Title: New-ish here, too
Post by: KitKat on August 21, 2012, 02:11:19 AM
Hi all,
I'm another roll over from the red-page.  I've been a "reading" member for a while, but not a poster so I felt another official hello was in order.
I'll go as KitKat; some of you will recognize me from my avitar.   ;D

I'm from the USA, New Jersey.  I look forward to joining in the conversations.

I'll take this opportunity to say hello to everybody, too. I've been reading this forum for years occasionally, but your discussions are just too interesting not to participate in. A big thank you to the moderators and everybody who contributes!

Just like to add mine too.  Never visited the official forum myself but it's great to see so many of you continue your discussions over here.  I'm sure you'll enjoy this forum very much indeed.

A very warm welcome to everyone too. I've been very quiet on here recently myself. I still read everything everyday, but my life has just been so hectic recently I just don't seem to have had the time to post.
I'm still a Knopfler maniac though, so no need to worry!!! ;D

Cheers. BBB

Most users came in this year when they found out that we may had a leak for redbud tree and that we had the snippets.
And of course we had the leak a day later  ;D

Fieneke, you know me so well already... the one on the right... that's pretty much what happens when I have too much < hiccup > beer.
Keep the beer away from the KitKat!

I'm a newbie as well - and must confess I was a little scared to subscribe as some Brazilians from Guy's forum are REALLY annoying and some people tend to generalise.

Just too stupid of me to be scared though. I was warmly welcomed and felt at home straight away:-)

Yeah, I'm the one who used to complain every now and then about the lack of South American tours and DVD releases lol now I'm just over it.

First time was STP too!  I agree.  I really feel for the fans because he obviously has a very loyal fan base there.

Yes, that was the first and also the last time he came down here...:-(

The funny thing is that after a couple of days in Rio he said he didn't know why he hadn't come before. I guess he found the answer himself since he never came back LOL

Hi everyone,
I'm a new member too. I moved from the MK.com. I'm not sure that I'll be a regular poster, but I'll be so happy to read the posts of other MK fans and to interact with them from time to time.

Yes, it's really nice to see some familiar friendly faces here and to get such a nice warm welcome from the regulars! 

I've been a Member of this forum for a year and a half already but I was having too much fun on the red site to post very much up 'til now. 

So I think I'll crack open a pint (or 3) of my favourite IPA and settle into this big comfy chair in the corner.  I heard there was a new MK album coming out soon so I expect this place will be buzzing with news and reviews any day now.  My copy likely won't arrive for a couple of weeks yet so if I happen to nod off in the meantime, please try to wake me gently.  I wouldn't want to spill any of this precious ale!   ;D

Hi Everyone!
Okay, this is my first post here - so many friend, Kit-Kat, Hop, Denmark, and Superval ... Fieneke mentioned that I should put my name on the list of fans from NA going over to London for the RAH concerts. I will be attending the first and the second performance - really can't wait to meet everyone and to hear the "live" performance.
That's all for now - not sure exactly how to navigate the site ... just tip-toeing around right now.
More later ...

Great! Do they have the new MK CD? If they do I will even throw in some beers for them! ;D
But wait a minute. They are not AMITers, are they? Only AMITers accepted. IDs will be asked and checked with headquarters.  ;D
But you've got a great sense of humour Ingrid. If they are near Pikermi, PM me and maybe I can arrange an ice cream fest!!!

I believe they are somewhere on a pretty small island, I never remember however they said it at least 10 times  :disbelief

Post by: vgonis on September 03, 2012, 08:46:27 PM
Well, we have thousands of islands, so can't really help by naming them.  ;D They are lucky to be there, wherever that is. It surely beats Athens.

MK wrote "Follow me home" while in Crete, so you can get a mind picture of a Grecian island when you listen to it.
