Okay, it's tomorrow night and at this point I have 8 of us pretty sure we'll be there and one very slight maybe. If anyone knows of someone planning to be there that isn't on the list below, could you either let me know here or email me at valquesta@yahoo.com? Thanks!

So far I know of:

Me, Valquesta, of course
GM Heiu
Garelith
Nilme
Nilme's other half, of whom I do not have a character name
Nimmi
Samsaren
Siduire

And Elavin is a slim maybe. :)

Anyone else?

As some kind of 'kin' to Svidran and Siduire, think I"ll be there too, bringing the 'gentle giant' I live with as well, even though he doesnt enter the realms,he's always up for a good meal and good comapany, so count me in as two!

Let me know when the next one is being held! I wanted to go, but after graduation and dinner with my family, I was exhausted beyond all reason (grin).

I did see Samsaren at the raffle, so he knows to remind me. I read the boards regularly now, and can keep them read enough to catch if there's a post here.

Sweet. Sounds good. Maybe once we get furniture and my wife lets me get a big table for a LAN party, we can have a gathering at my house...we have a nice barbeque pit and stutff in the brand new facility we live in at Land O Lakes.

- Honey, I want to have some friends over.

Who are they?

- I dont know.

Uh. Where do you know them from?

- From online.

Have you ever met them?

- Oh yeah, we hang out all the time!

In real life?

- Uh. No.

What do they look like?

- I dont know.

How old are they?

- Well... I think they are mostly around my age.

You think?

- You never can be sure.

Guys or girls?

- Um... I dont know.

- But It'll be fun! These are really great people! Trust me!

Yeah, 'cept my wife plays DR too...

She had a blast at the last gathering we went to together! Got to know several people and she thanked me for dragging her kicking and screaming to the gathering (takes a bit to get her out of her shell).

Hopefully when we get furniture and make the apartment look a bit better, then we can have the gathering here.

Happy Holidays!

It sounds great, but I think it could use a little more cow bell.

Okay. It's that time again! Would like to have a local gathering of Florida folks in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. Will most likely be located in Tampa, along Dale Mabrey. The date is Saturday, June 18th. Exact time and place will come later, but usually we meet somewhere around 4ish and then migrate to a food place around 5:30 - 6:00ish. If people either Email me (play.net addy) or reply here so I can get an idea of how many folks to expect - I'll get a reservation at a restaurant so that we can sit at a decent hour. :-)

Thanks, and look forward to a good turnout! So far, we've managed 13 folks at our peak...I think we can do better!

Nah.. We did that for our holiday gathering - but I think we'll just stick to a simple get-to-gether this time, as some of us are really poor right now and dinner is enough. ;-) Besides which, I don't want to go into the co-ordination of a gift exchange thing without having a room available like we did for our holiday gathering. You'll just have to wait 6 months for white elephant! :-)

Number of people that respond will determine where I set this up at. So far, I'm going with you and your wife as a yes? Plus me and my boyfriend and Orlando has at least 2 trying to head over. We're up to 6 with a possible other 4 that I need to check on via phone call (since they don't read this board.)

Hey there.

My wife most likely won't be able to come, since she works overnight at a nursing home Fri/Sat nights.

I'm gonna ask a few friends to see if they'd like to come along. Might try to convince some people to start playing DR...lol

We'll most likely have another one in a couple months - sooner if someone else wants to co-ordinate it or I'm feeling especially energetic. :-) Sorry that it fell on SimuCon weekend - but - it's one year from the date we had our first 13 person showing! So we have to celebrate and try to beat it!

Most Painkillers + Booze = Bad

The only painkillers that doctors would recommend taking with alcohol is ibuprofin. Taking any other pain medication can cause chemical sideaffects.

I know that I am attempting to bring in a few FL DR players that do not read the boards. I may even show up myself. If that does not make it a party, nothing will.

I was, and I was not happy about it. Then again, I like getting a paycheck, so when they send me to South Florida on the latter half of the first week, and want me back there at 8AM the following Monday...

It was just easier to stay at my buddy's place in Miami.
