Just a bump for this thread, as it would be wonderful to see numerous of Jason's friends and admirers a week from this coming Saturday evening.

If you live in the area, as many of you do, please consider dropping in, and if you're visiting the area or can make it down for the Meet-N-Greet, that would be wonderful, too.

Ok, boys. I've been officially invited and now I have to take note.

With gymfresh as my host, and mem, lex, and Bbucko and TopDudeFtl, and whomever coming, how can I resist? Jason would be spinning himself into a dust mote if I did'nt...so I won't not.

See you in a few.

xx

Mem is in New Jersey due to a family crisis and will be unable to attend the meet-n-greet planned for this Saturday, to his regret.

I'll leave it up to you who have planned on attending if we should postpone it or go forward as planned. My personal vote is to go forward with this one and plan another later in the spring, perhaps when Lex and Bubba come down for one of their much-anticipated visits.

What do you think, peeps?

I'm definitely still up for this Saturday. In fact, very much looking forward to it.

Later in the spring sounds great, too. As for remembering our friend Jason, we can certainly toast him this weekend and maybe a weeknight next month... his birthday is March 10, a Wednesday, and I plan to be around.

I'll miss Mem and others who can't make it this weekend. Hope all is OK.

Excellent!

I'm still up for it. We can get together again when Mem gets back as well.

I'm sorry that I can't join you guys. I'm at home and my Mother is in Hospice care at home. I don't have internet access at my parents houes and just happened to find an open wifi connection.

I hope you guys have a great time at the Meet N Greet and I hope to meet you all at the next one.

I'll be seeing you guys at Humpy's at 7:00 tomorrow :biggrin1:

Heck, we can make it a regular thing! :cool:

I'm all for that. Mem and I try and see each other at least once a month, but it's not some exclusionary "date night". The more the merrier; I'll PM you (and anyone else who'd like to join us) next time we have dinner.

I'm sorry that I can't join you guys. I'm at home and my Mother is in Hospice care at home. I don't have internet access at my parents houes and just happened to find an open wifi connection.

I hope you guys have a great time at the Meet N Greet and I hope to meet you all at the next one.

I hope she's as comfortable as can she can be and that her suffering is brief, my friend.

I never knew Jason and you all sound very close but please accept my condolences. He sounds like he was a very loved guy.

Mem! That's terrible! I'm so sorry for what you and your family are going through. I hope your mother is comfy, and happy.

Tense0000: I'm not particularly close to the others going. I'm still just getting to know them. I was very fond of Jason, but I'm sure that's not all we have in common. Come on out, meet us, break bread, have a drink.

Everyone else: I'm hopping in the shower right now. See you folks soon, I hope!

I'm so sorry my plans had to change and I can't be there physically.

But you know I'm there in more than spirit.

You'll be calling me....(Don't panic if I'm still on the subway and don't pick up immediately!)

And I'll be down there to hoist a glass to Jason, soon.

All love, Nick

Hey babe, are you home already? If so, you must've flown! It was really wonderful to meet you, Bbucko, TopDudeFtl & s.o. and hung9mike at tonight's Meet N Greet. I hope we'll do this again next month with Nick8, Lex and lots of others.

To those who couldn't make it: after a fun dinner at a very busy Humpy's Pizza, we raised a toast to Jason_els at Georgie's Alibi, then settled in for a comfortable chat at the outdoor bar.

Dinner was supposed to have been on me but the restaurant wouldn't take cards over the phone, so next time, then.

I wish it hadn't been so loud so that Bbucko's speaker phone could have allowed me to talk to you all at once, but it was good to make contact nonetheless. It felt awful to have been at a party on Staten Island :)yikes:)when my heart was in Ft. Lauderdale.

I'll coordinate with Lex so that we can all be there together for the next Jason_els Meet and Greet. After all, he started these things; the very least we can do is carry on and build upon a great tradition.

I'm glad you guys had a good time and I will be there for the next one. Thanks to all for the kind words about my family emergency.
