Hey, I was thinking.  Most DTF meetups I know of have revolved around concerts/music festivals.  Is this the first one (of this size - I know of 2-person meetups and other small affairs) that happened at a social/life event?  Or am I forgetting something from the past?
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Way back myself, Bill, Jackie, and a few others got together in the NYC area and I think once or twice it did not revolve around a show. But there certainly wasn't as many people and everyone was from the area.

Good point. I think you're right.  Nothing comes quickly to mind.

Yup, the only other one's I've been involved in were one person events, usually people coming to my restaurant, or your semi-annual SF work trips.

Hey guys, we just opened our cards and are keeping our list for eventual thank you cards and we have one card that was unsigned. It's from DTF for sure and I have my guess, but if the person with the "five year plan" card could message me or say so here it would be appreciated! :D

I actually just made that post on Facebook before checking this thread:

"Ended yesterday with wedding surprise #1, so might as well start today with the much smaller wedding surprise #2: Intro.wav.
For a long while now Jennie and I have enjoyed watching BattleBots together, and we both love their ring announcer, Faruq Tauheed. He's even from Philly, so it was a running joke leading up to the wedding that we should get him to announce the bridal party at the reception. That might not have been possible, but with Cameo, you can at least come close.
So I got him to do the attached video, and had it sent to the band in advance ready to play at the right time. As far as Jennie knew, Shelby Logan Warne was to be announcing us just like she was everyone else, but instead got Faruq with our special bot themed intro."

That's awesome. I loved all the BB nuggets that he dropped throughout it.

Thanks again, Nick. V and I had a blast. I loved the venue, the tunes were great, the food was excellent, and the overall vibe was just awesome. We spent a lot of Sunday recovering as we had back-to-back open bar wedding nights, and then Monday rolled around and everything we were planning to do in Allentown was closed  :lol We decided to shoot over to Philly and spent the day there. It was a nice cap to the long weekend.

Thanks Nick and Jennie for hosting the best wedding I have ever attended.  The fact that I got to see so many DTF’ers there was just icing.
