In 2008 Kered and a guy from Portugal picked me up at the airport in Philly. This guy from Europe was going to be our navigator to the hotel, which was in Jersey that year. Of course we got completely lost. We went through one toll booth three times, then would up in dowtown Philly on a Friday at rush hour. I never in my life thought i would to happy to get to New Jersey. Those are the kinds of things that make it fun. 🙂
I have never been involved in much play there for different reasons but for me that's not the main thing anyway. I always manage to have a good time getting lost in Philly with Kered and Pokey, or sightseeing, there is always something going on.
I will never forget my first time, in 2007. I had never been to a gathering, and had only met one TMF member in person. It's a liberating experience, being around so many like minded people. And so many nice people. 🙂
