Looks like fun. I'm just glad those old detractors who used to come here and make nasty remarks about anything with the words San Francisco haven't appeared. I'm so glad we learned to ignore them and they went away.

Faina posted this to let you all know that the site now has 5 new photos that she shot and sent me to scan and upload. Sorry it's gotten unpleasant, Faina. (This is why the other thread was shut down.)

Patrick, thank you for always making me laugh out loud!

fdecarlo, email me directly and I'll put you on the mailing list for the next GTG. We're supposed to have one sometime this spring.

Glad you enjoyed the "all-me" party pic!

As some of you know I'm involved in community theatre where I live in Naples, Florida. I actually created that site for the so-called pictures of the SF gathering to show my skills. Didn't my make-up and costuming come off pretty good? I was hoping no one could tell that all those people were really me. And I think the blending of the pictures so I could have three different versions of myself in some of them was especially creative, it is very difficult to see where I joined the pictures. The hardest part was getting to SF on that date in October when I was in New York, but it's all part of the creative effort. I am so sorry my "agenda" has been discovered, and my multiple personalities revealed.

Now the true fact: I'm also totally bi-polar. In addition to being all those SF loving imposters that I pretend to be because the SF Chamber of Commerce pays me, I'v also gone to work for the San Jose tourist board as well in another set of disguises. IN fact, I'm really also Lake, Robinsen, Abi, and all the other multiple personalities. I just like doing this to entertain everyone. So while some people may claim that SOME of the posts on this thread were done by the same person using different names, the FACT is the ALL of the posts here were done by me. Aren't I good?

Wow, Patrick, am I ever impressed! I had no idea you/we/I was/were so creative.
Great to see all the photos - when are all you SF folks going to come up to Toronto so I can get to meet you? Considering that we're all the same person, it's strange we've never met.

Man! I've never looked better!

Patrick-
If you don't have clothes on would you be a "bi-polar bare"? :-?

Hmm, Considering I've been accused of being part of the "Borg", I am looking for myself in the pics...

Marilyn, I found #18 hilarious because I recall when I met you on Halloween during the Village Parade that you stated you were going to do something like this at the next GTG. Good to see you followed through!! LMAO Should we call that pic "The Many Faces of Marilyn"??

missjanna, it was when I was in NY in late Oct that I suddenly remembered that I had that photo. Phil Flash threw a birthday party for me quite a few years ago at which he made up half masks of my face and also fans of my face (they said "I'm a Marilyn fan" on the back). Although the actual party wasn't a surprise, walking in the door to a sea of guests who looked like me was quite a shock! So what could be funnier than posting it as the "real" SF GTG, since I had just been accused of being about 20 other people? I could not WAIT to get home and post the photo.

Patrick, you are SOOO good!
Kal, you are SOOOO bad!

Meesthare, Mohammed must come to The Mountain, or in this case, The Borg. Don't you deserve a holiday this spring on the Left Coast?

Hooray!!! So much better that the editors now remove only the offending posts instead of removing the entire thread which is obviously the goal of Robinsen, Lake, Guardo, and others (or all one person, whatevery).

Hmmm

Anyone notice how our SJ weirdo never pops up during the week until around 7:30 EST or 4:30 PST or later?? If he was actually more than one person, you would think we would find at least ONE of the names posting during working hours! LOL

Now he will come on as TKay probably....and he was so busy to bash everyone else that he barely noticed a legit attempt at a San Jose GTG that he could partake in! LMAO

No biggie as Fodors will no doubt be deleting his posts again like they did this morning.....LMAO ;-)

Thanks for sharing the photos. I am so envious... it looks like you had a lot of fun!
Maybe next time I'll catch one of these events!

Yea! I made it in the "Original Borg" column.



Unlike the "faux Borg" created by our unoriginal SJ fans.

I know my post is coming on the heels of my other personality "Kal" but I'm so glad to have been "found out" by Lake, Abi, Robisen. It was a burden to carry the weight of my secret. Now that I've merged with my other personalities it's great to know that I have so recently been to all my favorite places.

Suzie, Our nose itches. Ready to scratch it?

BTW, Kona Brewing Co beers on Tap at "The Rock".
Also, Secret Cellers by P.James/Cascades has some nice, informal, wine tastings.

Yes we are quite allergic to oak trees. Let's scratch away.

BTW was up on Douglas last Sat evening near Pomodoro and saw a license plate with "aloha" on it. Immediately thought of you. Were you in the area?
