What does BFM stand for? Big Fat Meet-up. This is the 6th one apparently... Many Sonlight users on the Sonlight Forum wanted to meet eachother since they'd been 'friends' for years online. So, they decided to plan a BFM, and it's been going on yearly since. This was my first, and nice and local in Evanston, IL. I am just posting some of the highlights of the trip. (which was 4 days, Th-Su)
I got a henna. It's nice for a little while but I'm glad I don't have a REAL tatoo there.
Walking along the lakeshore with a few friends. The one to the left of the girl in purple was one of my roommates. The stick girl is a DPSG, Dear Popsicle Stick Gal. Lots want to go who can't so someone came up with the idea of those ladies comeing in this form, so we take pictures of them doing stuff with the rest of us. Kinda corny I admit, but fun.
Don't swim in Lake Michigan unless you want to die...
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! James Brownie Jackhammer Fudge Frozen Custard. YUMMY!!!!!
Becca ate some with me...
Lake Boat Tour. The gal in pink plaid picked me up and took me (Becca drove me home) and the gal in black spent the night at my house on Sunday night. She was on her way further on vacation and had her kids with her. Her hubby had to fly home (he'd had the kids while she was at the BFM)
On the boat
I've lived in NW Indiana my whole life and I never knew there were locks between the Chicago River and Lake Michigan!!!!
Salmonwich. YUMMY!!!! With guacamole and chiplote aoli.
Nutella Bread Pudding and Raspberry Fizz (nonalchie) atop the John Hancock building, the 96th floor!!
View out the Signature Lounge, John Hancock
Shrimp Po'boy and cheesy grits YUMMY!!!!
My hand is like that cuz the henna was still wet...
Group shot of everyone who came to the BFM. Mainly we broke off and went to different places in smaller groups but everyone went on the boat tour.
