I posted this on another board after I was told there were some unhappy campers that came to the meet out there, and I thought I'd share here as well.
Allow me to introduce myself My name is Ed I'm one of the hosts of the Contemporary pin meet sorry to say I don't post much on this board due to a time restrictions.
As to the pin meet at the Contemporary we have helped Kathryn build it up from a few people to few hundred, but we had lots of help let me name them now so you know whom to look for.
Kathryn pin ambassador to the kingdom, keeper of the pins, loyal ruler of the 4th floor, known only to a few as that there lady with the pin vest on, and a true friend.
Malcolm my son-in-law started pin collecting back in the early 1800's got me hooked and ended my normal life, as I knew it. (He'll get his he married my daughter nuf said)
Lauri my daughter, my pride and joy, also hooked on pins married Malcolm why? for his pins of course.
Crystal first born granddaughter, and my favorite a stunning blond, and actress she will be president someday count on it, takes after me.
Heather second born granddaughter, and my favorite a stunning brunette, and actress she will win the gold in the 2006 winter sports, takes after me.
Brooke third born granddaughter, and my favorite a stunning mini blonde, and just a cute kid, right now she wants to be a pokeymon, takes after her grandmother.
Donna the wife, love of my life will never leave my side why? I have all the pins that's why.
And me Ed techno weenie imagineer, inventor of that little thing that held your 45 records in place as well as that blued handled widget that's sits in kitchen drawer that serves no purpose what so ever.
The reason I'm saying this is because of what two people wrote on another board, it seems they did not have a good time at the meet. Kids I'm so sorry, you see my job is PR no not Puerto Rican, its just to make sure people have a good time, I like pins they're okay, but I love the talking to and meeting people the most, as does my family.
Kathryn is the hostess and is so busy at time she forgets her, pins, cell phone, why she even came out of the bathroom once without (well lets just not go there)
To the two of you and anybody that did not have a good time, my sincerest apologies, and a personal invitation to come back and be my guest I will introduce you to everybody, and stay by your side help you trade, get you a front seat ride on the monorail any thing you'll little ole heart desires, I have been known to do just about anything to make a fellow pin trader smile (no Figgy not that you just hush now, only legal stuff) I have gone on rides with them, taken them to places in the park they would never have gone, or seen, picked them up at resorts and driven to the meet, even helped them when they left and got way lost, I'm just a cell phone call away.
This Saturday I'll probably be the only male on Disney property wearing a blond wig, a tiara, and a blue boa, along with over 25 other women known as the boa brigade and Raul (hey it was a double dare I couldn't say no now could I) It will be a hoot, and I'll post pictures on Sunday after I reassure my manly manhood by going to a tractor pull with the boys. (What do think wear the tiara to the pull or no)
My hope is to never let anybody feel not welcomed at the meet, if you two will take me up on my offer, I'll see to it you have a pleasant experience at the pin meet.
Now how do you find all these neat people I mentioned, My wife is always by my side, a true companion always wants to stand next to my pin bag hmmmm.
My Kid and grandkids are in the back on the floor, they like it back there its quiet and they can hear themselves think. (It does get loud in there sometimes)
Me I'm there just ask for Ed, or as they call me Raul (long story) most likely I'll have a grandkid attached to me, but they come off with water.
So as I say on the other boards come to the Contemporary you'll be glad you did it's the gosh dandiest place on the planet to trade (A shameless plug)
