and I still want to go again!!
I think the best tactic to make the weekend go swimmingly would be to capture Meldy as early as poss on the Friday, tie her up in a sack and bundle her into the boot of her car.
RB, if you look at Waisterworld, there is a photo of a few of us from last year.
It is a strange feeling meeting people for the first time when you know them very well, and the picture you have of them in your head and the accents that you imaging they have can sometimes be at odds! But the interesting thing is that they are all friends, and the normal 'getting to know you' type things don't apply in these situations.
If people are really nervous, perhaps we could all put our names on labels like we do at conferences and we could all wander around gazing at each others chests. What do you think XB???
Friday evening, strange location with lots of strangers and a game of chesticle gazing.
Yep. I'm up for that.
there's more pics on Richk's site too
i love meeting new people because I am the shy and retiring type!! lol
just spent a couple of hours today with a guy who went in January (I had never met him before but chatted on the forum) He is very jealous and wants to come again.
New peeps are fun and we all have so much in common. Its not like we dont know what we like doing??
When I was at the London Expo last year - I was queuing for the loo when I saw someone I knew (I think it was Fifi), after we had greeted each other I told her that I had seen Hippo and Shades and Beanz!
For some reason I was getting some odd looks from some of the people in the queue!!!!
A couple of the ladies in my group never know whether to call me Linda or Rio. I have told them as long as it is reasonably polite they can call me what they like (although I think after a hard session its not necessarily that polite!!)
I am useless with names anyway so will just muddle along as best I can
The runs are mostly on soft forest tracks so you are unlikely to do more damage.
Unless of course the physio comes out with a definite nono.
Pseduonames are good, ive got to grips with most names on here now, it would be a nightmare doing real names too.
Cant wait getting really excited
RB and Rio - definitely forum names - to suddenly use real names would be like suddenly calling your hubbie / wife / kids etc (delete as applicable) by somebody else's name - it just doesn't work!
Quimby ring them - there may well be a place you would fit in quite nicely at your distance and pace!
Two weeks to go!
