Ahhh one of the great things about ActiveRain is the opportunity to meet and make some great friends - and when you actually meet them in person - fun times usually prevail !!!!!

I had the absolute pleasure of having lunch with Bob & Lisa Hammerstein yesterday, and they are two of the nicest people you could ever meet !!! .... Heck if I wasn't a Realtor I'd hire them to sell my own home !!!!

We chatted, brainstormed, and chuckled a lot, and I left lunch with a big smile, and I look forward to our next one

... oh and I left with a parting gift !!!! ...

The HammersPen !

... I say it was a big success !!! LOL !!

Below is their recap of the get together !!! ... and a little Flip Video from Academy Award Winning Videographer - Bob Hammerstein !!!

Good Times !!!

Hi everyone and Lisa says Hi! ,

Yesterday we met up and had lunch with a Fellow Rainer that we can now truly call our friend.

Sheldon Neal! A rising star here on Active Rain.

Sheldon was kind enough to take our picture for us yesterday with our new Localism T-shirts we received from Bob Stewart and Claire Cruver.

Anyway, We had a blast as you can tell from the picture below.

Along with accompanying video below.

It's such a treat that Active Rain can provide all of us with a terrific network to meet other colleagues like Sheldon. We plan on meeting again with Sheldon to so some more brainstorming and generally have some laughs. It was a wonderful time and we are looking forward to doing it again in the near future. O.K. Sheldon - lunch is on us next time!

Hey Patricia: I wondered about that pickup truck, too. See, great minds miss nothing. Well, there could have been a big black BMW next to the pickup truck, hard to tell. And Sheldon, tell me why did you NOT have lobster? Did that place even serve lobster? Didn't look like a lobster house to me, but hey, I would have ordered the lobster. Two of them. One for each hand. Here, take THAT. No, YOU take THAT. Little lobster war.

Sheldon, glad to see you are having fun with the videographer side of you and it is great you got together with the Hammers Team. What's funny after knowing someone so long on the computer you really do feel like you know them when you meet them for real.

hi Sheldon! I'm back from haitus---or was that haiti? Wherever, it's been a helluva week and I have to get back into a syncopated rhythm in the RAIN I can always count on you for fun and a "glad you're here!" message. Thank you! What fun---and magic!--- to meet folks you've gotten to know on AR...It's amazing how we get to relating, long before a handshake...it's simply amazing, a truly different and exciting new way to develop relationships. In your 2nd pic, I must say that you remind me of Mr Bean! ;-) Cheers!
