Steve and I are having a bromance. It has been great fun . And thanks Steve, hopefully she agrees with you.

You're right on Nate, been told this a few times in the past but it can be difficult to remain chill when I tend to be very compulsive. She is the same way so I think that works well for us.

Quite right you are Gene. Pretty sure I'm already in love but I'm not sure either of us are ready for that. Thanks Vicki.

Thanks folks. Not popping the question, way too early for that, but it's an important stop enroute to that destination. She's an absolute keeper, of this I am sure.

Made reservations for what I believe is going to be a very very important date tomorrow night with the girlfriend. Also going to get a suit after work for my cousin's wedding Saturday and then going out to eat at my favorite Mexican place with my parents, sister, and grandfather. Life is seriously good right now.

I'm essentially echoing Mike's sentiments here, but you are an all-around great guy Steve and absolutely a friend of mine. I admire your courage and kander. I liked Ryan's point on assumptions; I will entirely admit that I always assume people to be straight and of course this can (and has been) incorrect. It just goes to show, never assume anything. Wish you the best Steve, can't wait to hang out again friend.

Nothing. There wasn't a single DAC present at this meet.

I don't think any of us care at all really. HF is now possibly the least useful site for me on the entire fucking Internet.

And I do believe I cherry picked all those tickets. Yes I accept gratuities.

I'm up. Mike and I are meeting down near the front entrance (by the starbucks) to get coffee and something light to eat. We will be around early. So yeah stop by if bored.

VANJAM!!!

Kinda early for pics.

Ok we got Ryan, Doug, Marc, Steve, Birgir, Jim, Jeff, and myself at Giordano's. Logical first meal for Chicago is deep dish, so that's what we got going.

Sounds like we will have a decently-sized group for lunch here within an hour. Assemble the army.

Decided to stay at the girlfriend's last night; just arrived this morning, am sitting in Jim's room at the moment.

Will do Ed. I'm staying in Jim's room tomorrow night so we can check out the situation no problem.

Sounds good alex. Anyone who wants to chill send me a pm. So far I know that Jim, Steve, and I will for sure be there. How much time the organizers will actually have to chill remains to be seen though lol.

Leaving directly from work tomorrow, should be at Hyatt by 5. Mentally I don't feel ready for this at all but I guess I'll just throw myself into the fray and we'll see if I can make it to the other side. See most of you soon.

really this is what i've been doing the last 4 or 5 days, but i somehow have a new girlfriend. probably won't be around as much for a bit and suspect to become a great deal poorer than I already am. worth it though.

happy birfday

yuck. after april, fuck that.

Jin, Vicki, Shelly, and Scott - thanks very much, really appreciate it . though i've told him congrats about 10 times already, here's one more for Colin. Chris - it's good shit eh?

fully finished with junior year. now a senior. yay.

have a great day ari

just to reaffirm what vicki already said, we aren't here because of how the site looks (though i think it's fair to say VBulletin >>>>>>>> Huddler). we are here for content and community, both of which HF has lacked considerably for some time. make sure you have the right intentions to being with, otherwise there is little point in wasting our time or yours by trying to adapt over here.
