Steve - You did a kick-ass job of putting this event together, thanks for everything, including the traveling dive shop, I would have been stuck topside without you.
I had a great time and met some more new faces for the first time. So, yes name tags are a great idea. There were at least 20 of us there this weekend, and between real names and screen names, it gets a little challenging when you only have two days to figure it all out. I believe we may have even picked up a new member or two, as well as getting our group mentioned in some publication (who was that reporter guy with again?).
Chris, please sign on and post an intro so everyone can welcome you. Hope to see you at many more future SD events. Betty, it was great meeting you, thanks for coming out to dive with us. John and Tom, next time, no partying before any SD events, get lots of sleep so you can hang with us through Saturday night, K? Travis (DeepDiverStud), sorry you got back too late to join us Saturday, you definitely fit right in with this crowd.
Tina, you rock! Now I see why they are having so much fun at those Dallas Happy Hours.
The other Travis (leaudaustin), thanks for the above ground navigation assistance, and hope to be diving and partying with you again real soon. Glen, as always, you are so much fun to hang out with, I'll share my shower with you anytime.
Scubachuck, you are one of a kind, hope school doesn't keep you away from the Houston Happy Hours, it wouldn't be the same without you. Platypusman, you always keep us laughing, wish you could have stayed longer. Sydney, thanks for being our Designated Driver, you made it possible for us to pull out all the stops, and we took full advantage of the opportunity, while following your only rule "not in my car"
Julio, thanks for being such a great dive leader, and showing us around with the less than favorable visability, and as always, you are great fun to party with. Victoria, I hope you enjoyed your first Singledivers event, and I look forward to diving and partying with you again. Kevin and Steve, you two were an absolute blast all weekend long. Kevin, I don't think I have ever had such a smooth dance partner! Stingray, I'm glad you finally got that first dive in since your surgery, we missed you at Carlos and Charlies, see you at the next HH. Neil and Barry, it was great meeting you two and diving with you. To all of those who I am forgetting, thanks for coming out and making this weekend so much fun. Let's do it again soon!
Oh yeah, pros and cons of this trip. I'll think about it and get back to you.
