By the way Kristoff, stock up on the vodka and the olives and get your party shoes shined up. 😄

I am not sure what to expect at every MOM. But if Sister is wearing red shoes and starts to click her heals together. It is time to leave. OH MY!

Each MOM is so different. Each is so great.

Everyone on my list of attending should have received a letter today. If you did not please contact me. Do not want to leave any one out.

There will be 15 attendees this year. I guess the interest MoM's is gone. Each year it grows smaller and smaller.

I woould guess the economy plays a major role.

I suspect that economy this year has a lot to do with it. I've been keeping count since the first one I attended (9 people) through last year. Each was bigger than the last. This year will see the first drop in numbers, though it looks like it will be a very great drop in numbers. There were gatherings before I became aware of the Archive. I suspect that they were smaller yet.

The MoMs are always great fun. If you're within driving distance, consider joining us for at least part of the time. You'll be glad you did.

2 years ago was our high number. Last year was down and this year is down even further. Oh we who are there, will have fun. But it appears the interest is diminishing. MoM's are just not something of interest anyone in this group it appears.

15 is fine, we will have a wonderful time of that I am sure.

Next year the economy will be much better and we will have a lot more people. I am not concerned about the number this year, I actually thought it would have been even lower.

We had one in 2001, sort of unexpected.

I drove north to get away for a while.

There was me, Talula, Gem, Bboy, Krister, Robby, & Flo.

As I recall, we watched "Last Eunuch in China". Worst movie ever made...

Harry Potter 1 and LOTR1 had just come out, and Talula was bitching about LOTR and no Tom Bombadil. I always hated Bombadil in the books...
