I have to be at work at 6:30... but then I am off for 2... THANK GOD!

I have just woken up after a 12 hour sleep. So maybe that has given me the energy I need to put 'pen to paper' This was my first invasion and I was worried about spending a weekend with a group of strange Prince freaks

How wrong can I have been. Everyone was amazing and beautiful in their own way. I am just sorry that it all had to end and that i did not get more time to spend with everyone.

I'm not going to make comment on individuals as everyone gave me a little bit of themselves and for that I will always be grateful. But I would like to thank EVERYONE for being so welcoming and open. You really are all beautiful people.


I do need to say a HUGE thank you to Carrie for all of her help in plotting to get us out their and her assistance whilst in MPLS. Also many thanks to Darin and Denny for opening up their home to us and being great hosts.

Thank you beautiful people, you are forever in my heart.

Carrie is saying; "I had HIM yesterday. He is ONE huge viking, yes he is."

Anx can just listen, a bit slack jawwed, Ellie is unimpressed.

Sorry if I have to be the one to say this; but I hate you all...

And now serious; GREAT pics, y'all. Glad you all had such a blast. I do need to come to the US one day.

YES you do

ps, your caption to the photo above is CRACKING me up!

HamsterHuey said:

oh, goo.

Come see us any time.

Great pix, everyone! While looking at the pix, I alternated between saying, "Awww" and giggling. Why is it that everytime I see invasion pix, I get so damn happy? That does it, I GOTTA get my ass to the Vegas invasion!

yes you do!!

Natisse said:

Gonna do my best, it would be great to meet you and some other orgers too.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Carrie and Darin for all the hard work. As these things get bigger it proposes increasing difficulty for the hosts. You pulled it off with grand style!

New challenges led to new fun....

This was the first international Minnevasion too!

I love you both with all my heart!

Just like Ellie, I have also just woke up after a long slumber. There is no way this happen over a week ago!!!


Many thank you's to so many people.

My roomies-Dej, Erin and Tiff: I couldn't have asked for groovier roommates.

Anx-I never get to see you enough and even if I got to hang out with you everday, it wouldn't be enough.

Neal: Chicago Invasion is in order. I didn't get enough Neal time.

Dan: Rip, I love you to absolute pieces. I am humbled in your presence.

McD: Good to meet you. Hope we didn't scare you too badly.

MinnieG:

David: You were the stuff of fantasies all weekend long.

Lenka and Ricco: Ricco, it's been way too long.


That last day, just sitting in a room vibing with you all was so amazing. Coming home, I felt as if I was going through withdrawal. I did not want to go home. I guess that speaks to the love we all have for each other and it's wonderful we can get together, at least once a year, and be just 'be'. I love you all.

"I to" have just woken from a deep deep sleep. Wow. 2pm. It was a difficult decision to get up. But it is Sunday and work is tomorrow.

MPLS. A fantasy city since i was a young teenager when my imagination was captured by a guy named Prince on my TV set. I got to live there for a week and it was surreal. Within minutes of leaving our hotel for the first time Ellie and I were staring at 1st Avenue. Wow. What a tingling feeling. Soon after we were inside.

So famming aside, i got the same feeling as i do on every invasion. Everybody sparkles. Theres such electricity between us. And i go home with something new inside of me.

So much thanks to the org anisers. Created what we needed to make it happen. From the Friday 6 hour dance explosion (with our personal dj) to lounging about in front of the TV watching cute animals being smashed to pieces. It was all fun and will live with me forever.

Now to see if i have any unique pictures. I think most situations have been covered.

Waiting for Carrie at our secret rendevous downtown. Soooo cold. It was exciting trying to stay secret for 3 days in MPLS. Around any corner we could face an orger...





Yay! Famming extravaganza .....





Steam rising from the manhole. Thats just like in the movies.....





Check out the taxi we found .....





Hello Uptown. More tingly feelings.



I liked it so much i bought the picture.

Do we know a song about this?







Real hugs





Alcohol and technology just dont mix





Chris finds something under the bed ...





More dancing. I was totally worn out with all the exercise.





Making it to Mecca. Nobody home. Though i'm sure i saw a little girl walk quickly through the lobby.

Wow, how awesome is that??

awesome photo's Jon!!

thanks for sharing

I think I have got post invasion blues I keep walking around the house sighing. Don't think the clocks going back have helped. Even my kitty is tired of me moping around the house and has taken herself off to bed

ellieadore said:

Awwww, poor mopey kitty!


ps to Jon- Grat fotos! I REALLY laughed at the Chris shots!

endorphin74 said:

are there more than one?

for the record, the night that i was looking under the bed, i drank no beer. only vodka & red bull and the notorious lemondrop shot. so i have no idea how that bottle of beer ended up there!



(great fotos, ES. good eye!)
