What: Old Timer's Gathering
When: August 14th (Second Saturday of Every Month)
Where: Gemnii Park

Greetings all,

So there I was, playing Sea Hawk, and I saw Ascendant was up as was Moggie (playing Gamer's Widow). Big A told me he was in Galaxy at a gathering that was being thrown by one of Virtue's Supergroups.

So I bound over there and start chatting with him, in charactaer and out, getting caught up on "stuff" (I love that word, don't you? It can include so many things). Next thing you know, Gamer's Widow is involved in the chat as well.

Two other young heroes join us, listening to us "oldsters" rehashing old times, and one of us (I think it was GW) suggested we head over to Gemnii Park where it's quieter and we won't interfere with the party.

The two youngsters join us (Sorry, I'm really bad with names) and the conversation continues. There's always the "Do you remember when..." conversation, of course.

A number of other Old Timers join us; Cygnata playing her dragon, Darkfang, Ravenbane, Parzifal, Sister Colette, Lady Reiki, Sayterra, 'Sin, Kelp, Rowr, La Pucelle, Smersh, and a slew of others. There were a few missing and their presence was sorely missed. (Killer Whale! Kelenar! Ireland Love! Big Lou Seattle! Captain Valor! Plasma Stream! 3rd Rail!)

All we did was sit around and chat, remembering old times. Early on, one young hero stopped by and asked for help, which was gladly rendered. We managed to give a good showing of ourselves.

What's the point of this, you ask? During all this, it was suggested that we meet the 2nd Saturday of each month, hang out, relax and renew old acquaintances. And if a young hero needs help, we help'em.

So.....August 14th is the 2nd Saturday for August and I send out the call to ALL heroes to come join us in Gemnii Park from 6:00pm Pacific Time til whenever we decide to break up!

Make sure to bring snacks.

Who knows, perhaps this will even revive Gemini Park?

I dunno, thats still not old enough to remember when Super Heroes had no capes and the level cap was 40!

I remember back when City of Heroes actually had players.

And it just wouldn't be the same without Fleas Ex Wife from another dimension... twice removed.

Whoever explained the theory of alternate dimensions, time travel and alternate continuities to Lizzie still needs to be shot.

I blame Ouroboros.

Huh, interesting. I kinda feel bad for missing it. I'll try to make the next get-together. Not that anybody from back then ever remembered me. <.<

No worries Larina; it was completely off-the-cuff and totally unplanned.

I think we need to lock Ely and Evil Flea into a box and let them have at it. :-)

I'll try to be around this Saturday. But only because you said Kel was sorely missed instead of a likely more accurate description ("The issue of elf-shaped pinatas was raised and agreed to be a good idea.")


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I've had this on my calendar for weeks, now, but have a wedding to attend. Have a good time, folks.

Moggie: No older than I am!

Kel: Said elf-shade pinatas would undoubtedly would include a live elf. *grins evilly* Be glad I didn't think of it.

I'm older than just about all of you. But it seems I wasn't missed. :P

Also, it's been so long, I'm not sure what character I brought there... does anyone remember? >.>
