The first Massachusetts Monthly Meet-up was a great success! Thank you very much to AeroLynda for organizing it and being so enthusiastic and making me excited to go. Great talks were shared and I met 3 new friends! Boy it's nice being able to talk about this stuff in person.

We plan on doing this once a month, and if there is anyone that we are unaware of in Massachusetts that wants to come please don't hesitate to contact myself or Lynda. It truly was a wonderful night!

Thank you Adam for making this post!

If there are Massholes out there that want to meet with us, contact me or Adam and we will give you the details. We are trying for a regular schedule, the second Wednesday of every month. May 11th is already scheduled, and the next one will be June 8th.

Hopefully that works for everyone!

Hello Massholes and TOE heads!

Come join us this Wednesday night for our second monthly MBT Meetup in Mass.

If you can't make this one, the next one is scheduled for June 8th.

PM me or Ahash31 if you want the details, hope to see you then!

Edit: 05-09-11@2:15PM - Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow night! I will try to be there early.

Edit: Somehow I think I messed up the date when I made that last edit but thankfully now that I've made another post, the system will timestamp this edit for me.

Hello everyone,

Thanks to those of you who came out tonight, I thought it was a great MBT Meetup. I passed out TOE hats and t-shirts for everyone and Adam brought us all CDs of some awesome music to listen to. Next month, Corey plans to bring us a "Healing" video, I came in late on the conversation but I think the guy in the video's name is Adam as well.

We discussed the index a little bit, and got some good suggestions for words that need to be added such as vector - vector sum, vector state, possibly on pp 679 and 704 but we will need to research it. We talked about movies like What the %&* Do we Know and the Secret.

There is an IANDS meetup in Needham, a town not far from some of us, June 11th that some of us plan to attend. A couple of us also may forage for mushrooms again this weekend like we did last weekend. It is really great to have other TOEheads nearby and I am so happy to have made new great like-minded friends!

William Buhlman was a topic of discussion this month as well as last. I found out Corey had been at the Toronto workshop, and we discussed the audios of the NC Get-Together a bit.

We opened up a little bit about personal stuff to each other, and talked a teensy bit about things that happened in our past, a long time ago.

Our June Meetup, tentatively scheduled for June 8th (second Wednesday of every month was our original plan), may be moved both in date AND location, to accommodate a guest appearance by Emmanuel, efcc83, who will be in town the following week for a convention. We are thinking about Brookline instead of Natick, and possibly the 13th, 14th or 15th instead of June 8th, but we also discussed the possibility of a Saturday and still have time to figure all that out.

I also brought up the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the National Level Exercise that is planned there for next week (5/16-5/21), not to monger fear, but because I strongly believe it is worth educating ourselves on.

That's pretty much all I can remember for now, looking forward to the next one!

Love,
Lynda

LOL at the timestamp on my edit above! "Last edited by AeroLynda123 on Thu May 12, 2011 12:11 am"

Hello everyone in Massachusetts and nearby states...

I am pleased to let you know we are trying to put together a Boston appearance by Tom hopefully the first weekend in December. I have already posted this on Facebook and I am hoping Tom already has been informed, it would be a heck of a way to find out about it, reading it on my Facebook wall.

If anyone is interested in attending a one-day workshop in the Boston area and meeting Tom in person (feeling his energy might be a better way of saying it, I've not felt anything quite like being in Tom's presence and crave more of this feeling any way I can get it) please PM me or make a post right here. The more people who are interested in attending this workshop, the better chance we have of putting it together/pulling it off.

Please also let me know if you:
1.) Need help with transportation or accommodations
2.) Need ideas of where to stay in Mass or where to eat
3.) Would be willing to pay $150, $100, $75 or $50 at the most for your ticket to the event
4.) Care to help administer - I am always in need of assistance

Thanks!
Lynda

Very exciting,
I am definitely interested. I thought I might have to wait till next spring to meet the MAN, the Myth, the Metaphor. lol :-)

On a separate but related note, we are tossing around the idea of a joint appearance with William Buhlman possibly in Maryland but the plans for that one are even more nebulous than the aforementioned Boston workshop.

Naturally Donna, Keith, Corey and I will keep everyone posted as things firm up a bit.

Neato. :)
Love
Bette

Thanks to everyone from NY and NJ who confirmed they would like to come to Boston for this event. We are up to ten people as of this evening, still plenty of room for more! Isn't there anyone from CT, RI, NH, VT or ME on this freaking board? Come out of the woodwork New Englanders, and make your voices heard! No time like the present :)
Love,
Lynda

Please, tell us how you really feel. :O

LOL Chron you can come too if you want.

Nothing feels better than being in Tom Campbell's energy. I've only felt it twice but now I have plans to feel it again THREE MORE TIMES in the next 10 months (Atlanta, Forum #2 and then BOSTON in APRIL!)

Sorry to those of you who already started planning your trips - K&D let me know April works better for Tom and Pamela than December would have, so I guess my pretty city gets Tom as an Easter gift instead of for Christmas.

It's all the same to me anyway. I've been wanting this since New York thirteen and a half months ago, what's another five months to wait? It's delicious anticipation!

Atlanta, huh?

Never been to Hot-lanta, lol, maybe its time...

I did have a thought that it might be better to do boston in the spring or summer, and december would is a great time to head south.

Great minds think alike Patrick :)

MBT Events is the best place to confirm Tom's schedule, but as far as I know, Atlanta will be in December (they are going to Southern Spain the first week in November) and Boston some time in April. Based upon previous conversations, I am assuming Forum Members Get-Together #2 will be in Charlotte again (Matthews to be precise) probably at the end of March again, but I haven't gotten any confirmation, it's all just speculation.

Actually I am just going to shut up about all of this for now, as it is Keith and Donna's limelight and I don't want to steal it from them.

Last night's Meetup was tons of fun! Thanks to all who turned out for the event, we had our record number of attendees! Thanks to our host and hostess and thanks to the designated driver, I couldn't have made it (home) without you!

Next one is set for Wednesday July 6th, if you don't have the details and would like to attend, please PM me or Adam and we will get you added to the list.

Love,
Lynda

July Mass monthly meet up rocked!!!! Anyone who wants to come to August we will be scheduling it soon enough (Lynda might have the date picked out already.) I look forward every month to going!!! Lots of entropy lowering!

Also let us know if you will be coming into Massachusetts on vacation or traveling, and I'm sure we can reschedule and readjust in order to make sure you make the meet up!

We're looking at Thursday, August 11th for the next one but yes, if you are coming to the area and would like to participate, just let us know what works best for you and we will see what we can do about rescheduling. We were fortunate to have a special European guest, efcc83 (Emmanuel) for the past two months and it definitely keeps things interesting to add new energies to the group dynamic.
