King Kon 2018

[Nomik]

Sorry for the interruption - had no time to write.
Left you in the driveway of the lake house Friday night.
Came around the corner and began a guessing game;
Tried to match the faces I was seeing with a name.

"Hi. I'm Mrs. Smeej," I said (continuing to guess)
Feeling nervous - and not introducing Mr. S.
But it won't surprise you all that Spideyman was right
And the instant warmth and smiles were such a welcome sight.

There was no mistaking GNTLGNT, I must say.
If he's standing you would recognize him right away.
At the grill and cooking up a storm was his son Seth
We met Tracey and Ciera... Loved them both to death.

I'd always imagined that Ms. Mod was 10 feet tall.
That she'd be intimidating... That's not true at all.
Warm and charming - gracious - and she makes a killer pie.
We decided Mr. King's a pretty lucky guy.

There's still lots of folks to mention from our King Ka-tet
They're about the nicest people that we've ever met.
But, I fear, I'm out of time and have to stop for now...
Plus this rhyme is getting rather longish anyhow.

Ms. Mod ten feet tall....I have pictures of her next to Scott and she looks like a wee thing

Thank you for sharing these. Incredible collage of a memorable vacation. I had no idea Neibolt was a real place.

It's the exterior they used in the TV show (I believe?? ) It's actual 19 Lincoln Street in this level of the tower!

And a fabulous red skin potato salad, too!!

I didn't go to the Kon but did have an experience.LOL I order a King Kon shirt every time now. Some how I thought I had ordered mine and had the paperwork.But forgot something on pay pal and they rejected it. Took me awhile to figure that out.Thought it was to late to reorder. So anyway a bit late but got it straight and reordered one.Should be here at the end of the month. So apparently can still order. I ordered on Friday. Makes me think I am loosing it.

Nice pictures.Thank-you

Robert Gray and his wife are the sweetest people...very knowledgeable about the area. They have an awesome home too (you’ll drool over it and I’m betting they would open it up to a fellow Skmb member in the area)
Baby Blue and Mr. Blue know how to sing (I’m afraid of those videos of me being posted here eeeek)
Scott is sooooo tall....and remarkably nice.
Stacy and Lori (Misery) come as a pair, and they will have you in stitches.
Neesy....ah ...what can I say? She’s even more awesome in real life? She’s hysterical...
OK I’ll give you a quick story. We were at the truck stop, Dysart’s, And we had just finished our meal and were checking out the gift shop..... neesy tells me that she has to use the washroom and proceeds to waltz into the showers available for truck drivers!!!
She announces “what am I doing in the showers?!”
The whole thing was hysterical.
I’ll give you more stories bit by bit...
One thing I learned from the Kon.....
I intended for my user name to be my nickname and my last initial (Pronounced Nomee K) , but I learned quickly that I had miscalculated the way people would read it and that I was going to now be “Nawmick” or in some cases “No Mick”

Excellent field reporting, Nomee K. Yeah, in my head I have been calling you "No Mick". I laughed out loud about Neesy walking into the truck stop showers.
Thank you for sharing these moments, it helps us get a better idea of the camaraderie and minutiae.

Okay to be honest it was not intentional and I didn’t see anything!

We are still stuck here in NYC LaGuardia due to previous bad weather in the Northeast

Yes, big thank you to Nomik GNTLGNT Neesy do1you9love? and others for sharing pics. Does my heart good to see everyone together having a great time. It was touching to see how you all honored Nate this year.

[GNTLGNT]

....I’ll try to get some pics posted again tomorrow from the cell....have some more Acadia and such...then when we download the pics from the cameras, we’ll see what other goodies there are....

 

[Lepplady]

Love the pictures! I hope to see more, from the tours and such.
It warms my heart to see folks sporting kon shirts.
I wish I'd been there.

I can’t make this site work properly from my phone so I’m going to wait until later in the week to post the things I have to share. It’s been absolutely great to be able to be a part of another Kon. HUGE thanks to everyone for participating!!
I’ll be back soon.
