Vegas Baby!!!

[Lube]

Well I've arisen from my napsy wapsy.

 

[Yooper]

Please continue the updates.

It is kind of like being there, sort of, a little, kind of, if one is into..........

Oh, f***, nevermind.

It sucks not being there but the updates are enjoyable.

 

[NineOfClubs]

FrankFrank and I were watching YouTube videos about "Women bad drivers" and "Mumbai traffic" and almost literally ROTFLMAO. Too funny.

I added 10 pictures of Vegas to my gallery.

Oh, oh. Thanks for the pics. Keep them coming!

 

[Yooper]

Hmm.

23 1/4 hours and no updates.

Is Vegas still standing?

 

[Lube]

None of the local JUBbers showed up, so -Noiro introduced us to his Facebook friend and his bf. More photos tomorrow.

 

[swerve]

Thanks LUBE for the photos!!!

I LOVE the one of the 4 of you standing in front of the "Four Queens" sign...

I look forward to your updates when you find the time...

It sounds like you guys are having a BLAST!!!

 

[Lube]

4. No locals. None. Nobody from within 1000 miles even.

Surprising.

But we are having a great time!

 

[alley]

Ok--

Where's the pics of the wild orgies, the drunken hook-ups, the sloshed strip teases---Sin City, People---get busy!!!

 

[Lube]

You'll have to ask -Noiro about last night.

As for me? Well, I've got a partner at home, so while I had orgies and sloshed strip teases, I can't post pictures, LOL.

 

[Lube]

Wow, that's the same number of Jubbers that meet every other weekend here in Atlanta.

That's all that counts. Still ease up on some of locals who can't or won't join in.

Well, when you have a partner at home who had major surgery (total knee replacement) a little over a week ago--and yet I still made it here--you'd probably wonder why someone who can find the time and money to go to the local gym and hit on a guy can't make it to the JUB meet for 5 minutes just to say hello.

 

[Red Storm]

4. No locals. None. Nobody from within 1000 miles even.

Surprising.

But we are having a great time!

I am still shocked that only 4 people showed up. As busy as I would be I would have stopped by and say hello. Hope you guys had a good time and please post more pics

I thought the point of these things was to have fun with fellow JUBbers, not lob the meet over other peoples' heads like a goddamn bat.

I wasn't able to make Pride last year for the second GA JUB Meet, and if they pulled what (some of) you guys are pulling, i certainly would never want to meet anyone coming from here again. I understand that i'm not as shy or disoriented as Epic and that his posts about meeting guys and freaking the fuck out are at best annoying, at worst headshake-worthy, but it's kinda funny(ironic? moronic?) that the gay guys he's supposed to want to get to know are giving him a harder time than he gives himself.

Ah well, i'm not going to pretend to care any further than that. Hope the guys that did attend had a blast - i know Orion did something to make you people laugh.

Bullshit.I'm not the most socially comfortable person in the world by any stretch,but I was glad to have made it.Moronic,ironic....WE who made the effort,stretched our budget enough to go to have a good time meeting other jubbers....and not only Epic Fail but cocktales could not bother to attend,or at the very least send word they would not be able to make it?And cocktales indicated several times to Noiro- he would make it...and WE'RE the bad guys in this?It's their loss they both epically failed to show consideration.

It's called common courtesy,and we aren't the ones negligent in its implimentation or in this case,lack of it.Noiro's left now....I'm pissed everything ended this way.I met with a great bunch of guys in him,Lube,frankfrank and there isn't asshat in any of them.I missed those guys after they left Las Vegas Sunday and when I passed the lounge area we would always meet at this morning before my brother and I checked out,I get a bit emotional that such a great weekend could go by so fast,meeting with nice,down to earth,fun guys like that and now it's but just a memory....and because of the truly confuzzling attitude of some jubbers a bitter taste is left in the mouths of those who made the effort and didn't cower or make excuses or did not even to bother to show any consideration.

I am really disappointed in the guys who didn't show up,or even give notice they couldn't....,but especially in Epic Fail's case,being less confident in social settings....just meeting us for lunch or something would have been a tremendous ice breaker.A way of moving forward...I wish he didn't allow his insecurity to cloud his judgment.I can at least understand his aopprehension,and I'm forgiving in his situation a lot more than cocktales,whom I expected better. If he did indeed promise several times to attend,he never did actually do so and call or text to inform he could not for whatever reason join us.I just don't expect that at all from someone who's been here on the boards someone I always admired and was really anticipating excitedly to meeting with.In Epic's case,just open up a little,trust yourself and other jubbers a little more....it can be scary yes,but I of all people pushed aside my fears and insecurities going to several meets in the past year,and it resulted in richly rewarding personal experiences.

Thanks again to Noiro-,Lube,and frankfrank.Despite everything,it was well worth the trip and I'll always be grateful to you guys for making me feel welcome and comfortable among friends.....my brother was very happy to have met you guys as well and had a great time being an honorary part of the gang.You're all the best!

 

[Sausy]

And yes,Noiro- definitely got us laughing on more than one occasion.He's so fun and is so endearingly likable it was so great to spend time with him this weekend.Everone would attest to that without hesitation!

I was and still am very disappointed with the no shows this weekend from the area guys,like I said especially how it played out.With no communication to be definitive.You can't make it.....okay,we're disappointed but it happens,for whatever reason.But don't leave us hanging.

On the other hand,it was too harsh on NineOfClub's end.I understand where he was coming from,and think a lot of him as a person and jubber and respect his frankness and candor but sometimes a scalpel would be much more conducive in a situation than a hammer.Epic I think was epically wrong basically because he really could have made strides in dealing with his insecurities by joining us,as I said just for lunch or something....which indeed Noiro- had broached to him.If he really wanted to come,he just hurt himself by falling back and hesitating.I have so many of the fears meeting people it seems he has,and I have a long way to go yet socially,but I only have helped myself by embracing these meets and the chance to meet some interesting,fun people.You have to start striving to overcome your fears and insecurities....I don't want Epic to wait as long as I have,to well after I turned 40 to gain the inner strength to start really living.To enjoy being with those who have in many ways been in my shoes,and feel welcome and happy to feel some real kind of community.He isn't doing it in real life as it were,this could have can be an opportunity for him to get the process of believing in himself going.

Cocktales,I don't know why he didn't show.I feel awful that all this contentiousness has left Noiro- to fling is hands in disgust and just chuck it all and leave.It just shouldn't have come to this....I understand where Niner came from but there was only "tough" and no "love" in his approach.And I don't get those who merely excuse Epic though he ertainly did not deserve any piling on.And the standard that Epic was expected to meet should have been applied,even more definitively so,to cocktales.Epic has to learn to know better,Cocktales by far should have known better.

Neither of them owed you guys anything. I remember posts saying they probably wouldn’t be there, so why should it have came as such a surprise? The way you’re acting now probably is not going to help EF get over it, but probably set him back. This is his outlet to socialize and these posts are probably taking that away from him.


As for NineofClubs, he was offensive all around. Just because a meet is local doesn’t mean people have to go. Its nice to know what he thinks about the board members though, even if he is trying to get out of it by saying he was drunk. As someone with mental problems that is the most offensive of all. Its funny he rags on bi guys for getting drunk and doing things, then blaming it on drinking. Here he is doing the same thing, but through a friend.

 

[gdude30]

Wow guys I've had such a good time so far! It's awesome.


Except for when we got back from our trip halfway down the strip, I was the only one to want to go out and do more. My dad, lube and frankfrank were all tired from their little walk and had to take a napsy-wapsy.

Meanwhile I went down to the casino floor, played a few penny slots to occupy my time and I flirted with this total bear who sat down next to me. His name is Stan and I reffered him to this site, so we might see a new JUBber.

EDIT: gdude, hands off, don't think those thoughts I know you're thinking about my dad.

LOL how the hell did you know that I'd actually read this thread about the meet. I've been reminiscing more on the Gay Days Meet recently. But I guess curiosity got the best of me >.>

Damn that's so not fair that this meet coincided with "Lucky Bears" thing. I so wanted to go and was even willing to leave at whatever time and even go to school and collapse but not even that was possible. School just cannot be missed especially now. I actually sorta did a small wedding cake tonight. So I suppose missing the meet wasn't a total waste.

I went to vegas when I was younger even though I was not even of legal age than it was fun. But I wouldn't have even been able to go into casinos. However brother's former master is in vegas and I was excited to meet him too.

Anyways it sounds like everyone had fun. I'm sure that sex did go on to but I know that's not the main purpose of JUB Meets. And like the last one the videos will never ever be posted

I really wanted to meet more Jubbers though. And I wanted to introduce everyone to my Sir and Brother.

Oh well. Maybe someday.

Oh and Matter of Splatter. Even though you did not go to Gay Pride Meet last year you did go to the first BBQ and that's when you were called princess. And you said how you had to go to some concert and probably wouldn't be able to go to pride. But you were there. So technically you were part of it. Even if it wasn't for long.

As for the posted pictures. Wow it looked like everyone had fun. The pictures were pretty funny and clever too. But you guys still can't beat disney land pictures

NineOfClubs definitely should not have posted as he did.Epic was apparently going back and forth about attending,I really wish he did and I think he would have been so much better off just meeting us for a bit and breaking the ice.Noiro- was in touch with both of them,and yes it's true Epic never definitely promised to show....but cocktales did to Noiro several times before Saturday afternoon and it just would have showed common courtesy to get back and definitively say they couldn't make it,for whatever reason.THAT's what they owed,nothing else.But whatever the reason,though I like NineOf Clubs a lot,having met him at St. Louis last year and finding him very gracious and warm, he put way too much of it on Epic and it wasn't fair to him.

I was just pissed,and still am finding it tough to swallow that the ensuing firestorm caused Noiro- to chuck it all and leave here,at least for now.He's a great guy,intelligent,open minded,endearing and so much fun.It's just sad a great weekend we all had got sidetracked here by the righteously indignant back and forth.

Quoted for truth.

We had a great time, and -Noiro's a very fun guy (cute, too!).

That is in return quoted for truth.So much walking,though!

So what did my brother and I do after you guys left Sunday?We walked from the Stratosphere to Caesar's Palace,and had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory at the Forum Shops.Such a hot waiter serving usMy brother had such a chuckle as I could barely keep my eyes off him!All the eye candy along the way sure whetted the appetite!

 

[thewiz]

Wow...I guess I missed something the last few days.....

Glad you guys had fun though!

 

[Lube]

Well that's really the fault of those JUBbers that, instead of, you know, ENJOYING themselves, decided they were going to browbeat another just because he - in his home town - wouldn't go out and meet strangers. From JUB. I hate that Orion is gone - i enjoyed meeting him in GA, and would certainly meet him again. But then there are those of you that take someone not being able to meet you - be it a mental wall or other means holding them back - as a fucking personal offense to you. Sorry, but couldn't you guys have enjoyed yourself, without the melodrama?

Perhaps you missed his earlier apology.
