That picture alone will fuel my awesome-powered rocketship until I reach Alpha Centauri!

Dart · Sat 31/07/2004 14:21:13

You're back.

Show me lots and lots of pictures. And then give me a brief daily synopsis of what happened on each day y'all were gone.

Moox · Sat 31/07/2004 16:39:56

WOW, THERES A FEMALE IN THAT PICTURE!!!!

Adamski · Sat 31/07/2004 16:49:15

Wotcha woot. Once the jetlag has gone I'll post some sort of real synopsis of the event. Needless to say, every second of it was awe to the max. Thanks to Eric and Dave for hosting us!

Esseb · Sat 31/07/2004 17:47:59

You can just about tell who's British by the level of paleness. Welcome back guys.

Haddas · Sat 31/07/2004 17:53:05

Them be some fine legs you have there AGA. Ooh! A Female! ...I'm scared.

Dave Gilbert · Sat 31/07/2004 18:40:41

Yar! Just saw Andail off to the airport in a taxi, so Mittens is officially over for me. What an amazing trip! Eric, thank you again for hosting all of us. The week just zoomed by. It was also a rare pleasure to show NYC to some of you. 9 AGSers crammed into my tiny studio apartment watching "Jerry Springer" has to be one of the most surreal moments of my life. Pictures to follow.

Grundislav · Sat 31/07/2004 18:53:01

I am back as well, and just got up.Ã,Â I must say, I am NEVER flying through JFK again...my flight home was also delayed 3 hours and I didn't get back until 12am.Ã,Â If Mittens hadn't been one of the best experiences ever, I might be upset.Ã,Â I'll post my pictures at a later date, since I am on crappy dialup and uploading them would take an age and a half.

As I already said, meeting all of you was amazing and I had one of the best times of my life.Ã,Â Thanks to Eric and family for providing the awesome adventure cabin, and Dave for driving us, putting us up at his place, and showing us around NYC.Ã,Â

I also lament not being able to say goodbye to M0ds and Scummbuddy, but hey, we'll say goodbye at the next Mittens!

Yeah yeah!

--EDIT--

Here's a pic to whet your appetite:

I am really cheesed that I missed this.
I vow to be independently wealthy by next year so we can all have Mittens on my private island.

edit: That picture is bonerific.

MillsJROSS · Sat 31/07/2004 19:11:05

Can't wait to see some pictures, as I didn't bring a camera.

I had one of the best time of my life...and for those in the U.S. who didn't come, without good reasons, shame on you!

BTW Grund, I have your hoody, you left it in the cabin.

-MillsJROSS

EDIT - Also give us that log, Jet!

First batch of pictures: http://www.agagames.com/netmonkey/mittens2004/index.html

All I want to say is that I had a great time over there, definitely one of the best times of my life. I can't believe that all of us got along so well, even Jess who all of us didn't know until we got there. I hope to attend future AGS gatherings... I'll make the effort to get money and go if it's not too expensive. And thanks to Eric and Co. for providing all the accomodations and putting up with our mess.

Dave Gilbert · Sat 31/07/2004 22:44:30

Spent about 3 hours turning these into thumbnails and entering captions.Ã,Â Don't be overwhelmed by the "25 pages" tag, a nice chunk of the pages only have 2 pictures on them.Ã,Â Blame the photothumb software.

jetxl · Sat 31/07/2004 23:57:06

Aah, my hair piece is catching wind!

TEH LOG has to be digitized by hand first. It's 10 pages full of mittens insider news.

Pumaman · Sun 01/08/2004 02:51:08

Well, now that I've chosen to sleep and totally screw up my body clock, I'd may as well post my photos:

This year's mittens was superb - it was great to meet you Americans and to re-meet the European gang.

Thanks again to Eric and Jess for hosting us, to Dave for driving us and putting us up (and we still owe you money for the parking, oops!); and finally thanks to everyone for coming -- it's the people who make Mittens what it is

Scummbuddy · Sun 01/08/2004 06:14:22

Heh, C JONES Rd.

That reminds me that on our way to the Albany airport, there was a car in front of us that had the license plate "Mills J". Crazy stuff!
