Just bring along my lawyer, Pamela Mackey, & everything should be fine :lol:

On a more serious note, I will probably be in Boston in August, is there a GTG then?

Nothing planned at this time.

It took about a year just for the few of us to get together.... and we are almost there! 8)

I thought everyone was very well mannered and tasteful when we got up on the table tops to dance. And good dancers too. :D

Pix have been sent to Kip et al. Next year, we need to get Chris and Wera to join us.

Two questions:

Did the chamber maid get home safely?

Did Charlie keep his piece in his holster?

Hope you all had a great time.

A bit late with the report...life got in the way....

We finally got together as you know by now. Six of us tried...5 succeeded in getting to the 1st "Boston Tea Party"

Attended by Kip, Ailurophile, Charlief, foghorn and RustyinRochester. Wagnetic...I hope you found your Zip key!

Thanks to Rusty for reserving that corner table. And to all of you for keeping my glass full.

I think everyone had a good time as we did what you would expect...drank a bit, talked a lot about CW watches, "The Asylum", and some other stuff as well. Finding out the level of involvement that we all have with various forums and the many common interests that we share, as well as the same people that several of us know was really a pleasant surprise.
The internet truly brings many of us together.

It really was terrific to put some faces with the names. Rusty...Let me know when you are in the neighborhood again. It would be a pleasure to meet up with you. To foghorn and Ailurophile...I imagine I will see you guys from time to time.
At Charlief....stay safe at the track and remember that t-shirt for Ailurophile!

Everyone brought a few watches to show off. Ailurophile brought a newly acquired Orient that had a very interesting dial. He also brought the Zodiac Astrographic that he currently has for sale. Very nice piece if anyone is interested. (by the way Geoff, its ready.) Naturally I brought all my CW's so they could see ones they haven't been able to touch before. I also brought along a few of my favorite vintages pieces and some odds and ends including a pocket sundial and my Nomos sundial ring.

I hope we can do this again soon.

Below are a few photos courtesy of Rusty and Ailurophile.
