Speaking on behalf of all the freelancers, I want to give out a tremendously heart-felt thank you to all the fans that came to the Open House. Every year I am humbled and flattered by all the praise heaped upon me that I do not feel that I am the equal of. You guys really know how to show your love, and the only way I feel I can measure up to that love is by working even harder to produce better and better artwork for you all so that maybe my quality will finally be deserving of your praise. Thank you so very, very much. Palladium fans are the finest.

Thank you my friend, we enjoyed hanging out especially the Friday night soiree. You keep drawing them, we will keep buying them.

Agreed. Seconded. Dittoed. QFT.

Great Open House this year.

It is always great to see you guys. I meant to stop on through and say hi and goodbye on my way out. You all do a superb job and are quite the friendly bunch. Until next year in Westland (or the year after), we'll have to be satiated on the good times we had there this weekend. Thanks to all the freelancers and the GMs too. You guys all deserve the heaps of praise you got.
A big thanks also to Kevin, Alex, Wayne, Julius, and Kathy for hosting everybody. They really do make it feel like a large family gathering. I know it must be stressful, but I think it is well worth it, and I hope they feel that way as well. I noticed Alex looked happy and healthy and that left me feeling like no matter what life throws at you, you can overcome it. I'm glad he is doing better. Kevin is always in such good spirits and that is uplifting as well. Everyone was very friendly and seemed like good times were had by all. Thanks again to everyone involved. And a big bag of thank yous to Mike Mumah.

THIS

..Here, here. The number of people that came up to me expressing haqppiness at the progress of my recovery was a bit overwhelming, but it's nice to know how many people care. I really enjoyed every moment of this Open House and am waiting with baited breath for the next.

..Stay well my brothers and sisters, until we meet again I'll see you all here on the boards.

-Mike <8]

And thanks to all of you Freelancers for your efforts, they certainly help make the Open Houses and the Palladium games what they are.

Real treat to see everyone and hang out. Played a game in which my character stayed most of
the time on another guy shoulder's but hey I still had a blast watching the funniest guy I have
ever had the opportunity to play with. Can't wait to do it again .

I said it and I mean it, our fans ARE the greatest. Thanks for coming out, folks. It reminds us why we do what we do.

Me too. Even as it was broken up the service, while friendly, was just bad. I really felt bad for our server, since she was also tending bar. Next time we'll just go to some buffet or something so I won't be half an hour late to my game.

All your fault, bra.

Your table looked pretty happy when I offered to step in for your tardiness! Except for the Goddess that is...

hahaha. The game still went well. I'll just have to make it a point to be more creative with my game scheduling next year. I may only run 3.

Of course we were happy to show up and show or support for you guys.

Two days later and I'm still exhausted. What did y'all do to me?

Bourbon. And Marker's brandy. But damn....that was sooooo good.

I'm in the same boat. I'm hopin I'll have some energy tomorrow.

mumah wrote:Bourbon. And Marker's brandy. But damn....that was sooooo good.

Marker's crazy Eastern European plum brandy, that was quite a drink! The Bourbon was nice as well.

I actually found that brandy online, but the shipping costs more than the bottle itself.

I know, right? ugh. I'm totally worn out. Its like all the energy I had was put into one final fxplosion of awesome.

I don't know what's wrong with you guys, I'm fine. In fact, yesterday I left my cane in the bedroom, at least until after PT; I did have a bit of a scare though, when I put the leg press on 120lbs and couldn't budge it; Then I realized both sides were slaved together, so it was actually 190lbs...

Maybe if I walked around with a can all day I'd conserve some energy, too. And I'm sure you actually got some sleep....

Mike (Mumah),

either that was a poetic writing mistake or a beautiful pun

I would can that, too, if I could.

Jetlag is a witch.

Cheerful greetings,
Hendrik

Was that the Slivo he brought last time? If so, they carry it in most big liquor stores.

Not up off the edge of the map where I live. Here, it's a bit more difficult to find the good stuff.

Thanks to everyone that helped make this happen. I had a wonderful time. My only regret was that I didn't get to meet everyone, but at would be quite the feat. I'm sure I saw people that I "know" but didn't recognize because I was overwhelmed or having episodes of 'name-nesia' (I'm so bad with names).

Madman, I'm glad you're doing better every day. You're quite the trooper.

It was great to meet the people that I did, get the autographs I was able to obtain, play the games I participated in and just overall soak in the atmosphere. You all made it fun.

Thank you freelancers from the fans!

Oh yeah, I still don't think anyone would have missed Springfield MO if we had nuked it.

Hey, thanks to you guys for sticking it out to the wee hours. Maybe if you hadn't debated for 30-45 minutes whether or not to go deeper in... but then that's how I knew I was doing things right.

Oh, and just to note, you may have actually bought MY copy of Through the Glass Darkly. I thought I had borrowed one off the rack, so I put it up before we left the warehouse that night. But when I got back I realized I am now missing mine. Doh!

Anywho, I sincerely hope we'll get a chance in the near future to hang again, and I'll be happy to sign the NSG for ya then.

As far as Springfield, your characters lived there for chrissakes! Maybe you should have been playing the Spook Squad assassin.

I'm guessing it would look used, not new.

Jorel wrote:I'm guessing it would look used, not new.

Yeah, although I took pretty good care of it. I don't think it was one of them that had any marks in it. But if you bought it first thing next morning, Baphomet, chances are...

It's cool, though. Someone out there scored my reference copy and I'll just have Palladium send me a replacement copy next time I order something.

Well Spoken and said Everyone!

I enjoyed the Fans and the Freelancers and I think they are the best of both worlds!!! Here's to hoping we have more POH to enjoy in the future!
