mike carey Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Noooooo!!! I do not want to be the only ambassador of the Southern Hemisphere! I know! I know the lack of someone to represent Terra Australis del espiritu santo is unfortunate. (The great south land of the holy spirit.) Much of the civilisational pride of the Americas is what happened in the southern hemisphere, both indigenous and settler. Wear it with pride and represent the great South. + José Soplanucas, + ArVaGuy, + azdr0710 and 4 others 7
+ Oliver Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Friends, Romans, countrymen. Wait, that was the wrong intro... I've just written to Oliver to confirm that I will be unable to attend the gathering this year, much as I had hoped to be able to do so and renew acquaintances from last year and indeed from the January forum lunch in DC in 2016. I have already mentioned it to a small number of guys I chat to separately. As so often happens, other issues have come up that compel me to be at home for most of April. I'm sure that the festivities will be just as jubilant and enjoyable in my absence and I wish all of you the best for the weekend. Have one for me. (You can take the 'one' to mean whatever you wish!) Mike Say it ain't so!!

+ sam.fitzpatrick Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Is it too soon to start counting down the hours (rather than days) to landing in Palm Springs?
+ purplekow Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 504 hours give or take depending on your exact arrival day and time. 168 hours a week 3 weeks to go. I think one can officially start counting hours when they get to 500 Since I am landing earlier in the day, despite the 3 hour time difference I am at 498. + Eric Hassan and alexhawk 2

+ Summerson Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 All right, all of you are too much fun, so I'm taking the plunge. I've just booked four nights at the Canyon Club and even if I'm too late with my convo to Oliver to be part of the "formal festivities", I'm looking forward to being part of this weekend in whatever way I can. It all sounds like too good of a time to miss and by mid-April, I'm going to need a few nights away more than you can imagine. It may or may not be the craziest thing I do all year, but at least it's a start. Looking forward to it. + azdr0710, Epigonos, alexhawk and 3 others 6

SuperJunior Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 I somehow overbooked at CC and INNdulge so this evening I'll be releasing the accidental CC deluxe double poolside. 6 pm EST. Hope this helps someone. alexhawk and LoveNDino 2

I have been attending for many years and this has not been the attitude - there has never been a "we and them" vibe. In the past we have all come together in camaraderie, shared a meal, downed a drink or two, engaged in conversation and yes enjoyed each others company, both publicly and privately. + Oliver, + jrhoutex and + Eric Hassan 3
SuperJunior Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 I think he’s being a joker. A million pages ago in thread we decided the winning lodge would be determined by a series of oil wrestling matches. Victor Powers volunteered to rep CC. They’ll be held in my room because I’m so giving. + honcho, + José Soplanucas, + azdr0710 and 3 others 6
