Reunited of the Funeratic Members from the Metro Area

This evening me and my mom had a really fun evening. It started off by Scott and Kelly got at LotaWata Creek at 5:15 and My mom and I got there about 15 minutes later. We had a nice time talk with Scott and Kelly when we got at LotaWata Creek.

About for 45 minutes later Russ and Carol showed up and talked to them and few minutes after Erik and his wife Pam showed up. Pam is a very nice person. (Erik is one lucky guy!!!!!) We all got there and we went in and sat down and chatted for a little. It was good to see everyone again that came too GooCon last year. Everyone had a blast to see the members from the site again.

Scott and Kelly did a good job putting this together for everyone to meet at LotaWata Creek. I hope we all get to see each other again if there is another GooCon in St.Louis.

It was a shame that Joanna and Justin couldn't be with everyone tonight. It sure was a great time and it would of been great to have them there to complete the bunch. Tonight was a very good night and hope that Scott can have another GooCon.

It would be exciting to have another GooCon and hope that Scott and Kelly will have another one. And basically that was our night.

Had a great time. Lotawata was a good place to meet, enough room to be comfortable and not too much noise so that you could take part in the conversations. Good people, good food.

No photos, sorry. I thought about asking the waitress to take one, but I recalled from last year that Carol and LaVonne prefer not to have their photos on the site, and Erik once indicated that Pam enjoys her privacy too, so it just seemed like too much bother.

We did talk about future plans for Funeratic, both short-term like the big PP event starting in a few weeks and long-term like other platforms that I want to expand to. We also shared a few site secrets, like the fantasy sports game that I once wanted to build and was persuaded against. I'm always grateful for the feedback from members, but what I especially wanted was some friendly company at the end of a long trip, and I was glad to have it. Thank you all for coming out!

The food! Wow. I'm a big eater used to massive portions, and I couldn't finish my plate. (Granted, I ordered salad on top of the meal, foolishly.) And it was all delicious. To the person who suggested Lotawata Creek in the first place, thank you for the good idea.
