PatrickCon Pictures, Part 2. (Finally!!)

[Brisully]

<p>Well, better late than never, I always say. When we last left off, our group
had said our goodbyes at Buca de Beppo, and was looking forward to the official
PatrickCON! </p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/113-1381_img.jpg"></p>
<p>I was a little late in arriving, and caught KimRaye and her DD Kelli after
Dopeygirl had scared Kelli. Barb is in the background, and you know if I took
the picture of Barb, her eyes are closed!</p>

<p>Here's Towncrier sampling the spread that Patrick IL and DW Ellen provided.
</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/113-1385_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Here we see PrincessMomof2 (Gael), KimRaye (Kim), and Dopeygirl (Tricia) admiring
Gael's baby Abigail, with Helen(Is it Figment or I?? I can never remember
) looking on in the background.</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/113-1386_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Here we see l to r, NancyIL, TC, MNBrowns, Dan Murphy, Glo, and SSB. A bunch
of great DISers!!!</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/113-1387_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Here are all of the Webmasters and Mods who attended, l to r: Cleo, Patrick
IL, CarolAnnK, Nativetxn, Trekker, BethC, Dopeygirl, ChrisC, Glo (And whoever
she is talking to), MarlaH, and CC. </p>

<p>Looking around a saw 2 huge feet peeking out from behind the bushes. Getting
a closer look, it was...SSB!! No doubt checking to make sure his health insurance
was paid and in good standing, for SSB would be attending the MLB All Star Game
later in the week.</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/113-1392_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Here we have one of the 200 or so "Official PatrickCon Group Shots".
With all of the digital cameras there, this process took about 5 minutes to
complete!</p>

<p>A couple of our gracious hosts, Patrick IL and DW Ellen. They opened their
home to a bunch of strangers, and we had one heck of a party. Thanks guys. It
will be hard to top next year!!!!</p>

<p>A True Gathering of Friends!!!!</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/113-1400_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Here we see the infamous LaZBoy incident, with the two Masters of Mischief,
Dopeygirl and Glo, front & center.</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1401_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Patrick's initial reaction......</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1403_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Then comes this....</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1402_img.jpg"></p>
<p>And finally this!! I think Glo really got to him. Not like the "turn style",
but just as good.</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1404_img.jpg"></p>
<p>But Patrick finally sees that they are only kidding, and joins in on the fun.
Good times.</p>

<p>Here's Ron, sitting in the LaZBoy.</p>

<p>I have no idea how these got into my camera. Anyone want to take responsibility????</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1423_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Here's what TC's son thinks of his dad's "Internet friends"...</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1425_img.jpg"></p>
<p>As the night wears down, many DISers say goodbye and start to make their way
home.</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1428_img.jpg"></p>
<p>All that's left are a few empty tables...</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1429_img.jpg"></p>
<p>The projection system for the great presentation BarryHom made...</p>

<p>And tired DISers and families packing up and going home.</p>
<p><img src="http://worldzone.net/internet/brisully1//PatrickCON/114-1436_img.jpg"></p>
<p>Well the red flag is up, our time has expired, and I eventually made my way
home too. This was by far, the best DIS meet I have ever been to. Thanks again
Patrick and Ellen, and all of the DISers who made their way to the town of Berkeley
on that beautiful July day. </p>
<p>If you have never been to a DIS meet, I hope that these pictures give you the
incentive to go to one. There are many truly fine people here on the DIS, and
I am glad that I am a part of it. </p>

BTW, I think my eyes were almost open in that shot!

 

[jfulcer]

Bri, Bri, Bri.... Now we all know that it's YOU that scare the children. Or do you forget the night time incident witht the comment on 'There haven't been any crying children today'......

And I'm the proud professional photographer that snapped those wonderful feet pictures. Sort of a 'pass the buck' we did with Dan's camera lots of months back at Gurnee. Now I just have to make sure I don't leave my camera unattended with you around.

 

[Snowwark]
