It sounds wonderful guys.  I love hearing about get togethers.  Thoughts were with y'all!  X

Oh Dear Ones, I am so happy for you.   I hope each person reports.  Meryl, now we have the Nine Pilgrims of the Cowgirl.  Please add that to our Holy Books.

Not much I can really add at this point, other than to say that I think I never had such a good time, feel I could paw the white out of the moon!

Next time I'm getting a later train back to Philadelphia!

I only live an hour and a half away, yet this was my first trip to Manhattan in over a decade. Who says BBM doesn't change lives?

My grateful thanks to Meryl and Amy for organizing this little rodeo and makin' it really happen, and to Anke and Meryl for the surprise goodies!

Note to self: Remember to explain to Jenny some time what all those bandannas were for at "The Leatherman."

Yeehaw!

No food, shopping, or NYC adventures for me.  Just an hour on the phone and I had a blast!

As Jeff said, not much to add.  I just wanted to say how much I loved chatting with you all, putting voices and personalities with the names and pictures, and getting to be a part of a great Brokie event.  Thanks to Jenny for the generous use of her phone and Pete for setting up the conference call.

I get to post the first picture!

Sounds like you all had a fantastic time!! It's so exciting to think of you all meeting up after months of chatting online.
I've learnt that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in!

It sounds a perfect Brokie day out, you guys! I wish I could have been there to share it with you all, but unfortunately my revision was calling  ::) and the fact that an ocean separates us, but I would have swam all the way there if I got to be with you guys. I can't wait to see pictures and to hear Anke's audio project(that is if she uploads it). I doubt it will ever be this much fun if I ever meet any of you guys and dolls; 1) cause it will be a t-total event for me, damn my age and 2) I am not a very exciting person.
It is looking less and less likely that I will ever meet any of you but there is always D.C 2007! ;)

Love to all :-* :-* :-* :-*

Meryl's friend is both a Brokie and a Lord of the Rings fan, as is Meryl, and those LotR fanatics are much luckier than Brokies (they have action figures!  We should too dang it).
Does that mean that the Frodo dolls were there wearing cowboy hats?  :o  ;D
Just think of the possibilities if we campaigned for action figures!  The accessories!  A pup tent!  Fishing kits that never touch water!  Ennis and Alma's Dreary Apartment set!  Hasbro could make a fortune I tells ya...

I want an Ennis action figure with shirt-tucking action.

Also one that says "Hunnnh" when I push a button on the back.

And a Jack action figure that licks his lips.

Focus missed the boat on that one.
Watch out. That poster has a low startle point.

.....don't forget, the Jack action figure should drop his pants whenever you pull his jacket off!

     Oh and just like Barbie,  They'll have tons of clothing options.  Jacks missing Parka,  different colour hats,   stick on sideburns and pornstache,  black outfit from the Dance scene,  Turkey carving knife,  Ennis's coffee pot and of course, Ennis's right hand forms a fist.   Perfect for fighting or wranging it out!   LOL.
