Was Axel was at that one? I recall photos of him, where his face was redacted.
Perhaps, I seem to recall a picture where it was possible some of us held up a menu or something covering our faces? I have only once or twice avoided meeting a member of the forum's. WOV or VCT will provide never have any significant meet up's again. What you probably don't know is that I took a significant roll in supporting those meet ups. I went out of my way to encourage and invite people who wouldn't normally go, or even know about it. I got people free rooms, comps, gave out some AP information etc. I helped organize event's, helped arrange transportation, picked up people from the airport, dropped people off at the airport, took people to event's during the meet up time, set up dinners etc. No doubt some people were going to go regardless, but no where near the amount of people came when I supported it.

I believe I stopped supporting it mostly because of MDawg.

Now I just deal with private invite only events that dwarf the WOV spring flings.
Everything in this post is true. I imagine he also gave out-of-towners the opportunity to very easily make a quick few hundred, if they wanted it.

Well, I guess I don't know about the private events. Not a chance in hell anyone ever invites my ass to one of those.
You have been invited, more than once it was quite a few years ago so you may not remember. IIRC you were not interested due to the inconvenience, expenses and travel cost during those times as they are generally fairly pricey.

I also believe that you were a little miffed at a few of the other addendees at the time and out of respect for everyone you didn't want there to be any conflicts. Any other lost invitations were probably due to you falling off the mailing list knowing it's probably a no go regardless.
