What is this exactly? Will SRD be there or is this a meet n greet?

As far as I understand, SRD only attends the dinner and interview part of the "official" elohimfests at danlo's in Albuquerque. I guess you could call this one a meet and greet. More or less a "meet-up" of Watchers.

What Menolly said. It's a meet n greet. 8)

But not a 'greet the meat.' That's the Adams meet-up in the summer (or something else I'm sure I don't want to know). :mrgreen:

I'll be there.

It's beginning to look unlikely that I can make it. I am sad. :(

julie is officially out. her boss informed her that she has to work that week so the boss can take a class.

julie wants to send me, but i am not sure about the fairness of that.

it's not fair to burden Julie with the guilt of you not going. 8)

wayfriend, that reminds me of what the teachers wrote on most of my school reports.... "has a big mouth" :D

I've been steering clear of this thread, thinking if I don't come here and say it, it won't be true.

I can't go into specifics because of confidentiality requirements (most of you won't be familiar with Australian companies, but just to be safe), my company is in the process of being bought by a bigger company (capitalism: big fish eats little fish). We are not sure what the ramifications for our jobs will be, but it is very unlikely I'll be able to replicate the work-from-home arrangement I have with my current employer and it would be too far to travel to the new employer. In short, my employment situation just became very insecure and whilst I can 'afford' an o/s trip, I don't think I can 'justify' it as I may need my savings to cushion the transition from fulltime worker to freelance pimp.

I haven't definitely ruled out this trip, mostly because I was looking forward to it too much, but it isn't looking good. :cry:
