Post your encounters!

[Lindsey]

Hey guys! I've created a new board b/c I was noticing all the comments you have been leaving on the news bulletins. Please post your stories here for us to read! We'd all love to read about how you met Apolo, and of course we want to see your pictures!!! If you're not sure how to add pictures to posts, just click the image icon in the Add Tags section above your message post and paste the URL where you've uploaded it in between the tags (from flickr or webshots, etc.). If you have any questions, just reply to this thread. If you create a new thread for each new *event,* it will keep this board organized...

HAPPY POSTING! Can't wait to hear your stories.

Lindsey

I wanted to share some pictures with everyone. They are from yesterday's Nikkei Concerns fundraiser. If you want to read my story, you can check SimplyApolo.com I submitted my story there - I'm too tired to copy/paste sorry.

Enjoy!

PS One big problem! I read the above and still don't know how to add my images

[laura6]

I cannot find it on the site???

[Maria]

I just submitted the story/pictures so she may not even be aware she has new mail

My pictures are from a CD so how do I attach them here? When I click on insert image, it doesn't take me to the 'attach file' command.

You might have to load the pics up on Imageshack and then post them, Maria. That's how alot of us post pics here. Or use Photobucket.

Let's see if this works

sorry, I don't know why it displays a small image followed by a larger image. I only had four pictures attached. I do have more but I was just testing.

OMG those are amazing he looks sooooooooooooooooo good. And Yuki looks really nice too. I've gotta see some more pics.

[laura6]

he looks alot taller thanyuki..unless its the angle

Great job, Maria! Both father and son look quite handsome. I like Apolo's suit and shirt very much. I hope that you had a great time!

[Maria]

That's a good observation. I was surprised to see how much taller Apolo is than his father. I suppose his mother's side contributed the 'gene'. I could see eye to eye with Yuki, he looked so cuddly, to me.

Thanks so much for sharing those, Maria.

Those little kids with the red bandanas and soul patches are really cute.

Cute pics Maria, thanks for sharing them!

Maria's writeup is on SimplyApolo now.

It sounds like you bought yourself a birthday present, Maria.

I know you have followed short track for a long time. Do you skate yourself?

I can't wait to see more pictures. There are some up at SimplyApolo but they are really small.

I am sad that he seemed overwhelmed by all the people at the reception, but I've heard that before. He's just not that outgoing a person but he handles it well anyway.

Any more details you can remember would really be appreciated, Maria.

And happy belated birthday!

Terrific pics, Maria!

Thank you so much for posting them!
