Welcome, Mala, SolangeK, and Jean! (dcp, you're practically a regular!)

This is going to end up being my favorite thread! Filled with awesome! I love reading the posts from those I already know and love and have hugged and kissed F2F. And yet there is a detail or two I missed somehow, or forgot, because brain like sieve. And the delurkers! I knew you were there and it fills me with joy to see your fonts.

I'm another Laura.

Woooooot! I'm delighted to meet you. I like you already!

Hi! I'm Rayne.

I supported you, although not in email. I can't begin to count the number of scripts I enjoyed thanks to your efforts. Good to see ya.

The coolest kid around town.

Indeed.

New peoples! This is SO FREAKING AWESOME!!

THIS!

I think I'm the only Fred around here.

Maybe not here, but my FIL and his father were Freds and delightful fellows, so we like em. I also have a fish named Fred, but the other 3 fish are Wilma, Barney, and Betty. So rather a theme there.

And speaking of pets, in addition to the 4 fish, we have a lovely 13yo Springer Spaniel named Brandy and a cat named Georgia. Georgia claims we don't feed her enough.

I live in Pittsburgh and I'm a geek.

Welcome, Mala! I only lived in Pgh for a year, but I loved the people so very much. Awesome place. I need to spend more time there.

I'm SolangeK. I've been lurking for so long here, anything other than this delurking thread would have just felt...kinda icky.

Seriously, with an id number of 89 that is a whole lotta lurking. It is great to see you posting.

My name is Jean, just like my user name.

Real name users FTW!

This thread is awesome. It's like a buffista census.

Oh, and I neglected to state that I too, for the record, play a Laura in real life. Solange was my high school French class handle.

Hec, how did your map marker end up southwest of New Iberia, Louisiana? Planning a trip?

Jean, I too have an orange cat named Leo. In his case, it's short for Leonardo diCatrio, but we don't admit it.

I am d, the first letter of my real name. I am a rare poster, but dedicated lurker in the right-hand threads, Bitches, Comedy, Buffy/Angel, Jossverse, Minearverse, Cable Drama, and the seasonal threads.

I first posted during Wonderfalls. I have no idea when I first started reading the board. I came here via BuffyGuide, I believe. I spent many hours trying to find where I had last left off, long before I became a registered user. Oh, how I love the unread messages function!

I live in the greater Philadelphia region. I just bought my first house, where I reside with two cats. I was born in Florida. I have not yet been to a F2F, but I have met three other members of this board. I support them in FaceBook.

I live in Minneapolis with my orange cat, Leo.

Jean, I too have an orange cat named Leo.

Whoo, ginger toms FTW! I have a ginger tom named Marley Marmalade. We just call him Marley.

I need to see is my other ginger Tom will pop in and post...

Hi d!

I also just bought my first house! 3 cats, one elderly diabetic. It's a learning curve...the homeowner bit. Or not so much learning curve as check writing marathon. This year has been different.

I'm in B'more, craxy insane B'more that I love, been here 12 years, on the boards for nearly 10 (REALLY?) Took a bit of a hiatus during WX due to dialup. I only got dsl in the last year or 2. Originally from NM.

I once made an incredibly red tequila lime tart for the first buffista f2f I had, at lisah's house. Don't recall if it was for the finale or what. I think I lost the recipe in the move.

Big science geek, work in the field.
