I can't believe I did that..... He was certainly a beautiful man and I in my defense was sooooo tired..... I slept 6 hours this afternoon already..... I never do that..... sometimes I need to remember I am 40 now not 20.I can't get away with it.... I see the exhaustion in my eyes in most shots...

forgive me!

Great pictures. looks like a good time was had by all. Can't believe the sunshine, it's raining here STILL I need a holiday!

Natisse said:

read mine

yeah, i was about to say...i was looking at the pictures and sitting here thinking, "spats? where's he at, there isn't any pix of the rest of the invaders crowded around and in an all-out beatdown here, so i think muse made a boo-boo."

so, i went to bed at 2:00 am Sunday, got up at 5:00 am, and the brat kid next to me on the flight wouldn't let me sleep, and i have been having a work emergency going on since i got off the plane that kept me up till 1:00 am and meant i had to get up at 7:00 am, so i am freaking E X H A U S T E D and jet-lagged like you wouldn't believe on 9 hours of sleep in the last 3 days.

i will write and look at the pics when i am back to normal, but i have to say it was still way worth it, and i had a BLAST!

HereToRockYourWorld

Mel, I so very much enjoyed myself and hope you did too... ( Hopefully this makes up a slight bit for my having to miss Seattle.) Mary is a delight! Very glad you two are together... You are well suited...

See you in Minne!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy

sosgemini

You are the hostest to the mostest. I can't get enough of your energy , your incredible smile and or your infectious laughter. I can't thank you enough for making my experience so joyous Mr perfect hair at all hours.


MiguelGomez

You were the first face I saw and a perfect start off to a great weekend. I love you and appreciate you to know end. Its hard to maintain contact when you live 8 hours apart but I would say we have done a bang up job no?

ReturnofDOOK
You rock my friend. I adore you for your comedic nature but also for the deep sensitive side that shines just as brightly. It doesn't hurt that you have excellent taste in woman! I am thrilled to finally meet Lisa and spend time with you. Until we meet again.....

Lisa

I adore you! You are beautiful through and through. It was so nice to sit and chat with you! I won't let him anywhere near an event without you now! My home is open to you anytime..... When you guys are ready for a getaway let me know...

dlp45

Thank you very much for the great night... We had a ball..... I don't think I have ever been in a club where I enjoyed every song...


Insatiable

Jana you wild card you! Old school in the house! I thank you very much for showing.. I know times are rough right now and I hope we brought joy to your mix... You certainly did to mine! Here's to the future!

gemini13

It was so great to meet you lady. Thanks for trusting us enough to bring your husband along. ( :eek : Few people do that i have no idea why ) No more posting before morning coffee followed by a beer chaser.... I am gonna alert the org to warn me if you are getting snerty out there so I can stage a coffee intervention!


superspaceboy

Bob! What can I say? I can never thank you enough for opening your home to us and the best coconut shrimp in the world. The music was great the laughter greater... Flawless.... I am thrilled we finally got to meet. Thank you for keeping things on track.... and for the random bannings..... It was all so wonderful.....



See you in Minneapolis!



Kasey

Thank you so much for opening your home to us. You are simply wonderful. I know what an over whelming lot we are at first blush.... You are a champion. I very much enjoyed the time we spent with you.
This was pretty hot too.... You caught me off gaurd and few do!



Sweet
Boy are you rightly named..... You have a smile that would light up the darkest night and bring men to there knees. There is a lot of life in those eyes! It was great to meet you.

UncleGrandpa

Sir tim! So glad to have met you. What a fun weekend and you are a true trooper.


Ladyfunksoldier

Hey Lady! Thanks so much for the chocolates... I haven't opened them yet but am coveting them for the time being... You are so much fun..... I always wish there is more time to talk at these things then there ever is..... I am very glad to have met you and hope we get together to party up in the future.

The C / Ctheuncanny

Talk about wild card... It was a great honor to finally have met and be finished with a lot of the past. It really meant a lot to me. I very much dig your mind and the rest of you aint to hard on the eyes either! I do remember the sig I had back in the day... You have made me ponder and that is a great thing..... I look forward to the opportunity to actually answer some of those analytical questions without 3 glasses of wine in me.


Natsume
Pam!!!!! So glad to see you! What a kick it was..... We have to do this more often.....


stax

Mr beautiful sophisticated: It was a pleasure to meet you. Your wine selections were perfection. ( You wine snob you) Please forgive me for confusing your name with spats... I was really dead on my feet.... I certainly know the difference.

Kondwanii

You are so sweet miss beautiful smile! Was wonderful to meet you!

HeartbeatOcean You made it! And you survived DOOK! :woot; You are a champ! It was great to meet you.

General: Someone asked me what I get out of all this... ( Invasions) I pointed around the room and said this. Its beautiful to see people come together from all walks of life and enjoy each other. I always stand back at random points at every event and take it all in.... It just never ceases to amaze me..... Sure we get a bit wonky at points and laugh and get all silly but there are plenty of solid conversations and serious moments. ( They just don't make for a great photo shoot)

This event differed a little as it didn't seem to need the same warming period that others have had. Granted we had a lot of regulars but we also had a lot of new people and everything fell together wonderfully in seconds. perhaps peeps are getting more comfortable with the format in general.

I slept 14 hours upon return. THAT is a record for me.... I rarely get beyond 6.....

I always dread the final shout outs because there is so much more to say then I can find the words for.

Oh, yeah, I wanted to throw in a thanks to Bob and Kasey. Y'all are freakin' adorable.

muse-u rock!! i had a super duper good time meeting everyone....cant wait to do it again!!

superspaceboy and casey - thank you so much for hosting all of us, opening your home to me as a place to stay, and for generally putting up with me for several days. i am mad jealous of your six years together, someday i hope i have a relationship as solid as yours. your are both heavenly people, and i am totally serious about coming to nyc for a visit and staying with me, especially since casey hasn't been. of course we're close friends, bob, i can't even believe you had to ask… maybe I haven’t articulated how much I love you prior, enough for you to know before now, but I do. Very, very much. just make sure if your phone is calling me, it's cause you want to talk, not some phone glitch.

unclegrandpa - always a pleasure to see you! you are something else. you are so quiet for long periods of time, but when you do say something, it's always the kind of thing you stop what you are doing or saying and listen.

sosgemini - we've had our moments of weird on the site, and i was a little worried it might carry over, but you proved me way wrong. you are sooooo much fun, and crack my shit up. and you have like, the BEST hair EVER.

heretorockyourwold - oh, melly mel, i have waited so long to finally get to meet you. you've always been a touchstone for me on the site, and were one of the first handful of people i grew to love on the site, way back when i was just a quiet, meek lil' thang before i opened my big bully mouth. call a muppetfucker sometime, you have my number. love love love you.

muse - another person i had been waiting forever to meet, and very much a kindred spirit. thank you so much for whispering in my ear the exact words i have been needing to hear for 3 years, 11 months, and 7 days. now, if i can luck out and hear them from a gay man with a slightly different form of boundless love like yours, i will be the luckiest guy alive. You are an absolute angel, and i don't even feel ashamed that i cried in a bar or slow danced with you while 3 people waited for us to move out of their way, while you told me. god bless you, honey, i love you more than words can ever say. that will always stand as one of the singlemost uplifting moments of my life. others have said similar, but never with the lightningbolt precision and gossamer bliss than followed. thank you.

madartista - knowing now how close i was to someone so incredible and thinking it was a million miles away is a moment i will forever kick myself over. i am such a moron for not looking at a map. but, better late than never. i have wanted to meet you for such a long time, and it was an incredible event. i plan on coming to LA sometime soon, and seeing you again wil be a big part of that, if you want... and there's always ny.

miguelgomez - you are too freaking cute. you are the only person who has ever figured out the subtle joke about the pants, it totally blew me away! i have been dying to meet you as well, and you were just like i hoped you would be. i wish we had been able to talk more, but i wil be coming back that way, and want to see you again. and you should totally come to ny!

supa - you are such an angel, and just as i imagined you would be. i was actually really nervous about meeting you, and i don't know why. i guess part of it was you were like, my hero, in my early orging days, and the whole reason i stopped lurking and started posting to begin with. you are a constant source of inspiration, and an absolute love. will see you in LA, unless you want to come to ny first!

thec - W O W, that was fucking awesome and one hell of a suprise getting to meet you. Thank you so much for releasing me from the guilt i had been carrying around for a long time. you were always a big source of inspiration for me, and it was an incredible sigh of relief to hear what you said. thanks for the cap'n, too!

more to come...

Muse said:

I only got a hug





Well this invasion, was slammin

Bob and Kacey, THANK YOU for opening up your home and making this everything an invasion should be. The intimacy level was so high sky compared to if we all were hanging at a restaurant. Bob, it's been a way long time coming for us to hook up. I'm glad that our first time was with so many great people. We really didn't have a chance to sit down and talk but I hope you know that I consider you an integral part of the gay org mafia All night long as the non-Prince music was spinning I kept proclaiming (sometimes to strangers) OMG!!! I LOVE this song! And I'm glad to see you have such a wonderful man in your life. Kacey, you are the best It warmed my heart to see you taking care of my friend and being so responsible while everyone else was going to Sodom and Gamorrah






Muse2NOPharaoh


My partner in crime! Although I think sometimes you are both Bonnie and Clyde. THANK YOU for creating the invasion. You need to trademark it You are such a wonderful friend to me and I thank God the day we entered each others lives. You've added such a richness to mine and I thank you



HereToRockYourWorld
We didn't have nearly enough time to connect. I still marvel that the person who started out, all those years ago, on my last nerve has become one of my absolute bestest friends I love knowing that I can always talk to you about my feelers

madartista

Baby, I'm always so happy to be around you. You are amazing, and you know I do think that. It wouldn't have been an invasion without you


sosgemini and Miguel

I love what good friends we've become Nick, thank you for helping a car-less Supa get around I really do appreciate it. And Miguelindo, ball games should never come before me?



I'm glad that ultimately you did make it to Friday's party We didn't get enough time together for sure but that will be corrected in the not so distant future


And there were lots of surprises

Stax

I knew you'd be cool but I had no idea you'd be hella cool! It was so great to finally meet you. thank you for the ride to the party and for making intellectual love to me on Bob's balcony Thank you for the compliments on my mind, I really did take them to heart

Natsume

OMG!!!! We got to tongue-off!! You are the cutest and the sweetest and I am so happy we've become friends. You pack a lot of punch for such a little thing. You are the freakin bomb.


gemini13

I really didn't think you were going to come but you DID! I only get to see the girl who is fighting on the org but I got to see the girl who is crazy neat and way fun I look forward to becoming better friends. Thank you for taking a chance on us cuz you added some flavor to the mix

HeartbeatOcean

You were another one I didn't think would make it but you braved it up and made a cameo I have to admit, I really did enjoy watching you turn 8,000 shades of red when Dooks pants accidentally fell off his body I hope meeting everyone was what you hoped it would be. I would love to see you at more functions


The biggest surprises:

ReturnofDOOK
Well I figured you'd be there but my surprise was not one rape but two! I think Stax is the only one who has proof of the first rape I hope you know that all the times I have spanked you here at Prince.org was out of love. It hurt me more than it hurt you, trust me. I look forward to the day when I only spank you for joy! Glad to see you again, it wouldn't have been an invasion without you


Lisa (Dooks GF)

OMG!!! I can't believe I finally met you!!! I was beginning to wonder if you were photoshopped into all of Dooks pictures. Not that he isn't worthy of a beautiful girl, just look at me....I'm beautiful too, but I do wonder if he is worthy of this beautiful girl. Naw, everyone who knows Dook knows he's all heart.....and a some schween too And you even gave him permission to rape Dook, you have keeper!!! Seriously, you are the sweetest nicest girl and Dook better never be bad to you or I will kick his ass! I look forward to hanging out with you again


The C / Ctheuncanny

hoping he's lurking out there somewhere to read this thread

OK, I might have looked calm but when I heard "The C is here", inside I was like this and I thought Ambush!!!!! Well we certainly have had our share of scratchfests in the past and as a general rule I don't bring animosities to these events. They aren't about fighting or arguing or hashing out all the bullshit that sometimes goes on here but you have shown your true character my acting as peacemaker. To me, all that shit is in the past but I was genuinely impressed that you really wanted to let go of the past and move forward. I think all of us who went through that soap opera want that but it's nice to see that there could be friendship after the fire Thank you, truly.


Insatiable

WOMAN! I am so proud of you for coming! I know you hit a rough patch but I thought you might shy out on us as well I can't believe we finally got to meet!!! You have the most amazing mind and spirit. I feel like we really didn't have enough quality time together (damn being sleep deprived!! ) but we certainly had lots of quality time on the org coming up to this. It was a Mecca to meet you. I'm thrilled that our on-line friendship has spilled over into my real life. You are a true gem I hope you know how much I love, respect and admire you. Meeting you was HUGE for me

Oh, tell your roomie I said she's a very sweet gal and I'll see her next time I'm up



cborgman I can't believe I got to meet my brother from another mother!!!!! After all this time You are the sweetest man and I am honored to have been able to spend time with you. THANK YOU for sonsidering us and this invasion. You are fun, sweet, loving and have the hugest heart. We have been through a lot of shit together and I was just thrilled to meet one of my all time org faves I have the maddest respect for you. I hope you really do know that. And it's always nice to hear how my openness has caused others to feel like they want to and can be open themselves. That's what I respect about you so much, your ability to be open We didn't have nearly enough time to talk but when I visit NY we can catch up on all the stuff we missed this time. I hope you enjoyed yourself and know that you have true friends who love you here on the West coast.




And then there were the unknowns :


Sweet
Dang girl! Your screenname is just perfect for you. You are beaming in real life! I'm glad to make your acquaintance and hope to see you at the next gig

UncleGrandpa
Well I know your character here on the org but you are someone I know for sure I haven't really had the chance to know. Great meeting you and I hope to catch you next time around


Ladyfunksoldier
You are so relaxed and confortable to be around I loved meeting you and I know those strips were scrumptious even without the sauce!

Kondwanii
I have to admit that I don't recognize your screenname But you have a wonderful smile and a gentle spirit. Glad to make your acquaintance


You know, there needs to be 48 hours in a day because naptime is seriously missing from these invasions I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and thought damn, you are one tired ass bitch Thank you everyone who made this a time to remember. To the SF brigade, I promise I will drag my ass up there more often. I love that city and know I need to get back there more often because it has some of the people that mean the most to me there (in Oakland too )

On Sunday I had about 5 hours to kill before the EndUp so I went into the city to that freakfest It seemed tamer than last year, although I did see blood again And I went into this bar to have a drink and there was this damn lesbian trying to tear guys clothes off, although there was plenty of naked flesh all around, and telling these guys not to be pussies and to finish business DAYUM! And as I came out of the club, I ran into Sos on the street, just in time for someone to jump out of a 3rd story window Seriously, some dude jumped out a window. WTH!?

And I have to wonder, why is it that I always meet my husband and he never lives anywhere remotely close to me?! I met this guy at the bar and accidentally fell on his lips....gee, that happens quite a bit He did invite me to kick it on his boat the next time I come up so Nick, I might only need 2 days at your place instead of 4 next time around

People, don't ever think you don't belong at one of these meetups. They are fun and amazing and so many great friendships are solidified during them.

[Edited 9/25/06 19:54pm]
