I'm not sure if I'm doing this right or not. I'm a baby-boomer, not a computer kid. Anyway, I made it to Keene and am staying at the Super 8 (room 226). The best way to contact me is through the hotel or on my cell (434) 665-4207. I don't have a laptop and am fumbling around on the computer at the library right now. Hope to hear from a Porcupine real soon! - Gary Thomas
Welcome to town. You might want to see if anyone wants to grab a bite to eat somewhere… I'm sure some people would show up to meet you. I would, but I'm off to work for a few days.
I just got off the phone with him and am gonna meet him to (since I ain't got nothing else) load off some leftover soup on him.
I don't think anyone has ever been alone for a meal after introducing themselves on here. Thats great!

I can think of a few people who made announcement of their intent to visit and got no response.

Really? That's a surprise. Who?
I called Gary shortly after his post and suggested he check the calendar, come out to Social Sundays, and that if he wants to meet people sooner to pick a place he'd like to go and announce when and where here on the forum.
Welcome, Gary.

Well I posted looking for a couch to surf a few months ago, but didn't get a response to that post for over a month. Not an issue now as I should be in the liberty bunker by this weekend.

I'm surprised no one got back to you on the couch surfing.
It could have been that the couches were occupied. Who has posted they were visiting and wanted to meet and were unable to meet people, Kevin?
Oh, you're being specific to posts? I've met several who have left Porc411 calls (myself included) who got no reply when they were visiting Keene. But if you're referring specifically to posts, then I might not be able to disagree.
Well, I now have a short couch, sleeping bag, and other such accoutrements, if you should find those preferable. PM me, and I'll see what I can do for you.
Some of us are meeting up at Pedraza's Mexican Restaurant for dinner at 6 pm. All are encouraged to come. Hopefully Gary and another out of state visitor will be there.

Yeah, he will be there along with other folks. Hopefully you will join us.
Gary, I was surprised you didn't make it to Social Sundays this week. You still in town?

Oh sorry. He left. It turns out, he had a family issue down south that he had to return for. He called me and told me he is planning on returning to Keene with his son at some point to get another look around. I think that's what he said.

I hope everything is alright. I wish him my best with the family issue.
