Tell ya what...we're doing a Brokie Brunch in NYC
YaadPyar:
I am posting this here since it seems the most approprite thread in which to do so. I just wanted to fill y'all in on a little get-together in Chicago on Monday. I had the great pleasure of meeting Meryl, who honored me with her company for a brief visit and lunch. We spent far too little time together, but what time there was was an absolute delight.
She is as you would imagine from knowing her on-line: thoughtful, well-considered in what she says, clearly intelligent, warmly funny and caring. She brought with her a bottle of whiskey, which I'm keeping for my BBM friends to share at some point, and three bandanas from the Brokie Brunch in NYC - one for me, one for Courtney and one for Andrew, who I still need to send them to.
It was just a wonderful reminder that the movie was a start - a powerful and compelling start to something big - but the rest is how it plays out in our lives. And to see the friends it has created, as evidenced in this wonderful meeting on Monday, is I think the greatest gift of all.
I'm looking forward to the pictures Meryl, and to the resurrection of our favorite thread. Much love to you, friend...
Meryl:
Celeste, you beat me to it! ;D
When I got back to town, it turned out that a friend was here for an art convention, and I ended up spending most of Tuesday thru today with her, so I didn't get the darn film to the developer. But tomorrow for sure, I promise!
I loved our one-on-one time in the Windy City. It became a bit windier on Monday, what with all our gabbing. ;)
Brokies, Celeste has a really cool apartment, right downtown, which takes up one whole floor and has great views. You can look out on one side and see yourself reflected in the building across the way (it's all mirror glass), which is strange, but oh so cosmopolitan. Her kitty is adorable and loves to sit on her laptop, just like my kitty. And every nice thing she so kindly said about me goes triple for her--she's lovely in every way! 8)
Photos to follow soon, including some of John and Jenny and me at our get-together. :D
Meryl:
Okay, y'all, here is our beautiful Celeste and kitty (Ninya?) looking like they're about to get sozzled on whiskey, and Celeste and me at the restaurant where we ate lunch on Monday in Chicago. ;D
Let's do it again next Monday, Celeste! ;D ;)
And everyone can check out John's thread to see some pics of our get-together with Jenny: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=909.140

Thanks for the bandana Meryl! Wish I could have been there!
Celeste's apartment seems like it should be in a movie. Andrew and I discussed moving into the elevators, but the terrace of fire escape would be good too.

All you sometimes need a silly little song to feel what you're saying--
Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it take it
There's no time to cry
Happy happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
What pictures! Lovely!
