Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Shameless plug...
...it was GREAT!

Best party on the planet.

Aside from the family members...of which there are many....

The final IWETHEY tally was n3jja, Tilly, kself, boxley, imric and, of course, the life of the party...ME!

Burgers were good (I cooked'em)...hotdogs were good (again...me) and the wings were good (again...me).

All in all, it was very hot out...but everyone availed themselves to the pool (some even went in voluntarily)....

We all have issues with one NO SHOW...who was missed because all of the Apple fanatics had no natural enemy in the crowd.

Seriously though...I hope a good time was had by all. It was my first "real world" meeting of Karsten and boxley...and we again find that this community is a unique experience...finding friends in far away places...thanks to the wired (or in my case) wireless world.

Oh...and K really likes wireless broadband...and Debian recognized the wireless card...unlike Mandrake...so soon I will quite possibly apt get. (yes...it seems I've been infected)

Um...er...well...I have no choice!
New Wait...that didn't read correctly....
The "aside from the family members" should be set off against the tally of iwethey attendees. The party was great because of ALL the attendees...including the family members.

Just wanted to make that clear.

We've been trying to come up with a count of attendees....and so far were between 60 and 75....a smaller crowd.

Also, the party wound down a little earlier than usual (except for the 5 am closers) due to the fact that I was NOT in possession of any fireworks this year.

That is all.

New I thought you were...
...going to say, "No, that doesn't mean 'butt-plug'!"

I miss Tilly.

New Ditto!!!
New Don't forget spouses and SO's
We had several. Including my wife.

Seriously I had fun. Even if I didn't sleep. And I got fireworks
on Wednesday anyways. Not as close up though. It turns out that
the view from a boat is not as good as the view from my roof. But
the company is better on the boat. (This was for a surprise party.
My cousin thought she was going on a private dinner cruise with a
friend for her 50'th birthday. There were a few more friends along
than she expected...) So I now have 2 parties to recover from and
not just one... :-)

A note for Karsten. Noah was *visibly* taller on Wednesday than he
was on Sunday. (For everone else, my nephew Noah just turned 14 and
is about 6' tall. We think he is going to turn out to be a big guy.)

Cheers,
Ben
New Hi Ben, Welcome Back :-)

New True enough....
only Karsten and imric came as a solo. Ben's lovely wife was in attendance...as well as n3's lovely SO, boxley's lovely wife and cheeldrun...

It was well attended and I am glad that you enjoyed yourself. We did stayt up a little late (or early...depending on your POV) This was the first year of no fireworks after dark...as we had no supply. Besides...these things are not exactly legal in my hometown.

Last year the police thought the display was pretty good...and they told me when one of the neighbors complained....otherwise they were content with leaving me alone.

Saw Karsten again on his way back through town...now he can cruise in the daylight with less eye strain.

And I got a copy of the old IWE archives.

Um...er...well...I have no choice!
New will rectify the no fireworks problem
next year Ill stop in SC and get a couple dozen artillery shells, and some assorted stuff.
thanx,
bill
can I have my ones and zeros back?
New Taller than Karsten? Gosh.
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
New Karsten isn't that tall
I am taller than Karsten.

And I have been convinced that my nephew would be taller than me ever since he turned 11 and was wearing size 13 shoes.

Of course it helps that both of his parents are over 6' tall...

Cheers,
Ben
New I forgot he was wearing platform shoes :)
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
New Very sorry I missed it.
I would love to meet some of you in the non-virtual world.

Gee, that didn't scan right. Try again.

I would love to meet any of you....

Yeah, that's better.
