The Official THANK YOU to the bash crew thread!

D_A_Bunny · 06-23-2009, 05:06 PM

First thank you Conrad for giving us these forums to meet and learn about the many people whom share some common interests. Thank you!

I need to personally thank the entire bash crew - Heather, Johnny, AnnMarie, Carla, Andy, Ashley, Soup, Gabby, Jennifer, Steve, Leroy, Courtney, Randi, Cecilia, Wendy, Cathy and whomever I might be forgetting that I am sorry to forget.

This event was amazing. This was a fattie's dream vacation. It was also a dream vacation for my hubby FA. The amount of detail and effort was amazing. The hotel chosen was great, the workshops were fun and interesting and informative, the hospitality suite was well stocked and the access to the staff was always there.

I cannot say enough to fully make them realize just how much I appreciate them taking on this task and presenting to us all the chance to have an incredible bonding experience with lots of laughter and fun.

I can say to you all, that Larry and I were driving out of the parking lot saying that we will be back next year because to think about possibly missing it would be too painful.

So thank you to the many people who made this incredible event so amazing and fun and comfortable. You are a bunch of kind, generous and talented people. Larry and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

indy500tchr · 06-23-2009, 05:12 PM

Exactly what Christine said.

I have never underestimated the powers of Heather, AnnMarie and their crew. You two are amazing SUPERwomen! Every detail was thought of right down to the programs & water bottles (which by the way a bag of Large Peanut M&M's fit in their perfectly).

I can't wait to see what you come up with next year.

bigsexy920 · 06-23-2009, 05:13 PM

There are no words to express how much I appreciate all the work that everyone did to get this event on the map. It was by far the best Bash Ive been to and I've gone to a few in my day.

Thank you to anyone and everyone that was part of this - the first Dimensions Bash.

Big Hugs - Big applause to you all.

OneWickedAngel · 06-23-2009, 05:18 PM

THANK YOU cannot even begin to sum up the gratitude for everything the staff did to put this awesome Bash together. Last week was so beyond all I could have expected that I'll simply ditto all Christine just said.

And when we remind ourselves that this is merely the inaugural bash, just think of how much more we have to look forward to next year!

BigBeautifulMe · 06-23-2009, 07:57 PM

This was an astoundingly wonderful bash. There was something for everyone. The partying side of me was made happy by multiple occasions for social interaction, while the intellectual side of me (admittedly smaller because I was on vacation!) got to attend some workshops. And the goofy kid side of me got to stay up all night playing Uno and Scrabble and Connect Four.

Everything was set up so perfectly - there was never a moment where I wished the organizers had anticipated a need for something, because whatever I needed was always there.

Thank you to Heather, AnnMarie, et. al. for an absolutely superb experience. I will DEFINITELY be back next year - and I can't wait!

LillyBBBW · 06-24-2009, 09:11 AM

I simply can't wait for next year either. And to echo the sentiments expressed here already this was by far the best bash I've ever attended and I've attended them all. To miss the next one would be unthinkable. You folks who put this together have outdone yourselves. I know I've said that before but seriously.... everytime I think it can't get any better you folks pull off another jaw dropper. Thank you.

And thank you to all you folks who came. It was great meeting you all. I'll be seeing you all next year!

ssflbelle · 06-24-2009, 09:41 AM

Yes I too thank you all for the wonderful job you all did in putting this first Dims bash together for all of us. It was an exhausting but fun weekend for me. I hope to be able to do it again next year but hopefully without the physical difficulties I had this year. It was a pleasure getting to meet all those I shared the meals with as well as the fun times in and out of the pool. I also want to thank everyone who helped me in so many ways, you all know who you are and the help was very much appreciated.

ValentineBBW · 06-24-2009, 12:55 PM

I have to agree with everything said here already. This really has been the best bash ever. Thank you to all the bash workers, you did a great job! I can't wait to go back next year and I hope it is at the same hotel, the set up was great!

Laura2008 · 06-24-2009, 07:53 PM

I can only imagine how much hard work and planning went in to making the bash as successful as it was. Kudos to everyone who made this possible.

Carrie · 06-24-2009, 08:10 PM

I had a wonderful time. Many, many thanks to the entire bash crew, and to everyone who attended!

Clonenumber47 · 06-24-2009, 09:37 PM

Thank you to all of you. Without your kindness and understanding regarding my strict schedule, there would have been no way for me to attend. But you found a way to accommodate, and I must say it has been my best experience involved with the community.

Thank You All So Very Much.

Isa · 06-24-2009, 10:16 PM

What everyone else said!

Seriously, the crew did an incredible job as the bash was wonderful from beginning to end.

Littleghost · 06-25-2009, 08:44 AM

Thanks so much! You all made it a welcoming, great time. I'll try my hardest to be back next year.

liz (di-va) · 06-25-2009, 11:40 AM

Major heartfelt thank yous from me added to the pile. I really appreciate all the hard work that was clearly put in--both in the planning and in the weekend itself!

Rowan · 06-25-2009, 12:19 PM

Putting my two cents in....

thank you all so much for your hard work! I had a wonderful time and cant wait to do it again next year.

Darkeyes · 06-25-2009, 03:23 PM

I can't say thanks enough to all of the organizers and fellow bashers. We are a pretty cool group of folks here and I can't wait to see what we can do with this next year!!!! Thanks again everyone!

AnnMarie · 06-25-2009, 07:40 PM

Just dropping off some staff thanks to all of you - this was so fun, and wouldn't have been nearly as much without all the good attitudes, open spirits, and general laughter that you guys all bring with you. This is a great community and this bash was yet another example of that.

Thank you all for coming and supporting this, it means the world.

swordchick · 06-28-2009, 02:27 PM

I also want to thank everyone who made this bash possible. This was the best bash that I've ever been to. The hotel was beautiful and the hotel staff was great. The DJ was awesome.

A special thank you to Heather and AnnMarie for looking out for me at the Supersized Perpectives workshop. You two are awesome.

Rydia · 07-08-2009, 02:58 PM

Okay, so I'm a little late posting to this thread, but a "thank you" is better late than never.

I can honestly say that the Bash was one of the coolest, most amazing weekends of my life, and it was great being able to make so many new friends. A huge thank you to the bash crew for putting it all together and making things run so smoothly!!! I really appreciate all your hard work. I can't wait to see what next year will be like!
