    Second the motion.  The Grand_Party was a fabulous experience. 
    Naturally, nobody looks like what I'd pictured from the file...
    
    Food, festivities, a free show, great conversation, what more could you
    ask for?

    	What an amazing weekend.  
    
    	I feel like I've just spent time meeting my extended family,
    	BUT I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT !!!    The party was a Thanksgiving
    	feast with entertainment, and a sea of new faces with familiar
    	names.  
    
    	My thanks goes out to all of the special people who made the
    	trip from many miles away that were so fun to be with and talk
    	with. You know who you are.  NOT to get gushy or anythihing;-), but
    	I'll remember it forever.

    	Great party great people and even better entertainment.  I had a
    good time even if I didn't know anybody when I got there, I sure knew
    a few when I left.  Thanks for making me feel like part of the group.

    Great food, excellent entertainment, seeing old friends, making 
    new ones, getting to meet some of the faceless names, (*you*
    sure don't look like I imagined you!,) hated to leave.
    
    can we do it again this Friday ? ;-)
    
    Dana
    
    PS to anyone I didn't meet, sorry, we _have_ to do it again ;-)

    I'm somewhat new to =womennotes and to most of the people who were
    at the Grand Party on Friday, but there were also some of my special
    friends there as well.  Thanks for a wonderful time.  This was so
    well organized!  And the entertainment was terrific.  Justine, if you
    don't mind my saying so, we should be buying *your* records!

    Ditto.  What a night.  Anytime I can expand my circle of friends it is
    nice, but Friday was magnificent.  Thanks, all of you.
    
    Special congratulations to Jody, you were not only brave but wonderful.
    If I ever tried to move like that I'd end up in traction for months.

        Joyce Lamotte, thank you so much for all that you did in
        organizing and setting this weekend up.  Thanks also to
        everyone else who organized and hosted and set up before
        and cleaned up after.  It was a wonderful weekend.
        
        And thanks to all of you who read and write here and make
        WomanNotes so special.

    Dancing last night at Campus/Man Rey was a blast.  I loved it when
    =maggie said to me, "For a skinny woman, you sure can bop".  Well,
    =maggie was doin' some good bopping, too!

    What a wonderful time!  The Grand Party was, well, GRAND!  So many
    faces that I can now attach to names, wonderful connections with new
    friends, and wonderful reconnections with old ones!
    
    And a special thanks to all of you who came to celebrate the Solstice
    on Saturday - I have *never* seen that many people on my lawn before
    ;-)  Extra special thanks to the Parking Goddess and the Cowrie Goddess
    :-) - your contributions were invaluable!  You all contributed to a
    very special Solstice for me!  (Did the web make it to brunch?)
    
    My SO wanted me to let everyone know that his only regret was that he
    didn't have a least an hour to spend talking one-on-one with everyone
    he met - and I know how he feels!
    
    So when are we doing it again? %-} :-) :-)

What a great time! Thanks to all of the wonderful people who made this happen
both by their organization, and by their presence.

I have some pictures to contribute, who should I send them to? I have "crowd
shots" of everyone watching Jody. I have some "candids" that might be good too,
but I need permission of the people in them to donate them. Carla? D!? Steve?
E? (what's this with the one letter names?) I also have some shots of people
at tables, and some shots of Kai and me.

Just to let people know why Kai and I finked out on the rest of the weekend,
Kai came down with croup, and Friday night at 2am I found myself in Emerson
Hospital with a sick baby. It wasn't serious, but it did put a crimp in my
weekend plans! It also made the 6 hour flight back "interesting" though Kai
was pretty wonderful given that he was sick. So that's why we missed Monadnock,
the solstice, and the brunch.

We had a great time anyway, and I have many (more) fond memories of all of you!
I'm already looking forward to next time. What great people.

    sure, you have permission to do whatever you want with pictures of me,
    provided I get to see them.  :-)  And if they are good, get a copy...

    Charles, I'd like to see the photo(s) first before granting
    permission.
    
    To all, it was a glorious celebratory weekend of sisterhood,
    and I'm working on a poem to attempt to capture some of the
    blazing emotions I feel to be part of this community.

    And I have a few items that were left at my house from either the
    Friday night after hours party or the Sunday FWO.  They are:
    
    A bright blue tank top
    A white hat with pink and black band (is this yours D!?)
    A white bath towel
    A bathing suit (I know who owns it but I won't mention any names, E.)
    ;-)
