[BRowars]

Aaron:

I got there at 12:45PM and had my watch case etc;no one there!

I asked the girl at the front desk and she said no one else had showed up...so I left

I tried but did not see anyone else that loked as out of place as I did with a case under my arm

Next time

Another very useful tip is to wear some kind of clothing which are easily identifiable.

the resturant i picked out had a total of 7 tables with people at them, and i was the only one with a 10 watch case - hard to miss

[ubiquitous]

Having almost missed a GTG once myself I can attest to the fact that it's important to have an idea of how to identify your crowd... Think I spent a good hour in the lounge of our GTG last Fall... Boy did I feel silly...

[takashi]

I see... If that's the case having cell phone number is certainly gonna help a lot. Good luck for the next gathering and indeed I am looking forward to see it happens.

[superwmnx]

Was that at a Dave and Buster's? I wish we lived in FL we would have been there. We are going to be in Fort Lauderdale from the 14th-18th until we leave for our cruise.

[nxuan]

Sorry to hear. It is very cruel.

[fotoman]

that sucks phoband.... i'd come hang out but i'm in uhhh....ohio.

Should i add that to the list? Uhhh....Ohio i'll put it in next time.

As it relates to the spotting the table bit. - Last year i put up a written sign - Sponsered by Jetmid

But i also had a smaller watch box -

Like i sadi before, i had planned on doing more followup with cell phones and stuff, but i had a last minute out of town thitng, wed -fri and i had a cold so - it just didn't happen

its a shame.

[Chronus]

sorry to hear that Pho, what kind of restaurant was thatt? I would have love to be there. and enjoy the nice weather instead of this crappy 16 degrees here that I am dealing with.

I'd be happy with 16 celsius here today

Have a handkerchief hanging out your back pocket and 1 ear-ring.

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Wish I could have been there but I live in another country.

[Chronus]

15 votees in the poll, looks like it was a potentially big GTG

[Usil]

Sorry your GTG did not work out. Anticipation followed by disappointment is a bummer. A few of us have had good luck in Paris and we would be glad to have you join us on the next one.

Would that be the "JETMID" shirt?

Sorry for your work that didn't "pay" off Pho, I know the feeling all too well.

[Sylar]

You should have put your watches on the table in the position of where people were siting and made it a night out for the watches thread.

Super bowl weekend was a "deal breaker" for me....It would have taken an Al Quaida death squad to get me to drive to the east coast that weekend....I really wanted to go, but I usually avoid that side of Florida like the plague during season, and the super bowl crowds sealed the deal...Sorry ....Frank

[takashi]

can be anything... Perhaps colour or printing.

Hey guys-

Sorry to get in so late on this one.

Stretch was able to get out to D&B earlier than I was. He got there around 1230 I think, and he said nobody was around- he called me and told me not to come, which is a shame because I had Big Bangs for everybody-

OK I didn't but Stretch said he passed through a couple of times, and didnt see anone and left.

We can have some kind of confirmation set up next time.

-O

[TwoTone]

@Sociopath

They changed locations and didn't tell ya...

They decided they only wanted conservatives in the gathering...

Oh well, maybe next time Socio...

Well at least tht explains why nobody showed up.

Now young lady, about this little name calling problem you have...Shame you did not show up so we could discuss it in person.

Maybe next time.

[fotoman]

Cmon now kids - lets play nice

Besides - new &improved - you know we have to give a little extra care to those "conservatives" cause they are "special" - you know, they rode the "short bus" to school
