Thanks to Elizabeth and Bill for organizing the Saturday event, and to all the local members and LongManeDude who participated! The meeting was a lot of fun. It was good to meet the members of the board in person.
I'm still grinning over other people's reactions to our rather long-haired group. It was quite an achievement to cause so many heads to turn in the Haight.
I see RickG hasn't yet put up the photos, but I have to forewarn the board members that some photos are a bit shocking, i.e. the one of the elephant parade (;-)

Okay, I've been checking for photos and I see that it's the usual long wait. I guess someone is waiting for us to beg for photos. So I'm saying please, PLEASE, post the photos! We all want to see them!
In any case, I'm very happy that you had a good time, Ed. I'm interested to see and hear much more about the meet.
Hi Franny!
RickG took most of the photos. I'm certain he'll post them soon.
I'm just adding an element of suspense. It's my way of keeping the board members on the edge of their seats (;-)
The truth is we probably look like a bunch of tourists. Well, longhaired tourists (;-)
Ed
Hi Ed!
Just as I suspected, the evil torture suspense plot is at work once again. ;)
Of course as always, all will be forgiven once we see the photos and hear the tales. :)
I think everyone wants to see these long-haired tourists.
Franny
Lalalala.
I didn't take pictures, and only met up for dinner, so, IT ISN'T MY FAULT! This time.
Mmmhmmm! This time ;)
Really freaky longhaired tourists! :D
Unfortunately this wasn't one of my regularly scheduled SFO weekends. Glad y'all had a great time!
Grin (;-)

Rick and I went on a wild-goose chase at Mavericks's--a famous surf spot not far from SF. The surfers were there, but the surf wasn't. If he has time tonight, he might post a few of the pix, since most of them were taken with his camera.
Oh, just to make this clear--neither of us are surfers. We both recently started taking pictures of surfing, as a hobby.
Great photo, Steve, and thanks! :)
Franny
Sounds like it was fun!! Wish I could have been there. Maybe we can get a north Oregon B-B-Q set up this summer.
Not only was it fun to talk with all of you in person but I loved watching people go by and seeing their faces as they noticed our group. There were some shocked faces but most were in awe and wholehearted approval. I overheard two young women as you and Steve went by discuss how they wished their hair was as long and healthy. :-)
Elizabeth
It was great meeting you and your husband. I was impressed by how many complements you received on your braids. Hair as long as yours is truly rare.
There were some shocked faces but most were in awe and wholehearted approval.
Agreed, we definitely caused shock and awe (;-)
