I am speedy.

Decals here: ~ Order your newbeetle.org decals (stickers) ~

Which Beetle were you driving? I'm missing a few names and I'm trying to put names with cars with faces. Please remind me of your name and car! Were you in the pink shirt? Spring?

Either that, or you're buninuquebug's little sister. Either way, gimme your name!

Thanks! It was greating meeting you!!!

I gotcha! Thanks. Was the person with you named Ralph? Husband? Friend? Relative? Now that I'm home, I wish I'd asked so many more questions! There wasn't enough time. We need to do this again.

I have everyone except 2 people and weinerdude. I kept calling him that ('cause of his shirt) and now I can't remember his real name.

Katie, look at the first pic in this thread - I've got most of the names and faces matched up. Missing a few though.

Katie, thanks for organizing this! I'm so glad you brought us all together! I had such a good time and I definitely want to do this again! I had such a nice time meeting everyone and everyone was so nice! It was so cool to go to my first real GTG.

Ellen - thank you for the Black Eyed Susans. I just read in the other thread that you got some bad news today. I hope you're OK. PM me if you need to talk. I always like seeing you and it was nice to hang out today!

Kevin - It was really nice chatting with you! I enjoyed talking shop about computer and Illustrator! I hope we get to met again some time. You're students are lucky and priviledged to have you as a teacher.

Weinerdude (Tim) - I think I might share a sense of humor with you. You understand jazzhands, and that's important to me. I also need to know your real name.

Carl and Melanie (mludv3bug & buniquebug): nice to meet both of you! Don't be a stranger around the .org!

Spring (and Ralph?): You are a really nice girl! I wish I'd talked to you more.

Chris/Kris (sp?): It was nice getting to know you. I'll always think of you as the "pinch my cheeks" girl.

Chris: I still owe you a beer or two. Thank you SO MUCH for changing my air filter. That means a lot to me and I'm very grateful.

Ed: Your family is adorable and I was glad to hear there were many smiles on your face today. I enjoyed meeting your wife and children. Oh, and I think your pants called me on the way home today!

Alan: Oh Alan! You always crack me up. Sorry we didn't carabug on the way home! My mom spaced off at the exit and we ended up taking Route 24 back home (same way we came). Hope you know it's nothing personal. Enjoy the Kitchen Cooked chips.

What a great day. Nice Beetles, good conversation, nice people. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my Saturday. Thanks to all of you for making this a memorable and fun day!

(pics coming soon...)

Erin, you got the name correct (Tim), and I was driving the blue color concept...

While jazz hands are an important part of life, don't you forget about spirit fingers!

I was a cheerleader, spirit fingers is the name i am more acquainted to!

[callisto9]

While I acknowledge spirit fingers to be important, jazz hands were a part of my life first, so I feel I owe it more respect.

You can't have spirit fingers without jazz hands!!

More pics!!

Hi again! When's the next one I had a really great time. I wonder if that flint lady will pop in here & join. I hope we do this again soon. We need more time to chat.
I hit a horrible patch of rain with Tim following me. I didn't want to slow down too much, I just wanted to get thru the storm. I wasn't looking too much to the sky so I probably drove right past the funnel clouds without seeing them I'm glad everyone got home ok. I hope Chris got home ok. I should have waited for her, I feel bad that she drove without carabuggin. I won't have time to do my pics for a few days. We all got alot of the same ones I think.
