Email from Teresa about JK's birthday KAP event

[rox63]

Did any other Massholes get this email today? It's about a birthday party/KAP fundraiser happening in Boston on JK's birthday. I'm trying to decide if I can afford one of the cheap tickets or not. If a couple of us could manage it, it would be a great way to present the birthday cards to our guy. :D

Here's the link for the RSVP:

https://contribute.keepingamericaspromise.com/events/20051211_Boston.html

Dear rox63,

John's birthday is just around the corner, and I hope you will be able to join us for a special celebration. On December 11, we will gather in Boston with friends and family to support John's new grassroots action committee, Keeping America's Promise.

John founded Keeping America's Promise with one goal in mind: build on the foundation and momentum you created in 2004 and channel it toward strengthening our party and electing Democrats in 2005 and beyond. And that's exactly what he's doing. Keeping America's Promise is supporting Democratic candidates in tough races, standing up for the principles that make our country great -- and engaging millions of concerned citizens in the fight for change at the grassroots.

Click here to RSVP or for more information, or contact Jon Patsavos at [e-mail] or 617-263-3389. And I do hope you'll join us, because we are at a crossroads in America, and we all have a role to play.

If you are unable to attend, I hope you'll support Keeping America's Promise by making a contribution today.

There are daily reminders that the Republicans who run Washington have lost touch with the values and priorities of the American people. Forces outside the mainstream now seem to effortlessly push Republican leaders toward conduct the American people don't want from their elected leaders: abusing power, inserting government into our private lives, injecting religion into debates about public policy, and ignoring real problems that keep American families up at night. Moreover, we have all witnessed as Katrina has exposed not only misplaced priorities but also a terrifying lack of competence.

In the wake of Katrina, millions of Americans are reengaging in our democracy. At Keeping America's Promise, John is inspiring as many Americans as he can to join him in tackling the immense challenges facing our nation. By developing a grassroots organization committed to promoting progressive candidates up and down the ticket across America, John is doing the hard work necessary to elect people willing to make Washington work for Americans again.

I know that nothing would be more gratifying to John on his birthday than to have his friends and supporters join together behind this new effort. All of the ingredients are in place for Keeping America's Promise to make an incredible impact: organization, leadership, momentum, an unparalleled nationwide network of grassroots activists -- and maybe most importantly -- a nation deeply concerned about this administration's failures and ready for a new direction.

Together, we can help make it possible. We can give voice to our values. And we can lay the groundwork for electoral gains in 2006 that give us the power to bring change to this land.

On December 11, I hope you'll join us on John's birthday to lend your voice and ideas, and help us raise the resources needed to make Keeping America's Promise a growing success. If you cannot attend, I hope you will show your support by making a contribution.

Thank you for your continued support and friendship. I look forward to seeing you for this very special celebration of John's birthday.

Warm regards,

Teresa Heinz Kerry

[LeftyLizzie]

1. Wow! That looks like fun.

I wish I lived in Boston - that sounds like it would be something fun to go to. Also, I see that Teresa is using the "Kerry" in her name for this - I know that some people have been critical of her for not always using the "Kerry" after the election, but she's always said that she'd use it in a political context, which she is clearly doing here.

[globalvillage]

2. You should go.

I'm jealous. You get a party invite, and I get three copies of the same letter asking for money. Oh well, guess he is your Senator after all...:cry:
Hey, maybe Santorum has a birthday coming up. :cry: :cry: :cry:

[TayTay]

3. Hey Rox, that sounds like fun!

I would love to go. (I might even be able to find something to wear. What do you wear to a Birthday Party for your fav Senator? Something in blue, no doubt.)

Dec 11th is a Sunday, it would be Christmas time, I could peruse the lights on the common, take in some shopping and finish up at the Park Plaza.

Now, Whome and any other Mass folks? Wanna go and get a table (or half a table as the case may be?) It could be a cool 'girl's night out.' (Come on Whome, you know you want to go and be with us.) Christmas, Hannakah are coming, this would be a nice gift to yourself. (That's how I'll phrase it to my husband.)

Respondez, s'il vous plaît. (Oh, I just love it when I get to ask in French.)

(BTW, I did get this in my e-mail. But I never got the fundraising snail mail last week. Now I feel kind of special, like this is my home state Sen or something.)

[whometense]

4. Well,

- sniff - I haven't been invited... My daughter was, though.

So I'll just sit quietly in the corner here and feel left out.

I did get the snail mail letter last week, though. Maybe Teresa feels threatened by me? :evilgrin:

[TayTay]

5. Well, that's odd.

It had to be an oversight. (Wanna be my date? LOL!) If you and Rox and me and 'the player to be named later' (come on there are other Mass folks out there who want to go) all say yes, we could have a hell of a table. (People would be asking, who are those laughing fools over there and why are they having such a good time? The Senator doesn't even get here for an hour. Why are they so happy?)

Why, we would be the envy of the Kerry group. Do you realize how many people in this group would want to go to Sen. Kerry's Birthday party/fund-raiser and can't for reasons of pure geopraphy. You would be representing them. For the sake of the group Whome, for the sake of giving Vektor somthing to haiku about, for the sake of the children (okay, WEL is not a child, but there are young 'uns here) it's your patriotic duty. (Okay, I'm done. That's my spiel and I'm sticking to it.)

[whometense]

6. I'll see if I can

pull myself out of my snit.

What's the deal in terms of cost?

[TayTay]

7. $100 for the least expensive.

Don't think of it as $100. Think of it as money that goes to relieve GlobalVillage's pain at having Santorum as a Senator. (Gosh, that makes it a noble cause, for goodness sakes.) The money goes to the PAC, which will liberally spread it around for the usual reasons; truth, justice and the real American Way. (And we would get to kibuttz at the Park Plaza. Not my fav hotel in Boston, but it's okay. C'mon, I sense you need only a nudge to be talked into this. Bring your daughter. Or just have a girls night out. Fun to be had, my dear, fun to be had.)

[rox63]

8. I'm not sure I have anything suitably elegant

to wear on a night out at the Park Plaza with John and Teresa and a few hundred of their closest friends.

[TayTay]

10. I know I don't have anything to wear.

But I only have to impress you and Whome and whoever else from here goes. (Ah, you guys can't be that hard to impress. I'll wear something sparkly. It'll be fine.) I'll be in the back in the cheap seats anyway. (Which is fine by me.) It'll be dark. No one will see me. No dressing stress.

Rox this would be fun. Maybe we could ride down together or something. That would be lovely. (Christmas shopping, or right to the b-day party?)

[rox63]

13. I'll sleep on it

And will probably buy the ticket in the morning. I've gotta hit the sack soon (work beckons at 7:30 each morning), and I don't feel like digging for the credit card at the moment.

[rox63]

11. Ok, maybe I can do it

as a Fitzmas gift to myself. Can't scrimp too much around the holidays, right? And I'd have some time before the event to shop for a new outfit to wear.

[ray of light]

16. tax deductable Fitzmas gift as well.

[globalvillage]

12. Yes, whome. Pleeeeeeease go.

For me? Seriously, I am incredibly jealous that you all are invited and I'm not. If you go, it will make me feel better. I'll whine if I have to.
Tay Tay, my friend with the Santorum buttons had to order another batch. Seems 100 anti-Santorum buttons don't last long these days. If I send you two, will you try to slip one to Teresa for me? Better yet, I will send enough for everyone here who is going to the party (without me).

[Island Blue]

9. You've gotta go Whome

You've gotta go for all of us who live vicariously through your Junior Senator because our senators suck so badly. I mean, the best I could hope for is an invitation to Libby Dole's birthday party and as fun as I'm sure a night with Libby and Viagra Man would be, your party sounds much better. Do it for us! Please.

[TayTay]

14. Yeah, what Blue said.

We have to do this for the collective good of all our sisters (and brothers) who have to suffer through insufferable Senators. Can you imagine going to a Birthday Party for Sen. Santorum. (Lithium for all.) How about those poor, poor folks in Oklahoma? They make Liddy and Viagra man look nearly sane, for goodness sakes.

For Duty and Humanity! For the sake of all these people who want to know how Senators celebrate their birthdays. Do it for them. Think of the humanity. (Think of our PA friends in here. The money goes to a very good cause. Think of it. You wake up next Nov. on the first Wednesday following the first Tuesday in Nov and read the headline that Santorum will haunt PA not more. And your contribution to the Kerry PAC was the deciding factor. The nobility, the glory. The party at GV's house. The awful hard-sell I'm employing here. Yeah, I'm spent now.)

This could fill up, depenidng on which ballroom they have at the Park Plaza. We should decide by Friday, methinks.

[Island Blue]

15. Self delete

[whometense]

17. I'll think about it,

I promise. I mean, I guess I could steal my daughter's invite. :P I'm not a big fan of the formal occasion under normal circumstances.

[TayTay]

18. Geez, I don't think it's that formal

It's not black tie or anything. I will wear nice pants and a nice jacket. If other people are better dressed than me, then i will choose to sit in the darkest part of the room.

Otherwise, who cares. It's not about me. I will just go and have some fun.

[whometense]

22. Ok,

Count me in.

[rox63]

26. Ok, now I've gone and done it

I just paid for my ticket to this shindig. And I sure as hell am not planning on going alone. So who else is going to jump on this ship? And should we try to present our birthday cards to Kerry (or the appropriate surrogate, if they won't let us get that close to Kerry) at this event?

[TayTay]

27. Rox, I'm in.

I will be in Boston at the Park Plaza on the 11th. It's you, me and Whome. If anyone else wants to go, let us know.

We need to all find each other. If I get a name tag, I'm not going to put DU on it, I think I'll put JW for 'John's Women' on it. (Well, the guys on this forum, except for Ray, don't speak up. I kind of think of us as John's Women.)

This should be a lot of fun. I have two digital cameras. I'll bring them both for maximum picture taking.

[FreedomAngel82]

20. If you still have it around

you should wear your Kerry/Edwards shirt!

[jillan]

23. Wear something sexy!

Something to get you noticed;-)

[FreedomAngel82]

19. Oh how neat that would be!

I would love to go to that! If only I lived in Boston!

[sandnsea]

21. I can contribute $25

To help somebody buy a ticket, who has Paypal?

[jillan]

24. I'm going to say what Island Blue already said...

Those of you that are in the Boston area have to go, for all of us that are too far away. Pleeze!

[Island Blue]

25. As * would say "It's yer doodie."

This is the one and only time I'll agree with Dim Son. Do it for us.

[TayTay]

28. Oh, a humanitarian mission

Well then, I will make the sacrifice, bite the bullet and ahm, ante up in that case. For duty and humanity. (Any 3 Stooges fans here?)

Full report from 3 different angles upon our return, I promise.

[jillan]

30. And if you go

You have to give him a birthday kiss.
Spankings?

Actually, I think it would be awesome if you would deliver the birthday cards.

[_dynamicdems]

29. I'm just over the border and I'm so jealous!

Why, oh why, did I move to NH? I'd probably sell my soul to the devil to go to something like this. Nah, forget that. * can't have my soul.

Funny thing about living in NH. JK is here all the time but we never know about it until after the fact.

[rox63]

36. You can still go if you live in NH

I don't think there's any restriction based on where you live. I think they only sent the invite to Massholes because they didn't figure there'd be a lot of interest outside of MA. Plus, they can only fit so many people into the Park Plaza. But if you pay for a ticket, you are fully entitled to attend.

[TayTay]

37. Dear Lord yes

How can we have the funnest table ever assembled at a birthday party if more Du-JK folks don't come.

Please come. I swear, there is fun to be had. (Oh, and you get to see JK.)

[_dynamicdems]

42. It would be incredible.

I'd love to see JK! It would be incredible to be in a room full of Kerry supporters.

[_dynamicdems]

41. Don't you need to be invited?

I didn't get an e-mail about this, and the link was in the e-mails. Can I just sign up without an invite?

[MH1]

82. I signed up, but emailed too.

I just emailed the point of contact (Jon P.) and asked if there was any problem with some of us coming that didn't receive invitations directly. My email:

Jon,

A friend received an invitation to this event in Boston on Dec. 11 - a birthday party for John Kerry and fundraiser for his PAC, Keeping America's Promise. We were hoping to go together to the event, along with a few other friends - some who received invitations and some who did not. For those of us from outside Massachusetts who didn't receive the invitation directly (3 to 5 people, I think), I just wanted to verify that it's okay for us to attend. Some of us (including me) have already signed up at the RSVP link and made the donation - if there is a problem with our attending, please let me know, so we don't make unnecessary travel plans. I am sure I speak for the others when I say we were happy to donate regardless, but we sure hope we'll get to go to the party too! I know that space will be limited - Senator Kerry has many fans! - so I just wanted to check with you that we'll be able to get in the door.

Thanks for your consideration, and thanks for your work in coordinating this event - I am sure it will be wonderful!

(MH)
(my town), PA

p.s. - if you've already received one or two similar requests, it may be from the same group. We're a virtual community from the Democratic Underground online forum, and we're not especially organized (yet!) - I was unclear whether anyone else had already clarified this question.

I hope I did that right, and that we get the answer we want to hear!

[MH1]

83. Okay, we're good! (we're in!)

From Jon:

"You are all set if you have rsvp and payed alreay. We just didn't send the invite to everybody but its not exclusive to only mass residents."

Yippee!!

:party: :party: :bounce: :bounce: :party: :party:

[Vektor]

31. Will JK be PRESENT?!? Who wants to put me up?

Because I can probably arrange to go out there for such an event.

[TayTay]

35. Hey Vek, how's school going

To the best of my knowledge Mr. Kerry will indeed go to his birthday party. (Which is nice. I am getting older, so some of my birthdays involve deep reflection on getting older and the fact that you can't get good replacement parts after 30. Sigh!) He will be there as will the Missus. Time to Party!

I live far from Boston up in the stix. But, should you need a place to rest your head, I will give you my daughter's room. She is away at school. That would be extra special nice.

[Vektor]

38. That sounds awesome.

I would crap my pants if I could attend. I might actually do it. I need to talk with my teachers about when my nursing final is for the semester, (it's still TBA) and see about arranging the trip. It's right around my birthday too, so we could totally rock out.

[WildEyedLiberal]

32. I WANNA GO!

:cry:

Please?

[Vektor]

33. I am actually thinking about it.

I might make the trek!

[WildEyedLiberal]

34. It's finals week for me

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it.

[TayTay]

39. WEL, you will be there in spirit

I am thinking of asking for a picture and placing it at the table. You will be our honorary guest who is here (just not physcially.)

If I win the lottery, everyone goes. Other than that, I will take names and pics and bring them with me. That way you can say a part of you sepnt JK's birthday with him in Boston.

[Vektor]

40. I have a certain part that would like to spend a little time

with JK!

:evilgrin:

[TayTay]

43. Oh Vek, if you can make this..... OMG!

Just OMG! The mind boggles. It would be.... well I'm speechless.

Woman, you simply would HAVE to compose a Birthday Haiku. We will find a way to give it to JK.

The mind boggles. IT simply must happen. It would be a not to be missed event. Hopefully I would retain enough of myself to even write about it here later on.

Oh. My. God. Vektor and the Senator in the same room. OMG! And he's accessible. Very accessible.

[Island Blue]

44. I'm jealous of all of you guys.

I'm jealous of everyone who got to touch him today. I'm jealous of anyone who's ever heard him speak in public. I'm jealous of everyone going to his birthday party. Not really green with envy mind you, but definitely jealous.

[TayTay]

45. Well, we have 3 folks confirmed to go

Whome, me and Rox. I hope we get more, cuz the more the merrier. I have had both the honor and pleasure of meeting people from this here forum live and in the flesh before and we all just got along. Immediately. It was like starting a conversation up with a life long friend. No awkwardness, no long pauses, just talking, laughing and enjoying each other's company.

That was great. To have that at an event that Sen. Kerry attends, well, OMG! My life is complete.

I swear I will post everything I remember, especially the naughty bits. I swear. I have a cell phone, so I think I will even call WEL at one point in the evening so she can listen in. (It's a WEL -VEktor thing that goes waaaaaay back in this group.)

[Island Blue]

46. I wish the group could have a meet-up sometime

where a lot of us could get together. I know logistically that would probably be impossible, but it would be fun. When you think about it, we all do spend a lot of time talking to one another.

I'm really glad that y'all will get to go to this event (while still being jealous) and will look forward to hearing all the good stuff!

[europegirl4jfk]

47. Believe me, I would come all the way over the Atlantic

to meet you guys and to see Kerry if I had the money right now for such a trip. But my daughter's new school is expensive and that's definitely a priority right now. *sigh* I hope there will be other occasions and as I plan a trip to the US East Coast for next year... we will see...

[TayTay]

48. NExt year? On the East coast?

When Uncle Ted is up for re-election? And when Uncle Ted so nicely and completely endorsed Mr. Kerry in '08. (Should he choose to run, wink, wink, nod, nod.)

My dear, come to MA in early fall. The streets will be thick with pols, including one tall an very distinguished poll with silvery hair, stumping for local Dems. (They want the Gov's office back, real bad.) There is an excellent chance that you will see Sen. Kerry. I will keep you posted as I get more info from the MA Dem Party.

[europegirl4jfk]

49. That would be great!

You could give me a lesson in American and especially Massachusetts politics. Well, I know that as a non-US-citizen I can't actively participate in any campaign but I guess international observers should be welcome. ;-)

[Vektor]

52. Hi there!

I was just wondering how you were doing. How's France?

:hi:

[europegirl4jfk]

58. Hi Vektor!

France is fine! We had a couple of rainy days but now we have nice warm fall weather. A friend of mine who came on vacation from Germany even went swimming in the Mediterranean Sea last week.

I'm looking forward to seeing you here next year! And maybe next fall on the East coast as well? That would be great!

Have a nice time with the Kerry group girls and JK himself in Boston! And please give the senator a hug from Julie and me.

[Vektor]

60. Well, you know me!

I'd be happy to hug him for you - and then some! France sounds great right now. Northern CA is cold and rainy at this time.

I'd rather be swimming in the Mediterranean!

Tell Julie hi for Steve and me, and we'd love to see France in May or so.

[WildEyedLiberal]

50. Ooooo it's a Sunday

Oh God, I wonder how much fare to Boston is...... for a weekend trip...... *SO TEMPTING!*

EDIT:

If I find out I can get a flight back to Illinois in time for my finals on Monday, would any Kerrycrays be willing to put me up for the night? Ideally, I'd like to fly in on Saturday, see Boston, go to the event Sunday, then go back. I have the money for airfare I think but not really a hotel. I'd SOOOOO love to do this.

[Vektor]

51. OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO GO!!!!!!!!!

All of us - together - WITH JOHN KERRY.

[rox63]

54. I've got a spare room

with a futon, and you could stay there. As long as you're not allergic to cats. (I've got 2)

I'm quite a distance from Boston (about 30 miles north), just a few miles from TayTay.

PM me if you want to set something up.

[TayTay]

56. Oh, I forgot

Check Southwest Air. They fly into Boston from Chicago, but they fly cheaply into Manchester NH. That's only a few miles from me and Rox. That is doable, if the air fare is cheap enough.

(Manchester NH is only 50 miles from Boston. It's a smallish airport, but extremely easy to get around. Southwest uses it as a hub for all of NE.)

Cursory look (before deeply looking)
Air Fare CHI to Man, NH $178
Air Fare CHI to BOS $218.

PM and let me know if you leave from CHI or from another local airport. We will deeply look.

[rox63]

59. Manchester airport is so-o-o-o much easier to get around

And you don't have to hand over an arm and a leg to park. Boston's Logan airport is hell. But a lot more flights go in and out of Boston. So whatever works best for you.

[TayTay]

57. I can't believe this is coming together like this.

I wish FIRE could go, I wish all people here could go. However folks, I also know this is Christmas time and finals time and paying for home heating oil time and such. Don't kill yourselves for this. There will be more opportunities and there should even be regional opportunities for a get together next year. (Election year.)

That said, WOW! (Oh FIRE, big, big shout-out to you sweetie. I was thinking of you. Do you like cold ole Boston in Dec.?)

[MH1]

70. Regional opportunities next year...

I sure hope so! But I wanna go to this one! :cry: :cry:

How crazy am I. I just checked Acela fares. Saturday price not bad, return trip on Monday is a bit of an ouch. Gotta find the frequent rider number and see if I have any unexpired points from my travelin' days. Hmmmm....developing....

[Vektor]

53. It's official! I'M IN!!!!

I just reserved two spots. Cheap tickets of course - but hey, I'm a struggling nursing student, dammit.

I will be MOROSE if I don't even get a picture with JK.

I'LL DIE.

[TayTay]

55. Welcome aboard

As it gets closer, let me know what you need.

This is going to completely and totally rock. I will now go into training so that I can survive this event for the ages.

OMG!

[jillan]

61. I was just thinking - I have dresses that I can let some of you borrow if

you want. Having 2 teenage daughters - I have nice dresses that were worn to homecoming. Worn once, and hanging in the closet.

2 are a size 10 - clingy on top, fuller around the hips. Above the knee length. Actually one is really short if you want to show off some leg. strapless.

Also have a size 16. Black, simple, t-length, v-neck with simple rhinestones around the neck.

Also have a long, clingy black dress with slits up the side. Size Small - several pounds ago.

pm me if any of you want more infor on them. I can maybe figure out how to post pics if anyone wants to see.

If I can't go - maybe one of my dresses can - lol.

[Island Blue]

63. What is the "dress code" for an event like this?

Not that there proabably actually is one, but what would one wear to an event like this?

[TayTay]

67. Relatively casual.

Suit coat and tie. Nice dress. Or in my case. nice jacket, shirt and pants. I hate wearing a skirt in Boston in Dec cuz my legs get freakin' cold. And I will wear decent boots. Decent looking, not my LL Bean warm ugly thingies that I really love. (Okay, I might wear them over, but that's what coat check rooms are for. I am not a dress-up person, can you tell, but I will do an upgrade to TayTay 2.0 for this.)

The Park Plaza is kind of nice and in a great location. It has a bar, M.J. O'Connors Irish Pub, hmmm, very nice. It'll do. The cheapest room rate for a Sunday over night is $169.00 but that's with two big double beds and a cot is only $10 bucks more. (That ain't bad.) Here's the addy for it: http://specialoffers.starwoodhotels.com/BostonParkPlaza/SO.aqf?language=en_US&EM=PP_LHN_SOP_GX_97507&

They have nice pics.

[New Earth]

62. do my eyes decieve me?

is it really $100 per person :(

and can people who aren't from Boston go? that would be a nice birthday present for myself, being mine is the day after his.

i'd like the chance to cry on his shoulder. :cry:

[whometense]

64. Hi Faye.

It is (minimum) $100 per person - but we're all going for the cheap seats. I filched my daughter's invitation - she wasn't going and I didn't get one, myself.

If you want to pm me or TayTay we can send you the link and all the rest of the original email.

[New Earth]

65. i wonder how long we have to buy them

i can't buy nuffin till i get back from England on Nov 27th.

think they will sell out?

[TayTay]

66. Someone called them and they are taking donations at the door

so it sounds like the 27th of Nov is fine.

This would be great. Wow! We are going to sell out a table. This is just amazing. I don't know about the rest of the people at this event, but I kow a bunch of women who are going to have a wicked, wicked awesome good time.

[whometense]

68. I honestly have no idea.

I assume that there's a limited amount of space, but have no idea how much, or how many people they'll be able to pack in. Maybe TayTay has a better idea. I've never gone to anything like this, really. The closest thing would be the thank you party JK had for campaign volunteers after the election - but that was free.

[TayTay]

69. Well, the web site for the hotel

said their biggest ballroom holds 2,000, but I don't think it'll ge tthat full (You never know.) Maybe 1,000. They took my money, so I assume they still have space. (I replied yesterday or so. I had a visaul acknowledgement, but nothing yet in e-mail.)

[globalvillage]

71. So, if people from PA decided to visit

there would probably be room for us?
;-)

[TayTay]

72. You would honor me with your presence.

Honey, for you, I would rent a roll out cot. I have a spare bedroom and two comfy couches. I can find a way to get more.

This is going to be great! The more the merrier. All these funny, intelligent, randy and wise-ass women in one room. With Sen. Kerry. At his Birthday Party. In a hotel with a decent bar.

OMG!

[WildEyedLiberal]

73. And WEL will finally be 21

LOOK OUT WORLD!

BTW, it looks like I'm gonna get to go! I don't have a final until 7pm on Monday night, and this Monday I'm going to ask if it would be possible for me to take the conflict exam instead. So Monday night I will give you a definite answer, although I'd say it's about 90% yes right now.

[globalvillage]

76. MH1 and I are trying to make arrangements to go.

Not certain yet, but it's looking like we can both attend.

BTW, I met MH1 when I was in Philly this week, so now it's your turn to be jealous.

This is going to be great. Keep your fingers crossed, we're adding up our air miles and hotel points.

Hope to see you all soon.

:party: :party: :bounce: :bounce: :party: :party:

[MH1]

80. Okay I ordered a ticket!

I hope they don't see the address and ignore me.

I think I'll email the POC just to be sure.

75. OKAY....... I donated

I need to buy plane tickets but... will I get an email confirming my donation? Or will my name just be added to some list? I don't have a printer so I can't print the record. I saved the webpage... I don't want to buy the tickets until I am sure that they actually recorded my donation... I'd hate to go all that way and not be able to get in. :scared:

77. I donated

a few days ago, but haven't received anything yet except for the confirmation page. I imagine they will send out something at soem point. You could email the contact guy [e-mail] and explain the circumstances. He should be able to help you out.

78. Okay, I'm in!

Or, at the very least, I've made a nice donation to KAP!

I PM'd Tay Tay earlier in the week to ask her a few questions, but now that it looks like this is actually happening, I'm wondering if anyone might have a spare couch or room on the floor for me to crash? The idea about the room at the hotel on the night of the event sounds great, and if there is enough space for me, I'll be more than happy to contribute to that.

This is so exciting! :bounce:

79. I have a spare room with a futon

And no one has gotten back to me yet about needing a place to stay. So it's still available, if someone needs a place to crash for this event. I'm about 30 miles north of Boston, a just few miles from the town TayTay lives in. So maybe a bunch of us could carpool into town together.

The only caveat is that you can't be allergic to cats, since I have two of them.

PM me if you are interested.

84. I cant take this - when do we have to rsvp by?

I decided that I deserve a little get away.
Have to look at schedule at work.
Figure out a few things.

I just want to shake the man's hand.
And meet all of you too.
