Thunders Meeting May14 2005

Braggart! Just kidding :)

It would be nice if other members on the forum pull together small gatherings in their local regions.

It gives a chance for members to know each other beyond the online persona but of course some prefer to stay online and thats also fine. However for those that are comfortable with going beyond the computer…I think its a refreshing change of pace and its almost like an introduction to online dating except you are not dating and just meeting some of your Thunders buddies. :D

I wish I could have been there to see that. I will have to bide my time and maybe I’ll see it when the next get-together is in progress.

I tried that, but the guys in my area are timid and aren’t game. Hell, one of the guys, all I asked was, “How long you lived in Indy?” and he replied with, “What are you, some kind of stalker? I don’t want to meet with you.” <—— :wtf:

It is nice to meet friends with similar interests, especially ones you can talk about PE with in person.

As a blues man and blues harp player, I live 60 miles from Beale Street and a little further to Helena, Arkansas; home of the King Biscuit Blues Festival.

I must admit though, all my favorite performers are dead with the exception of R.L. Burnside.

Good to see you all weren’t slacking off totally. :thumbs:

Hey since tps was wearing his T’s Place shirt did you write that off as a business dinner?

Yes TT, but did you do your Harrison Ford impressions? Or maybe Walker impersonating Ford. That would have been a treat!! ;)

What a great thread this is. The meeting evidently was a huge success.

Thanks for sharing it with us . Everybody looks wonderful by the way.

Enjoying your links Mr. Nine. Thank you. :)

Sixer, :p

Maybe thunder’s should start a “meet and greet” thread of some description, where it is implied that those posting there are interested in getting together for a beer. This way those trying to make “stalker” overtures won’t have to feel awkward.

I’ve got a question: did you guys call each other by your forum names or what?

Imagine being at the next table while you guys were dining, and hearing names like Dino, Twat, and Super(Supersizeit) flying around.

It went back and fourth between real names and forum names I did catch myself calling out Twat a few times in packed public places.

Ha ha!

That cracks me up Dino! Everyone in the place must have been thinking you were a total prick - shouting abuse at your mate across a packed bar!… ;)

Good pics, thanks for posting. :)

I guess it is a good thing other members didn’t join them like, “HungLikeHolmes” or “HughGRection”, you get the point.

Among the many conversations that went on that evening, one topic was the famous, Twat recommended, Swedish Fish. In my vivid imagination, I had thoughts of Swedish Fish being this great aphrodisiac or love toy. You really had me going, TT! I was getting excited over the discovery of something new to experiment with. Even when you told me it was a candy I still kept thinking there must be more to this than meets the eye.

I must admit I was a tad suspicious and thought you might be sending me on a wild goose chase. You see, this has happened to me before. When I first met tps, and we were getting together at my house, I asked him what kind of beer he likes. Amongst other names on the list was Duff beer. Well, I went looking for it. Thankfully, I never actually asked anyone where I might find it. Tps had a great laugh over that one.

Needless to say I googled Swedish Fish before I went looking ;) I kept my eyes open during the rest of our NYC vacation to no avail. Then, as we were walking through JFK Airport, lo and behold, there they were. Swedish Fish! My quest is complete. :clap:
