Okay, I’ve been kicking around an idea and I’m curious whether there’s actually enough interest to make it happen.
Would any of you be interested in a real-life ABF Heaven meet & greet somewhere in the U.S.?
Nothing terribly complicated or overly organized at this point. I’m picturing getting together somewhere fun where people from the site could actually meet each other, have drinks, eat, hang out, laugh, put faces to usernames and generally see whether we all like each other as much in person as we do behind our keyboards!
I’m pretty flexible about location, although somewhere in the South/Southeast would obviously be easiest for me. New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, somewhere along those lines…but I’m completely open if another location makes more sense for everyone.
And MEN, I love you, but I already suspect some of you would happily have your bags packed by lunchtime. But, what I’m REALLY curious about is the women!!!!
Would you actually come?
Because I think the whole thing only works if we can get a decent group of women genuinely interested in being there too. And I don’t mean “sounds fun!” interested. I mean if the date and location worked, would you seriously consider getting on a ✈️ or in your 🚗 and showing up?
No date yet. No location decided. Hell, I don’t even know if this is dinner and drinks or something bigger😉 I’m just taking the temperature before I get carried away and start planning something nobody asked me to plan.
So…would you come?
And if the answer is yes, where would you be willing to go? Talk to me!
This is an ambitious idea. Not easily arranged and of course come with lots of questions for many would be participants. I would consider attending if the female to male ratio in attendance was higher than it is on the site. Travel is always fun, just a matter of timing. Location may be a factor.
@njtitman 🙃,
And THAT is exactly why I’m asking the women first. 😂 I have a sneaking suspicion I could round up plenty of men interested for a M&G!
I definitely wouldn’t want to plan something where three poor women walk into a room and discover 47 men waiting for them 😳! Nobody needs that kind of pressure!
If there’s enough genuine interest from the women, though, I think this could actually be really fun. Then we can start figuring out where everyone is willing to travel and what might realistically work. As always, thank you for your thoughtful response. 😘
I’m not surprised you’re keenly aware of the foibles. Thanks for your dedication to the community
I’d be down for this! New Orleans for Mardi Gras sounds appropriate 🥰
We also have this in NOLA…
Naughty N’awlins is a HUGE lifestyle convention held every year in New Orleans. Around 3,000 people attended in 2026, and there are parties, live music and DJs, classes and workshops, meet & greets, Bourbon Street events, themed nights, and all sorts of other grown-up shenanigans. 😂😏
The next one is July 7–11, 2027 in New Orleans.
It’s obviously much broader than ABF/ANR, but it made me wonder whether something like this could be an interesting backdrop for our own little ABF Heaven gathering—or whether everyone would rather we do something completely separate.
Has anyone here ever been? Or heard anything about it? I’m curious. 👀❤️
I would absolutely attend and here’s a location suggestion Charlotte north carolina its an easy airport to get to and close to my location also i have been on this search for three years and lots of posers liars and ghosters so something to actually meet people physically 😊 would be great in a safe environment so please count me in lola 😊
@janet 🌸🌸,
That’s completely understandable, and I certainly appreciate your input! Have a wonderful day!
BOBBI!! Okay, now THIS makes me happy 🥳 I was really hoping some of the women would say they’d actually come and not just “oh, that sounds fun!” and then disappear when it was time to book a flight. 😉
And Charlotte is definitely worth considering. I hadn’t even thought about it, but it could be a really good option.
Honestly, I think half the fun would just be finally meeting some of the people we’ve gotten to know on here. And I already know you and I would have entirely too much fun together. 😂🤭🤓
So yes ma’am, I’m officially counting you in. 😘
Meeting others that share this desire in a “ no pressure “ situation sounds great.
A few years back some ladies in the PNW held a meet and greet one evening sharing stories and wine.@grogman 🫶🏻,
I LOVE hearing that some women have actually done this before!That makes me think I’m not completely crazy for suggesting it.
And “no pressure” is exactly what I’d want. Come have a drink, meet some people, laugh, flirt if you want to flirt, don’t if you don’t, and just enjoy finally putting actual humans to all these usernames. Would you come?
@lolamayi12345 the quick answer is yes. The realistic answer is that it depends on work schedule, vacation schedules, phases of the moon, etc… etc… etc…
Location should be convenient for the organizer. NOLA is doable as is Charlotte. I’d avoid the summer so any northerners don’t melt.😜P.s. I share David’s concerns about ratios.
Four ladies to one Grog seems decent.😜😂🤣Four ladies to one Grog?! 😂😂 Well aren’t you ambitious.
I’m beginning to think the ratio may be the single greatest motivating factor for the men on this site to help me make this happen!Y’all need to get to work convincing the lovely ladies to partake!
And noted on not making the northerners experience Louisiana in July. I’d like everyone to survive the meet & greet. 🥵🔥☀️
This probably won’t happen until we are old ladies and then we can probably exchange stories about the days when grog used to travel on his bike and visit 4 bosomy ladies on every trip. Just kidding.. might work on a small island but the US is so big and we all are so busy .. we would also need to have good idea of who is attending ..
