Nerd Alert!

I'd like to meet Wolfie so we can debate which were the best episodes of "Lost."

Lost: 10 Best Episodes - Photo Essays - TIME

My favorite is "The Constant." One of my other faves, "Tricia Tanaka is Dead," is sometimes cited as one of the worst. Go figger.

I would love too. One of the corner stones of my sobriety is one alcoholic talking to another.

Hell yeah ! Come on down to Oz ! Admittedly I am not a fan of big crowds but the spectacle of seeing 100k SR fellows would be awesome !

Like Vencia I didn't answer the survey but yeah, I'd love to meet everyone f2f but not at a big old party.

I'd like there to be a central meeting area with plenty of icecream and cake, tea and coffee and plenty of areas to chat in small groups and one-on-one.

ETA Oh and Art, you and I would have to sneak out so you can see my little art shop.

That's how I envisioned the "party"... similar. Like a big conference with many different areas and activities, some in larger groups, some more quiet and intimate. We could have arts, music, yummy foods, maybe pets (given the so many animal lovers here), science, a fair for recovery methods, I dunno. All created by us. Oh, and maybe a beach nearby.

I'd do it. I've texted all day long to an SR friend who's gotten me through some pretty rough days.

Learningagain, I've been to Cleveland and you have a fine art museum.

Yes!!! You know...we COULD really plan this! Heck...thousands and thousands of people from all over the world fly in to Akron, Ohio every summer for AA Founders Day. Let's just have SR Founders Day! :-) Preferably not in Akron, Ohio. Haha. A beach sounds amazing!

Hmmmm... SR does tend to make me look 10 lbs lighter and way more cuter. I think I will stick to this.

I met an SR friend once. We are from the same month support thread and live a few hours from each other, so we met when she was on this side of the state. It was great!

Great video/song, Joe Nerv, loved it.

Yeah I think it would be totally doable, but would require endorsement and involvement from the official SR staff, and also a bunch of people who would be committed to organizing it and taking responsibility for the realization. I have some experience in organizing conference-type meetings and events... it's a lot of work and can be stressful, requires good coordination, but nothing impossible.

Anyhow, cool fantasy I think
