Chicago Litogether 2009

[AphroditeReborn]

Ditto 'Dite, was a pleasure to meet you.

My sister asked me if I had pictures to share (I usually have a camera in my hand) and I got the deer in the headlights look and had to tell her that since I didn't bring my Nikon with me, I had none. Whew.

Absolutely wonderful to meet you too my dear

Av change coming, as it has been cropped and resized....

Oh so nice I am thinking of changing to one of the ones from the costume party too

I have a raging head cold now, too.....

Did I kiss you?

I'm not sick so apparently I didn't get kissed enough

 

[sophia jane]

Love the av, Bel. I would imagine we'll be seeing some nice costume avs all around in the coming days.

I'm not sick either. And I KNOW I kissed alot of you. Guess it still wasn't enough.

 

[zeb_zebra]

thanks!

I want to express a huge thank you to the organizers of the Lit-together. You did an amazing job! The facilities, the organization, and the promotion was really first class.

I had a fantastic time meeting everyone. It is very nice to have faces and personalities to go with the names, threads, and Avatars. You're a great bunch of people!

I'm readin' the posts seein' if everyone arrived home safely...I guess some folks are still in transit...I'm flyin' out tomorrow morning...so's Jag...we just came back from a steakburger feast and have retired to our respective quarters for the night. It was a distinct pleasure meeting old friends and making a bunch of new ones that I knew only from posts on the AH. Egads, there are a bunch of beautiful women here.

Three cheers for sarahhh, pleaz and all the others who made this event possible.

Hello everyone. I too am flying out this morning after having a wonderful visit with AS2U, which BTW, helped make saying goodbye to all the great people I met a little less painful.

I want to add my thanks to pleaz, sarah and everyone else involved with all that went in to making this happen. And thank you Glynndah for the bookmarks. I'll check back in and try to catch up tonight when I get home.

Hello All,
The get together was great. Sarah & Pleas your efforts are beyond a simple thank you, but that is all I have a this moment so THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!. To all the other Litogeter party citizens, thank you as well, meeting you all and sharing you company was MORE then just enjoyable.

 

[pleaz_me]

Ok, which one of you pervs gave me a cold? Damn it.

I want to know who brought the cold too.

I have a raging head cold now, too.....

We need to compare notes and see who the common denominating factor was in whom we kissed.

That may be a bit difficult on my part though.

 

[AphroditeReborn]

BIG KUDOS

to Pleaz and Sarahh for all their hard work in planning this wonderful event {bigger and better each year and am already counting the days to Chi4 } and Bequ and all the other locals {as well as some non-locals - you Sweet Witch you } that brought all the food - someone needs to remind me next year to eat before I drink please

 

[Belegon]

I'm going to take the time to add my name to the chorus.

HUGE thanks to everyone who spent so much time and effort organizing and who helped with everything from rides to the airport to directions to food.

Pleez and Sarahh are at the head of that list. one for each of you.

Thanks also to those like the Good Little Witch of Lit, who were unable to attend yet still contributed.

I have a sore throat, too. But nothing more ... yet

But otherwise I had a very good time meeting all of you and putting faces to names. So many wonderful people, conversations, massages, drinking, drinking (and did I mention drinking?) and so many hugs and kisses and gropes!!!!

SJ, I will never forget your costume and your "help" with my costume!!!! And all you had to do was ask and I would helped you with yours

 

[Belegon]

I doubt the cold thing is any single influence. We had people interacting from all over the nation. There are bound to be minor strains that had not yet penetrated geographical regions.

It's just like an airplane or kids going back to school. We were all sharing, unintentionally.

I don't think there is a way to avoid it.

I like everyone else want to thank all of you that contributed to the event. Pleez and Sarahh you are both WONDERFUL!!! to you both!

I had a wonderful time, a safe trip home. I arrived shortly after 3 am, delayed a bit due to the rain that I see has hit Chicago now.

 

[Gizzmotick]

You had enough to drink... you became sterilized to the germs...

I love that trick.

 

[bequ23]

I am still amazed at how well the litogether came together.

THANK YOU Pleaz and Sarahh for all your hard work!!!!! You made this a great weekend for lots of people.

And thank you to all the people who helped with set up, clean up and moving stuff!!

And a big thanks to Glynda for the absolutely beautiful book mark!!!!!

I really don' t think that any of this can be said enough.

This year was such a good time, and all the planning and arrangements that went into dealing with the hotel really paid off.

 

[Katyusha]

LMAO!!

I think you may be able to market those...

I just might try!

Or you could tell them all that you got the best massage of your life and feel like a million dollars (then make sure to give my number to all the single women).

Yes I could...I very well may do that too.

Menage? So THAT's why it felt like...

*yawn* Damn, it was hard to get out of bed this morning. I got spoiled by 3 days with no alarm clock.

Same here...and am continuing to get spoiled. I woke up and it was 11:30...this does not bode well for going back to work in two days...

Good morning loves of my life.

A full night's sleep and I feel human. Also no longer drunk and/or hungover. Also no longer embarrassed. But I definitely miss you all terribly.

Glad you're feeling back to normal. And I'm VERY glad you're not embarrassed anymore. I still miss everyone terribly too.

It was SO incredibly wonderful to meet you all. I can't wait until next year! The conversations were fascinating, and you all were a delight. Such a nice change of pace for me, sitting still.

Being back to the grindstone is tough! My plant walks this morning at 5 am almost killed me. Thank god for my iPod.

to you all, and thank you for being so wonderful.

A very, very special thanks to Pleaz_Me and Sarahh for their wonderful planning and executing. I was incredibly impressed.

I was happy to meet you too...you're so much fun. And I must echo everyone else's sentiments, Sarahhh and Pleaz did a wonderful job organizing this. Thanks, guys.

I always love the new friendships that emerge from a Litogether, dread the drama and pine for the next one. There is a cycle to it.

I wish to continue to repeat that cycle.

Me too. I hope to see the both of you again soon.

Av change coming, as it has been cropped and resized....

Ooo! Nice, I like.

Thanks, Bel. From near isolation to intimate contact with 50 people became a bit of a strain. Next year will be better, I think.

to the adorable imp, too.

I was sorry you had to leave early too...but I was very glad to have met you and seen in person those beautiful eyes of yours. *hugs*

I'm not sick either. And I KNOW I kissed alot of you. Guess it still wasn't enough.

I'm also not sick. Yet. I always say yet, but I have a feeling that Gizz working in an airport has strengthened my immune system beyond belief. Still wondering where I got that...whatever it was...last year two weeks after the Litogether though. Especially 'cause I haven't really been sick since (UTI's notwithstanding).

I hope everyone who IS sick recovers quickly. *hugs* to all

Not me...

 

[fieryjen]

I definitely slept till past noon.

Lucky that I don't have to be at work until 4 today. I need to get myself used to a regular schedule again.


*hugs* to all you people that I'm already missing terribly.

*snerk*

It was nothing...

 

[mark197205]

Morning all I am backreading {page 22 right now - lol} I wanted to quote on this one because I can literally hear Mark's voice saying this... I had such a fantastic time and it's so wonderful to put faces and voices to these sexy AVs I've been communicating with for so long

I think I actually did say it...

 

[mark197205]

Av change coming, as it has been cropped and resized....

Way cool AV...

 

[mark197205]

Did I kiss you?

At least once...

 

[mark197205]

You didnt kiss me...*pout*

You and Gizz were incredible, I am very happy to have met you guys. Let me know the next time you're in my neck of the woods!

STOP IT!

*snort*

I was right, the filter came flying right off the moment I stepped off that gawd awful plane. *shudder*

 

[Wings27]

*nods* He did say it, and yes, it does sound better in a British accent.
