2028: Seahawks.NET's 30 Year Anniversary!

[AROS]

It just dawned on me today. 4 years from now it will be the 30th Anniversary of .NET. I am quite sure there are no other fan forums on the InterWebs that could make that claim. Assuming we are spared an asteroid event, I don't see why we can't reach that incredible milestone.

I'm thinking we should plan some kind of cool event. I don't have a clue what that could be at the moment but we have 4 years to plan it. Vegas would be fun. It would be an astounding hoot to meet many regular members of .NET I haven't met in person, and reunite with Alumni members again...If we aren't 6 feet under, LOL!

Gallows humor aside, what a remarkable thing that would be. Even the reprobates and knuckleheads would be free to attend as long as they didn't bring weapons. (tee hee)

On a serious note, I've had the pleasure of meeting many .NET members, became friends with several, including the ones you might put in that "reprobates and knuckleheads" category. Often, I have discovered, most people who come off that way online are either misunderstood or simply not the same person in public that they are online.

So this doesn't need to be a stickied thread or anything. I thought I would just get the collective juices flowing on the idea of a 30th Anniversary and what on earth that might look like from a logistic, practical perspective that could favor the majority interested in attending?

I would think there needs to be Alcohol, Booze, Festive Drink, Beer, Wine, maybe some Hard Lemonade and food to go with that. Throw in some Music also. Location well that's the hard part, tradition would be in my mind at Les's bless his soul for the Cheney Kick off, that's no longer feasible, Temple Billiards where ya all got together in the early years but not sure that fits like it used to and you may want more casual. Bar B que and memories is kinda my thinking on stuff like this. Celebration of getting 30 years from an idea, remembering many of the past and long time posters and those not with us anymore, Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks.

IIRC, I initailly discovered this site early in 2004, but the couldn't find it again. I was frantic for about a week, before I rediscovered it. I have prolbably spent a good portion of my life on here, and although I have yet to meet anyone in person, I've conversed with them via phone, text, snail mail, and what have you.

It was a good thing I found this site when I did, because it made the debacle of XL survivable. I'll never forget Todd's story "The 5 Stages of Grief," as it referred to that game, and how that brought us together as a community.

I had to look up the original 5 stages:

What To Know About the 5 Stages of Grief After a Loss

Grief is never easy, be it the loss of a loved one or a relationship or even a job or opportunity. But understanding grief and its stages might help you and those who support you find a way through.

I’ve been here long enough to buy a “Got Galloway” T-shirt from this site.

Calm down there! Not only does alcohol mess with your brain, but your mind and your head as well.

 

[Hawkstorian]

Just tell me when and where.

 

[GemCity]

Let’s meet at our 2nd consecutive SuperBowl run!!

I’m down.

Hmmm most of us old timers went thru the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's, it way past too late.

I would definitely try to make something work!

 

[GemCity]

I’m in Dayton, OH…but this would be a trip I’d make.

This is actually a really good idea, if I'm still vertical I'll be there.

I’m usually horizontal (i.e., lying on my fat ass) but, I might need to hitch a ride Aircrew

How about .NET attending a Seahawks game?

I'm in South America, but I can imagine planning and making the trip in four years.

I'll be close to retirement in 4 years, plans to move to Colorado. I think it would be great to get together, especially now that I will probably have more free time and no longer reporting to any bosses , well, except to the wife..but sounds like something to look forward to..can't wait!

 

[AROS]

A game would be great...The prefunk/tailgating, game and postfunk...

 

[nanomoz]

I'm in like Taco Wallace.

 

[Jimmy]

I have been around since before .NET (Jcrew2 back in those days) I just lurk now but still come here every day and catch up. 30 years is incredible, I would be intrested in joining in something.

Does this include John63?....I'd REALLY like to meet him......lol

I agree with some...Along with the 30th anniversary, I think it would also be appropriate to have some kind of tribute to Les, being one the best highlights of what made this site as great as it is, aside from you Todd that is and perhaps also to those other 12's we have lost over the many seasons. Just a thought!
