FLEM 8 on December 5th, 2009 in Tavares FL!

[soforene]

Surely you will all be partying with yo bitches and Ho's !!?

[buffo]

I might be busy NYE... For sure I won't be in Florida.

Earliest date is probably the 8th and 9th of January, but I don't even know if the venue is available that weekend yet.

I'll be in memphis that weekend

Adam, as expressed previously, I'm very sorry about your loss. I'm glad to hear you're back and I hope all went well. It's a very sad situation when someone we dearly love and care about passes away, no matter if it's expected or not.

With regards to FLEM, I would really like to redo the planned event with all its glory. We should wait for Paul to be available, and we should still do the Guitar Hero night too

Just caught up with this thread. So sorry to hear of your loss Adam

Here's a little poem that may give some comfort. Author is regretably unknown.

Jem


Relatives & friends, I am sorry to leave you so suddenly;
this does not mean we have to say “Goodbye,”
for my love for you is truly timeless,
beyond the touch of death.
I leave myself not to the undertaker,
for decoration in his house of the departed,
but to your memory, with all my love.

I leave my thoughts, my laughter, my dreams,
to you whom I have treasured beyond gold and precious gems.
I give to you what no thief can steal, the memories of our times together:
The tender love filled moments, the successes that we have shared,
the hard times that have brought us closer together,
and the roads that we have walked side by side.

I also leave you a solemn promise.
That after I am home in the bosom of God,
I will still be present, whenever and wherever you call on me.
My energy will be drawn to you by the magnet of our love.
Whenever you are in need, call me; I will come to you,
with my arms full of wisdom and light to open up your blocked paths,
to untangle your knots, and be your avenue to god.

And all I take with me as I leave
is your love and the millions of memories of all that we have shared.
So I truly enter my new life as a millionaire.
Fear not, nor grieve at my departure, you whom I have loved so much,
for my roots and yours are forever entwined.

Somehow I missed this thread. Sorry to hear about your grandfather Adam.

My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.

[buffo]

Thanks guys... I really appreciate the support.

Jeremy - I swear I just got something in my eye... A spec of dust or something... Honest! (Nice poem dude.)

As far as the next FLEM goes - looks like mid January through late February is wide open. So start talking about what weekends work for you, and we'll pick a date.

I have gotten my work on call schedule for 2010... I will be on call 01/09 - 01/15 and 02/13 - 02/19.

These dates are good for me.
01/16-17, 23-24, 30-31
02/06-07, 20-21, 27-28

[daedal]

I think I'm okay anytime after Jan... I have a big project due end of Jan, so I'll probably be working weekends...

This will still be a 4-day thing, right?

Hey guys...

It's looking like late February is going to be our best bet. Marie is going to need a lot of support over the next month and a half following her shoulder surgery, so the earliest I could do this would be the first week in February. But that isn't such a good time for a lot of other people, so I think I'll shoot for late February. (Still need to check with the venue on availability too...)

As far as a 4-day event - erm... I don't think I'll have enough vacation for that! But I'm still up for a 2-day event with the Guitar Hero / Rock Band thing one day and lasers the next.
