15 years folks

We had the fifth anniversary party at Cunningham Piano in Germantown and the tenth anniversary party at kluurs' house in Oak Park. Somehow, we haven't seen fit to organize a 15th.

I saved a copy of the last thread I posted in at the old Coffee Room. The date was April 21st, 2005, the night it shut down. What a long strange trip it's been.

Amazing. And so weird to think of you all as my friends even though most of us have never met.

Same here ~~even Doug~~.

I'm totally OK with it staying small. It seemed like there was so much drama and competition early on with the split into multiple fora--who ended up where, who went to both, how many posts, yada yada yada.

I'm glad we are friends.

Sheesh, Nina, I can’t believe you misspelled the word “especially”.

No wonder you crossed it out…

Me, too!

WTF friends are pretty much the only people I let be my FB friends without meeting them in person, first.

OK, let's fix that.

I was in Europe researching GRAND OBSESSION when this all went down. Which means it's also another 15th year anniversary and I can't believe in this much time I haven't been back to see my friends at the Grotrian factory.

What brought us together is a shared history at PW. Not sure who else would have any basis for joining us or why they would care to. Have we advertised on PW or at TNCR?

Me too!! Except now I have a couple of Facebook friends and I can’t actually remember what their forum names are, and I’ve done that with a couple of forums, so I don’t actually know ‘how’ I met them...
