With summer officially here, I find myself going out more, of course. When I read a few weeks ago (months?) of a forthcoming GT, I thought: "Great!, It's been a long while since I shared a drink with some of the boys". Say all you will about sausage fests, GT's needing a bajillion girls or they be unsuccessful, and all the arguments many will no doubt spill, I still remember that the initials GT stand for Get-Together, and are not a fancy way of designating 'trade-show!"...
This last statement might seem incredibly ironic, especially coming from me. I helped inflate what used to be a much more modest type of gathering, until it became almost "de rigueur" to have as many girls as men present. I'll admit to having abdicated the position of GT organizer due to the ever-increasing expectations that became impossible to fulfill...
But I still enjoy our yearly get-together, and I love to chitchat with the american mafia as I call them
(Special K, Voyager, JoeT. and Rumples, Doc and the Beav' sometimes), and spend more time with Techie, Roland, Wide Open and many others. To me, the act of catching up and sharing a good laugh with my "homes" is what keeps me coming back whenever one of us decides to set a date...
Eva Charms, come on dooooowwwwwwwnnnn......
So I hope an actual date gets picked and people stop trying to change it for their own convenience...I might even show up....
