[Barlibash] Until We Meet Again....

[Polly Grabecki]

Hey fellow bashers! What can I say? Words tend to elude me on this once
in a lifetime experience. Driving home yesterday, all 9 hours of it gave
me a lot of time to think on the experience, and what an experience it
was indeed. I want to say think you to all that took a part in making
this a trip of a lifetime! To single out any one person is really hard,
there were so many that helped out. But 2 people come to mind right
away, jincey and Hannaboffin. 

Jincey: Thank you so much for putting your years of experience in
organizing to work here. Without you, the bash never would have been
what it was. And, a really, really special thank you for showing me the
way to soften up pats of butter (wrapped of course) in a hurry. :)

Hannaboffin: Thank you for opening up your home and Tim to all of us.
What a great evening for fun and fellowship you guys provided for all of
us. And, for you guys to have gone so out of your way to get us all
where we needed to be when we needed to be there made things easy for
those of us that are deprived of the big city experience in our real
lives. :) Hey Tim! Can you come to my house and work for me on my next
big party? I pay in drink. hehe

Oh heck, why stop there? :)

Julie and Corvar: You 2 are great! Julie, you did a great job of
arranging the local stuff for all of us and we do really, really
appreciate your efforts. The subway, excuse me, the T was a unique
experience for me as I have never done that mode of transportation
before. Once po explained things to me and I studied it, I almost
understood it. :)

Po and the Elf: what can I say to you guys. I love you! You are just so
much fun to be with, no matter where or what is going on. Wish we were
closer so we could get together more often. :( I truly need an elf fix
now and again to keep things together. :)

Mal and Al: you 2 are truly unique! I was so glad we finally got to meet
as you are the ones responsible for giving me my screen name when I
stumbled into Alqualon way back when. I'm just sorry we didn't get to do
our mini HOF in the Boston Common. That would have been just great, but
a HOF with Al to debate just would not have been the same. :) And, the
blonde made a great target at Dicks! Hehe

Miss Kitty and Laura: hmmm, what can I say? 2 Great people and loads of
fun! Both of you are just way to shy for your own good! :) 

Nocturna and Angmar: what a cute couple. The light and the dark, but a
perfect match. Just luv you guys!

Balin: The gentle dwarf that couldn't make me feel more a part of the
group then you did. I look forward to the next time we have the
opportunity to get together again. You are definitely one of the
highlights of the TORn chatroom! :)

And, finally there is Lursa: My roomie and what a sweetheart you are. It
was a joy to share a room with you, and I had the coffeepot to keep you
supplied with caffeine and the puter soo you could keep in touch on
other then your cell phone. I do think we did great sharing a room and
you're at the top of my list for roomsharing again next year sweetie! :)

I know I've left people out of this, but it could go on and on and on.
Just suffice it to say that this was a vacation that will live with me
forever and at a time that I really needed it. You are the best thing to
happen for me in a long time and I look forward to getting together with
all of you again, I just wish the bash happened more then just once a
year. :)
