Wow, it seems you all had a good time. That's awesome. I ended up attending the end of the Oregon Cookout (just enough time to see Big Finale leave). I would have attended sooner, but work had a different agenda for me.
Kudos, guys! You made this year's cookout successful.
The last group of guests just hit the road; since Jonny Axehandle and his dad were going right by, Dark-O, R. Smith and Lilly are on the way home with them.
Only DiverseConsideration remains, I'll be bringing him to the train station in a few hours.
Thank all of you guys for coming, this was so much fun!
Favorite moment: Listening to everyone quoting along with the episodes.
Hoboken
Lilly and I cruising over the Triborough bridge trying to figure out if the beginning of it was where Bonnie Frazier got tossed from.
I can't wait until next year!

Well, I'm back in boring old Memphis now. Weather in Orlando cleared up this morning - aside from some pretty dense clouds and seething humidity - so we had no delays in flying home.
I'm not glad to be home. After travelling somewhere exotic for the first time since our trip to New York last October, I have to admit that I didn't miss this ghastly boring city or house at all. I want to go back to Florida.
I do look forward to next year's shindig, whichever one I decide to attend.
Once again, my dad and I extend many thanks to Lady Tesser and Prince-Consort Tesser for inviting us. We look forward to the day we meet again.

Just as a note, I've got my pics on my computer but haven't gotten them uploaded yet. I'll try and get them online this afternoon, after work. If I don't go right back to bed...
Oh, I didn't say this at the Cookout, but Diverse Considerations, you're pretty much a doppelganger of an old boss of mine, only with blond hair instead of red.
Anyhow, it was good seeing everyone I saw last year again, as well as meeting new people. Good times, good times.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Actually, I'm pretty used to hearing something of that nature. Apparently, I look like a whole lot of people because everyone always says that I look like someone they know.
Evan: "Gentlemen, behold. MORE CORN!"
And I had a great time, everyone. This was easily one of the most enjoyable things I've done in a long time and I can't wait for next year. Good times, indeed.
And for the record, Amtrak does not serve Hoboken.

But, it serves Newark Penn, which NJ Transit connects to through Hoboken
.
Looks like you all had a good time. Glad the weather didn't keep you all down. (Looks like every cookout had some bad weather at one point or another).

Ah, finally rested and able to post.
I had a blast at this year’s cookout.
It was great to see old faces again, and I enjoyed meeting new ones.
I know I had that "tired" look about me this year like last year, and while I wasn't tired last year, I was this year (3-4 hours of sleep doesn't really do it for me).
Still, I enjoyed reading all the Big O manga, and the doujinshi that Zola had.
Wasn't too sure what you all were doing having Dark-O in Ace-bandages but once informed I was glad to join in.
Had a lovely ride up, as well as back home.
I hope everyone checked out the image I made for the
cookout event on the calender.
Looking forward to PCF Expo '06.

Allright I'm back from the cookout that was live in Zola's household. The cookout was great with the most guests so far attended in one location with yours truely coming from NYC to head to Cape Cod. After a crazy night on Friday when Zola made a wrong turn and ended up in Long Island. Even though she was lost but she did made history for Big-O. She went on the Tri-Boro Bridge where Glinda from Season 2 came from. If she keep going the way she was going she would have ended up in JFK airport. Finally around midnight she arrives so we were off to pick up another tomato. R. Smith from PCF came with us along with LillyRose. The road trip was fun dodging the storm as Zola went complete android mode when it comes to driving.
We arrive around 5am at her house, so all of us fell asleep. RJesse was in horror when he saw me for the first time. Just over 4 hours later more guests began to appear as I found out that more and more people come in. 10 plus in total in one house as we all began to know each other as Zola the last one to wake up because of R.Roger encounter. One guest brought his dad with him as he never seen Big-O before so what 10 people have in common with Big-O? Why not watch all 26 eps that hole day.
In 12 hours one ep after another we laughed we analayze, we summarize we did reactments and more as the night went on. Then the funny moment as we were watching Act 12. All of us began to react Seebach's speech at the end. Zola with camera ready recorded the madness as we did the speech. As for me I wrapped a bandage around my head as we did the speech instant laughter. The food was excellent but a stomach virus would catch me off guard knocking me from having more. I had a good time and worth going back just simplying that I never thought that meeting Big-O fans would be like meeting people in your family I felt that way the whole weekend. Sadly the weekend went by quick as for many had to go back home. The man who never seen Big-O gives us a ride back to NYC. As a payment to him I give him and his son a tour of NYC.
Along with R. Smith, LillyRose we invaded Manhattan hitting streets like Broadway, West 72nd Street <Roger Smith's Mansion could not be seen> We also saw Ground-Zero, when at last we arrive at Battery Park the tip of Manhattan as we saw The Statue of Liberty in the night's sky. The over all presence was cool as the night came to a end sadly back to reality the same old life comes back. Seriously I would love to thank Zola and her family for inviting so many tomatoes in one place, for the people from PCF for having a good sense of humor. LillyRose cheering me up from my sickness, also to Muffin for not pwning me this week.
I can't wait for Expo 06 with a new car coming soon I will definatley enjoy the trip. From what we did this weekend all of us agree on one thing. "The Show Must Go On" "Big-O, It's Showtime"
"To Be Continued"
Famous quotes fromt the cookout. "Where do Roger gets his tires from? "There from Dark-O customs in Hobodeken where riding stock rims is the way to go
. While watching act 2 when Dorothy and Roger are staring at each other. Everyone goes silent as I killed the moment "This magic moment". Mostly all of the jokes where about Hoboken. The Act 12 Schwarvald invasion. I cover my face in bandages.
