OMG, I'm sure I can't even put into words the great memories I have of this. I think I was reading and posting on SF for a good year before we started planning the first meet and I had to convince Bob that I hadn't completely lost my mind to want to go to Vegas and meet these people in person. nhmajik and I had chatted quite a bit, and we arranged to buy tickets near each other to see Bill Engvall out there. The very first people I saw at the designated meeting spot were Gene and Sharon, and then nhmajik came along with Steve and I felt like I had known her forever. We ended up going to see Bill (I think we had second row seats) and we laughed like crazy. We met Ting, Treyster, and Dragonslayer. I remember writing in my TR how, much to everyone's surprise, that you really could meet great people online. The rest is history. My only regret is that I have not been able to convince one person I know or have met in my "regular life," to join us or to even be able to explain how much fun it is to hang with all of you. I guess most people have to find their own way to the best group of Jokers on the planet.
