Ken and I are considering attending.

For those who are not camping, is there one main hotel that most people will be staying at? If so, does anyone know what it is?

Likewise, I'm interested in a hotel. I plan to drive and would be glad to share a ride with anyone along the way from Pittsburgh, Ohio, etc. Also would be interested in sharing a hotel room to split costs with anyone attending.

Have sent you an email re: hotel. Will send same to Plix and Ken. Suggest everyone send Bobbie an email - he's coordinating the MoMs - I'm sure he can let everyone know who's coming, etc. Then you all can email each other and make arrangements! This is getting bigger and better all the time. Really looking forward to it!

It is looking like this one will be a multi national meeting of over 2 dozen friends. Have a feeling that it may grow far more before it is all done with. Should be at least three countries represented. Europe, North America, Central America. We have them coming from East and West coast of the states and the border states of Canada.

Having already meet a good number of the people attending I know it far exceed any of the past meetings. Wounder how often this number of like minded people ever came together in one place.

Contact me if interested in attending. Please post on the thread as well.

I'll attend, live in the Twin Cities. May not be able to make all of the events. This group is great and I'll be glad to see folks for the first time. I've tried chemical castration for a short while and really liked it.

Todd, you are most welcome to come of course. I will be looking for you at the event.

Ticketing arrangements were completed this morning, and so I am now confirming that I will also be attending the August MoM. Is this the first time that Central America will be represented?

I really look forward to meeting in person the many friends that I have met here on the EA forums.

Wonderful! I am glad everything has worked out so you can attend. I am looking foward to meeting you. We should all have a great time.

You will be our first "Central American" and Thefraj will be our first European. All the previous gatherings have only included members from the U.S. and Canada. Are there any Aussies or Asians out there who might be coming???

Anyone thinking about attending the Minneapolis MOM should probably make a room reservation soon. It's easy to cancel when we get closer to the actual date of the gathering, but it will be prime vacation season in the area and rooms are already going fast.

I called yesterday to change my reservation and was told that the motel is nearly full for the weekend of the MOM. I just needed to switch from <non-smoking> to <smoking>, since my roomie for the event is practicing to be a chimney. Paolo and I will be sharing a space for the second time. (I took over his living room couch for a week last winter.) Tugon and Thefraj are scheduled for next-door. We hope there will be others nearby.

There are other motels in the vicinity and there may be sleeping bag space with one or more of the locals, but you ought to make your plans now.

My advice is to reserve now, and cancel in early August if you decide not to come.

Bobbie is the social director and general organizer for the event. Krister has been running local interference, checking out spaces and accomodations. I can also help with information about the motel where at least four of us will be staying. Contact any one (or more) of us for further information.

The way things are starting to look we may have well into the 30's before all is done. It may be bigger then many class reunions. In a way I guess it may very well be with the number of attendees that were castrated by Dr Kimmel or Dr Spector.

All friends of the are welcome. Come and enjoy a very special family of friends.

Well, THAT statement probably just knocked down the count some...

To all planning to attend - I WILL NOT be bringing my guns (none of them), nor my light saber, nor any of "my" boys, nor any dogs, cats, kids, :-\nor other assorted hangers-on. Anyone in attendance who has children that they no longer wish to support (biological or not) should bring them, however, along with legal papers and lawyer in tow, to promptly sign them over to Jesus and/or myself.

Yes! Stray kids are always welcome. I was shocked this morning to open the paper and find that half way down the front page was the headline, "Akachan Posutu: Shonichi ni 3-sai Danji ga Azukeraru - Kumamoto" [Kumamoto City: First Child Dropped off at the New "Baby Mail Box" is a 3 Year-Old Boy].

There has been an on-going problem in Japan of young women leaving unwanted babies in trashcans or coin lockers. One private hospital in Kumamoto, over strong objections, decided to open a baby drop-off point for unwanted infants. The story was in the national news for months. It opened yesterday, and the first child dropped off was a 3 year old.

All the hospital would say about him was that he knew his name, his father left him, and that he was healthy.

My wife's reaction was that Japanese foster homes (15 kids to a room is the norm) and orphanages (even worse) are snake pits. Maybe we should put in to adopt him into a bilingual home....

Paolo, my wife, and I all tend to adopt strays of various species.

How's that for an abrupt change of topic?

Hi all,

Due to EricaAnn's kind reminder (and nudge), I have air tickets in hand and will be flying and rooming with her. Figured if the Fraj could make it in from England, how could I stay home?

Tugon: Looking forward to meeting you. Your posts reveal a sweet, introspective person.

Plix: Please come! Would love to finally meet you.

THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT!

Terri

I paln on attending the meeting it sound like so much fun.

Terri this is very good news. I am looking forward to meeting you.

Ken and I are officially coming to the meeting

We have our tickets bought and our reservations made.

Considering the number of people who will be attending the August meeting, it looks like a number of subplots might develop. I can envision a horde of eunuchs, wannabes, low-T guys, transgenderites, gawkers, and fellow travelers, descending on Kristoff's kitchen the night of the sixteenth of August. They lay out Kristoff in his habit on the couch, sit Flo on him to immobilize the good sister, and then cook up an unholy feast--prime rib, pheasant under glass, quiche Lorraine, poached salmon, Muscovy duck, saddle of venison, crown roast of lamb, crepes suzette, bananas Foster, and a variety of trimmings, eventually consuming everything in Kristoff's larder, and every bottle in his wine cellar, while they engage in various forms of revelry and excess, playing every CD he has in the house and stomping flat the whole gamut of his furnishings and household decor. About four thirty in the morning, all the others, gorged and half soused, trundle off to the campsite, leaving Kristoff to clean up the mess and restock his pantry. That, of course, would be the prelude. About ten or eleven in the morning, things really get going.

No roast beast?

Maybe I can make a MOM in 2008? We'll see.

I just bought my tickets, so I'll be there also!

Just don't beat me up when I arrive, you hear ?

Letter went out to all that I have on my list of those attending the meeting. If you did not got one please contact me at [email protected].

This event will be more then twice as many we had at any of the past meetings.

WOW!!!

...WOW!!!

It appears that this particular MoM is a WoW MoM?

(I couldn't resist!)

I cant resist either: reminds me of the sailor who wanted to get a tattoo. He only had a small amount of money. The tattoo artist said he had enough for just two letters - he couldnt even get "MOM" tattooed on his arm. He had a great stroke of genius. He had the tattooist ink an "M" on each of his butt cheeks, ergo, it said "MOM." The added benefit was when he bent over and looked in a mirror - it said "WOW."
