Krister and I were just discussing that we were also a bit disappointed by the turnout in what promised to be an even bigger MOM than last year. It's turning out to be a smaller one, but we're still having fun.
Your loss, for those who didn't show up.

This is my first ever MOM and so far I have had a terrific time. For today's events at Eunuch Central, I didn't arrive until the latter part of the afternoon because I haven't been feeling well. Once I got there, I perked up

and enjoyed everyone's company and the great food. It is so good to be able to get to meet and talk with such wonderful, genuine people who really care about each other.
If there are fewer attendees this year, I have been in no way disappointed with anything although I can understand how the organizers and others behind all the good stuff at the Archive would be. What a great opportunity this has been to continue some existing friendships and form new ones. There is still more to come tomorrow

Hi I had a great time at the MOM on Saturday night, although I could only spend a short time there do to schedule problems.Everyone made me feel more then welcome. Bobbie served some great steaks "whew no leg of lamb" I didn't get to see or spend as much time with everyone but "ILLLLL be bawwwk" hahah.

I know that everyone that couldn't make it had there own reasons. I hope they can make it next year. Dave

I heard you managed to see Lilac but she didn't get to ride on your back. I had promised her a sheepback ride and I was to throw in the spurs
Maybe next year I can attend and Lilac can "spur on a wolf" - woo hoo

I would proclaim this years MoM a huge success. From Kristoff and his Red Nun's outfit and funs to Paolo and his light saber. Again Kristoff with his foam pistol toy pellet gun. The people the hog trough wondering if we were sane. To new learning and education for Levi20. The great disappointment to me was being down in numbers. We had far fewer at the 2008 MoM compared to the 2007 MoM. Anyone who did not make this year and was at prior years MoM's has changed their priorities and moved on to other interests and likely will never be back. Where are your priorites? You all have fun here on the boards and in the chat 52 weeks a year. Make your priorites right and start a savings plan to save the money for next years MoM. 12 months is a long way to the next MoM. You all had your chance to come to this one. Set your priorities right. Having a whole weekend with your peers is some awesome feeling. Having no one look down on you for how you feel and think.

Yeah, well, for anyone who missed it - YOUR LOSS!
It was, and for the moment while it's winding down, still is a good time.
Even as we speak, Gem is serving melons!

If I didn't have moving expenses to keep up on my lady and I would have made it this year. Next year, definitely!
