Victoria Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Guys, as you may know one of the Panerai-centric forums (Paneristi) is having a HUGE get-to-gether this Saturday, August 18, 2007, in Carlsbad, California. This is being called the Hammer GTG, in honour of a wonderful member who was left handicapped after a sporting accident. Well, if you read Risti, you know the excitement over there is at near-fever pitch! This is all they've been talking of for months. You can read more about it here: hxxp://hammergtg.blogspot.com/ (alter the url) Soooo. Anyone here going? Talk about Big Balls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 May just require small balls and a big gen LOL! Quite right too. Did you hear that in another Risti GTG, this time in NYC, one of the most well-known members got his gen Fiddy lifted by another member?? Well, they don't know who did it, but man, speaking of Big Balls...the upshot is that the other Canadian Risti members clubbed together to get Aurelio a new gen Fiddy! hxxp://www.network54.com/Forum/385842/ (again, alter the url) That's awesome, man. Love the name too: Operation Save the Fiddy! Yet, I wonder if we would do that here for one of us? *g* (Listen, I don't know if this thread should've been in the OT area, so please Mods, forgive me and move it should you deem it so!)

You think your coworkers would be agreeable to reprinting some of the pics here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 They are taking the pics for me. I would be going except that I leave for a two day fishing trip in Mexico at 4am (4.5 hours from now). I was told that there are some pretty good pre-parties going on this evening in LaJolla, CA. (where I actually live). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also never go to sleep before a trip -- too excited. P.S.: Hi Rolli. Missing you around here. EDIT: Look at the haul of "goodies" at a previous Risti GTG. Not bad! Greg Stevens, Micah, and others donated tonnes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
