Puget Sound FReepers Party Report

Libertina & PS FRee Republic Chapter | March 20, 2002 | Libertina

[Libertina]

The Party pictures are in! Washington FReepers from the Pacific Northwest met for a St. Pat's Day party in Lakewood at the Happy Days Diner. We had a great time and found out that the restaurant owner is a conservative as well, so hopefully we recruited a new FReeper. The box of mint GS cookies was awarded to the FReeper who made the longest trip to party. Honors were taken by Connectthedots who drove all the way from Vancouver! (Coincidentally, they are his favorite cookies!)

SWEATER BUMP!
What are those things y'all are wearing with long sleeves
Very funny Houston. Tell you what, you invite us over to your neck of the woods and we'll show you
that the "conservative" red West coast knows how to dress! :)

Our plan: Get rid of liberals :)

Thanks for the Michigan support!

[MadameAxe]

Aaah!

[Libertina]

BUMP We missed you Annie, but two FReepers have offered houses so "next time" should be soon! :)

[Libertina]

My pleasure, your Highness!

[Libertina]

Ping! For St. Pat's partyers, if you have any pictures please post them. I'm missing a couple of faces.
Everyone else, we missed you and hope to see you next time.

Friday Harbor bump (dad lives there)...and a double bump from Cross Roads Whitney...just east of Anacortes Ferry...the Cross Roads named after my family that had a prominent history in the area.

I am in Marin County now...but love PNW...was there 3 weeks ago...flew out to the island on Kenmore...love the area

Excellent party...

Bippity-Bumpity Boo... Bummer I missed it... work-related... maybe next time :0)

Thanks for the bump.

Something is missing in the pictures though. I can't quite put my finger on it. What could it be?

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

A special prayer bump for publius' family. He is back in Philly taking care of his Mom's estate after her passing.

[Libertina]

Thanks Big Ern, you're right. Some important faces were unfortunately missing from our gathering. The past PS Chapter leader, Publius, got the sad news just days before our party that his dear mother had passed away. He flew back east and will be there for a month putting family business in order.

Billthedrill, as I noted at the beginning of this post, was busy with last minute clients flying in from the east coast, and couldn't make it. However, he took the time to secure our room at the Happy Days Diner and put down the "earnest" money on our reservation. Thanks BTD, the only thing better would be that you were with us...(and your brew too! :)

Finally, Big Ern, who had originally been given the day off, needed to give it up for another employee whose mom was sick. And then he had to wrestle a big tree in his yard into submission! Lots of unexpected events take us away from these events, but each FReeper absent was missed. Thanks Big Ern for your hard work planning for this chapter. For your amazing ideas (such as the National Gun Purchase Day) and just being a great guy in general.

BUMP! Hi Veno, I somehow forgot to list you in photo # 2 after Mark M and before Mrs. Robroy. IVV is our "boomer." Thank you IVV, for your brave service to our country!
You

In Veno Veritas, 3rd on the left :)

[Mariner]

Dadnabit!

How is it I didn't get invited, or even know about it so that I could invite myself?? I joined the Chapter over two years ago, perhaps 3.

I suspect record keeping has been ad hoc:)

Anyway, I'm in for the next one.....IF I KNOW ABOUT IT lol

The joint you guys were at is less than 20 mins from home......Puyallup.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Mariner. I will make sure you get invited to the next one.

Have you signed up with the Puget Sound Freepers or are you just on the Washington page?

If the answer is no to the first half of the question then freepmail Libertina withe your name and email (and phone # if you're comfortable with that) so you can get added to the list.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

If you haven't been to a party in the last 1 1/2 yrs or responded to one of the RSVPs you were probably culled from the chapter list.

[SW6906]

BTTT - I gotta make it next time.....

[In veno, veritas]

I am honored to be welcomed in such a patriotic group.
Nice snowstorm we had today in honor of the first day of spring.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Yeah, we've heard that from you before.

We can set our watches by your backing out of the party the day before.
