Post #1 » by **Sweezo** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 12:32 am

Ex-hippie, BenjaminH, and myself have a nice little group set up for some of us to keep in touch over on Facebook. Yeah, that's right, Facebook. If you want to join, please send an e-mail [and explain who you are] to : Realgmpnwcommunity@gmail.com

Trust me, it's not hard...log on and in five minutes, you've got a profile up.

I'm really hoping some of the old guard reads this, like CatchNShoot, JayMoney20, sonictecture, Downtown, andreaguiar, slick_watts, and AbdicatedReign. I mention them specifically only because I don't see them on here much anymore, while there's some people I'd like to see join who are still active and shouldn't need to be prodded to join.

I bet Larb will email you telling you he's someone else.

This is also kind of cool because we get to put faces with people. I always pictured Sweezo looking much more like Buster Bluth. I always pictured Hippie as someone with much longer hair and much dirtier clothes.

Except with Frodo hair and a goatee...

I figured out how to join Facebook and you were right Sweez, it was easy peasy. I just sent whoever that e-mail address belongs to a request to join.

I'm not sure what to do next boys!

Alright, that should be five so far:

Myself
Ex-hippie
jenn_GP
BenjaminH
hiphophead101

This process is much easier if you send an e-mail using whatever e-mail address you use for Facebook...helps search for people...

C'mon folks, don't be shy!

Thanks for the quick reply Sweez! It is cool putting the names with actual faces. I have to say, no one looks the way I imagined them, but I guess that's pretty much the way it works online.

I apologize for my picture, it was taken on my wedding day from last year. It's the only photo I have on my husband's computer.

I don't get it though..how are we able to discuss stuff? There doesn't seem to be a spot to post. I guess I'll find out once we get started.

I picture him as looking like that guy in his avatar.

We joined RealGM about the same time. Back then you were just "Hippie" ... you must have undergone a drastic transformation.

I may have posted a topic on the other "board" which will answer some questions for you.

No, not so much; I joined in June 2003 and you joined in January 2006. But in any event, the "hippie" thing was always tongue-in-cheek. I picked it out quickly when I thought I would just post one or two things and then be gone.

Putting my picture on the internet? I dunno... i'm one of those paranoid old farts who's still trying to keep Big Brother at arms length as long as I can.

You don't have to put a picture. You could just make an account without one.

I just replied to the Facebook board. Excuse my first couple of posts Ex-Hippie. For some reason I thought your facebook page was the Sonics Refugee board so I posted on there.

Dick, you don't have to put up a picture. Just join! I'll tell you, I have had problems with the PI board when it comes to pictures. Somehow some dude found out my husband's website and posted pics of me on there. That wasn't cool. I was a little hesitatant to post photos on facebook, but I trust Ex-Hippie, Sweezo, and Ben (the people who are in the group thus far). Just join Dick.

I have a request to join from someone I can't identify; whoever it is, can you post something here letting me know it's you? Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind, and welcome, HeavyP.
