Hi there,
I had the pleasure earlier this evening of meeting up with a fellow board member Rick G from California, as he's over visiting London for a few days on holiday. Still it was great to meet up and enjoy good food and conversation and a pint or two!
Yupp we found a nice pub in Notting Hill/Bayswater but no Julia Roberts or Hugh Grant!
Certainly great to meet you in person my friend.
Cheers,
John.B
Hi John, (and Rick!)
Both of you are looking great there, guys! I'm so happy the two of you had a chance to meet and greet and have a few pints together.
In fact, I hope to meet MANY of my fellow hyperboard members (including Rick) in the spring of 2009 after I retire. I plan to drive across the entire US, taking in sights and sounds along the way, and meeting as many of my fellow longhaired guys (and gals) from the MLHH as possible during the journey. Perhaps I will get across the ocean to the UK,(from where my mom hailed from) at some future date, I have a lot of retirement years ahead of me. (I have never been overseas myself)
Cheers,
David
David , if you go to the UK , you MUST come to France !!!
Oh Cool you actually did meet up thats great I know both of you had mentioned it to me on MSN Messenger as Rick enquired where I actually lived in the UK to, I hope you both had a great time to !

Hey Axel! It'd be great to have a "UK Get-together" maybe in London or someplace centrally located. Every now and then, Jerry find these real cheap airfares to London... like $300 or $400 round trip from San Francisco. They're usually in the winter when a lot of people don't what to go there. As I see it, as long as it doesn't snow, that's fine with me. I can handle just about any kind of weather.
Anyway... take care and hope to meet up with you sometime in the near future!

Great photo John and I am so glad that your friend was able to visit. Glad you were able to have this fun and friendship time. I have never been to the UK but sure would like to go.
All the best-

Thanks for the invite for me to join you guys for dinner, --- and believe me, I would have, had it not been for me being across the Bay when you called (too bad damn work always has to get in the way of fun - lol)!!
Anyway, I look forward to meeting you soon, Steve, --- whether it be over at Bill's house, in the Redwoods, or at one of our "balmy" Northern California beaches (cough cough - lol).... And again, welcome welcome WELCOME!!!

Hey Bill, I wish I could have made it a threesome. I definitely want to meet Steve sometime soon.
Absalom
We would have invited you but we knew you wouldn't have wanted to come; our plans included eating in two restaurants and we know you don't eat in restaurants. Steve definitely wants to meet you, of course! Ken was working, so it was just Steve and me (and Larry who took the pics).
Steve lives out here now so there was no urgency in including everybody, like we have when someone comes briefly from out of town. You guys will definitely meet since you both want that! This was real spur-of-the-moment, so we just considered calling people who were close by and for whom we had phone numbers, and that is why we didn't make it a big crowd.
Oh, just because you weren't there, didn't mean we didn't talk about you! [evil grin]
Bill
NO WONDER Scott & I both had burning ears yesterday, --- or at least I should speak for myself... my ears were SMOKIN'!!!!!
I'm becoming a believer in 6 degrees of separation. Thanks, Bill, for making Steve feel welcome. TLH
Hi Bill,
That's a great picture of you both and nice to see Steve looking well and had a safe trip from the east coast. It's good to know he's in good company with the welcome folks from the bay area.
Cheers,
John.
Hi, this reminds me, I'm going to be in the Bay Area in about 10 days--Bill, I sent you a couple of emails a week or two ago but since I did not hear back I'm beginning to think they didn't make it somehow--if so, let me know and I will resend them. Anyone who wants to get together, email me and we can start making a plan.
I got them, and I answered them on April 18 at 10:25 a.m. Dig around in your spam for my answer, and also, I'll sent it to you again right now.
Yes, by all means let's get together! We'll have to have a group gathering while you are here.
Bill
Count me in!

Hi John and Rick you both are looking very good and John your hair is incredibly thick (wish mine was)
I am attending a Metal estival in Germany in August perhaps I can wangle a stop over in the UK for a pint.
take care
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your kind words.
Sure thing if your travel plans do bring to the UK, and it would be great to meet a fellow community member. I'm sure we can stretch it to a few pints and some dinner. We do know how to do hospitality here.
Cheers,
John.B
"... We do know how to do hospitality here."
Most definitely!
--Rick
It was great meeting up with you, John. Jerry and I had a neat time at the pub! We're heading back home this coming Sunday and I'm not really looking forward to the "jet lag" when it kicks in Monday morning!
Also... thanks for taking and posting the pic... turned out nice!
