[MIKolbe]

Any flexibility on the date? Summer is a pretty expensive time for airfare...

I'll talk to the boss about when he'll be around. But I'd really love to see us rally right around the time the phorum started. dUSt "became a member" of the community on July 1, 2003. I'd love to have people together on that day. Details will come. Plan on summer 2013, though -- for now.

razzle dazzle. Check with the boss and get back with me.

If people who would have to fly could save $50-$100 by a date change, it might be behooving to entertain.

Friends are more important than some random date. But then I may be odd.

You are.

If $50-$100 is enough to keep people away from a rocking ten year anniversary party with dUSt, well, maybe they shouldn't come.

But then, I also wouldn't mind taking dUSt and his family out for dinner and drinks (where appropriate) on the PM anniversary and having you losers down later in the year when the weather is nicer (maybe during the State fair) and flights are cheaper.

Not really. But if you did say more:

Largest fair in the US (by annual attendance)
Only fair boasting the Birds of the World show (amazing show)
Texas Star Ferris Wheel (largest in North America)
Historic Fair Park (LEARNING!!)

I don't like this thread. It implies that phatmass existed prior to my joining.

July 2003: The IPB board b-day. This version is the only one that all but a small handful of us remember.

Youngsters.....Your mum, Jasjis and I have better memories... "[color=#000000][font=Arial, 'sans serif'][size=2]A web site with one foot in contemporary culture and the other foot planted firmly in their faith. The Phatmass Web site actually started in late 1999, according to Dustin Sieber, the site's Web master. "The original goal of Phatmass was originally to defend the church against misconceptions," he said in a telephone interview from his home in Arlington, Texas. "Apologetics, short answers to common misconceptions," was the focus, he added. But over time, the site evolved to offer games and music to Phatmass visitors. "They can come in for another reason, then put in the apologetics while they're there," Sieber told CNS.[/size][/font][/color]

"The “phat” in phatmass stands for “Preaching Holy Apostolic Truth”. Founded in 2000, this website is an online community and a Catholic hip-hop production entity. They defend and promote the Catholic faith via innovative multimedia striving to "portray orthodoxy, charity and humility."[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif][size=4]
The apologetics section of the site is excellent with many good links. Some people may find the Catholic hip-hop irreverent but we are not reviewing the music.[/size][/font][/color]

[i][b]I[/b][/i] remember. But you know that there are very few of us that remember (or even know existed) phatmass before the IPB version. My mom invited me to join just a few months after she did. She doesn't outdate me by much.
