G2G is new to me. Not sure if my wife would be willing to go...can just one of the spouses attend or is that taboo and asking for trouble?
Just looking for a little guidance here.
thanks,

Blakesteele,
Everyone is welcome to a G2G, couples, singles, one person from the relationship (maybe the other has commitments and can't get away). Whatever you and your wife decide is good. Both of you will be welcomed... just like on SI.
I hope you decide to go.. there is nothing that compares to meeting (and putting a face to the name) and feeling the warmth from these boards in real life.
I can promise, you won't regret it.
Hugs,
K

Blakesteele, if you, alone or with your spouse, have the opportunity to attend, I can promise you won't regret it. I can't wait for my next g2g - wish I could make this one!

blakesteele, Kajem pretty much summed it up.
It's pretty cool meeting real life SIers. Mr. and I have been to 1 "official" G2G and a mini with a couple of friends. Both times were pretty awesome.

My concern is this....my wife has told me several times she is done with SI...doesnt need to read what she already knows (from advice from other WS to what I post on here).
I find SI really helpful...gave her my password so that she could find my posts easily...thought that was beneficial. I just changed my password due to a really bad experience I had with her (not SI related, just her committment level to me and our M)..and it is probably the right choice. She can join and follow my posts easily through that format if she desires. again, she has said she doesnt desire to come here.
I dont think she would be up to attending...but I will ask her. The 18th doesnt work for us due to a family event...but am interested in attending one sometime...maybe.
I say maybe because I am really concerned about bonding to another BS...a BW to be exact.
I was enthused to see Sissoon was coming...as I just posted I would love to share a meal with him sometime.
I love my family...just concerned that coming alone to a G2G event would be dangerous for me. Since my wifes A I have viewed other women in a very different light...as a real possibility for me...no longer just in fantasy play (even that I NOW wonder is as docile as I once thought it was).
Thanks for educating me on what a G2G event is...just found out about them less then a week ago...and in less then a week it is in a very easy driving distance from our home.

Speaking of food, picnic input. Please. Discuss.

We're flexible, but I think it'll be easier all around if we each bring our own, counting on Fri and Sat nite dinners and Sunday brunch for the flavor of St. Louis.

You don't have to like your boundaries. You just have to set and enforce them.

I was able to make a reservation for 8 for Friday's dinner. They want to know ASAP if there will be more than 8 as it is a graduation weekend. Please post here as soon as you can with a yes and a number of people if you will go to the Friday dinner.

Yes, two, but we may be late - around 7:00-7:30 - depending on Friday traffic . . . 
Hopefully, we'll be going opposite most of it.
