so I left early Saturday and didn't return Sunday. When I got to see my doctor on Monday I was taken to the Emergency Room right away. I had developed a life threatening infection (not related to my recent castration) along with a larger than fist sized abcess. Emergency surgery that night and I'm slowly recovering. I apologize to all those at the MOM who thought I was returning Sunday. I was too sick and feverish to continue. Thanks again for a wonderful time and I'll see you next year! --FLO--

I am glad you received much needed medical attention. Your health comes first and now you can look forward to future MOM's.

Yep! There were photos were taken in abundance. as soon as I gather them all -- as I still have two photographers left to get images from -- I will see how the group feels about distributing the photos to non-attending members.

I think that many (myself include) would perfer to remain in stealth mode. My concern is having my pix show up as a poster boy for "castration." A lot of my main stream friends etc would NOT understand and I would not care to have the job of educating them.

I kinda figured that would be the case with the majority of folks. So when ever I finished up collecting the photos I thought the best thing to do would be to make either an online gallery that was password protected and/or distribute them by DVD to all the members. I don't have a problem one bit with mailing out DVDs if it comes to that.

Hey, I didn't INJURE anyone with it.

That light saber is in the hands of a rowdy 4 yo. now, by the way...

I've been known to sport a lightsaber myself from time to time. I prefer the obi-wan version best.

As for images, no one can see them unless Incuse has given them a user ID and a password. The link is not publicly advertised, either. As for requesting it, not to be rude, but if you weren't there at the event, don't ask.

I saw a pix of Uncle Flo t-shirt which read: "I'm Happy I'm castrated."

I plan to get one similar to that. Mine will say:

"I'M HAPPY UNCLE FLO IS CASTRATED" Heh Heh Heh Heh
