Hypographers Who Meet

[Moontanman]

I enjoyed our Hypography meeting in the beautiful Martian city of Hyperion over looking the great Martian Rift Valley. The smoke from the oil well fires was blowing toward Olympus Mons that day and the view was clear, great day, great company. No! wait, I've just blown my cover, no one was supposed to know I am a time traveler What will I do now to heal the rift in space time I've just created?

Let me check the agenda... beer, football, beer, science center, beer, blues club, beer, rock hall of fame, beer, Amish strippers, beer, checkers, beer, bratwurst, beer, baseball, beer, fishing, beer, boating, beer. In our free time we will be doing some drinking.

I don't see whisky in there. Don't lose it yet, old friend!!!

Day 1: Woke up at 4AM, severely jetlagged.

Hm. Maybe a checklist is better:

Beer: Check.
Picked up rental car: Check.
Found 67 channels on the TV in my motel and nothing to watch. Check.

It's a blast.

Well, Jay-qu, it's been slightly more than ONE YEAR since our chat.
Perhaps we should do it again?? You still have my number?

[Jay-qu]

Chalk up another one! Today I had the pleasure of meeting none other than PrgmDave! Dave and his friend Angela came to a party at my sister's house in NJ and were treated to the full family and friends effect. The only problem was that I had forgotten to mention to anyone that I had invited him, so when he showed up he got some quizzical looks from the sisters, but was welcomed with the same enthusiasm that we reserve for all strangers who show up to a family affair claiming to know someone from the Internet. Meanwhile I was wandering among the guests, most of whom I have not seen in ten years or so, while suffering the effects of a 100 degree fever. Things were rather blurry to tell you the truth, and it got pretty packed in the house, but I think it is safe to say that a good time was had by all. Not only did Dave and Angela get to meet me; they got to listen to my dad and uncle trade stories about my grandfather; about racing cars; about philosophy; about religion; about racing bikes; about steam engines; about teaching; about lots of stuff! They met me, #2, #3, and #4, two sisters, my parents, my Mom's cousin and his wife, my Uncle, my cousin, two neices, one nephew, my Dad's friend Dave (at the table of Daves; Dave... Dave... Dave... Dave...) and his girlfriend. My sister's college roommate and her daughter, about six other friends of my sisters, the people from across the street, a lady who has know us since I was a toddler and her daughter, and at least 6-8 teens friends of my neice who we didn't see much of.

The party was for me since I had not spent much time in Jersey in... 10 years? That is when I built the treehouse, but I was there the next summer too, so nine years ago since I have spent more than a day or two.

It was great meeting you Dave. And Angela. I got at least one picture with you and I will post it when I get it off my sister's camera. I hope it was worth the 2 hour ride! I for one am thrilled that you made the drive. You are always welcome to stop in and have some grub.

Hope your felling better Bill.

100 degree fever !!! I deduce you must be talking in Kelvin...err...Fahrenheit...

By the way Tormod and I have met as well, twice. Even if we live in the same city since 2-point-something months. Bill looks like you are the winner anyway, because Tormod is the only hpographer I ever met...you are at least up to 2...

I wanna hear PgrmDave's side of the meeting with BigDog.
