If so, I made need to reschedule with the Belle.

I have tossed this around but I don’t think I am welcome

All are welcome to come and visit! Everyone be sure to wear your IDO gear too!!

If I get a rain day Thursday, I’ll be there and buy everyone a beer. If you’re wearing your 8efe hat, I’ll buy you two beers! But, bring your own wallet incase it doesn’t rain!

Is that hat available in the IDO store??

Please be sure reply to this thread or message me if you haven’t done so already so we know how many we’ll have coming!

Doesn’t look like I get to come down in time this evening. Probably getting rained out tomorrow, so I gotta put my time in today.
Have a beer for me and I’ll buy a round next time!
Thanks Sharon for party planning!

Definitely interested in a north metro meetup sometime!

Jeepers Sharon did only 2 of you get the memo about wearing IDO gear??

Suzuki looks like a young buck–IDO should focus on recruiting some younger members.

I see 3 IDO hats and 2 hoodies!
Sharon looks to be sporting a full zipper model hoodie!

POP I didn’t even look at the hats! Blind in 1 eye and can’t see out of the other!

Think I see 4-5 ido hats

I think that’s a compliment but Im not sure..

It was fun last night. Some really good conversation. Thanks everyone.

I only see 3 possible Hamm’s…

Thanks again for setting that up Sharon. Good to see a few people I haven’t seen in a while also.

can we get the screen names of the people in the photo from right to left so we know who we are looking at?

In the photo starting on the left we’ve got Suzuki’s wife, Steve Root’s wife, Steve Root, me, DaveB, Jon Jordan, CBMN, Suzuki, and Ron S.
It was a great time!

Well… fun story! – apparently I had been complaining that I really really needed a full zip IDO hoodie to my good buddy Dan, @pailofperch, and he was able to work some magic after talking with James and surprised me with a custom made hoodie for Christmas a couple years ago! I was speechless!!
I actually have two, one in black and one in gray, and they do say my name on them, lest they be snatched away when I’m not looking!
