Anybody remember the DU party in Boston a few years ago?

[Renew Deal]

I think it was in 2005. There were a lot of people there. Me, BlondieK143, Rev. Acts, Will Pitt, BigMcLargeHuge, DS1, JohnnyBlitz, Bluebear, Redstone, some lady who is a Red Sox fan and had changed her name. She might have been banned since. Some creepy guy who had started the photo contest threads and has since been banned. I think LynneSin was there too. And a bunch of others. That was a lot of fun.

1. My dear Renew Deal!

I sure do remember it! I didn't get to go, but I recall all the conversations about it. I had just joined, and was still working...

It was 2005...

Good times, good times!

:headbang:

2. I wish I could have been there. Like I said before,

I will meet some of y'all one day! And y'all will never be the same! :yoiks: :P

[DS1]

3. What was your name then?

THe first one might have been Kathy in Cambridge aka Rational Rose. The photo contest guy was Longgrain.

Yes, remember it well.

[sniffa]

4. I see Longrain

[Shell Beau]

5. Longgrain is the guy!! The one he thought PMd crazy pics.

Yep!

[no name no slogan]

6. He went off to one of those "other" boards

and became a woman, if I remember correctly.

[Shell Beau]

8. Hmm. Well you learn something new everyday!

[Renew Deal]

9. That's the guy.

I'm pretty sure I heard from someone at that party about it. And he was there!

[Shell Beau]

19. I remember some crazy stuff about that guy.

He, however, is not the guy I was talking about!!!

[Renew Deal]

7. You're right. It was "Kathy in Cambridge-Rational Rose"

SarahBelle is in the second picture. I don't remember why she quit DU. I liked her. I recognize you, Sniffa, and Blondie. Longgrain is correct too. lol

[DS1]

10. She's very much still here

:)

[Renew Deal]

11. I thought she left. Different name?

Is it a secret?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. It's no secret.

She's talked openly about her being here before. Her current name is SarahBelle. I just did a simple search to make sure...

She's married to another DU'er, and is a nurse.

:hi:

[Bossy Monkey]

15. She shortened it to SarahB

Though her journal still says it belongs to SarahBelle: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/SarahB
She's married to Pale Blue Dot, who was Finnfan.

[Renew Deal]

18. I think they got engaged in NY.

I remember them coming to some bar and telling everyone.

[jonnyblitz]

13. I drove 5 hours in the pouring rain through the hudson valley area

of New York to get to that bowling alley in Boston after having my armed tattooed for about 4 or 5 hours a day for 4 days straight (my sleeve tat). :crazy: I mostly remember John Kleeb at WillPitts place from that event. :D

on edit: I assume you are talking about *that* meetup. I attended a few lively Boston meetups. I don't remember Lynnsin at the bowling alley meetup though.

[Renew Deal]

14. That's the one.

I drove up from LI in the pouring rain. It finally started to clear up when I got close to Boston. No fun on the Mass Pyke!

[jonnyblitz]

16. ok i know who you are now. I remember you at WillPitts talking

to Bettyellen and myself while we were parked on the couch! Mentioning LI gave you away and I don't remember your old screenname though i should and will go OH YEAH as soon as you tell me. I don't recognize many of the recent screenname changes. :hi:

[Renew Deal]

17. Yes, that's me. Is Betty Ellen still here?

I haven't seen her in ages.

[jonnyblitz]

21. she'll show up here and there on a thread but not so much lately.

I am not around so much either so maybe she is around when i am not.

[Bossy Monkey]

22. She posted the other day

I've been seeing a lot of old DUers around lately, and I'm always happy when I do.

[GOPisEvil]

20. Yeah, forget me, will ya?

I only flew half-way across the country to be there. Hmph.

To say nothing of yvrgirl who flew from another country!

I'm offended. Offended I say.

Well, not really. But I was there, and had one hell of a good time.

Jesus, you forgot matcom too! :D

[Renew Deal]

23. I did forget Matcom

Though I don't know how. I remember meeting you. It's nice to meet a Greek Texan. You bring some culture to Texas. :D

[Rising Phoenix]

24. I remember it well

good times!

blondie and I, back when I had another name!

[meegbear]

25. Nice to be forgotten ...

story of my life.
