OK, my turn to wax poetic on the meetup:
Transpogue: What a great gal! She took the initiative to get the ball rolling, and made sure we all had each others' contact info before the meet started. From making dinner & brunch reservations to the itinerary, she made sure the wheels were well, um, lubed. Super-nice in person, too--although I must've been in the kitchen when she gave the dykedom 101 talk. 
Kevbo: I have to admit I had a little nervousness about meeting this wild & crazy young guy from the Internet. What a funny guy he is in person! He's probably the only person who could get me to do karaoke. My only regret is that our schedules clashed to the point that he couldn't make the day I did, and I couldn't make the evening he did. 
Swerve: Wow, what can I say? Can you imagine a nicer guy? I can't. He's from Georgia, but has a heart the size of Texas. I will never again serve him soup with mushy bread in it, however.
Omminc: Here's a guy who got real interesting--once he let his hair down, literally and figuratively. Too bad I missed the night in his apartment.
NineOfClubs: What a card! (har har). Funny, political, kind, interesting--and we get to meet him again in a week, on his own territory. BONUS!! So easy to talk to and get to know. And he doesn't mind "interesting" photos of him being taken. I'm running out of adjectives...!
LilBit: "Give a lilbit, give a lilbit of your love to me..."--LRB. When you're with Lilbit, a meetup becomes a party! He kept us all in stitches (figuratively, anyway, although they could've been literal if anyone happened to be standing on the other side of the table as we closed the bar last night!). We missed Ophelia, but she was there in spirit. And he knows a damn lot about languages, and answered our rapidfire questions at Nepalese dinner last night. My life is richer for meeting him.
Thad1527: Imagine Google come to life, with a great personality. He knows everything about everything. He was teaching me stuff about Minneapolis and the Twin Cities that I didn't even know--quoting it verbatim out of the guidebooks, which he had memorized. If you ever need someone to take a standardized test for you, he's the man you need to pay. So generous with his time, information, and goodies--he brought lots of Transylvania goodies with him, which I distributed on the last night (I was a little overwhelmed the night of the dinner).
FrankFrank: This is the third time I met FrankFrank, and it just gets better each time! The King of Puns, he is my hero (I love puns!). I pretend to groan at his puns, but deep down inside I'm delighted, as a closet punster myself. So generous with his smoked salmon (which, again, in my dinner haze, I forgot to put out). (Did I just say "I forgot to put out"?!). A kind and gentle soul, FrankFrank will also teach you everything you never knew about music.
And, last but not least, there's...
ChickenGuy: I was a lilbit nervous about this wild card (I told you I was a closet punster.) Here's a guy who only recently came out, and he was traveling from a foreign country, to boot. We had to show him a good time because of the great expense and time he went through to get here. On top of that, were we going to freak him out by being relaxed, out gay men? Would newly out guys never want to go to a JUB meet again? Well, needless to say, it was so special meeting him. Judging by his post above, I think he had a spectacularly good time. I know for a fact that I did! He, too, needed a little prodding to come out of his shell, but by the last night he was showing us photos and giving us a history of his hometown, we were comparing Irish Gaelic with Scots Gaelic, and he was teaching me/us which performer was doing each song we heard at the bar (I'm such an old fart when it comes to recent pop music). He's a clever, funny, warm-hearted guy, who I will definitely visit the next time I go to Ireland--he's not that far away. I threatened to show up in platform shoes, a rainbow t-shirt, and a pink feather boa, but I thought better of it. I hope to be an inspiration to him, in that it doesn't matter if you're 18 or 30 or 40 or 80 when you come out--the fact that you've finally done it is all that matters, and it makes no sense to worry about "what could have been" if you came out earlier. That's over with, and today and tomorrow are the days you get to enjoy as an out gay man. Live it up!
Everyone: We closed the bar last night and had a rainbow-gay hugfest in the street! We all had really bonded over this time we had together, and I was so happy that I could contribute to the wonderful weekend. It's rare to get to know people so well so quickly, and get the warm fuzzies to boot. It wasn't an ordinary hug; it was extra-fabulous!!!
My husbear just went off to work, and he sends his best wishes to everyone, too.
We started out with unseasonably cold and crummy weather, but ended on a bright & sunny day that was reflected in our hearts as we parted ways.
Much like the JUB meet in Vegas, this is one weekend I will never forget! Hugs and kisses to all!

I'm STEALING this photo from Lube's gallery and posting it HERE...
Because I LIKED it so much...
It captures the ESSENCE of BOTH of them...

Myself (NineOfClubs), LilBit and Omminc.
This is a great photo taken by Lube the night of the fabulous dinner he hosted.

Just a quick note to all you JUB-apolis guys. You know who you are. 
I made it home safely--the only eventful aspect of the trip was the one hour delay.
My thoughts are still with all you and, for those who flew out today, I hope your journeys were safe ones.
Mental group hug...

swerve, you left out Saint Sabastian.
I'm certain that LilBit noticed the titties on that martyred one.

The bit(ch) is back!
Okay, now that I'm home and conscious, I suppose it's time for my reminiscences and thanks...
First, to our lovely hosts:
Transpogue: Thank you so much for the effort that you put into this meet in spite of your hectic schedule of work and moving. I've been wanting to meet you almost since I arrived here, and you're even more beautiful and charming in person than online. You were one of the main reasons why I decided to come to this meet, and it truly was worth it. You also have lovely tits.
Kevbo: You certainly managed to live up to my expectations. You're a really fun guy, and it was an absolute riot hanging out with you. You and your bf are adorable together, and I wish you all the best. Oh, and don't worry about Odin's glass--I officially hold the record for most glassware broken at a JUB meet. Oh, and you both have great tits.
Lube and Mr. Lube: A beautiful house, a delicious meal, and charming company--you two really do know how to host a dinner party. I also appreciate you showing us around the city; the parks and the lakes were truly stunning, and the ice cream was delightful. I just hope you're still allowed at the bar--I never managed to get Arthur's number, and I was hoping you could get it for me. BTW, nice tits.
Frankfrank: Once again, it was lovely sharing the trip with you. I've never met anyone with such an encyclopedic knowledge of the US nor anyone with such a finely-tuned internal compass. I do, however, still want to pun-t you off the roof of the hotel for some of your wordplay. But I'll forgive you because you've got a great rack.
Chickenguy: I'm so glad that you made the trip from Scotland. It was a real treat meeting you. You're a charming guy, and you have such a great sense of humor. I hope you're enjoying the rest of the trip, and I really hope you can get over to this part of the world again. I'd definitely love to see those gorgeous tits again.
Thad8675309: (Sorry, I'm terrible with numbers) Another JUBber with an encyclopedic memory--I'm really stunned by how much information you've managed to store under your massive collection of baseball caps. You have an infectious sense of humor, and I definitely hope our paths cross again many times. Oh, and nice tits.
Swerve: I'm glad you were able to set aside some time in Minneapolis before jetting back off to work. You really are as sweet and friendly in person as I suspected, and it was a treat to meet you. I wouldn't recommend a recording contract for you, but you're a fantastic guy nonetheless. And although I didn't get to see them, I'm sure your tits are as lovely as the rest of you.
omminc: *meow* You truly are a colorful character, and I think we all appreciated your generosity in inviting us to your place on Saturday evening. I wouldn't trust you with my goldfish, but it was great to meet you (and your lovely tits).
NineofClubs: I'm really thrilled that you were able to make it to the meet, and I really enjoyed all of the great conversations we had. You really are a witty gentleman, and it was a treat to meet you. Thanks for introducing me to good gin, even if it did result in the loss of some of the bar's glassware. And your tits are truly a sight to behold.
WaGWaG: We only got to meet briefly, but I'm glad you were able to stop by. I look forward to getting to know you better on JUB, and I hope you can make it to another meet so that I can see your tits.
And Arthur... Oh, Arthur. You cruel man. How DARE you walk into my life and then casually wander off with my heart in your hands? There is an Arthur-shaped hole in my life, and nothing will ever be able to fill it (with the possible exception of gin...) And I never even got to see your tits... *sigh*
Thanks to everyone for making this such a fantastic meet. I look forward to the next one.
And I'll post pictures once I find the cable to my camera. (No, it's not in the hotel room with my battery charger. It's somewhere on my desk under a pile of papers.)

I've already been told, "You haven't posted yet!" Sorry. I'm quite tech-challenged.
Anyway, I'm home. And much the better for this trip.
The JUB meet was the centerpiece of my trip, but I did arrive early (Wednesday) and left late (the next Wednesday). Before meeting everyone, I went to a Twins baseball game at sparkling-new Target Field. The weather wasn't great: the drizzle started in the 2nd inning and continued all game. But I did see Kirby the kestrel.

Omminc and I spent Tuesday lunchtime at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. I loved going to the art museum with an opinionated art student. We saw the featured exhibit, "Until Now" there. I was willing to pay for him, but since he's a full-time student he got in free.
Reading this thread, I was constantly thinking, "What they said!"
I love to travel. I'd planned this for quite a while. But being with such great folks made it all the sweeter.

Still haven't had time for the long post I wanna make - I'm in Regina, Canada right now & am limited to library time on the computer.
ChickenGuy, you'll note I happened to find a library that lets me on to JUB. Of course you'll be back in Scotland in two days, so it doesn't matter much now.
Such a great time!! More to come, when I can.
