I knew you and loved you the minute I saw you. Mr. Ellebud is a peach, and a good sport to put up with our strange subculture.
To tell you the truth, I was a little concerned that you would be disappointed by my lack of glamour, not to mention lack of a manicure, LOL. (Note to self: get a haircut before your mother sees you this weekend.)
When I showed up, which of us did you think I was?
I knew that I had two namesā¦I didnāt hear an accent so I guessed. Ohā¦and why would I be disappointed? You were perfect for you. I, on the other hand was afraid that you would think that I was a snob. (I 'm notā¦I hopeā¦maybe a bit) Mr. Ellebud thought that we were an interesting trio. In a good way.
Iāve met a number of CC members IRL some of whom have become IRL friends.
In addition, my DD met a couple of CC families when she was in college and offered them private college tours (for which they then took her to dinner!).
I missed a NYC get togetherā¦and instead met one other CC member closer to home here for lunch.
I think there are enough of us to organize a CT get together someplace.
I never met her in person, but a momās son from my sons hs class thread ended up not only going to the same university, but ended up living next door to each other in the dorm and becoming really good friends.
I still canāt get over the fact that @āYoudonātsayā lives very close to my sister and her DH taught all three of my sisterās kids!! It really is a small world.
Iāve met many CCers in person over the years! Itās really fun.
@alwaysamom, any chance you will be in NYC over Labor Day weekend? Maybe youāll be gone by then? Iām going to be there to see my Dās show. Iām going to be in South Jersey for a week in mid-September and so missing you there.
@soozievt, unfortunately, not. Iām there next week Thursday til Sunday then headed down to south Jersey for a few days to visit one of my oldest and dearest friends, who coincidentally attended the same high school as you did, I believe! I would love to be able to see Sās show, Iām sorry to miss it. One of these days our visits will coincide!
Iāve met several CCers from the Prep School forum over the years. Our son was good friends with another boy whose mom posted there regularly. Unfortunately (for him), I outted my son early in my CC career and many on campus knew who I was. Our son hated it when his friends would tell him what his mom was ranting about on CC. I promised not to do that for college.
In any case, every CC poster Iāve met has been fabulous and every meet-up was a blast. If anyone is ever in the Phoenix area, Iām always happy to get together.
I have not met any CCers in real life. I donāt travel a whole lot, and around here (at least in my part of town), I donāt think very many people are even aware that CC exists. If anyone is ever in Southwest Ohio, though, Iām happy to meet up with you!
Laughing at @ChoatieMom , because my daughter wishes I hadnāt made her āfamousā on my cool kids thread. And my librarians with cats thread. Oops!
My son and a CCerās D went to the same small LAC. Based on what this parent posted, S was able to figure out who the D was. I saw the parent at graduation, but was too busy talking to other parents (we hapened to be sitting next to his ex-GFās parents) to approach.
And I am wracked with guilt! I also would love to meet @doschicos . And so I donāt keep coming back and posting, a whole bunch of other people on CC who seem very nice:-)
