I had a blast yesterday, it was awesome putting a face to all you guys!!!

I have never cut flights so close!  I left Beachwood at 5:20am for the 50 mile drive to the CAK airport where I had a 6:40am flight.

CAK is easy though and I made it to the gate within 5 minutes of parking.  Airtran paged me and had a Business Class boarding pass waiting for me at the podium.  I had the entire 12 seat cabin to myself!

Avid Reader picked me up from LGA and drove me around all day-Thanks!!!

Everything even went surprisingly on time, it was neat to see everyone come into the bar at Clubhouse Cafe as we all tried to guess who they were.  Especially when SF came in :)
There was a nice mix of guys from all backgrounds and ages.  Yes, just guys at this party.

DDF picked up the $200 bar tab, sorry to the guys hoping for the $600 LM tab being picked up instead :D

We crossed over to LM at 4:30 where Chachem Balaileh found the owner who agreed to sit us upstairs.  He was much nicer than many of the employees who were annoyed that we were working around them...

We all formally introduced ourselves at the dinner and we had tons of great conversation.  People shared their own secrets and shtik they've done and good ones were met with thunderous applause.

I raffled off a DansDeals Vacation Concierge Package ($500 value), a tube of the famous Thomy mayo from Switzerland (thanks to yid for that donation!), and a beautiful Starwood Coffee table book.

Everyone in attendance also got a number of "labels" and luggage tags that will allow them to ship their luggage or electronics anywhere in the world for free... :D ;D ;)

The 4 hours seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye.  Before I knew it it was already 7:20pm and I had just 85 minutes to get to LGA and make my flight.  When I did finally get to LGA the security line was absolutely massive but I finally got a friendly agent to push me ahead in the line so that I was just barely able to make it to the gate before it closed.  (My luck, the only time the nighttime LGA-CAK flight was on time is the one time I sure could've used a delay!)

All in all a great time, definitely look forward to doing it again!

We did take some pics, but a few guys had already left (or were in the bathroom?) and are not in the picture.

Here's one that came out OK.

Well you know who I am, and the rest are organized in order of post count...J/K ;)

I'm not sure everyone wants that known so I'm not going to label it but if anyone wants to volunteer who they are they can.

If you meant that I was the one in the black sweater then the answer is no. But dont start guessing one by one until you eventually hit the mark.
 If you think you have a few good guesses, then list them all and us attendees can laugh at our screens at how far off you are without confirming or denying  ;D
If anyone wants to confirm their own identity that is up to them alone.

I'll be happy to confirm my identity to whoever I meet in person...

Side observation: It's really amusing to see how different people appear when they're writing (typing) and how they act in person. All part of the fun of putting a face to a name :D

RE: LM Bill. I had to run out so someone could make his flight... my bill should be about $50 before tax and tip. Whoever paid my bill (if anyone did ;)) please get in touch with me so I can pay up.

I did not mean that you were the one in the black sweater. You were actually in the bathroom at the time the photo was taken... :)
I'll play this game if others join me.
