First few pictures are up. Guest passes in my profile, for any who need them.

I have hugged dcp, Laura, and Brendan goodbye after a nom nom nom fondue dinner. I hugged Nicole too, but I'll see her sooner than the rest.

Laura and dcp have more pictures. I left my phone in the car during dinner, so no pix from me.

A few more pictures posted.

Dinner was at a place downtown called La Fondue. The cook-it-yourself-at-the-table style of dining made for a slow but steadily-paced meal, with lots of time for conversation in between bites. I was dubious at first, but ended up enjoying it a lot.

So sorry I missed you guys. I napped from 1-3 and then worked until 10. What a fun Sunday!

That fondue place looks like fun! And I giggled over the competitive geekery pic, that is such a Buffista thing to do.

It sounds like you all had a great time. Hurray! Wish we could have been there.

Wonderful pictures, dcp. Red Rocks looks absolutely amazing.

Definitely a wonderful and memorable weekend. A very small gathering but it was so nice not to come away from it feeling like I was spread too thin to actually spend time with everyone. I'm not much of a picture-taker so thank you to everyone else for doing a great job of capturing moments in time.

Laura and Brendon should be almost home by now since their flight left almost 4 hours ago. I believe dcp is on his way to or already in Colorado Springs and the F2F is officially over. Sad now.

But - I fully enjoyed every moment of getting to know dcp and Brendon and spending more quality time with Laura and FINALLY meeting Nonian. That last part was way overdue! Now there are future plans for a trip to Florida (Brendon just might get my DH out on a boat!) and a lunch next month with Nonian on the schedule. Life is good.

I'll admit that Suzi and I, at first, were both quite bummed that the attendance was going to be so extremely low but life happens and plans change. With a small group we were able to do things and go places that we wouldn't have been able to do with a large group. And it's possible that this may be the first year that no one caught the dreaded F2F ick. All in all, a very calm way to introduce DH to an "official" Buffista gathering.

Completely understandable, and I personally was very sad that it fell out the way it did this year for us.

Very true! Did he enjoy himself?

I don't think anyone caught the ick in Providence last year.
