Well, I just returned from having dinner with Elaine (Helenabear) and her husband Luis (coqui) here in Ohio. . . :D

I must say they are two of the nicest, most pleasant people I've ever had the pleasure of spending time with. . . :D

They were kind enough to drive up here to Delaware, OH. and meet me at the local Damons bar and grill. . . they were waiting for me when I arrived, and after introducing ourselves we found a table and sat down. . .

It was quite a evening. . . because I was a little nervous, I ordered a glass of White Zinfandel wine. and the waitress actually asked for my ID!!! :o

It's been quite a few years since I'd been carded, and of course I immediately realized it was just a cheap ploy to con a big tip out of me. . . I refused to be played like that, but I have to admit I was kind of flattered, so although I only tipped the normal amount, I did wait until Luis and Elaine left the table and then slid their tip on top of mine. . ;) . . .

We had a very pleasant dinner; talked about the DIS and got to know each other. . . Elaine is a very nice, smart, and attractive person, and we reminiced about my "Dwarf Brawl" and "Corn" threads. . . she also told me about her job and life, but I really wasn't paying attention to that part. . ;)

Luis is a cool guy. . . I was asked not to reveal his full name, but let's just say the team he plays second-base for has had quite a nice little winning streak lately and we might just see him in the playoffs this Fall. . :D

Oh, and I learned Elaine bugged him to start posting on the DIS for months, and now that he has, she yells at him for embarrassing her. . home is where you hang your head buddy!

Anyway, we had a very nice time, right up until George Clooney walked in and took a swing at me over an old grudge involving Janet Reno and I had to mace him, thus starting a huge brawl. . . . :o

But that's a story for another time; we did get the waitress to take a picture of the 3 of us before the cops showed up, and I'm sure as soon as she makes bail, she'll post them. . :D

Sigh.... I missed another wonderful Dis meet. :( Sounds like my kind of evening too!!! ;)
 
You know there isn't much I can add at all to what Willy just said there! He told the story much better than I ever could ;) I did enjoy meeting him and it was a great dinner with great conversation! I am glad that I finally got to be able to meet you Willy!

Oh here's that picture we got before the... err... cops came

Well I am sure sorry I missed all of the excitment - I just might have been able to scape up the bail money
 
Thanks Willy & Elaine for sharing your evening with us! Sounds like fun and, you all look marvelous together! ;)
 
Willie, I am sorry I was not able to come down from Cleveland today. I had my dental implant surgery yesterday afternoon and did not wake up till nearly 2pm from the pain meds. :earseek:

I slept so soundly I didn't realized I was drooling blood all over the bed. Sorry, TMI, I know. :rolleyes:

Anyway, a day of soup and tomorrow I will tackle meatloaf.

Did you have something good to eat like a thick, juicy, chewy steak or some munchy ribs? Can you tell soup is not cutting it tonight? Guess I will try some jello before I go to bed. ;)
 
sounds like a very interesting evening! hehe!

thanks for showing the pic! :D
 
Ouch RNMom!!! :( I hope the pain has eased up by today. . . if I'm still here Saturday I'll try to get together another mini-meet and maybe you can come down for that. . :D

Shannon, to save time, I just had the truck towed back and forth from the Meet. . . ;) . . .

Nice picture! Sounds like a good time! Hope George survives his beating! Thanks for sharing the scoop WJ & the pic Elaine!

Good seeing y'all!
 
Willy and Elaine thanks for sharing with us.
 
Thanks for the "trip report", Willy. Sounds like you three had a great time! It was so nice that you guys could get together. :) Great picture, too.

Willy, if you're ever in the Philly area, I'm sure we can put something together here, too. ;)
 
glad all went okay & you got back home Willy.
gotta love those dis meets..:D
 
:p Will! :p

It sounds like you guys had a really nice time. :D :D I love the picture. :D Thank you for sharing it with us Elaine. :D

Like many others here on the DIS, I have a couple of "change jars" that I've been saving change in for our trips to Disney. I guess I ought to start a special jar for bail money. :earseek: :earseek: ;) :p
 
It was a very nice evening... a lot of laughs to be had :D Even my DH (who half the time has no choice in if he is coming to one or not) said he had a good time :p Oh yeah, for those who don't know I'm in the middle of the pic (like that was hard ;)) and my DH is on my right and WillyJ is on the left... I posted that pic and went straight to bed!

RNMOM, I hope you are feeling better soon... that sounds painful!!

Shep, yep meets are fun... when are you planning one in your part of the world ;)
