Hi all.
I've been exhausted since the weekend. REALLY! Staying up til 2 am was really a burden for me and I haven't bounced back yet.

We enjoyed our Dinner with Taylor to celebrate the BEacon one year anniversary. We met in Edison, NJ at the Macaroni Grill. It was a great place to meet. Marcy made the arrangements and our group met around 4:30 and left at 9:30. Jamal, our waiter, was a doll. He took a lot of our group shots.
Photobucket is acting up for me so I only have a few right now.
I made a little tribute DVD of my sister's videos and greeting cards with one of my Beacon pics. We passed around albums again. Diane has an album that puts anything I've seen to shame. Wow. Are these people organized or what?
I had a special picture I took at Millersville that I framed and put on the table so we had Taylor with us. I am looking for a photo contest to enter the picture in so it's not on the internet in any posts because it's special! Listen to me. Like I know what I'm talking about.
We then adjourned the meeting to the hotel where I set up a projector and laptop and we watched DVD's of Taylor projected onto the wall in the hotel room. Some of the DVD's were so hilarious I couldn't catch my breath.

We're planning a day in NYC later in the Spring. Hopefully we'll be able to put those stalker skills to work for us and we'll 'bump' into Taylor in Manhattan.

This is the group shot sent to me by PattyP. My group shot is not as good.


L to R: Sarah, Patty, Dee ( holding Taylor), Diane, Karen
Back: Marcy, Candy, Louise, Cathy.

Despite having only read HFOS once, I won the answer Taylor questions contest and won a plaque with 'Dance, Love, Sing' inscribed on the front. The CD's are of the Beacon with a picture I took at that show.


Dinner card I made. The other card has the Stax picture from Glen Allen on it.


Hellooooooooooooooooo. Remember kissmybear? Here it is!


Diane just won't let go of Taylor!

Ladies with smiles on their faces and Taylor buttons on their shirts.


Restaurant marquee. I'm practicing for the next tour.


More later as I upload to pb. I have 1000 pics in the file and they want me to create a subfolder. Right.

Here is the 'equipment' used to project Taylor onto the wall. Thanks to Mr. 4Tay for the loan.


Here is the Beacon video on the wall.


And a picture of the video.


From the restaurant. Dee the photo bug.



There were nine of us in the hotel room but none of the shots do us any justice b/c everyone was moving around. So just imagine 9 happy faces bed-dancing to The RunARound.

Thanks to Gloria also for the Taylor trivia games. She could not be there but sent the games so we could get door prizes!

Thank you for sharing your story and pics! What a great idea and what a fun time! How much enjoyment we get from coming together in the name of Taylor!

Thanks for sharing your recap of the night and the pictures are great! It looks like you guys had so much fun!

I enjoyed the pics and recap.. thanks for including us in a virtual fashion!

Looks like a fun time had by all!

I heard you girls had fun. That's for the pics. Keep us updated for the Spring NY fling... I just might have to make a drive for my first visit to NYC.

I can't wait until we get these two groups together again!!
It looked like you had so much fun, and all those cool cards,
prizes,etc. You're very organized! Just wait until we plan
a "Yankee" SP Convention-it will be an amazing event
Glad everyone had so much fun and wish I could've gone

Thanks for posting the update and pictures 4tay

What a great night that was. I still can't get those Beacon images of Taylor out of my head....:Thud: . We were squeeeeeeeeing like school girls and it was a blast! Whens the next one??? I think the next show I went to wasn't until the House Of Blues in June. I went to another in PA somewhere, but my memory is not too good on that one. That usually happens when I don't have my camera...lol. If we do one for Millersville in October I know allot of people who would love to come to that one, but thats months away and "hopefully" Taylor will be touring by then and we will be "on the road again"!

Thank you so much again for the DVD, and a HUGE thanks to Mr. 4tay for the "EQUIPMENT"......I was going to post of few pictures here, but they are very similar to yours and yours are better!

OH WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!...............:drool::drool:

Candy :-)

Yes, the equipment made all the difference! LOL.

My next show was in Cohasset, MA in mid-June. By then we'll have a NYC stalking session, I mean reunion so I'm up to the HOB in AC, same as you Skeeter.

I don't have any pics/videos from HOB. Just cell phone pics. I was at the stage and the 15 year old security guard stood right next to me.

I definitely recommend a projector. It's the only way to fly!

I look forward to the groups 'merging' for a party. We will need an entire room for that. Any ideas about location???
