I got to meet 2 famous Disers in the last month....

[DopeyRN]

In July I had the chance to meet Ann aka snuggles and her family. What a sweet lady! It was a pleasure getting to meet her, and her family is pretty special too! Her girls are very pretty, met the famous DancerGirl, and Ann's hubby Stephen is a very nice person. They treated me to lunch and it was a wonderful time.

And then there was Willy. Some of you probably read of our "near meet" last week. Well this week it happened. I suggested a seafood restaurant out in the suburbs....I found myself at the same restaurant in the heart of the French Quarter! Now mind you I have never seen the Quarter... Well, OK, maybe I have, but a trip down Bourbon Street with Willy was ....uh...different . It sorta goes bar, strip joint, souvenier shop, bar, strip joint....you get the picture. Well about every third bar, Willy caught a cold...and every cold he caught needed a dose of Nyquil. He carried it in his little backpack thing (I wondered what it was for). And the strip joints...my right shoulder will never be the same for all the times I had to grab his shirt and pull him out kicking and screaming.... And then there was the poor blind guy who reach up and accidently touched the nyquil bottle....I hope his arm heals ok..... Next thing I know I am pulled into a bar with video poker and there we sat for 2 hours. Well that is my story and I am sticking to it.

(Well ok MAYBE the truth is we went to dinner in a very nice seafood restaurant, walked around the quarter some and played video poker for a little while...he won, I lost.. I had a really nice time, been wanting to meet him for a long time. )

Sounds like a wild time! I'm glad you have been able to meet up with so many Diser's.

I've met Ann and I agree, she has gorgeous daughters and a very nice husband

I've never met the infamous WillyJ, though

 

[Patrick IL.]

oh Donna I am jealous, I want to meet Ann and her family and Willy too! They are on my "disers to meet list" Sound like you had a great visit

 

[December99]

Very cool Donna!!!!! Sounds like you've had a great time meeting some awesome DISers!!!!

 

[snuggles]

It was so nice to finally meet you Donna. My family kept talking about how nice you were. Pretty good praise from my group LOL Hope we can meet up again soon.

 

[WillyJ]

Oh, c'mon Donna!!! I can't believe you'd make up such a salacious story!!!

The truth is, we attended mass at the cathedral on Jackson Square, then spent an hour handing out canned goods to homeless Enron executives. . . it was quite spiritual. . .





Seriously, we met at a mall in Metarie, then Donna drove down into the The French Quarter. We ate at one of my favorite local joints there on Toulouse St, Ralph and Kacoo's, and it was wonderful as always. . . Donna had stuffed eggplant, and I had Mahi-Mahi. . .

After dinner we walked around Jackson Square past the tarot card readers and some winos who had painted themselves silver (I think they were supposed to be 'human statues', but they blew the effect by sitting on benches swigging "Colt 45") then up St. Peter's St. to Rue Bourbon. . .

We walked down Bourbon St. . . it was just starting to rock but hadn't got going full-steam yet; not one person even vomited on us!!!

We walked about 10 blocks, and we stpped in a bar and I had one rum and coke and we played video poker for about 15 minutes- I hit a 4 of a kind and won $20- and then we walked back and Donna dropped me at my truck and I made it back for chat. . .

It was a very pleasant evening. . . it was such a pleasure to meet Donna after knowing her from the DIS for so long. . she is a very nice person and I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with her. . .

Sounds like you had a nice time.

I still think you dis'ers are figments of my imagination.

Got any pics from the meets?

 

[TennVolTony]

Why is there ALWAYS strip clubs where Willy is? Or is it..Why is Willy always where there are strip clubs? I can't remember....

 

[DopeyRN]

[WillyJ]

That is a strange phenomenon, isn't it Tony?

I just want to add that I'm looking forward to meeting all of you someday too. .

 

[CRB#33]

Lucky You!

Sounds like wonderful times!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Always neat to meet friends from the DIS. We all seem to get to know each other so well, maybe more so than folks we see in person. I have met Snugs, along with her hubby, Stephen and two girls, Steph and Jenn. A fine family thaey are, so gracious. And what can I say about Willy?? I have met him several times, and he is all we think he is, one nice guy with a big heart!!!

Glad you were able to meet everyone, Donna.

 

[cotye]
