Do we REALLY have to wait 5 more years for another ICOT celebration??? :(
By then, I will almost be "old." (i.e. 40) ;)

I will have to talk DBF into saving some money to make an extra trip :mickey: That or if it can be done by luck during a trip we were planning on going to anyway (due to work vacation time restraints :( )
If there is going to be another one would it be done in October again?
I will definitely start saving now for that! It's crazy how fast the last five years went, but ICOT20 seems so far away, doesn't it?Quote:

Jenn and I were saying the same thing! But it's soooo much work for John & all the mods to organize something so huge every year.Quote:

Let's DOOOO it! :mickey:
Or certain bars ... named after certain types of food ... with jelly ....
... and rolls... :party:Quote:

First - we don't want to be like the big D and have a celebration every year... :thedolls:
Second, if I had to plan a gathering every year, I'd be in my grave by the time I'm 50. :ill: Not to mention in the poor house ;)
Every Five for a site sponsored event is ideal.
There's always the Meet's forum - any time you are headed there... post and I'll be you are suprised at how many other ICOT folks are there at the same time.

Saturday as a whole about did me in. Margaritas for lunch after a champagne tasting, and that was only the start.... :crazy: :DQuote:

Aaaah, but what a way to go! But seriously...I'm starting to save right now for the next meet! Wherever it may be. I'm totally broke! :spend:Quote:

lol!! I wish we had that option, but seeing as our ability to do these "extra trips" during the school year means doing them sans children, while they generally forgive 4 days away at Disney, much longer than that would be pushing it, even with our very tolerant (and forgiving) Disney kids. ;)Quote:

If I know at least a year in advance I would LOVE a Disneyland meet. If a group decides to get together I am in!Quote:

Did you hear that everyone? NO BUSES!
Of course, it also means no Jellyrolls...but, I mean, there are bars everywhere. And a Beer Truck at DCA.
Did you hear that, Gary? A BEER TRUCK at DCA.
Michael actually calls me at 3 a.m. once a week and just whispers that to me in a sultry voice. "Beeeer truuuuuck. Beeeer."Quote:

I don't think I had more than 4 or 5 hours sleep a night.. I packed two weeks into one.
Anyhoo, I'll need 5 years to rest up before the next one.
Who said Disneyland? I'm in!
I've never been either. Maybe we need to plan an unofficial DL meet.Quote:

I wish I had gone to JellyRolls. Next meet, I won't be bringing any kids.
Sure, Mackenzie is a cute little Ninja but she'll be 15. Taylor, the 20 year old will be able to come.
