Hi There!

[Luveday]

Just wanted to take a moment to say Hi as a new member!  I'm in the Ypsi/A2 area, active in the steampunk community (I host the Ypsi gatherings), work as a professional cook, with a start time of 5:30 am, which means I don't get out a lot at night, lol.  Happy to be here, thanks for letting me join you.

Greetings. Welcome to the group.

[NocteSpiritus]

Welcome, welcome. Used to work out that way for like two years (had plans that fell through) before finding a place closer to home.

hi and welcomed to the group

[Luveday]

Thanks for the warm welcome all!  Hopefully I can make one of the Thursday gatherings, only problem is that I have to get up for work at 4 am, and I just can't survive on little sleep like I used to, lol!

Hi @Luveday glad to have you.    

I lived in A2 for many years (went to U of M) miss the area.  We used to have a TON of people from the Ypsi/A2 area on here but not as much lately.  I think we have like 5 car-less people from out there that I (thought) at least one would have a car to come to our weekly get-togethers but I couldn't scrounge one up and its too far away for me to drive there and back.  

Yes, around here anyway apparently cats count.  I was told this several years ago and since then I say things like "do you have children? Then the furry kind?  I think every single person active on the board right now except Draco and Nitewolf have cats.  (they might too I just am unaware) lol

Old GF of mine was SUPER active in SCA and still is.  I like the idea of it I'm just always so damn busy with 900000 other interests (or them dang 'life responsibilities" pesky things.)

What kind of stuff do you read? Just curious. 

Best wishes and hope to see you on the board often.
