My sweet little rock and roll baby Finn jumped in the van, hoping it was time to go to Boston. I had to break it to him, just I was going I wish you would wait until I get off dial up to post cute things. I'm in the dark over here ...

Haha, thanks guys, he really is like a living, breathing doll, so precious. Hope you don't mind me bragging about my own.
But Mike, the dialup won't even let you watch a 17 second video? ack! You poor thing!

I'm scrolling down and there it is this time for some reason. Yes, Heathcliffe was right. Finn is the poster child for cute. He's grown some too since I last saw him. Raised on Tull. So was I, almost.

I'm sure there will be reviews and photos soon, most of us are just wrecked right now. eta- I will say that this was a fantastic group, we had so much fun that it should've been illegal. These guys are just..I can't even put it into words. I wish we could hang out every day. I'm so sad it's over.

A memorable event that is for sure. I think the meeting you guys and and gal was the highlight of many a years. Although the show was great it pales in the memories I will always have of this meeting up. A toast to all of you...thanks

No doubt Charlie. The shows have become secondary. It's all about spending some quality time with friends. Sharing stories and laughs over a meal and beer are the highlights for me.

Holly complain? Never! ;D And perhaps we should refer to them as "crisps" for Pat's benefit.

Yes, TM you sent me that one. Ugh, someone get rid of that pic of my profile. My hair is so out of control. TM this last photo, can this be cropped so it's a longer picture but the top and bottom cut off so I can use it as a signature picture?
Oh also, I think it was that I got a chocolate cupcake and the frosting was all over my fingers. Then you said, "You've got poop on your fingers!" haha

I think I was yammering about my Ryan or Florian picture as a profile picture, but this idea is better, and thank you! I can't figure out any of my photo software on this thing, It's always such a headache.
ETA:
So Saturday was the big day...for me.
I was quite anxious to get down to Mass and it felt like it was taking forever from NH. I stopped at some festival in my town, then forgot some things at home, then we had to get gas and food in a really busy area of NH that took forever to get out of. Then we had to stop and use the facilities somewhere else. I said, "ok! Enough stops. I have to go Mass!" We finally got to Mass and husband sort of pulled into a parking lot instead of the right road. Now I'm really getting anxious. Then we go past Derek Pith's house. Turned around and went back to the right one. . Derek's wife was really hospitable and kept trying to find things that I'd like. Quizz, TM and nonfatman finally showed up and that's when my family left to go to my home state. The limo driver kept asking, 'Are we ready yet?' but we kept not being ready. My friend Tim who misunderstood and went to Boston first, came back and finally made it. I think five of us piled into the limo and listened to Pat recall tales. We had a champagne toast on the way.
When we got to Boston, we found out our reservation was given away at the restaurant so we went next door to Panera before the show. I think that's when I met a past member here, Flutestobranches. He said he remembered my profile picture here that had Andy but I look different. I said, well that was 2004 and oh I SO changed that picture. Some of the guys seemed to be hanging around but Charlie and I wanted to get moving to the venue, so we started to walk and the other guys started to walk too. Boston was very busy because 4 different shows were all going on. The Wang Theatre was quite beautiful inside and we went to our seats after getting a drink, which means some of us had to separate. What can I say about the show. It was good, quite like last year, but a bit longer as they say Mohegan's show last year was cut a bit short. I laughed quite a few times. Actually, I laughed all night. During intermission I walked towards the restrooms and was shocked to see the huge line of mine going out the door. I went into the women's room and there were about two women in line. One said to me, "Did you see the line to the men's room?" I said, "Yeah, all I could think of was what he just said about the prostate" she said, "I thought the same thing!" Then I realized it was probably the vast difference in men to women ration at the show.
After the show we went back to the Rock Bottom and had a fabulous time. I met a few other people who are not really on the board but on Facebook. Tim played the flute for awhile and a few people I had just met took snapshots of my tattoo. I had some really good southwest egg rolls and most people were having Oktoberfest beer. I knew I had only a few sips out of mine but a half-drank one was in front of me then TM realized he had drank mine. And at another point I didn't know which one was mine and which was someone else's.
I talked to Florian for a minute, he was really nice, then Ryan. Ryan thought I was going to criticize his performance as he said he had made many mistakes that night. I said, no, I wanted to tell him that he looked like my son. He looked at me taken aback, "How OLD is your son?" I told him, well only four, but he looks like what Griffin grow up to look like. I showed him a picture and he said, yes, he did look a little like that as a kid. He said Griffin is his mother's maiden name too. He said his middle name is Connor which he wishes was his first name. I told him how I considered Ryan as a boy name for my children too. Lots of coincidences. I asked him if I was correct in the fact he was born in 82, and he said that he was definitely older than me. And was shocked to hear that no, I am older. Then TM walked up and Ryan asked if that was my husband. I started to say, "No, that's-" and TM said, "Oh yes I am!" Then someone else thought Tim was my dad. Haha, sorry Tim.
I felt like I didn't get to talk to Quizz enough and I kept going over to him but he'd be busy in conversation. At least each person had me almost in tears laughing at some point. I got a lot of "How long have you liked Tull?" and "Where are you from" that night. I was so upset to see the night draw to a close. I was kicking myself that I didn't stay over in Mass and continue with the visiting the next day. I was so sad to have to go and say goodbye to these people. Some I've talked to for 9 years now before meeting them. People that we thought would never be able to make this event, did.
Stay tuned for my little compilation...

Glad to hear eveyone had such a great experience together. Tull fans really are special people. Hopefully the opportunity comes up again and more of us can join you.

Tulltapes, yes we wish you could've come!
We're like family here! Speaking of...So..Some of the guys say they're my big brother now. Except for TM who is my uncle or husband depending if Giddings or Ryan is around. Tim is my dad, Quizz says I am his US cousin...and I told Ryan that when he reminds me of my son, I want to pink his cheeks and say, "You're so cute!" He said, "Well now you sound just like my mum!" ha
Here's something I have been working on, just a compilation of our experience.
I don't claim to be a camera woman...and thanks to others for letting me use your photos as mine weren't the best.
Or when I'm with Dennis and my eyes and nose are red and there are probably snot bubbles.
And yes, Quizz is reading St. Cleve
