My heartfelt thanks to all of my fellow Brownstoner addicts who showed up last night and made our gathering an absolutely fantastic event. It was wonderful meeting new friends and being reacquainted with old friends. To those who wanted to attend but couldn’t, hopefully we’ll have another party somewhere down the road. Special thanks to you Mr. B for allowing me to announce the event in the Forum and for joining us in the celebration. And I promise this is my last Forum post for awhile!

  1. wasder, what a pleasure to meet you in person. We definitely have to do it again.

    mopar, as with 11233, for some reason I didn’t get a chance to speak to either of you. I’m so sorry for not saying hello but certainly hope to next time. Thank you so much for attending.

  2. Demons! LOL! the very thought makes me laugh even more now that I’ve met you all!

    Right back atcha wasder!

    Gotta run for now, other parts of my life are beckoning…

  3. Just got here today. Thanks to Biff for organizing and to everybody who showed up. It was awesome to meet you all in person, if a little strange (good strange though). Nobody looked like my minds eye picture of them, which I guess is no surprise. But the event did confirm my suspicions that we are a diverse group of people from different walks of life and with differing interests and takes on the world of Brooklyn. It was cool to hear about everybody’s lives and neighborhoods etc.

    Shout outs to Biff, Dave, cobblehiller, slopefarm, Montrose, johnife, Adam Dahill, bayridge girl, denton, pitbull, mopar, Bob Marvin and everyone else who came.

    Thanks to Mr. B for showing up too. That was cool.

    What, you were sincerely missed. If you showed up to something like that imagine the greater impact you could have on the board. Plus wouldn’t it be nice to understand that we are not DEMONS!

  4. “Hiya Dave!!! How is everything? Great I hope, NOT!”
    That’s brilliant, The What. I wonder what other witty zingers you’ve overheard from the Lodi elementary schoolyard.

  5. lechacal, I’m really sorry. There were still a handful of us left until past 11, including BRG and slopefarm (we were sitting by the fire in front of the bocci courts). I was wondering where you were.

  6. Hiya Dave!!! How is everything? Great I hope, NOT!
