I feel I know many of you frequent forum contributors even though I've never actually laid eyes upon you; along these lines, I'm wondering if maybe we could arrange a Long Course Nationals get-together, perhaps raise a cup of grog so that when we correspond via this forum in the future, we'll actually be able to put a face to the words we are reading (and which I personally have found so helpful about all things swimming).
I signed up for the meet via the online registration process, incredibly easy, by the way; unless something unforeseen occurs between now and August 15th, I plan to be in Cleveland along with some of my teammates from Sewickley, PA (we'll be swimming for Allegheny Mountain Associations Masters). Anyhow, if anyone out there is up for it, perhaps we could decide upon a rendezvous spot poolside, then go out for a beer when the day's events are over.
Hope to meet some of you guys.

So, Matt, is it your ghost who is posting for you? You signed yourself mortatus! :D Sorry, Zoomer, it IS getting boring isn't it? If Cleveland brings in all of this dreck, what will Arizona '03 bring? :rolleyes:

...See yez or y'all there.
So, Doug are you interested in meeting with us, Saturday August 17, lane 4, deep water, at the conclusion of 50 meter free, so that later in the afternoon we can plan the world for a few moments at the 'Great Lakes Brewing Company' pub?
If so, please tell us the events you are swimming so that we can meet before and cheer for you;
I know your age group as 75-79.
If you come, I will update the list in this thread, posted earlier.
Hey Ion et al:
Good Lord . . . the thought of the world being planned at the Great Lakes Brewing Company pub by participants of this thread in a few hours worries me. Yeah! Yeah! I'm what Ricky Ricardo would say, "yellous." :D (That's Ricky Ricardo from the I Love Lucy television show for those who don't know.)
One quick reminder since it's been a few weeks since anyone's written anything on this thread:
Anyone who wants to get together for the POSTERS' PILSENER, SWIMMERS' CERVEZA, or WHAT HAVE YOU, should meet at lane 4, in the deep end of the pool, at the conclusion of the men's 50 meter swim on Saturday.
We'll then make our way to the Brewing Establishment.
Hasta luego!
Hey Gang, how was the turn out for the big beer event? Did most of the worlds (or swimmig worlds) problems get solved! By the way, I just spoke with a young lady who felt a little slighted that your big event was a bit sexist in that it everyone meet during the 400 free?
Sorry we couldn't make it, however Laura & I tossed back a few (with some pizza), debated whether Cynthia was one of Ion, Matt or Phils alias', and generally hammered on each other in recognition of these "first annual" forum get together!
See you in Tempe!
