Title: How many IHD family members have you met personally?
Post by: Bajanne on September 03, 2009, 08:55:55 AM
I was just re-reading the thread where Jessica met Kitkatz.  I am thinking that Kitkatz is probably the person who has met the most of the IHD family personally.
My list is easy - Livecam
                     Everyone who went to the Las Vegas 2008 Reunion!

I have been fortunate to attend 2 Las Vegas IHD Meet-ups and one in Chicago. Got to meet a couple people at RSN meetings and saw some members on my trip to New York.
Let's see if I can do this:
Kitkatz, Sluff, Mrs. Sluff, Bajanne, LilBajanne, Boxman, Chris, Patton, Zach, Goofynina, Vandie, Epowife, Epokid, Jill D, Meinuk, Bill Peckham, Rerun, AHarris, Epofriend, Paris, AlohaBeth, Tubes, thegrammalady, Jess21, peleroja, flip, Hemodoc, kellyt, xtrememoosetrax, florida.flyer, hmmmm not sure who I am leaving out. I have also met Kitkatz's hubby, sister and mother, Paris's hubby, Jess's mom, Jill D's hubby, Tubes's grandparents, thegrammaldy's daughter April, and a few other family members/friends that I am blanking on names at the moment. (Please forgive me if I forgot someone - let me know!)
Sadly 2 members I have met have passed away.   :(
Three have gotten transplants.  :)

Awesome!

Hey, Chris, do you know anything about The Metro venue in Chicago? THE band from Wales, the Manic Street Preachers, will be there October 1 and my husband so wants to go and support his countrymen. They are not a very well known group outside of the US, but in Wales only Tom Jones can compete in popularity (and they appeal to two entirely different crowds). I am trying to decide if it is worth the effort and hassle to get babysitters and head down for an evening. I worry about having to stand all night, too. Any seats there at all, or is it just an open ballroom style?

 :thx;

None unfortunately but I did have a telephone conversation with our much loved and an sadly missed Goofynina and also OKarol.

It was so funny when I first phoned Susie (Goofynina) she obviously couldn't understand my northern english accent and I think she thought it was a wierdo phone call because she hung up. So I redialed and put on my best Queen's English accent and then she understood.

We spent most of the brief phone call laughing at the misunderstanding. I'm so pleased that I got to meet her at least verbally. And Karol it was great talking to you also. I do so wish I could meet more people on this forum.

I'll look into it at the train station on Monday when I go to Northwester. I'll be going to Chicago each week this month starting Monday and there is usually something posted about what's going on downtown. The stuff I had I sent to kitkatz and didn't keep spares of 2009 events.
