Housekeeping Notes

It's an unpleasant task, but at least it's front desk work, and not changing linens.

I have 16 rooms reserved in Helen for the Blogtoberfest, aka The 2004 Annual Jawjah Blogfest, aka someone come up with a better name, please, like the Bavarian Blowout, or Rapine with the Notorious Riff Raff. Please also state if you are, indeed, Sweet Polly Purebred.

So: below is a list of attendees. Please note the NUMERAL beside your name. That is the number of nights I believe you are attending. Some of us will arrive the 15th of October, but Devil's Night is October 16th (What? No superscript? Screw Perl). If the NUMERAL is wrong, please advise. Some are swags. If you are planning on staying with someone else, and will thereby free up a room, please advise. I apologize if I sound like I'm talking down to you. I'm not. I talking up to me.

Fortunately the Skilsaw accident only took three fingers, so I am able to count to 15 with confidence. That leaves one room, which is actually unfortunate, as I am sure I've forgotten at least 3 people. Now is your chance to take the cane to me.

If, indeed, I have captured everyone, though, we could always chip in and keep that last room for whatever nefarious purpose comes to mind. Like, for instance, running up the road and kidnapping He Who Must Not Be Named, and holding him in squalor for ransom. Gee, how much do you think Frank J would pay for him? Just a thought.

I have no doubt we'll use all these rooms, I'm just concerned I have the number of days correct, so I can release rooms to Babu and Vijay as necessary.

Thankee, Intrepids.

Post Scriptum: Daytrippers are certainly welcome. I expect Rankin' Rob from Rankinblog and Dave from Red Georgia Clay to make an appearance.

I'm actually heading in the 14th for reconnaissance. I'll attempt to find an amenable locale for a couple of dozen drunken braggarts. I'll post that info from wherever I can find a WiFi zone. If unsuccessful, the fallback position is the Beer Hall. That will be me in the lederhosen, singing the Horst Wessel song.

Update: It looks like Zonker at Thunder and Roses is in...
