It was great fun! Thanks to Nir and the others for all of their efforts.
beoneel, Jul 17, 2009 @ 11:51

Had a great time (as always!). We stayed there until 1am. Good thing the weather was cooperating :)
Maria_, Jul 17, 2009 @ 12:17

Thanks Nir and everyone else who helped organize it! :) It was great meeting so many other people and hanging out...it was fun! :w00t: 
Firestar, Jul 17, 2009 @ 14:52

Thank you to everyone who helped organize and host the event. It was a great time and lots of interesting people to talk to. Although I cannot imagine an event hosted by Nir and Sarah-Jane being anything less than a spectacular time. Well done. Hopefully see you soon:D
megs22, Jul 17, 2009 @ 15:04

Why is everybody saying that it was so wonderful, splendid, fantastic, superb, great, jolly good, miraculous, amazing, astonishing, incredible, unbelievable, phenomanol, marvellous and extraordinary? 

Are there no complaints at all??????

:D
Arnovd, Jul 17, 2009 @ 16:24

Emmm... no?



:P
Maria_, Jul 17, 2009 @ 16:52

Arnovd: when there are complaints, I delete them immediatly so no one sees them!

Here's one I just removed:

"Hi, my name is Caroline and I attended the NMD yesterday. There was one Dutch member there, I think his name was Armo or something like that, and he kept trying to pinch my ass all night! He was kind of ugly so I told him I was not interested, but still he insisted! Needless to say, this is not the bahaviour I'd expect at a glocals event. Could you pls tell this Armo chracter to control himself better next time?"
Nir Ofek, Jul 17, 2009 @ 17:37

nice mix of interesting people, still was able to mingle easily despite came late.

thanks . hope you will have more activities like this soon. :)

Sarah-Jane the best host and Nir you should not be talking abt her smile so much she kept smiling even at 1 am. (I checked if it was stuck by duct tape and it wasn't :D)



@Sarah-Jane : I no longer want to kill you :P I'm over it hehehe

@Arno: less gossip will be better for your health :P

@Ilena (not sure of the spelling but it's glocals Reputed Blond UK Hairdresser): have fun on your vacation and I hope you are free on Wednesday for the hair cut.

@Nir : Great gathering man and maybe I will drop by next Wednesday.

@Everybody : Thanks for being there and hope to see you all soon. For the people I met could you please if you are reading this send me your usernames? (I have a really really bad memory for people's names and faces :( )

uktheturtle, Jul 18, 2009 @ 17:08

Come on where are the pictures?? There is a specific one i want to see!
Maria_, Jul 18, 2009 @ 21:22

SJ (aka UKtheTurtle): I love the way you publicly grovel here by (rightfully!) calling me 'boss' (OK, I admit it, I did ask you to do that). However, I must give credit where credit is due: you are the best, most friendly, most happy hostess I have ever seen. I wish I had your energy, your smile, and your genuine love of people. I mean it. You is amazing.

And I'm sure all the great feedback you received on this thread has NOTHING to do with the way you were dressed during the night:

Nir Ofek, Jul 18, 2009 @ 21:33

Maria: sorry for the delay, they'll be up this Monday latest. But I just posted the picture of Sarah-Jane from the night, and I know that's the pic you've been waiting for anyway.
Nir Ofek, Jul 18, 2009 @ 21:35

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA :laugh:

well it was hot out that night :hehe:
uktheturtle, Jul 19, 2009 @ 22:23

anyway...where are the REAL pictures.....you are slacking in your duties :cool:
uktheturtle, Jul 19, 2009 @ 22:41

@ Nir: So people didn't recognised you after you changed into a long dress, put on a wig and called yourself Caroline??? By the way.. you said you liked it?!?! :D

@ S-J: sweetheart.... I had no choice.... you told me I was only welcome when you could slam the sticker on my bum!!!! :Wow: (you did a good job though... no red mark on it the next morning.. hahaha)

@Nir: Nir my friend... I know you are a really digidumbo.... the last time you were trying to get the pictures from your camera, you were holding it up-side-down and shaking it endless waiting for the pics to come out.... You remember I told you the story of the bees and birds?? It's works almost the same.... Get your very little cable and stick it in the hole (of the camera of course) and the other end in the computer. :D:D:D
Arnovd, Jul 20, 2009 @ 19:21

Had a great time meeting new people! It was well organised and and I'm recommending it to everyone:)

Can't wait for the next drinks!!

See you again soon :)
Offalygirl, Jul 21, 2009 @ 15:06

Still waiting for the pictures. Come on Nir we know they are great! Dont keep them only for yourself!
Maria_, Jul 25, 2009 @ 21:18

The pictures are (finally!) online, here. Go ahead and tag yourself...

Sorry for the delay...

Everyone is invited to the New-Member Drinks this Wed (July 29) at 20h, at the Mandatin-Oriental. Just drop me a quick email if you plan to attend.
