I just sent Dr Bob my request. After talking to my dental assistant (!) I decided to make the trip to Toronto.
I haven't gone on a trip, other than to the house of one friend 2 hours away, in YEARS. I think this could be a really good way to build on some of the improvement I've made recently.
*PLUS* I'll get to meet some of the awesome Babblers!! Yippee!!

But if you show up using a pseudoname, how will we know it's you?

I'm excited! I love the anticipation part. I'm glad I've had so many months looking forward to the trip. It's given me a lot of happiness. The anticipation might be better than the trip itself!
Now it's finally time...
Even though I'm fairly vocal on the boards, just to let you know, I'm very quiet in real life. I probably won't talk very much about myself. I would probably be more likely to ask questions and just listen. There might be awkward silences if you don't talk a lot.
Even though I'm usually jumping with excitement and love for Dr. Bob on the boards, I'll probably be pretty subdued in real life. I might be very anxious.
Just letting you know what to expect. I'm not scary, I promise. ;-)

I really enjoyed meeting everyone who was new this year and spending more time with Falls and Poet, who had also come last year. And I appreciate Larry bringing butter tarts and Deneb bringing magnets. Thanks, everyone!

Hi Dr. Bob,
Dinner was great. Nice and quiet so we could talk. Presenting was nerve wracking, but I am confident we all made a good impression on the attendees about the importance of online support groups.
I'm sorry we missed you at the Shoe Museum. That would have been fun to tour together.

Several people have asked about this so I thought I would post my question here.
Even if I couldn't go I hope there will be a Babble Party 2007. I hope I can go though. I would go even if it were far away. It'll be an adventure again. Trips are so exciting!
So, where would the next Babble Party be at? I think Dr. Bob definitely needs to be there, wherever we go.

Great question, Deneb. Never too early to think and plan ahead.
The APA meets in San Diego in May...not that it has to coincide. But I'm biased as I'd love to see Dr. Bob do another presentation like the one you so bravely spoke at (or a different one if they won't permit that) with visiting Babblers having the chance to be a part of that (or at a minimum, attend and listen), as we did. And, I love San Diego...it's a great city.

It's too late to propose a presentation for San Diego, but I'd still like to have another party there. Anybody else?
And it's not too early to think about a submission for the 2008 meeting, in Washington, DC. I've started a new thread about that below:

You should go - they are great fun.
Interesting how many people went who don't usually go out.

San Diego would be *really* scary for me. Hmmmm...what am I willing to do to see Dr. Bob again? LOL Go to the ends of the Earth. LOL
Wow, San Diego would involving taking a plane all by myself and arriving in a city I've never been in before. What if I get lost?
I'm really far away from San Diego LOL. Maybe if I go I should visit San Francisco too. I used to live near San Francisco.
I was just checking to see how much such a trip would cost me. Plane tickets cost $555 CAD plus hostel (7 nights for $154 USD) would total about $731 CAD. It's doable. I should probably allow for $500 spending money.
Ooooo, I want to go already! I want to have another adventure. Now is the time for me to travel. I don't have any commitments.
Now, the only question is, will Bob let me hug him a *third* time? LOL It should be an tradition, the annual hug from Deneb. LOL

I'd certainly be interested in meeting in San Diego. Did most people stay for the whole thing last time? I'd like to go ahead and start planning; but, that's just me. I'm a planner and I like to have things to look forward to.
Who else is interested? How long do you think you'd stay? Does your decision depend on whether we'd be able to attend the meeting?

I wish it weren't in the school year. I'll try to start saving up, but I haven't a great deal of hope that I'll be able to save up enough.

For me the best part of the trip is the planning part. Last time most people stayed for 3 days. If I were to go to San Diego I think I would stay for a week because San Diego is far away. What meeting are you talking about? The APA meeting? Last time we were able to see some of the workshops and stuff because we were "presenters". I don't think we would be able to get in without a pass.
Wow, I'm getting excited thinking about this. :-) I'm going to document my whole trip with mini movies and photos. I have the memory to do that now. LOL I guess getting ripped off in NYC was a good thing. LOL
(((((((((((((((((Babblers))))))))))))))))))))))
((((((((((((((((Dr. Bob)))))))))))))))))))I hope I'll be able to talk a little bit more next time. I don't usually talk.
