Clive and Dirk arriving.












Me and THE car...I swear I didn't touch it :P


The best for last...GAAA!!!HEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!!

Are you ever going to wash your arm Heather? :lol: :P

Oh Heather!!! I think I'll scream. You lucky person. w:

Who has the biggest grin?? Heather or Clive! :lol:

Those are great pics, Heather! Good to see you girls having the best of fun th:

I am green with envy...maybe next year!!
The weather looks wonderful.
DAVEY

OH man I wish he will come to Canada

Oh so much fun, pictures to come soon. I wonder how Becca is feeling this morning?

As we wrap up the weekend, a bunch of us are hanging out, so we wanted to say hi!

Boissee,Cusslermen,Ace Roberts, Jet Doctor............



Oh and Heather, You need my permission to post photos of me, at the very least I have to pre-approve them!!!!!!!! yike: yike:

I'm so glad everyone had a great time!! You know how bad I wanted to be there, we always have next year! Love you guys, Julie

Here come some pix



Here is me and a Lotus Elise...I dunno who it belonged to. Does anyone know?


Me and Clive's Jag


Clive and Becca with the Jag...woo woo


Me and Jack DuBrul, who happens to have good taste in drinks, and had many drinks that night


Me, Kerry, and Papa Jim


We were lucky enough to get to eat dinner with Dirk saturday night. Clive stopped by to visit. I think Heather's dad really enjoyed it.


After dinner, during the book signing.


Steve Coonts signing a book for me. He gave a helluva speech. Unfortunetly Dirk has a bone to pick with him because he dissapeared before Dirk could get his book signed o_O


Spying on Jack from the balcony in the morning while he gets some well deserved quiet time.

Those were my favorite pictures. I have to say that I came to the convention with high expectations and they were probably exceeded 100-fold. Thanks to Wayne and all the people who made it happen. Special thanks goes out to some of the ladies for helping Jack find his keys ;)

Awesome pics, blackjack! th:

I like the "paparazzi" pic of DuBrul :lol:

The men themselves...wow!

Thanks for sharing the pics guys.

Cheers beer:

Andy

Hehehe...I have a lot of things to say right now...lets see.....
Rob- I may wash my arm...but my nose...My nose is a WAY different story. :lol: :huh: Details on that later...maybe. :P
Shaun- What was wrong with Becca??? Also, I looked for all of you guys Saturday night...but I couldn't find any of you. I was told, by a very drunk person who's name I shall not say, that you were all in the restaurant, but since I was in my pj's and all, I decided not to go inside for a closer look. :P
Liz- I'm very sorry, I forgot about that rule. You really shouldn't worry though, you look great in all of my pictures.
Julie- Love ya too!
Shaun- Yes, my dad enjoyed it a LOT! And he thinks me and my mom are the chatty one's! I mean, did you hear him trying to get Dirk to move his family to Idaho? Yeah, he pretty much ignored me all through dinner. <_< LOVE your paparazzi picture of Jack, by the way. TOTALLY cracks me up!

I'm so wiped out right now, it isn't even funny. All the adrenalin I've built up this past weekend is really crashin down on me...and the fact that I have to get up and go back to work in the morning isn't helping much either.
I'll post the rest of my pictures as soon as I get the chance.

HI GUYS! w:

I LOVE THOSE PICS!!!!

I'M SO SAD I COULDN'T MAKE IT THIS YEAR.

I GUESS YOU HAD A BLAST! th: beer:

LOVE,
LARA

Becca was in good form at the bar. Yeah we were all at a table in the bar sharing stories that can never be repeated, so don't even think it Becca ;)

Thank you!

The Lotus shown above, is Clive's "daily driver", (as long as the weather is nice, and it's almost always nice in Phoenix.)

I echo everyone's comments about what a great time we had.

Start saving now, so you can be with us next year, in Clarleston SC, for
Cussler Con '07.

We'll be taking a very interesting tour of the Hunley Museum.

Cheers,
Dave

I just got home a little while ago, so I'll post some stuff soon. Probably in a new topic. Was a great time! Heather's parents deemed me safe to visit, so i should be getting a visit from her soon! :lol:

Pics to come soon.............

You put on a good show for them :P

I've got everyone snowed.... :lol: :lol:

Hey all, I just got home too. I'm POOPED! Had a super time and it was so great to meet everyone in person! Had a lot of fun experiences too. I'll post some pic's when I get them downloaded tomorrow.

Hey, I said NO pics of people with the Cusslers!! yike:

Haha, just kidding, thanks for posting them all!

Liz, you have nothing to worry about. You look FABULOUS! You all do, seriously. I wish I'd been there, looks like a blast. Definitely looking forward to next year and touring the Hunley museum. We should get some great stories from Clive about his search and successful finding of it. th:

That is, if Katie will let me go. I told her the Convention was this weekend and she imagined it to be like a Star Trek convention where people dress up like spock and speak like Captain Kirk or Scotty. :lol:

Here's the scoop. Blackjack and Dirk C. have a bet concerning the UA-ASU football game. Come the the book signing in Dec and see who is wearing the winning team's hat!

I am also home *sigh* I got in at 10:30pm last night and caght up on some MUCH need sleep. i will have post pics and storys later BUT I will say one thing to Shaun about stories SAME GOES FOR YOU BUDDY BOY! :lol: :lol: :o

Great pics!

Love ya Erica!!!!!

Thanks for adopting me as one of your own, you three. How lucky was I to have four mom's looking out for me. ^_^
LOVE YA!

Dang, I look like Amazon woman and I need to have that second chin removed! YUCK yike:

LOL Heather! I think your mom was glad we were looking out for you too! I think she's more at ease now that she's met us all and sees that we're normal. Well... at least mostly normal. ROFL.

I like that picture of the four of us. Thanks for posting it!

By the way... did I forget my glasses? I'm the only one without them. :lol:

I just love these pics and want to thank all of you for posting them and reporting on your fun time with Dr. C and the rest of the gang!! Maybe next year I will make it!!! w:

Rubbish.

I concur with Andy, you all look fabulous. Especially that amazon woman in the middle. th:

LIZ!!!!!!! :angry:
None of that! You look great. :)

Thanks Heather. That picture of you and Erica is great as is the one of the 4 of you th:

Thanks Men for that boost of confidence! w: beer:

Yeah, that's right....I'm not done yet.


Me and Paul Kempricos!
;) Good times Erica...good times. :lol:


LOOK! We had our own sign!


Fun story.....This is Wayne the Bartender. Me and him became buddies when I got trapped outside closed doors during the banquet........Okay, so maybe I wasn't really "trapped", I was just too scared to walk in by myself...in front of a hundred plus people....and have to cross the enitre room carrying a very unsteady tower of hardback books. If those weren't good enouph excuses, Stephen Coonts happened to be speaking. Anyway, 15 minutes later, and after Mr. Coonts was was done, I finally got up the nerve to walk in.........but not before I learned that Wayne the Bartender loved his job, didn't like computers much, and had no idea where Idaho was. :lol:

So when's your second date with Wayne? :lol:


Notice the painting in the first pic of the bathtub escape scene in Cyclops. ;)
