Heckle n Jekyll
Time to play admin ho and get some things out of the way.
I originally booked 17 suites and 5 rooms at the Day's. Why? Because that's what they had, damn it, and they promised to overlook our foibles and fetishes. Now stop interrupting me. Quit playing grab ass back there.
To date we have 13 suites and 3 rooms booked. That leaves, by Excel formulae, 4 suites and 2 rooms. These are held until March 15th, I think. That is also bail date, should your olfactory senses and extrasensory perception scream BAD IDEA. Smoke 'em if you got 'em, and book 'em if you want 'em.
Another thing: if you're flying into Jax you may want to forward your arrival time to me. I'll post them and you can get with similar arrivals for carpooling if you desire. I may run a ferry trip or two that day, if I'm feeling magnanimous. But I'm liable to be hungover, and surly, so you'd better check with me first and attempt a bribe of some sort if you want to ENSURE I'm there.
One more thing: whoever stays in the room next to me better not mind the sound of the lash, or my repugnant whimpering afterward. I snore a lot, too. That's just the way it is.
Out.
.. as far as I know, Vikki put you next to me.. I hope the sounds of gunfire don't bother you too much during the whippin'... then again, knowing you, the combination will send you to some sort of Phnom Phen Valhalla...

Posted by: Velociman at February 15, 2005 7:58 PMFreaks. Will there be a pool boy there?
Posted by: sadie at February 15, 2005 9:05 PMI'M the fucking pool boy. Or the pool elder. Depends on your vantage point. I will be answering to "Mr. Miagi".
Posted by: Velociman at February 15, 2005 9:28 PMNow tell me again, how hard is it to get cuffs through airport security? not to mention the unmentionables...
And, ummmm, my traveling companion and I have dibs on a rental car and should hit Jax around 1:40 p.m. Friday if someone wants to hop a ride over with us.
Posted by: Christina at February 15, 2005 9:48 PMDon't worry about cuffs through airport security. I keep a set in my desk drawer. Not the comfy fur-lined things, either. The You've Been Bad kind.
Posted by: Velociman at February 15, 2005 9:53 PMSomebody make sure Catfish has a ride. His attendance is imperative!
Posted by: Key at February 15, 2005 10:20 PM(Yes, it was an effort to refrain from a cuff comment. I MUST say though that it is the safety release option, and not the fur option, that truly separates the good from the bad and the ugly...)
Posted by: Key at February 15, 2005 10:24 PMHey! My cuffs have safety release! Ask Flynny. She got free in about 15 seconds. Dammit.
Posted by: Velociman at February 15, 2005 10:27 PM...how disappointing. ; )
Posted by: Key at February 15, 2005 10:35 PMArriving in JAX on Friday at 11:38 a.m. I'll be the guy wandering around carrying a guitar case and looking for a saloon.
Posted by: Jim - PRS at February 15, 2005 10:41 PMThey have suites? Hmmmm...I might upgrade if I have just a room. Me likes me space. I've no idea what I reserved, actually. For all I know, I'm sleeping in the maid's closet. That could be fun, though.
Posted by: zonker at February 15, 2005 11:28 PMCatfish is riding with me and we're booked in a ground-floor suite so we can crawl back to the room if we have to. Too much totin' took place in Helen with all those stairs.
I got toted, too.
Posted by: Acidman at February 15, 2005 11:53 PMDuct tape people. Duct tape.
Damn, I'm sorry I can't be there! It sounds like a good time. Lots of pictures, you hear?!?!?
Posted by: Candy at February 16, 2005 12:28 AM... I am on the second floor... better safe than sorry... with all of us in one place, a tsunami is likely... God will not stand for this much longer...
Posted by: Eric at February 16, 2005 5:41 AMI'm on the second floor, and I'm bringing a rope ladder. Just in case we have to make a fast exit...like we almost had to in Athens.
Can't be too prepared.
Posted by: Sam at February 16, 2005 12:43 PMIf anybody needs a ride, let me (us) know. We're a hop, skip and a jump away. Same goes for lodging if you come in early.
Hey...can I be the official photographer? Since I've never met anyone, it'll be a good way to introduce myself.
.....and provide some blackmail data for the future but there's no need to discuss that now....
Posted by: Moogie at February 16, 2005 3:25 PMSo, are there any rooms left at this late date? Would y'all mind if I joined in?
Posted by: candy at February 19, 2005 7:20 PMChristina invited me! I'll call Monday for a room....also I'll be driving. I have room for 3 flying into Jville. Just let me know.....
Posted by: Tammi at February 19, 2005 7:57 PMOk, I'll be there. I'm driving from N.C., if anyone wants to ride, coming in Friday.
