Pixies Play in Peoria
For Pixies thinking about coming to Peoria in August (10th - 12th ... although you're free to come earlier or stay later  ), what would you like to see in the way of hotels ...
Tell me what's important to you. I've put together a list of 20+/- hotels that are all possible with prices ranging from < $70 to > $ 120. Much depends on what you'd like ....
0-3 Star rating
Pool
Breakfast
Parking
Restaurant
All will be pretty close to everything. The riverside picnic; restaurants, river cruise on a stern wheeler, gambling boat, sites, etc. All will be within 10-20 miles of the Wildlife Prarie Park (I even checked on staying there, but we're a bit late to get reservations). Sunday brunch there is still a possibility if there's interest.
Let me know and, if you don't mind, give me your email addresses and home addresses. Email for bits of ongoing information; and, mailing address for a packet of goodies we'll mail to you before your trip here.
If you make airline reservations to Peoria, let us know when you'll be arriving and my wife and I will pick you up (unless you're going to rent a car at the airport).
Anyone on the fence about coming, but, who would like information on the hotels or sites or anything else about the get together ... send me a PM or email.

Do you still have my info, if not let me know. We'll be there in the morning of the 10th and stay till the afternoon or evening of the 12th. As to the hotel it does not matter, what ever the others think is best for them. (I'm easy)

You are a miraculous wonder (((((db)))))!
Was talking with PF a few days ago and told him I hadn't even mentioned the Peoria union as of then. Mr. Lixy and I had already picked the week of July 4th and the following Monday as our first vacation week this year. We usually try for that time every year. Last year was the only time we relented to another employee of his due to extenuating circumstances.
Anyway...I can't see a window for this years get together...*weeping*
Mr. Lixy has lost his top blaster recently (man on the totem pole just below him) and is overwhelmed with trying to keep the company afloat with just 3 other blasters. All of which have no real OTJ experience except to assist.
Unless his boss comes out of "semi-retirement" and gets his head out of the sand and off of his yacht and starts to help out...and/or the boss's son gets out of the office and away from the computer to lend a hand...Mr. Lixy is fucked as far as taking off so soon after the July 4th weekend!
I don't have a problem with the time off...but I ain't going anywhere without Mr. Lixy!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I don't wanna miss another get together!
I'm keeping my eye on his work and I ain't giving up just yet. I just can't confirm anything now. I'm leaning towards no...but yes isn't totally out of the question.
Wanna consider Pa. Dutch country instead?
Bring a tent...k?

We could tell Mr. Lixy's boss it's just a Blowers convention.

After that, clean sheets and LOTS of hot water will make it work for me.
