Um,,NO!! That type of attention, while very impressive live and in person, is a strong deterrent from the image that we want to project.

As a contact person, that you are asking us to consider you for in the NJ area, we are gonna need to to tone the levels down a few notches. Neloc is about classy looks and, go fast cars (only when needed). Enthusiasm is a very good thing, just train it and use it productively.

NY,,, what can I say that I hadn't said already?? After taking yall back to church and trying to remind yall of the true importance of why we are really here, I am really glad I made the trip up from MD. Thank all of you guys for allowing me the opportunity to be there in this, your FIRST OF MANY, roundtable meets. All I can really say,, so many faces and names, I can't even BEGIN to name them all. I will say this, to all of my old friends/fam., it goes without saying that it is always good to see you guys. To all of my new friends/fam., finally got a chance to meet you however it will take me a little while longer to process all the names and faces. You guys have taken a very important step in the efforts of moving forward and progressing; please continue to keep up the efforts and never slid backwards. I have faith that you guys can pull yourselves out of the slump that you all have been in, and with a lot of help and guidance, you guys will excell. Neloc South is 100% behind your efforts and we will help in any way that we can. Just type my name, and I'll be there!!!! Thank you guys once again for the opportunity to ASSIST in making change on your home ground.

BTW.... Derrick thanks for the new title bruh!!! Glad we finally got to meet and talk outside of a show circuit for once. Really enjoyed your company and your assistance in helping us stay on track and keep things calm.

it was a good meet. started feeling like how it was a couple years ago again. It was good to see the issues addressed, there were some misconceptions and misunderstandings that needed to be cleared up. It was good to see everyone again. To be honest with my sc parked i felt like I didnt belong in neloc. However the family feeling started to outweigh that.

I see the Senator/Preacher is still holdin' it down in NELOC, thank goodness for that. NYC, I'm coming sometime this spring, I'll holla...

Damn, I miss the entire NELOC fam though....from those up North in the Philly and NY areas, to my MD/VA/DC fam, to my fam out west in Pittsburgh.

Once a few cupid arrows hit me around Thanksgiving last year, I've been on lockdown trying to figure out who deserves my investment of time and energy.

By Valentine's Day (and DAMN do I hate Valentine's Day), I finally narrowed it down to just one.

But now having a girlfriend is wrecking havoc on my free time, which sucks.

I KNOW I will be at Carlisle though.

Is it May yet????????????????????????

She'll be at Carlisle for sure. Problem is...she can't take the crazy driving, weaving in and out of traffic. She gets motion sickness.

So, I've already instituted the "no eating 30 minutes before we caravan" rule for her...and I'm currently looking for a good 'barf bag' for the Lexus...you know, just in case.

But yes, we'll initiate her in to NELOC at Carlisle. Good thing is, she can dance. So bring on the nightlife!

ok not to get off topic, but Kev, since Lamborghini has one, we may be able to talk Lexus into it

Yeah, I won't go off topic any longer. Craig, we need to chat anyway, it's been forever. I'll call you this week.

OK, back on topic....GO TriState area! You are well-supported from the Southeast.

LMAO, D...you know, I thought I saw some bacon up in the sky the other day, just wasn't sure.

Yes, I could be settling down. I'm still not 100% convinced as she is, but her confidence in "us" is refreshing, I have to say.

Anyway, I'm as shocked as you are, D.

And hec, you know me, Derrick...I probably would have been at the NY Roundtable Meet or at least more of these upcoming meets locally, but having a damn girlfriend clouds the schedule BIG TIME. I'm like WTF? For now, she's making up for it...but she better keep that ish up. I already told her, "WE ARE GOING TO CARLISLE. Tickets bought, hotel reservations made."

Back on topic....Go NYC Go! Keep up the enthusiasm.
