Who wants to go to L.A anyway; it's always cold there!!!Oh man, are we gonna go through all this again, the 'dots' verses the 'non-dots.' Yeah, I know that if you're a forum member, you're supposed to be a dot, but it never seems to work out that way. I hope to go next year, but it always seems that something comes up, and I can't go. I did attend the Nashville seminar, and if they ever do get a chance to have a Nashville Rally, it's a three hour drive, so I'd be there with bells on. Me, I'm not sad...I say we plan a forum keg party....you bring the clotted cream and scones, Dave. I'll bring the pork rinds and Pabst.

I emphasize with all the unhappy souls who can't go to rainy grey dirty LA for the Rally I remember my first year of Taxi membership & forum membership, when lots of Forum members were talking about the Rally... and I felt pretty left out. I just couldn't afford it, no way. I hope all ya'll don't mind the excitment of those who are going... we'd love if it everyone could be there, it would be so much fun. Hope you can come next time,hugsHummin'bird

Forum keg party it is then Chits. I believe Bill G. isn't going to the Rally as well, so we can add one more member to the keg party list. Like you, I'd be going if it was a little closer. I've had so many things happen with my finances this year (tax bill, new central air conditioning unit still has to be purchased, had to buy a new refrigerator because my old one bit the dust, etc).....the Rally just isn't in the cards, but hopefully, I'll be able to attend next year.I also have some physical health problems (getting much better every day though) that I have to overcome, although I'm betting I'll be able to make it finally.
