Lots of Nomads at Book Signing Event

Bob H - 5-5-2007 at 07:58 PM

There were a whole lot of people at the Pyramid Book Signing event today, many-many Nomads included. I met a whole bunch of them today, some I already knew and many I had never met before. It was great. The weather was fantastic and everyone was having such a good time. Everywhere I looked people had big smiles on their faces. Didn't stick around for the pot luck, but would like to know how that went and how the tequila tasting went. David K was taking lots of photos so I'm sure he will be sharing many images taken throughout the day.
Keri does a fantastic job of hosting this annual event. My hat is off to her!:yes:

Bob, it was a pleasure to meet you. We opted for dinner at the Half Way House. As you say, it was a great day and kudos to Keri.

Geez, what hapened to not flaming other Nomads that you don't even know. It is very iteresting that during a long and pleasant conversation with Bernie yesterday, we each confided that we were very reluctant to post negative comments on this forum. Obviously there are some that thrive on negativity. Too bad. Get a life!!

Keri is fantastic. It was great to meet Nomads i did'nt know and to see the ones I know again. I now know the 2 felines, elgatoloco y bajacat ;D
We all had a lot of fun, the kids played a lot, the food was great, Mrs FDT loved the chocolate fountain from Antonio and Lorenia.
The tequila tasting was fun even if my tequila (4Vientos) was voted worst :(

Bob H - 5-6-2007 at 12:54 PM

Yes, it is always nice to meet new Nomads and then you can put a face and a real personality together! Looking forward to seeing some of David K's photos.

Hey, for those who did not make it... at one point they bar ran out of booze! Can you imagine that? But, Keri swung into action and they were back to normal in a jiffy!

At least with the second worse tequila, I was in good company! (Cien Aņos Blanco)

Favorite quote of the day "he was one taco short of an enchilada)" (and that was before Ferna started drinking Tequila!...I can't remember the "he" in question)

You will have to wait for Georock to arrive in Bahia to post the results, but a good time was had by all. Doug - Baja Nomad, took lots of pictures. Here is one before it got crazy. Note there were 12 Tequilas in play...

Thanks, Keri for a great party...as usual!

It was a great event! Big thanks to Kari for putting this together. There was definitely a lot more people there this year which was nice to see. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with Bajacat and FDT and seeing David K and BajaAngel again. It was a perfect afternoon too....the view from the Pyramid is always amazing. I'll post some photos as soon as my camera battery is recharged....

GREATEST BOOKSIGNING YET!!!

David K - 5-6-2007 at 11:25 PM

Perfect weather and a great job by Keri!

Really great meeting new Nomads friends and seeing the old ones, too!

Sorry if I didn't get a chance to visit more, but the bar tickets and raffle tickets were selling like crazy!

I want to give special thanks to Baja Angel (Elizabeth) for working so hard and keeping the ball rolling. I get distracted too easily trying to talk to Nomads, taking photos, and then trying to remember names!!! LOL

Bob H came and sat with us and added his happy Nomad face to the table Keri had us stationed at... Thanks Bob... We missed saying goodbye, sorry amigo!

BajaRob and Connie of Bahia Santa Maria helped us and relieved us in the later part of the day so Elizabeth and I could walk around to event and visit and take photos. Rob and Connie sold many bar tickets, the bar temporarily went dry!... Great Job!!!

FishBuck, BajaFun777, BajaCat, bajabound2005, Bajaguy, Bajaeng (engineer) are some of the new Nomads I met. Graham, elgatoloco, Bob H, Dave, GeoRock, Ferna de Tijuana, BajaCactus, are just a few of the Nomad amigos I already knew who were there.

I have MANY photos... I will post in another thread to keep this one open for comments of the people who were there or who would like to comment on the event.

Good job Keri!!! (Here's one photo of Keri and her daughter 'Allie')

I thought this was a book signing :?:, not a tequilla drinking party! :o Only in Baja. :lol:

David K - 5-7-2007 at 08:27 AM

Book Signing, Wine Tasting, Pot Luck Dinner, Tequila Tasting...

Nice photos Doug... Ryland has a young fan in Ferna's daughter... Neat photos at sunset!

That chocolate fountain that BajaCactus brought was sure cool!

fdt - 5-7-2007 at 10:35 AM

This guy was there for the Cookie tasting :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Bajafun777 - 5-7-2007 at 05:24 PM

The potluck was great as everyone participated and brought sometime which was great. The pictures show that there was more than enough for everyone that came. Now if only more come the choices would increase even more and then everyone that participates can get stuffed, full of tequila, dessert, and enough stories to write a books like BajaBernie did. Til next year--------------------bajafun777

Ok...this picture is too funny...first...I have no idea why I'm giving the guy next to me that suspicious look...mostly likely that was aimed at Ferna on the other side of him! Then, my mom is holding her own with a big cup of wine....My step-dad, Clem (83 yrs. old next week) had been drinking beer all day...he's out for the count...and that shadowy figure over my other shoulder is Baja Angel trying to get as far away from the Tequila fumes as possible.

David K - 5-8-2007 at 08:36 PM

Yes, I am very lucky that she would even be in there... smells can be powerful! I almost left when that lady walked in and lit a cigarette right next to all of us at the table... with very flammable liquid fumes all around. Plus none of us were smoking.

When she came back in a second time, Keri ran her out... THANKS!

Bajafun777 - 5-8-2007 at 09:52 PM

Ok Jeans, you were probably looking surprised that you caught back up, as when you started taking your tequila shots you were about two shots behind the group!! You did keep an eye on Fernie, aka fdt, as right about this time of the photo he was lining up all of the over counts of tequila. Fernie was busy as he then took these shots straight to his a safe tequila holder----his stomach. Fernie is definately a need to meet Nomad, as when he gets going making light of things it gets interesting. Later, bajafun777

BUMP for 2008:

Some great photos taken by Baja Nomad at last year's (2007) book signing!
