Good times at Vinny Ts! Thanks for all the work and coordination that went into this Pranksters and Gollygee -- we had a great time. T3 was out cold as soon as the van started moving -- but T2 kept stamping most of the way home . . . JUST ONE MORE BOX! Thanks to Good Luck Bear for patience, flexibility and driving! And thanks to our out of town guests! We are so fortunate that Geometry Junkie started all of this late last fall -- we're glad you had this conference, no matter how lousy the first day was . . . it worked out great for us! (Can't wait to hear about your presentation -- will Paul Revere be in it?)

I will admit I'm looking forward with trepidation to Friday's report from you, GJ -- I didn't mean to lead you too far astray in the New England wilderness . . . just imagine you had been Paul Revere with the Redcoats all around -- it feels tame now, right?!! LOL!

Thanks to all -- we had a blast!!

This was my wife's first meet, and her immediate response was "these letterboxing people are SO nice!!!"... Our seeker can't wait for the Sudbury meet, and our keeper is even talking about missing his soccer game to make that meet (if you know our keeper, that is tantamount to blasphemy!). On my part, its great to have more faces to connect to all the stamps I've seen on the trail now.

There are one or two exchanges we sadly missed in all the craziness, but we are looking forward to catching up with you all on the rebound.

thanks again to all...

I'll just add my 2 cents worth (which given the state of our economy maybe isn't worth that much!)

Thanks to gollygee (organizer extraordinaire), the Pranksterly Pete (restaurant picker and cheerleader), geometry junkie (for getting the ball rolling) and zess (for encouraging me to come).

I had a great time meeting the out-of-towners, putting faces to trail names and "re-meeting" folks from the Hookset event. (I even got a chance to eat and drink a little something amongst all the stamping). What a great community this is, kids and adults alike.

Watching the snow fall and fall and fall and fall,

Thanks for posting the photos people - keep 'em coming!

It was a great time. Thanks to all who made the trip. It was nice to meet some new letterboxers and also see many familiar faces. Too bad many others missed out on the fun. The photos tell the story - good food, good friends and many excellent letterboxes as well. Yum, Yeah, Wow, WooHoo!!!!!!!!! :o)

If any of you missed out on the new Maine letterboxing patch, contact Gargoyle Girl. It's a beautiful design. We have the Letterboxing Massachusetts(LBMA) and Grateful Letterboxer patches too if you're interested.

Special thanks go out to gollygee and her awesome support crew. It was a great idea and it all went perfectly. How nice to host some letterboxers from outside New England. Even snow was provided for their enjoyment!

Have a Grateful Day!!! :o)

Thanks so much to everyone for coming to the event at Vinny T's, it really was a fantastic time! And thanks to everyone for all of the nice messages on the boards today, I'm so glad you all enjoyed the mini-meet! Special thanks to Prankster Pete for helping with the restaurant reservations, to littlmoon for dealing with the bill, and for Gargoyle Girl for selling patches. To our newbie boxers- I really hope we didn't scare you away or overwhelm you with our craziness! :) And to our special out-of-towner guests, it was fantastic to meet you and I hope to see you again in the near future! :) To all who couldn't make it- you were missed!

See you all again soon!!!

-gollygee, Queen of the Mini-Meets :D
