Phooie... Just another reason why living out in the middle of nowhere Nebraska stinks. I will have my own tortoise party, and Carl and I will eat strawberries and dandelions while imagining how much fun y'all are having.

Nowhere Nebraska, what a silly person you are! Nebraska is in the middle of everything!
Actually, if you could twist Mark's (Madkin) arm and get him to come, we could meet up the three of us. I am not too enthusiastic about eating dandelions, but they do make a great wine.
Josh said:This August marks 5 years of TFO and every year I try to organize a picnic or BBQ in Southern California to celebrate. Last year was a bit of a flop (mostly my fault) but this year is a good milestone. 5 awesome years of this great community! This is most definitely cause for celebration!
So, with the goal being to attract as many members as possible to our 5 year anniversary party - what, and where, and when shall we do it?!
Some limitations - Southern California (S of Santa Barbara?) and sometime in late August or September. Other than that, I'm pretty open to whatever will encourage the most members to show up and meet each other - take photos - etc.

I was born in Tehran but moved to DC when I was very young. Glad to see people in Iran are on TFO. My mother had a huge tortoise in Semnan growing up. You are now the second person from Iran I have met through TFO

That's enough people to make a party, huh? Shall we get together at my house, or do you want to get together at a local park or restaurant? I'll send each on of these folks a PM inviting them to the 5 year reunion here in Fresno. I hope we can make it work this year.
