A week from tomorrow is that dreaded, depressing day -- Valentines Day.

Thinking that we who have no valentines can organize some local get-togethers (dinners, whatever) as an alternative celebration. Either on the 14th or thereabouts, here's an opportunity to get together with other local TBDers.

I'd be willing to organize a Chicago area get-together, and/or participate in a San Diego one (I'll be there 2/9-12).

ewb1,

Chicago is right next door to me. However, now that I've seen 4 inches of snow fall in 2 hours, and still falling, don't think I'll be going anywhere anytime soon.

But, if no one else has told you, I wish you a wonderful Valentines Day.

(Will you be my valentine?)

hey ewb1 --

Great idea to organize a Chicago area get-together! Especially in time for the world's most contrived, yet frustrating holiday. Dunno if you've seen the group called Post Globally, Meet Locally but they're organizing a lot of local events - you might want to post your suggestion there too.

If you do end up meeting, let us know! If you're up for it, you might even bring a camera or video cam to record some of it for posterity. :) It'd be fun to host a little gallery of some of these events on the site at some point...

That's right!! You're in Chicago so you feel my pain!!

Hey!! I have an idea. Search the members list for anyone in the surrounding area and send them an invite.

I have friends/relatives in the area, so I might just make the trip.

I don't think there's a way to search the member list by location. Running out of time to get a true anti-valentines day thing together, but I might suggest a Chicago meeting for sometime this year in the "Post Globally, Meet Locally" group. If you're planning to come down to Chicago at any point, let me know and we can meet.

Count me in for your Chicago gathering...depending on the snowfall, of course. Yesterday's shoveling just about knocked me out. it wasn't just the snow. It was the icebergs pushed out of the alley by the snowplows, to land in front of my garage.

So not loving winter this year.

And so we have another cold climate person!! LOL

(Every night I dream of 80 degree weather, sandy white beaches, and crystal blue water.)

Wednesday evening, I watched 4 inches of snow fall in two hours. By the time it was done, we had almost 6 inches.

Moving south is beginning to look better and better!!
