Ben & Princess (& Prince) met in person!!!

[princess]

We finally did it! While Ben was out for a drive this week we met in town over at an Applebees. It was great to be able to put a person to the words I read!

Yes, his size 14 shoes would probably fit my foot in sideways.... yes, he's MUCH taller than me, even with my shoes that add an inch or two!

His car is nice & shiny! Looks like it is well loved!

As we were leaving I thought of many other things to talk about.... oh well, maybe next time!

Here's the proof!!


Ha ha! Beatcha to it!!! :lmao:

[stevel]

cool. :thmsup:

[anysia]

[BenjiBoy650]

Princess, thanks for uhm...lunch/dinner? Forgot to thank you earlier...and for the nice card too :blush:

[BenjiBoy650]

...

[princess]

It was really nice to actually meet you!

It wasn't much of a "meal".... so sorry we were late..... just a blonde moment! :blush:

Maybe next time we'll get a group together, more half way & make it more festive! :D

[Inspector1]

Glad you guys could meet up :thmsup: :thmsup:

Good pics both of you :wave:

I1 :)

just don't make me drive on long straight flat roads..... :lmao: or thru chicago.....

[princess]

Thanks, I1, I actually had a tiarra with me! That's what I'm adjusting on my head.... the other shots were "posed" & I really hate posed shots. The one I put on here has a more relaxed look, even if you can't see the tiarra. You also can't see that my shirt says "princess" on it with a rhinestone dotting the "i".

There's plenty of bay area people on here, I'm sure we should be able to get something going. In a park & have a BBQ or something!

We'll have to work on before school starts & life gets too busy again.

Remember, if anyone wins the lotto, we're partying at Ward's in TX!!! :yes:

[BenjiBoy650]

I'm up for an all Bay Area meet in mid August. Right around my bday :banana: Hey Mount Diablo or Mount Hamilton has some pretty cool driving road haha. Or we could go to Lake Chabot, I think that'd be a little bit closer in general for all our members in SJ, Fremont, DC, SSF and Antioch.

[Pairallel]

Wow - the world is getting smaller...all the digital drivers are becoming real! :yes:


But it sure feels lonely out here on the opposite coast.... :(

[princess]

The weekend at your birthday is the ONE weekend already booked for us in Aug. So I can help you get it planned, but not go. I really don't mind, if that the one that works best for the rest. So which place is best for the people from south bay, north bay, near east bay & pennsula to meet? It looks like you're right about Lake Chabot being fairly central. It's been years since I've been there, how's the parking/picnicing there?

Pair, there's several in your area too, isn't there? Get something started!

We ended up not sitting & chatting about stuff on the sight this time...instead now Benji knows all my car's flaws.... :D One factory, & a few tiny ones thanks to rocks. I should've detailed it, but it's been very cool & even more windy than usual, so I didn't. At least she had been washed a couple of days before.... so it could've been worse! Sunday I washed the Pilot & ran out of steam..

[feferic]

I'm so jealous -- I think I'm on the only person on here from Nebraska! :( No meet ups for me :(

[princess]

You could plan the "nowhere land" meet! North Dakota, Nebraska & inbetween! :lmao:

[princess]

Plan a vacation out here & we'll meet ya!!

[anysia]

Wow - the world is getting smaller...all the digital drivers are becoming real! :yes:


But it sure feels lonely out here on the opposite coast.... :(
pairallel, there's lots around nyc!!! stevel and i are heading there to meet up with michnyc in august!! we should plan something then!! are you close enough to the city??? we'll be out there sometime during the week of the 13 thru the 20th! :biggrin:

[stiller fan]

Wow - the world is getting smaller...all the digital drivers are becoming real! :yes:


But it sure feels lonely out here on the opposite coast.... :(

Pair,

let's see, michnyc, myself, anysia, along wih a few others that i can't remember..... enough to take turns being the designated driver during a long wknd... :thmsup: :yes:

[anysia]

You could plan the "nowhere land" meet! North Dakota, Nebraska & inbetween! :lmao:
an upper midwest meet. :lmao:

[stiller fan]

yeah, upper upper upper midwest..... :lmao: actually, that would be great plains / badlands area of the country..... :nerd:

ooooo, i know: if my leave gets approved for next month, i may be driving out to see my cousin in WY..... maybe i'll stop by! :thmsup: :yes:

Could do it the weekend before but I'm not sure if I can go...still trying to plan a roadtrip with friends hehe

[princess]

Makes more sense for you to be there...so go with a date that works for you...who knows I may be able to pop in for a bit.... we have a reunion on the 13 & 14th. (evening of the 13th & day of the 14th). So maybe if you did a 13th thing I MIGHT be able to get there.

Pick a day & we'll start making sure the ones from the bay area get notified! :thmsup:

[Agile]

I'm so jealous -- I think I'm on the only person on here from Nebraska! :( No meet ups for me :(

Lincoln here!

[stevel]

I'm the only one in WI I think, but I find a way to get together with people. :yes:

[feferic]

Ah - I'm not Alone... Lincoln here too :)

I like the idea of a mulit-area meeting... Or, if you are driving by on I80 and want to swing into Lincoln, just drop me a note and I'll see if it can work.

Lincoln here!

[princess]

There you go! Our first meeting was jus thte 2 of us from the forum....Prince isn't a member, just my sidekick.....or am I his sidekick? :dunno:

So pick a day & meet in Lincoln!
:D

[princess]

Maybe next time.......... :dunno:

I like flying, I'm just not thrilled about airports!

[anysia]

I'm not driving to Nebraska!!! I've been to South Dakota but I didn't drive my dad did! lol and I think we still have to reschedule our meet, maybe do it the week earlier. I might be at Bible camp on the 13th and my family is probably going to want me to do something that weekend.

[stiller fan]

No pooping on the party!

Ben, pick A date so we can get everyone notified & fired up about a local meet....

I thought the Neb. one was to be on Labor Day. The WI one is the 4th of July! :lmao:

[stevel]

yeah, anyone wanting to hang out that weekend is welcome to come to WI. I have room to accomodate several people. :thmsup:

[BenjiBoy650]

Ben, pick A date so we can get everyone notified & fired up about a local meet....

I dunno I think we should shoot for 8/6 or 8/7 even though I actually might be on a roadtrip with friends that weekend but I doubt it haha.

Stevel, I'm gonna take you up on that offer...someday in the far future haha

[stevel]

:lmao: let me know, but I'm downsizing so accomodations won't last long. but I'm sure something will work out. :thmsup:

[EXLNavi]

Wow - the world is getting smaller...all the digital drivers are becoming real! :yes:

[Inspector1]

Wow :notworthy

[stiller fan]

We could meet by one of the few trees that we have up here :biggrin: :biggrin:

I'd be up for a little meet, I am goin back to Tampa for 2 weeks in July though.

[princess]

Then get those Floridians going on one!! Georgia's close enough to include them too! :D

[jbuffethed]

my family could have one of their own

Me: '03 LX
Dad: '01 LX
Sister: '00 Special Edition
Other Sister: '97 LX
brother: '00 EX
:dunno:

[princess]

Yeah, I seem to remember a picture with about a half dozen parked at the house you were at! :D

[jbuffethed]

i was gonna repost it, but cannot find it. My brother just got rearended AGAIN!! # 4. This time was from an F-250. DIdnt get hurt thank god.

[princess]

#4? Maybe he's braking awfully late! Our daughter was the crunch (& ticket) queen in our family! Luckily she out grew it! I think the '82 was fixed 3 or 4 times, her '95 twice & a company car (brand new, at the time, Honda)

[Coil99]

the "nowhere land" meet!


If you guys have a meet in Knoxville, I'm definitely there! :drink:

[princess]

Isn't TN too close to somewhere?

[anysia]

Isn't TN too close to somewhere?


lots of states. :lmao:

[ericrwalker]

bump! wow, I was just searching things and I found a picture of Ben and princess, I sometimes wonder what people in here look like. Pretty cool :thmsup:

We finally did it! While Ben was out for a drive this week we met in town over at an Applebees. It was great to be able to put a person to the words I read!
