This was a historic event. Jan (General Failure) was traveling through Fresno while on vacation in the US with his family. He was nice enough to make some time for us to meet and have lunch. Here is a photo of that day a week or so back.



It was great meeting him! We gabbed non-stop and even worked in 5 minutes for politics. #:-)

Although he did order a Budweiser! Bad Jan! hehe

I have added a new gallery beneath what was the Rouge's Gallery (now just called Member Photos). This new gallery is called Member Meetings and I hope we can fill it up with similar fun photos.

Thanks for a nice lunch Jan! Sorry about the rain in DC!

Cheers,
Jim

Well "Boy Howdy!"

So our good member General Failure meets the 'Big Guy' huh?........well I must say, that is great news. Maybe one of these days I'll get to meet the 'guy behind the curtain' Jan!
{this to Jan...Is Jim really part cybernetic being, like the rumours are saying? I was kinda curious because he must never sleep, because he does sooooooo much here on site....O.K., back to normal post}
Glad you had a tete'a tete, sounds like fun.

And the 'Members Meeting' gallery is a nice addition Jim. Wish we'd had that back several moths ago when I met up with General 'Zod.....could 'a stuck a pic or two of the 'Zodster in the Gallery!

Hey...
that's where I left my balloons !

Well, guys, I really DID meet the Big Guy in sunny California earlier this month. Since I signed a confidentiality clause, I can't comment on any of your assumptions about cybernetics. But it WAS a nice lunch and making a stop in the Fresno area to meet with Jim most certainly made up for all the rain we had that week.

Our next meeting is scheduled in Antwerp, Belgium. (You *do* remember agreeing on that, don't you, Jim ?!)

PS : these new emoticons look good !

Yeah....the JimMan is more than welcome over here. I hope to meet "our chief" too someday. (noooooo not you Jan...we already met )

Well, since I'll meet Robert and Juul again next week, I guess I'd better start making pictures for the Gallery
