This year's GP trippers included KC Filer, Sarge, Foon, DeeDee, Andy Woodard, Todd, John Ferguson, Edmund, Neal Carver, Myron, SteveM and Rod Rodgers. Non-ASer guests included KC's wife, Svetlana, and Ferg's pup, Lucy. See the GP2K1 Trip Reports and Pics and a pic of (most of) the group in the Tranquility Base GP station. A Sunday Sesh on the Delmarva with Dan King (Aug 11, 2002). Dan King, visiting from San Diego, hook up with Rod, Kirk and myself for a session at Naval Jetties, Delaware and the Foonbunker. Space Coast Visit with Jane and Bogie. I've got a few incidents to write about and would like to say now that Jane and Peter's hospitality was a breath of warm friendly air. No wait, maybe that was Bogie the retarded Chihuahua who snuck into the room and sniffed me out. Thanks to them I had a spendid visit to the space coast which put me in the perfect frame of mind to be stranded for a few extra days in what proved to be the warmest place in the country while winter raged in my neighborhood. [Also see Jane's long report.] The Road to Foonsocket (OT&Long) - May 2003 - New England & Cape Cod. Read the story on the title link. I met Doc in person for the first time. Other highlights: DeeDee, Rico Bates and wife, Tim Maddux and wife. I thank you all for sharing yourselves with me and though it may not often be about the surfing or the food, Rodski I should be getting at least one more point for meeting Doc and possibly a credit for drinking with him toe to toe. I think it was the 100 proof bourbon that finally nailed his coffin. Rico's wife Lynn said she could not remember the last time the good Doctor left gibbering like he did. GuidoPalooza 2003 - Sept 2003.
Isabel GP2K3. Sponge Visits the Capital (May 2006).
Yeah, we met this guy Sponge this week. He's a total lightweight.
Couldn't even finish a Miller Lite at the hotel bar Tuesday. He must be
Hawaiian though, gave us a box of Macademian nuts and talked a funny
language. You're lucky he didn'ttake you rollerblading. ;) Pretty covert how he diverted our attention
with stories of dodging waterphotogs then snatched the check. He's a
very cool dude for a middleage wannabee. Good to see ya spongie, but
you need a better disguise. I'd recognize you anywhere.
(L-R) Rod, Sponge, Foon George of the Jungle Visits the Capital (July 2006). Rodski and I caught up with visiting bodysurfer and new North Carolina resident George of the Jungle in (newly designated Crime Emergency area) downtown DC last night grabbing a bite to eat (George had Genuine Maryland Crabcakes) and quaffing a few (Pilsner Urquell) while catching up on his recent whereabouts. (1 point each with plans to inflate that at the GP) George looked fit and, as is my experience with most r/l encounters (except Skippy), is much more interesting in person. We noted that though he lives far inland in NC he has been surfing more than the Skipstah to whom he sends his warmest regards. ;) George has been studying the water temps and currents in the Atlantic and predicts the Mid Atlantic and possibly New England will get significant tropical action this season. Looks like another bumpy ride for the GP. Maybe they won't get evacuated so soon this year. I'm checking my storm shutters now. Nice to finally meet youGeorge. Hope to see you again in Sept. if not sooner.
