BR The Gathering 2008
« on: July 29, 2007, 02:48:24 PM »
Yes you read it right, 2008.  Last night some of us got to talking about dates for next year. Karen mentioned she has to request her vacation time in December, so we made a decision about next year's gathering.

Location: Creekside Lanes - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Unless something drastic happens, we will hold The Gathering July 24 - 27, 2008.   So mark your calendars and prepare to join the best gathering around!  Don't miss out on all the fun - bowling, eating, bowling, eating, bowling sleeping, bowling, and the pattern continues.  Oh and there is a whole lot of socializing, laughing, and did I mention eating and bowling?

I am sure there will also be a little golf, poker and pool for those so inclined.

I'm in, but I will be in the same situation as this year, I will only be able to be there on Saturday and then only till around 4:30, but I will be there again.

I had a great time at this year's, I got to see several people I have not seen in a long while, and put some faces to some screan names.

One was taken at Saturday Night's dinner.  I believe it will be posted soon.  I brought my camera, but for some reason didn't take it out.  Next year, it will be put to use.

No threats or you won't be invited back.  Next thing you know, people will be threatening to take video and make documentaries.  That's bad for people like me who have bad-hair (and bad-face for that matter...) days every day.

I think a few people were "sleep bowling" this year, which is totally acceptable.  Anyway, what a great group of people.  We're looking forward to being there next year.

No threat, just a promise  Besides nothing will stop me from coming. If not invited, I'll just be a party crasher

Hmmm video the event.  I have a camcorder, great idea I'm not sure if it would be a documentary or more suitable for Americas Funniest Home Videos

Sometimes a better option all around, you don't know what you are doing and if it is really bad, just chalk it up to a nightmare!

I did manage to get a little bit of video taken, but mostly of the wife working with Ron.  I do have a take of Alakazam rolling one, and the great form of Portside.  That guy is a bowler!  I didn't get a crowd shot, and I'm not sure why.  I seem to have missed Toma, Nollster, and Strider this year.  I probably should have had control of the camera on Fri and Sat instead of just Sun.

I have one picture that looks not so bad, several came out blurred.

I will post more later. I am working on trying to put together a small video from Sunday of us all bowling. If I can get it to look half decent I will post it as well.

I can't wait.  I will be living in a bubble for approx. one month prior just to prevent any injurys from occurring and not allowing me to compete at 100 percent.

Sorry I haven't been at the last couple of events.  The main reason I have had to miss out is that:

I live in Wisconsin.

Hope it is a great time for all!  But in all honest, Don't expect me to be there.  


I haven't missed a one! I come from CA
