Many of us make friends online through social web sites such as Facebook, MySpace, etc. How often do we every go beyond just chatting and emailing? Not too often because not everyone lives in the same neighborhood.
Yesterday – the digital highway became reality as we finally met two wonderful people that we had so much in common with. After 4 months of trying to hook up, it finally became reality when we met Sue from Entrecard and her husband Buck and son Jake. Sue is the owner, author and artist from soul-to-soul. And by the way the Bigfoot story was a hoax because he is a live and well living in Illinois (Jake). Jake is a 16 year old kid, but a gentle giant who has a passion for music like his parents. He is a very cool and mature kid that any parent would be proud of.
We sat outside all night telling stories, jamming to music and pounding down drinks. Buck is a music historian and that in it self made my day. I can count on one hand the people who I met in my life who can go toe to toe with me on music trivia, Buck does have me beat, but what a lot of fun this man is to know and hang out with.
Sue (Suzy) is a warm, fun loving lady who really made us feel like family. Sue is what every person should be like in this crazy world of ours. We are so thrilled to have made new friends and we look forward to many outings with Sue and Buck.
There’s one other person I didn’t want to forget. Rick who is a friend of Sue and Buck showed up later in the day. Rick is a cool guy who can make anyone laugh. Rick and I were pounding down shots towards the evening hours and laughing up a storm.
Sue and Buck thank you for making us feel like family! We look forward to hanging out again very soon!
What a wonderful tribute to a fun night Frank! It really was alot of fun –
Frank & his girl came over, knowing we had a lot in common, but one never knows what to expect in a face to face meeting. There is not a lot more I can add, but I must metnion his girl was a sweetie, Victoria and I hit it off instantly. We laughed and picked on Frank together, and he took it in stride, but Im sure he will get back at us!
Buck loves talking music, and it sure was fun to see him talk and laugh about something he enjoys!
Cheers!
Yes! It was so cool and Victoria and you will be close you gals were clicking well.
See you all soon!
Great story! You just can’t have too many friends!
Frank my man… your sentiments are spot on, you and veronica made it feel like we saw family members that we haven’t seen in awhile.
I really enjoyed that I met someone that could go toe to toe with music on, it’s not often I get to use that part of my brain.
Next time though.. bring your suit..the hot tub won’t bite you, but Veronica may!
I was jealous that your gal defined her alter ego, as my wife, has hidden hers in the closet.. I lost Rachels number.
Buck,
I really appreciate that. I will tell Veronica about the comment. Very cool time with very cool people!
