TARmiami2011 PARTY TIME!!
« on: May 07, 2011, 10:08:36 AM »
What could be better than all our favorite racers gathered in one place to celebrate 10 years of TAR??

Not much!!


It is a beautiful sunny Miami morning today....

But last night, friends gathered at the absolutely BEAUTIFUL Sagamore Hotel for an evening of cocktails, reunions, and conversation under the stars!

I am sure there will be pictures around, so feel free to share them here....in this case we will allow FB pictues of the events...except of me!! :lol3:

Here are some of my favorite people ever, thanks to Anita and Arthur for the photo!

I'll add pics later, but wanted to pop in and say what a great time everyone is having in Miami!  Today was mostly spent by the pool of the lovely LOEW'S Hotel chatting and catching up with Racers.  Everywhere you looked there seemed to be another group.  Such fun!  All of the Racers really seem to be having a blast reconnecting with each other, or in many cases finally meeting for the first time.

All of the Racers gathered together on the lawn of the hotel for a fabulous group shot, what a sight!!   

Fun Fun Fun!!

Thanks Peach and MamaT for the pics.  I'll save my questions until tonight.  I hope more photos pop up like the one BostonRob posted on Twitter.  It's cool to see teams from one season posing together.  I wonder why only 5 teams from season 7 attended.

Its being compiled.  It was hard to do while we were there, because everywhere you looked there were Racers, so it seemed like everybody was there.  But now that my brain is working a little better, its easier to recognize who was not there.  Whoever didnt attend missed a hell of a weekend!

Working on pics.  Got a ton.  Any special requests?

Peach has already posted the BEST pic of Jeff & Jordan, but Im sure there are more.   Rob & Amber only came to the "official" party on Saturday night (to which we were not invited  (:;)) so I never saw them.  Nat & Kat also werent around much, but Im sure I have at least one pic of them.  GT, G/M & Z/J however there are tons of pics of.  I'll get some up soon!

I guess Meghan and Cheyne didn't go because of their wedding along with those in their wedding. An odd weekend to schedule it...

I don't think the cowboys were there, you didn't see them did you? How about Chip and Kim or Freddy and Kendra?  :)

Having trouble with pics at the airport, so for now, how about a quick recap?

The weekend started off with a viewing of The Ride on Friday night.  Quite a few Racers attended. Im sure this is not a complete list, but specifically I remember Anita/Arthur, Kent/Vyxsen, Air Steve, Gerard, Clown Al, Rachel (S17) Jonathon Baker & Ray/Deana.  (help me here Peach & Chateau!) The movie was great and Phil was charming as always in his Q&A,

Afterwards, the party moved to the outrageous Sagamore Hotel for an outside cocktail party.  Way too many Racers to mention, but suffice it to say, it was a fans dream to be there with Racers from every season.  We were outside on a beautiful night, next to the pool in the hotels "Video Garden" and it was the perfect spot to begin the weekend festivities. The party was scheduled to end around midnight, but went until almost 2 AM.  Everyone seemed to be having a great time reconnecting with old friends, or meeting new ones and comparing stories and memories.  It was a fun, laughter (& booze) filled evening.    

Saturday was a hangout day.  Since most of the guests were all staying at the LOWES hotel, the pool area became the place to be.  By midday, we had basically taken over one part of the pool area, and there were just groups of people mingling and socializing all over.  Everyone was so friendy and welcoming, and it was truly a fabulous afternoon.  So much fun, and great weather too! (and since TAR has a habit of casting really pretty people, seeing everyone in their bathing suits wasnt so bad  :-[.

BVM & Elise were there mingling as well, and although it took me a while to gather the courage, I fianlly did approach him and introduce myself.  He was very nice & engaging and really not scary at all.  :lol:

More to come...

Awesome! After clicking the photo and making it larger, I'm glad to say I could recognize nearly ever racer in that photo! But there's a few I just can't figure out for the life of me, and it's starting to really bother me!

If anyone can help:
Bottom left: Who is the tiny girl with the sunglasses standing behind Drew (TAR1)? And who is the guy with the blue collared shirt standing behind her who looks like he's saying something to Rachel (TAR17)? And is that Margarita wearing the pink shirt standing behind Karyn (TAR1)?

Middle back: Who is the guy wearing the white shirt behind Teri & Ian and standing next to Tina (TAR13)?

And just to confirm, is that Reichen standing between Cyndi & Russell and Brennan in the bottom left of the photo? And is that Chris (TAR4) standing in the very top left corner next to Steve (TAR4)? And way in the back, is that Tyler (TAR10) in between Starr (TAR13) and Eric (TAR9)? And is that Jeremy (TAR9) showing us the side of his head behind Starr?

Thanks for any help!

Here is some help with names:

Bottom left
To Cyndi's left = Matt (TAR1) first Phileminated racer!
Behind him - Chris & Alex - Winners of TAR2
To Drew's left = Margita (TAR1)
To Margarita's left = Karyn (TAR1)
Behind Kendra = Freddy (TAR6)
Above Uchenna & Joyce = Ray & Deanna (TAR7)
Above Susan is her son Patrick (TAR7)

Bottom right
Above Kris = Jodi (TAR14)
Nat & Kat (TAR17) in front

Top Left
African American couple = Dana & Adrian (TAR16)
I also think that is Lake (TAR9) in that corner

Top middle
Tina (Tar13) next to Ken

Top right
gray hair I believe is Rob (TAR10)
Below him = Kellie (TAR10)
Below Linda = Dan & Jordan (TAR16)

I'll see if I can find others!

No way! Is that Matt?! No wonder I didn't recognize him. He lost the hippie look! And it's MargarIta. Unfortunately, Margaretta is no longer with us. And yes, that is Lake! With Michelle in front of him!

Sorry, don't mean to be a bother! But I still think you have Terence misidentified. The Terence you have looks more like Tyler (TAR10) and the Sarah you have looks more like Starr! The Tyler you have HAS to be Terence next to Sarah! But I wasn't there, so I don't know.  :duno:

I saw some pictures elsewhere with Monica & Joseph (TAR9) and Kandice (TARS 10 & 11) but I don't see them in this group shot.

Yah, Rob & Amber and Danielle (TAR9) aren't in this shot either. Guess they weren't there yet?  :duno:

This will take some time! Just as exhausting as identifying unknown racers!

P.S. Thanks TARdevotee, AmazingRace and Greytex!

Gotta run. Not sure if you got my last message. But Cindy (TAR4) is next to Dana. Jennifer Hopka (TAR14) behind Jodi. And not 100% sure on there two, but Dan (TAR13) and possibly Jeremy (TAR9) all the way in the back! Still can't figure out 3 people though! Argh!

I believe the three we don't have are the couple behind Drew on the left, and the guy in front of Toni and Bill at the middle back?

I'm impressed with how many teams showed up! Looks like a great event. There are way more racers out there when you think about it.
I love seeing all of them and being reminded of some teams I had not thought of in a while.

Rob Frisbee showed up. He's so reclusive!

From the names on there, these are among the Racers who I don't see (other than the ones who went to the wedding):
Season 1: David (which I can understand since Margaretta passed away a couple of years ago); Frank;
Season 4: David and Jeff; Reichen
Season 6: Jon and Kris

As I mentioned in the past, there have been 390 Racers. It was interesting to see that some of the divorced or split-up couples showed up, and in other instances one or the other didn't. It also looks as if many of the Family Edition teams didn't show, including the Linzes.

Still looks to be a great turn out.

Glad I could help! Thanks for making it in the first place!

How DID he get in there?! Haha, I would have called him out if I was there. Anyone else think the other mystery twosome are random wanderers as well? I was thinking maybe they were kids from the Family Edition who've since grown up? But I think they might be random too...  :umn:

Now we know who was there based on the group picture, and based on other photo evidence, we know Rob & Amber, Danielle and Kandice were there. So did any of you who attended see or meet any other racers that nobody's mentioned yet?

Surprised Oswald and Danny weren't there. Don't they live in or near Miami or something? And I wish Charla & Mirna, David & Mary, Brook & Claire, the Bowling Moms, Gus & Hera, Ryan & Chuck and Nancy & Emily were in the group shot! They were some of my favorites!

Just curious, how did you get 390? Out of the 16 of 18 Races that included new racers, I only count 378. And I remember 378 because I was disappointed that TAR18 brought in old racers instead of new ones that would have brought the number of racers to an even 400 (assuming there were 11 new teams). Guess we'll have to wait until the Fall for that to happen!

Nick (TAR17) wasn't in the picture that I could see. Was Gretchen missing as well?

Bravo Neobie   :tup:   A tremendous effort on your part.  Thanks.

I am disappointed that my favorite season (5) had the lowest turnout.  

For those in the know, were the flights, lodging, and food provided free by the organizers?  If they were, I'm kind of surprised there wasn't a higher turnout.  The venue looked spectacular.


eta.  Peach, do you have any photos of Wanda, race 9?

There have been 378 racers in the 18 TAR's.  As best as I can tell there are 141 racers in the picture (and 3 intruders!).  There were also 8 other racers at the event but not in the picture (Danny, Amber, Rob, Monica, Joseph, Danielle, Kandice, Jenna).

And if you're a geek like me, here is the breakdown by season:

Some more pictures.  For you RFF detectives, the mystery man in the blue shirt on the left side of the picture can be seen a little closer in one of these pictures.  Rachel appears to know him (she's talking to him in the big picture)

Even Phil is a fan!

Finally!!  Its taken me awhile to catch up on some much needed sleep and take care of some "real life" stuff, so I apologize for the delay.  Can I make it up to you with some bathing suit shots?!   These are pics taken at the "Pool Party" on Sat afternoon.  This was a really fun afternoon of hanging out by the pool as everyone got reconnected.  

Enjoy!  More to come!
