I too add my thanks to all involved in Forum Fest 2. Thanks to everyone who took care of the details and those who took the time to come to the gathering. The time was too short - I didn't get to spend enough time with everyone there. Due to my drive home (about 3 hrs) I opted not to stay for the "after party".
Some folks just made a quick visitation to the Fest, like Misty Blue. All I saw was a blur of a red shirt - he had come and gone before I knew it. I thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie. Not everyone fits my mind's image of them based on their screen names and posts. Sunset Bob and PaulS for examples.
It was such a pleasure and honor to meet our Webmaster after all these years and Bizer (and the patient Bizer family) too. I'd run through the list but it includes everyone I met - it was great to see you all (some again and some for the first time). Almost didn't recognize Pepper without her apron on
.
We may have to start a new thread though. Something like, "How to force flash while taking pictures at the lake". Maybe you had to be there to enjoy the humor but I heard more talk about digital cameras and trying to force the "fill flash" to work than I did about boat speed limits. It was a wonderful event and a super weather day.
Island Girl is gathering a permission list for posting other Forum Fest pictures.
I can't seem to send her Forum e-mail (full mailbox or something?) I would like to get a copy of that list from her before I post more close-up pictures. Island Girl, are you willing to be the central point of contact on this issue? You can include my picture if you wish. I have permission from many who attended FF1 and would guess that their opinions have not changed regarding FF2 pix - but there were many new faces this year...
