Wow... talk about getting to know people!! I had a really good time and it was great to start to put faces to names, even if it was just 'user' names. Here are a few of my pics, if you have pics, feel free to post them in this thread. group pic first row front l to r - Behad, HeyP, Batman Jones, Rockets03, DVauthrin, CriscoKidd. second row l to r - ?, ?, smeg, B, ?, aelliot, Mango. third row l to r - R2K, Manny, ?, deanbcurtis, ?, RIET, Puedlfor. back row l to r - hands raised, Drewdog and ? there are a few folk who are obscured (not visible) and forgive me for not remembering everyone... panaramic pic, part of our group is in the right side of the frame most of my pics came out blurry or not very good.
great night had by yall when i get to behads will try to get the pics form pick-up, BBQ and the game on the site.
Look, Crisco is the one smiling and I've got the Mr Mean look. It's supposed to be the other way around. so, Left of Smeggy is RM95. Left of RM95 is his friend from Houston. Left of Aelliott is Aelliott's friend. Right of Manny is Raven Lunatic. The guy on the right with hands raised is Lynus302.
AAAHHHH!!!!!!! ALL OF YOU LOOK LIKE FREAKS!!!!!!!!!!! Hmm, I should stop hanging out with you people on this board.
The only reason you can't see RM95 is because HeyP is taking up more than his share of camera space with his William Dafoe-ish mug. The 3rd row is really R2k, Manny, Castor, Raven Lunatic, and Puedflor. The 4th row is (I cant identify the guy waiving his arms)... Lynus' girfriend, Lynus, Dean B Curtis, me and my fiance. No way in heck you can even identify her unless you're a Where's Waldo champion (she's vertically challenged and in the last row). Somewhere is Fatty Fat b*stard - unless he went to hit on chicks while we were taking the picture.
Ha, guess I wasnt there when yall took the pic. I actually arrived late to my seats cause me and my friend were doing the free picture thing. Then when we got to our seats, somebody was sitting in ours so we sat one section over cause it was empty. My friend and I then moved down to the lower prom at halftime. If yall saw an asian guy with the Gray Yao Jersey with a Jamican looking guy. that was me . Wouldve been a more talkative person to everybody but I am too damn shy and i was late.
I had a great time last night, guys. I wish I had been able to meet everyone. Maybe we can do this again next season. And hopefully then the game will hvae a little more meaning.
Oh I see how it is, wait until Anti is conveniently out of the way to snap a group pic. Bah, who needs you anyway... I was having my pic taken with Bostjan Nachbar! .... So did anyone else snag a pic with a Rocket? I noticed Cat was in a big hurry to get down to the lower section for his, but he can't post in this forum, I think.
think it starts at about 2pm but eating probably won't start till 4pm and should last for ages Smeg on behalf of Behad
Can't make it today, fellas. Wonderful time last night! Great to meet everyone and put faces with names. The two idiots at the very top of the picture with raised hands are ??? on the left and yours truly on the right. My girlfriend (known as Princess on the bbs for awhile) is to my right. Smeg, check your email about flight information. Best of luck to all of you! We've got to do this again sometime....
It was great to get the opportunity to meet all you guys. I'm sorry that I did't get the chance to spend more time with you guys. Funny thing is as I was driving back to my in-laws last night, I realized that most of you guys,with the exception of Trader_Horhey(I still read it as Trader_George), were pretty close to the way I imagined you. My wife and I had a great time and would definitely be interested in doing it again sometimes.
Cat was in chat and mentioned that he did indeed get to take a picture with a Rocket, but unfortunately he drew Tito Maddux.
Wow, what can I say! I will NEVER forget this past weekend! There were so many people that I got to meet and unbelievably, none of them wanted to kick my ass! First off, Jeff and his wife are 2 of the coolest and nicest people that I have ever met. Their hospitality and kindness in letting me stay with them will never be forgotten! I honestly believe that if the world had more people like Jeff and Rebecca, that the world would REALLY be a better place! I will try to mention everyone I met, but if I leave your name out, please don't get upset! Smeg - great guy who has himself a great gal. Hope you have had a great time and I wish you many happy years in matrimony. Rockets2K - a true head-banger; can't wait to see his pics! Trader_Jorge - surprisingly, he was not Hispanic! Even more surprisingly, he wasn't running around yelling "CASE CLOSED, ROOKIE!!" - seriously, TJ was very nice and very funny to talk to; it was too bad that he couldn't make the game. FattyFat b*stard - this guy had me in stitches! An unbelievably funny individual. Sonny - the movie and Simpsons God! heypartner - the "architecht" of it all...you did a yeoman's job in getting this together...thanks for doing it! Behad - I always thought that Behad would kick my ass in person when he saw me, but nothing could be further from the truth. Seriously, Behad is a great guy and it was an honor to get to meet him. Castor27, Dean, The Cat, DVauthrin, Puedlfor, and Raven - my sim league brethren! It was great getting to meet all of you in person. I discovered that I truly do take the OOTP thing more seriously than anyone else. But, what can I say?? It is an addicting game! I just wish that I could have gotten a chance to talk to y'all more just like I could with everyone else. Lynus302 and Princess - it was great getting to talk to the 2 of you! I need to get back to emailing Lynus again about heavy metal music, once I get out of my jazz phase! RIET - man, you are one funny and interesting guy! I enjoyed talking to you and your fiance. Congrats on the engagement - you have yourself a great woman in RIET's girl. B - it was great to finally get to meet the man behind the "B Yahoo Fantasy Basketball League"! I wish I could have gotten to play the pickup game so I could have avenged my last place finish in your league! Rocketman95, RocketsPimp, and Drewdog - it was so awesome (I sound like a damn schoolgirl) to meet the 3 of you! I know that RM95 has had a tough week, but I was so glad that he was able to make it. It was also cool to find someone else who knew who in the hell Delerium was in RocketsPimp's girl. CriscoKidd - my fellow NIN fan! It was great meeting you, keep up the job of keeping me in line on the board! Mango - incredibly, he was not a robot! Very funny guy that I wished I could have gotten to talk to more. rockHEAD, Mr. Oily, Antisonic - it was great getting to know you, y'all made me feel at home in the great city of Houston. Batman Jones, aelliott, Kam, and anyone else that I am leaving out - enjoyed meeting you and will love to do this again some day. Of course, it was even better that the Rockets won! Definitely will have to do this again - maybe when I am through with my MBA program, I can spend a week in Houston. Thanks for a great weekend!
Damn, I knew I forgot someone R0ckets03 was, believe it or not, not this raving madman like I thought he was! He was a very cool guy like everyone else.
Is Batman Jones wearing a 90210 shirt? Have you heard of this thing called e-bay? I bet that shirt would go for alot on e-bay. It was nice meeting everybody, and playing basketball with everybody. The food was great. HeyP was a gracious host. I pass N Main alot. I never figured a cc.netter lived there. I would love to play basketball with you guys on a larger scale with you guys again.
