Nice evening
The evening started with a dinner CaptRenaud and I had, our first time meeting after many years of exchanging information on the business, the girls and other subjects by email. We discussed about a number of things, had many flashbacks. It started the evening great and we later decided to head to the GT. Why not?
First impression when I got at HDLM was the lack of familiar faces, except for Tom who I recognized right away. He was sitting with a cute black woman who didn't seem too drunk when I came in, only when they both came out! A date from hell? Investing for the future Tom?
Candy was a great host. She walked in front of us and introduced herself when she saw us coming. She took me by the hand (hmmm soft hands! lol) and presented me to everyone at the table. Thanks Candy!
The setup was a bit too static IMHO, too much table seating. I preferred the way HDLM had this area setup in the past, with higher tables. It helped people communicate with each other, and we could more easily walk from one table to the other and engage conversation more freely in the past. Maybe it has to do with the fact other people were already by the piano, sometimes having glances at us and slowly figuring out what we were all about?! Oh well...
Unfortunately I got to speak to a few merbites but not too many. In attendance when we initially came in were Tom and his black cutie, Darrel (Magnetic Escorts), the unique Candy, the very cute Morgan, and... the breathtakingly beautiful Bianka! And her every movement is sooooooo feminine! Oh my! ok ok CA, focus, you're retired... focus, FOCUS! CA!!!! (lol ). Ooops I almost forgot...there were some guys too! Sorry, she must have gotten all my attention. LOL... shijak, champs1000, algol, rex kramer, rook01, forever newbie, and a few others I forgot the handles. Sorry guys.
While CaptRenaud, Rex Kramer and I were talking (I was more of a listener than a talker at this point), three very well known ladies came in: Anabelle (of formerly Celine's Fantasies), Sweet Maria, and Anik (just-ass-weet). We pulled chairs from other tables and we all sat together...
The discussions were very interesting, ranging from Anabelle's new studies to Maria's trip to Thailand, and eventually the business in general. I know I got kinda carried away with some loud argumentation with Maria about differences of work styles as an Indy vs being part of an agency, the rates, the security, etc, but it all made the evening more enjoyable.
All in all it was a very nice evening. Although it was not a full-fledge GT yesterday, it was very nice to attend and meet new faces. I hope the next planned GT (April 28?) is far enough so that more long time posters will be able to attend.
