I know most of you gentlemen and a lot of you ladies have had this happen to you - and you've all gotten over it in admirable fashion, so I know I shall, too. But, I can no longer say I have never been NCNS'd. I've been at this hobby off and on since long before ASPD went away, and this was a first. And, to think it was one of my faves that did it. I know London Bridge has had some drama lately, but I still figured, hell, she's awesome, so go for it, right?
LB and I had met before, so screening wasn't a big issue. And, I have written a review in the past of an encounter - http://eccie.net/showthread.php?t=889846
We chatted by text last night and set it up for today at 4:30. We settled on a out rather than in and I'd get the accommodations. This morning, I get a text asking if we could push it 5. No probs. In fact, that worked better for me. At 4, I get a text asking if we could push to 5:15. Sure. No probs. 4:30 brings a text confirming location. At 5, I get a bet antsy and ask if all is well - immediate response, "Yea" followed by and on my way at a touch after 5. At 5:07, I get a text asking for the room number. I provide it and then she Amelia Earharts it. 22 text messages from her leading up to that point. None since. Not sure what's up. I do know that it's irritating to be out time and money for a ncns. I know things happen. Traffic gets in the way. Family emergencies come up. But, drop me a clue, right?
For you younger ones, to "Amelia Earhart" is to disappear without a trace. It's a bit tacky, honestly, but, well, there you have it.
To paraphrase Bogie, "We'll always have Halloween," I suppose.
