Whew! *wipes sweat from brow* That's a relief!

I'll be bringing a digital too, and I'll extend the same courtesy - anyone who doesn't want their picture posted will be free to say so...

I'm not sold on pictures, personally. For one, I hate being in pictures...and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. We'll see what we can do, though.

oneTVslave · 10-06-2004, 06:16 PM

I'm with you John. While I love taking pictures, I don't enjoy having mine taken. Honestly, most pictures that I take would not be posted - just for my own mementos of the trip.

**Amanda** · 10-06-2004, 06:55 PM

Me three. I'm absolutely positively without a doubt going to abuse my mod delete powers on any pictures of me that get posted.

As long as y'all don't mind being our memories of the trip it's all good

Cause I'm with OTS, I want pictures for myself but I don't have a problem keeping them that way for those that would rather remain unshown.

Stargazer · 10-06-2004, 07:05 PM

I will be bribing Amanda to delete mine as well.

At least the unflattering ones.

DJeterFan · 10-06-2004, 07:19 PM

Awww, we don't get to see photos of the event?

Stargazer · 10-06-2004, 07:44 PM

I'm guessing that there will be some pictures posted. As long as people ask permission before posting anyone else's pictures, and John doesn't mind, I personally don't have any problem with it. I think the main fear is that drunken, unflattering pictures will be put up for all to see. I'm sure if common sense and respect for privacy is adhered to, we can all share a few pics.

Wish I could attend, but I'll be there in spirit. I hope you all have a great time, and I'll be looking forward to a group shot of a couple dozen people with paper bags over their heads.

I wish I had seen this earlier, but while I was watching "Airline" on A&E last night, there was a scroll at the bottom of the screen saying they're looking for more airport stories to film. If you go to aetv.com, click on 'Airline', and then click on 'Tell Us Your Story', there's a form you can fill out to be on the show. It's good till late November I think. It would have been so cool to see a story on a bunch of FORTers flying to a convention in Chicago to meet for the first time. I wonder if it's too late for them to film this weekend?

Wish I could attend and meet some of you fellow FORTERs... but I am currently in process of becoming a permanent resident here.. and I can not cross the border while I am in process. I do hope John allows photos to be posted here.. so we that cant attend will be able to see everyone and the fun you have.
