Another thread that needs bumping because of the BBQ.  I increased my count by 26, all thanks to the Estes Park BBQ!!!!!

I put that I've met 101-150, but it could be more.

So far, I've attended.....

BBM Backyard BBQ in SanAntonio, Texas last August.  Had about 70-80 people there.

A NYC gathering of about 30 people in Central Park.

A East Coast Slash Bash in December of '06 of about 15.

The Bay City event of about 50 in Feb of this year.

And now Colorado just last weekend, had about 70-80 people again.


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

However many I met at the BBQ last weekend, minus the three people there I had met already. Not sure what the final count is, but I know my intimacy deepened considerably!

Why, yes, Kelda, many thanks indeed for the (somewhat premature) congratulations. After this little reply, I'll be only two posts away from joining that exclusive club! I've been working hard for this moment since April 5th--let me thank my mom, my dad, without whom I wouldn't be here, my 6th-grade English teacher, who taught me so much, and...

 ;D

                     dont forget all the little people behind the scenes, that help you be out in front.. 8)             :laugh:
                                                 congratulations Scott



     Beautiful mind

I just adjusted my vote to the 101-150 category.  But it really depends how you count.  At first I was going to go with a much more modest number, counting people I had only really had at least a short conversation with.  But compared to someone who has never been in the same room with a fellow Brokie at all, I really have met, at least very briefly and superficially, that many.

There were 76 people at the BBQ, I hear.  And while I definitely didn't have depth with even most of them, I think I had at least the barest moment of acknowledgment with all of them.  And at the Castro Adventure, I was milling around with even more Brokies than that, all treating it like a wonderful cocktail party. 

But even by much more stringent standards, I've met me a good many.  A wonderful many.  :)

I met several Brokies at the Castro Bash in SF last year.  Good times!  :)
