    I would love to go to a Fest! Will try to get to Vegas in October, if I can make some bux.

    Have met 4 JWDers in person. They were all gems. Have talked to several on the fone, and I'm just going to make 'first contact' in about 5 minutes via phone with another dear soul. I can't wait to hear the voice!

    JH, if you are ever gonna make it to Newfie Scotia, please let me know, and we can hook up for coffee, maybe w/ Kwin & H2H or Shera. Would love to meetcha. Sorry that I said something not so nice to you once long ago, it was a case of mistaken identity. My bad!

    Tal, did you see the thread about the New England Fest folks are trying to get organized ? The last I read it'll be anywhere from Boston to Maine. maybe you'll get your wish early !

    We still want to go to Las Vegas, I still have some healing to do so I can make some money, too !

    I've had two Apostofests at our home in Dayton, Ohio several years ago, and attended another in Columbus, Ohio. I've been to two large ex-JW gatherings, one in Chicago and the other in Waterloo, Ontario. I've met a few others that used to get together in Greenville, Ohio, and larc and his spouse live in the same area, and we met several times before the Internet. Doctor Bob came into town on business, and we had a great time while eating and drinking beer.

    I might go to an apostofest in July, only if my good friend is there....

    JH, I guess you are talking about the New England one in (hopefully) July. I hope your friend makes it, so you'll be more comfortable.

    If your friend doesn't make it, you can hang around with the wife and I, and I see Zev and Gwen are planning to go also, and they are a very nice and sociable couple. I have a couple of beers now and then, but I never get rowdy, and the wife doesn't drink at all. I met Zev and Gwen, and I'm pretty sure they are moderate drinkers, if they drink at all. I don't remember them drinking when we went out to eat with them a while back. (Really swell people).

    I have never been to a real apostofest.

    I have met 3 ex-j.w.'s, and they are all really friendly people.

    I just went to my first one this past weekend in Dallas and it was great.

    Everyone was very welcoming and interesting, much better in person than just reading lines on a monitor. I would highly recomend attending an apostafest.

    I shall be at my very first one July 23 at my house! If you can't go to one somewhere else...just have it at your place!! But I have met a few of the illustrious posters on this board and I must confess...X-JW's (and those that support them) are very, VERY cool!

    P.S. Though we will be having beverages of the alcoholic variety at this apostafest...I am hoping that everyone will be well behaved...at least to a certain extent!

    Dragonlady,

    I was very glad to have met ya' in Dallas, I wish we had been able to get there earlier and talked to you longer.

    Btw, for a 'Dragonlady' you have a beautiful smile.

    Thanks to Cris & Nina for being such great hosts and great crawfish, too !

    I have been to a few...but the last one scared me............everyone got blasted......

    I don't know about that, but .... I was at the same one and because someone got STUPID ... I doubt I'll go to another. Would also think twice about hosting one ... at least an open invite. Would do a closed invite one so I know who's coming to my home.

    That said, I have met several amazing people as well at Aposto-thingamebobs...and wouldn't replace that experience or acquired friendships for anything.
