We will be a few hundred miles southeast of the full annular path of the eclipse, but will do our best to enjoy the event.

LOL
Not taking anything away from, Jerome, who is the back bone of this endeavor, I simply wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" to all that contributed to this worthy cause this year. From the "Artists" who were absolutely amazing, wonderful and generous, to the self-less individuals of this community. I will probably miss a few, but its not because your contributions were not integral. Thanks to, AKC donating and buying, Dolso, All the "Paypal Widget folks", you know who you are, The Publishers, TheStephenKingcollector.com, Liljas Library, The Overlookconnection.com, Ben Staad, Brice, Wizardsrainbow, Divemaster, Shannon, Oh, screw it, ALL OF YOU FOLKS, in this truly giving community. I'm sure I missed a few, The Artists were particularly involved this year and of course Mr. King and staff!!!!
Anyway, don't want to sound like an "Oscar" acceptance speech, but thanks to one and all for your generosity!!!!
Give yourselves a "round of applause"!!!!!
:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

We skip the Park festival-too hot too crowded-too expensive. 05-19-2012 06:24 PMPatrick 05-19-2012 06:24 PMRandall FlaggI sense a thread merge-we already have a 2012 HFF thread.
Admital General El Jefe, please take care of this. If Merlin causes any trouble feel to ban him for up to 7 days. 05-19-2012 06:25 PMPatrickI almost merged them, but figured he'd just start another one. :lol: 05-19-2012 06:26 PMRandall Flagg 05-19-2012 06:28 PMMerlin1958 05-19-2012 06:29 PMRandall Flagg 05-19-2012 06:38 PMPatrick 05-19-2012 06:57 PMBrice:rofl:
Ah, my first merge since my promotion and my first ever administrative action in CC. :D
Bill, on another forum I'm on the little title (where it says Cyclopean Calamari for me and the line about your haven title and shannon for you) mine says "banned for life"...and it was put there by the staff like a year or more ago. 05-20-2012 07:07 AMMerlin1958:D 05-23-2012 10:06 PMMerlin1958A little something to officially close out the 2012 Haven Fundraiser.
