PAGAN-09 set-up

[PantyFanatic]

PAGAN-09 has been on the mind of many Pixies and it is time to set firm dates and a location. I first suggest we DO make a deadline for doing this and would like to make the end of this month that deadline. By 31 October 2008 (Halloween) we should have that much set in stone. How does that sound? :shrug:

[Lord Snow]

Sounds fine to me. Out of curiosity, where have the other PAGAN's been? I know about Nashville (I was there).......

[dicksbro]

The first Pixie get together was in Branson, MO and organized by Sugarsprinkles; the second was PAGAN 06 and held at Niagara Falls, Ontario. It was organized by PantyFanatic. Then was PIP 07 held in the Peoria, IL area (Morton, IL) and was organized by Dicksbro. That was kind of a fill in to bridge the gap from PAGAN 06 to PAGAN 08 when we expected OF and his bride to be able to be with us again. Last one, of course, was PAGAN 08 and it was held in Nashville and was organized by Scarecrow and Mrs. King :) .

One thought suggested for the next one (PAGAN 09) was at/near Holland, Michigan but that was only an idea and no organizer has stepped forward. Another suggestion was in the Baltimore ... central E. Coast area. But no one has volunteered to organize it. Usually it takes someone very familar with the area to scout out inexpensive accomodations (hotels) and "things to do." They don't actually have to live there, but, do need to be able to invest the reseach effort to line things up. Also needs to be sensitive to the distances the likely attendees would have to travel with their likely associated costs (more of an issue if gas prices jump any higher than they are now.

A Florida get together would also be a possibility, but, like with Michigan and Baltimore ... a "leader" needs to step forward.

Hopefully, we'll find someone willing. My Mrs. said that if worse came to worse, we could do another PIP-like get together in the Peoria area, but, want to give others a chance to bring folks to their neck of the woods first. Also, if this keeps going, it'd be nice to save return visits for a few years so a site doesn't get "old."

Does that help prospective organizers ... or just scare you off? I hope it doesn't scare anyone off. I'm sure all of us that have made it to "PAGAN" events would be happy to help with some of the planning and preparation as needed.

[dicksbro]

As indicated by Branson and Peoria get togethers ... the site chosen doesn't have to be a world leader tourist Mecca. At Peoria, there's 10 times more to see and do than what there was time for. Bigger cites, like Nashville, are great but not everyone lives in or near enough one to organize things there.

Smaller places have a charm of their own and the main goal of any get together is to meet and visit with friends we've come to know and care about through Pixies. :thumbs:

[gekkogecko]

Did I just get volunteered to organize this thing?

[dicksbro]

Nope ... just said for us to go somewhere ... someone needs to volunteer. Now, if you'd like to volunteer ... hold up your tail ... er ... paw ... er ... leg. Oh, heck, you know. :)

Then, if you do volunteer and want to, PM PF, Scarecrow or myself, we can tell you things we did to get ready.

[Lilith]

I'm saving myself for PAGAN '10 Vegas :D

[Lord Snow]

Well, by then I'll have family living in the Vegas area....though I'm not that fond him. He's one of the cousins I find annoying, but that's another story. I've wanted to Criss Angel live since I first saw his show Mind Freak. As for suggestions for '09.....with all that's happening in D.C. it might not be a bad idea if there's anyone that can organize it.

It scared me off of doing '09. :hair:

[PantyFanatic]

It's no secret that I will travel just about anywhere, any time for our gatherings normally, as my personal situation allows more flexibility than those with young families or seasonal work demands.

An important aspect, along with a willing sucker, .... I mean 'volunteer' :rolleyes2 as organizer, is trying to pick a location as central as possible for the most numbers of Pixies seriously interested in attending. Most Pixies that have attended once, seem willing to stretch that distance a little to anything affordable in time and $$$. If we want to make it appealing to new Pixies (get-together wise), we need to see that show of hands. I for one, would love to meet more of our members that have been active for years and become important to us all.

The other facet of date has narrowed itself, in my view, to being in the standard vacation season between US Memorial Day and Labor Day in spite of the cost difference. Because so many Pixies are involved in education, I don't see us able to take advantage of the out of season pricing but even early to mid June offers some saving and may be an option.

:2cents:

[Lord Snow]

Fortunately, time isn't too much of an issue for me. Trying to get time off in the holiday season can be a pain, but it is possible. Plus with my work schedule I can take only a few days off and get a week or so. Bama is in the same boat with me since we work for the same company just in different areas.

[gekkogecko]

Claw...lizards have claws.

At this point, my claw is half-raised...depends on how much other stuff in my life I end up having to organize in the next couple of months. I'll know about that in the next week or two. (Literally: I will know by the end of the second week, if not sooner).

[Booger]

I've siad it a few times in chat that I would be willing to have it here in Michigan. I was kind of waiting to post anything tell after the Scarecrows visted next week end. So I can pick Scarecrow brian a little bit while he's here.

[Teddy Bear]

I would be willing to organize a Pixie gathering in Rhode Island. Newport is great but it might be less expensive to stay someplace else and drive to things we want to see. You can get to most of RI in an hour or so..... 'smallest state' jokes aren't that far from truth. :D

I know one Pixie would love the Newport Jazz Fest. I will see if I can get the dates for that in 2009 and see if thats a good time to have the gathering. For a small state there is alot to see and do here. I'll put a list of major attractions together if anybodies interested. We're only 1 1/2 hours (apx) from Boston and Mystic Seaport & Aquarium in CT. are apx 45 min away. So that opens up even more.

'If I only had a brain' :roflmao:

Just follow the Yellow Brick Road to see the great and wonderful OZ.

[lizzardbits]

Mayhem and I are super eager to attend a PAGAN, any PAGAN, as for the last three Pixie events we have been in the UK. We are still wait wait wait wait wait waiting for Mayhem's paperwork to go through for his Visa/visa interview, but we are hoping to settle in the southern Minnesota area, however we have a new mini van and as some Pixies may recall, I love long road trips!!!

So, Michigan, R.I., Maryland, Vegas, Illinois, where ever sounds good to me

[Oldfart]

We're off . . . . . . . . . . to see the Wizard.

As was said so many years ago...

You'd have to be...

[lizzardbits]

ha--No dude, we want an American Express!

[Teddy Bear]

Here's the 2008 Newport Jazz-Fest site..... Some big names will be there. :D
I haven't found the 2009 dates yet.


http://www.festivalnetwork.com/events/details.php?ID=19




Lord Snow, yes it is great. I think it's better then the one in Boston. :)

[osuche]

I've been avoiding posting in this thread, because I'm not certain I can commit to being there next year. As many of you know, Mr Osuche is not a Pixies fan. We *might* not be together by PAGAN '09...in which case I am there :D But that's not possible to predict at this point.

I would recommend a couple of places, and I would be happy to help coordinate (ideally with someone more local). One would be the Leelenau Peninsula in Michigan -- we could do a winery tour, have a day at the beach, and see some other sights. It's pretty up there. The second would be Port Clinton, Ohio -- there's Cedar Point amusement park, wineries, a day at the beach, and a cool old lighthouse there. I have ideas where to stay in each place.

Speaking of lodging, I want to make a unique suggestion. I *LOVE* using vrbo.com for vacation rentals -- you can find large houses for rent at decent prices. If everyone was willing to share bathrooms, there would be easy social congregating spaces (living room, kitchen, porch/deck) AND you could save $$$. One other suggestion is that everyone could chip in to cook a meal or so together - which would save even more $$$. :) And cooking together could be fun!!

I did this set-up for a big family reunion in August and it was simply the best arrangement. Those who want to sleep, can...the rest of us took hikes, stayed up late drinking wine in front of the fireplace, and played games.

Here are some examples near Port Clinton:

http://www.vrbo.com/47763 -- $400 per bedroom ($200/person) for a WEEK (if you want to stay that long)

http://www.vrbo.com/19740 -- $76/bedroom/night!

http://www.vrbo.com/200183 - $125/night/room

[osuche]

Here's one near Traverse City:

http://www.vrbo.com/30499 -- $111/room/night

psst....it has a HOT TUB and foosball! ;)

[PantyFanatic]

.....Rock of Ages is all booked for summer '09 EXCEPT for five nights right after Memorial Day weekend --

:(

[PantyFanatic]

What a neat way for a Pixie gathering. :) That could be a good manner to do this regardless of the location. It would definitely require commitments with deposits, but could make it very affordable in a lot of ways.

[osuche]

Bummer! I missed ^^ that


psst....if you like the idea, there are cheaper, smaller places if people want to get together in groups and rent places.

also, VRBO.com has rentals in most US cities :)

[Airy]

As Pack and I have three small children and I don't know how well telling either of our parents that we are off for a few days of kink and who knows would help in the babysitting area I am not sure we would be able to make this event...that being said....

I would be happy to help whoever does step up to organize in research (regardless of city). So if someone does step up just let me know...you have my help!!

[Scarecrow]

osuche said the magic place, Cedar Point. :roflmao:

[PantyFanatic]

:wave: I know where that is.





;)

[Oldfart]

As was said so many years ago...

You'd have to be...

I loved the Wizard of Id.

[dicksbro]

:wave: I know where that is.

;)

You just like the thought of doing some island hopping and going to an Amusement Park. :boink:

[Lilith]

I know Scarecrow is a coaster junkie.

[Scarecrow]

:nod: ^^^

[Lord Snow]

Well, if me and Bama are both able to go, I want to get her on the merry go round. >:D

[Oldfart]

Ask Scotz about the SOFA.

[dicksbro]

Let's see ... we've got three possibles listed right now ... Baltimore, Rhode Island and Michigan. What are the chances (no commitment ... just a ballpark idea) that you could make PAGAN 09 if it were held at one of these locations ...

For us ...

Michigan is probably a 90% yes. It's by far the closest.
Maryland, my ol' home town was Baltimore, is probably around 60%
Rhode Island, furthest away, is maybe 50%.

Making a round robin and getting to all three ... :( ... probably not.

[Lord Snow]

Rhode Island would be more ideal for me since I have family in CT. Give me a chance to see them. I also have a family friend in Michigan, depending on where in Michigan we decide to go. Baltimore is closer than those two, but if I went that far, might as well go the rest of the way.

[osuche]

Michigan is the only likely choice for me, as I have family close by.

However, even at that there's only a 50% chance.

[BamaKyttn]

Well, if me and Bama are both able to go, I want to get her on the merry go round. >:D


young man, you're evil. and need a spanking. go to my room.



ya'll sure I'll be safe in yankee land?

[Lord Snow]

Us yankees don't kill and eat the southerners. We kill, package and then ship them south for you rebels to eat. LOL. You'll be fine. You'll think they talk funny, but that's about it, I can still translate.

[BamaKyttn]

as long as i dont hafta go up there when its cold!

[IowaMan]

I'm 50-75% for Michigan and unfortunately a no go for the others.

[gekkogecko]

OK, I figure if this is going to happen anywhere near my area, it's going to be because I make it happen.

So, yeah, I'm in. I'll start looking around for hotels & stuff: those of you I sent PMs to, please contact me at the e-mail addy I gave.

Plenty of places around here that would be suitable.

[PantyFanatic]

Yep, yep GG. Time to stir the fire of this thread if we are going to get close to setting dates and location this month.

We know ScareCrow ran a recon mission to the Michigan area. I've been looking for his report. Would more of our Canadian Pixies have interest if it were in a northern boarder state? :confused:

[Lilith]

There is nothing to say that you can not have more than one event in more than one locale.

[Coaster]

I know Scarecrow is a coaster junkie.

:yikes: Coaster Junkie!!


RI.... 98% chance
The other 2..... 50%

Osuche.... thanks for the vrbo!!!!!! There are many other times of year I can use that service! Mrs Coaster and My 30th is in 2009.... so maybe it's an excuse to splurge.......... oh and osuche... we owe you... you can stay with us!!! :thumbs:

[Scarecrow]

Hey that was just a vacation. I'm not hosting so I thought I'd let others throw there hat in the ring. But I could hang on the beach

[Booger]

For those interested in PIMP (Pixies In Michigan Playing) when would it work out better to have it for you late June, July or early August?

[Irezumi Kiss]

Let's see ... we've got three possibles listed right now ... Baltimore, Rhode Island and Michigan. What are the chances (no commitment ... just a ballpark idea) that you could make PAGAN 09 if it were held at one of these locations ...
Rhode Island would be a no-brainer for me. The other two are somewhat off my beaten path.

[dicksbro]

For those interested in PIMP (Pixies In Michigan Playing) when would it work out better to have it for you late June, July or early August?

Any of those times would likely be okay with us. ;)

[PantyFanatic]

There is nothing to say that you can not have more than one event in more than one locale.
You are 100% right on with that, my queen. :thumbs:

Actually I expected to see some of our western Pixies have a gathering after the fantastic experiences our first couple events proved to be. Distance is a real-world factor for all of us and the present uncertain times make it more so. Personally, I will continue to plan for the important things for me but know there are new considerations that could have more than normal impact to change them.

That said, I will continue to stash a regular few $$ into my Pixie bank for this coming year and I look forward to attending one of the location picked. Preference and practicality for me is late June but I am fortunate to have a flexible schedule.

Michigan- 90%
Baltimore- 65%
Rhode Island- 90%.

[Scarecrow]

I'm with DB on the times, when is the best time to take a swim at the beach :roflmao:

[lizzardbits]

bumping this... where and when? anything concrete yet?

[Booger]

I'm working on PIMP 09 I'm thinking either the weekend of 7/16 - 7/20 or the next week end 724 -7-28 in Holland, MI. I haven't got everything worked out with the hotel yet. I will keep everyone posted on the dates and hotels was I get things worked out.

[Oldfart]

Mrs OF says that we may (only may) be over for the second weekend, coincidentally just before Oshkosh across the lake.What the Oz dollar does between now and then will be a huge determinant.

[Scarecrow]

I'm with Mrs OF.

[Lilith]

You wish ;)

[Scarecrow]

Well Boogers trying to PIMP '09

[Navarre]

Maryland - 90%
RI - 60%
Michigan 40%

[PantyFanatic]

WELL! I'm glad to see something (anything) happening with this thread. :faint: So are we saying the event is tentatively for July 24-28 2009, in Holland Michigan? If so, I'm in for now. Maybe we'll have it set before Thanksgiving. :rofl:

[dicksbro]

July 24-28th sounds good to me and the chance of seeing OF and his bride is sure a plus. :thumbs:





One question, though, ...

does this mean we'd have to find another "Outback" restaurant? :confused:

:D

[Oldfart]

Nah, I'd rather have something edible.

[lizzardbits]

Alrighty then, when I start my new job back in the States, I'll be sure to ask for end of July off as seeing my other family is muy muy mucho importante!!!

I *think* I know the way to Michigan, lol!!!

[lizzardbits]

just thinking--Any good campgrounds near by for PIMP 09? Camping may make it more affordable for those of us who like it rugged, ;) :D

[dicksbro]

just thinking--Any good campgrounds near by for PIMP 09? Camping may make it more affordable for those of us who like it rugged, ;) :D

I'll let Boog and Soda be specific, but with Michigan being a big tourist state ... I've absolutely no doubt camping is available nearby. Holland is a tourist city in a tourist state. Unfortunately, the nudist resort near Battle Creek is up for sale since the owners are retiring. Not sure who will take over, but they certainly had campsites. :D

[Scarecrow]

:bump:


A couple of pics from the front of the Holland Best Western

[scotzoidman]

"Bears" a spooky resemblance to many places to stay in Gatlinburg TN.

Except that sometimes the bears in G-burg are real... :yikes:

[PantyFanatic]

Oh boy! Oh boy! :line:

I know Sharni will be trying to make it to THIS get together. :nana:

[dicksbro]

Was that bear or bare? :confused:

[Oldfart]

I suspect either's fine.

[AngelicVampires]

If Michigan is going to happen at the end of July or sometime in August, count me in. Although I will need someone to keep me informed some way other than the mighty Interweb since I don't have it at my apartment any more (kind of puts a damper on keeping up with what's going on online) :)

[PantyFanatic]

If Michigan is going to happen at the end of July or sometime in August, count me in. .....
Well Halloween has come and gone.:rolleyes:...... Thanksgiving evaporated into the mist.:rolleyes2 ...... MAYBE we can get an "ACTUAL STATEMENT" made by Christmas










.... 2008. :hair:

[dicksbro]

Hotel? Dates finalized? Panty pole to show which is PF's room? Details ... it's all in the details. :)

[Oldfart]

I remember, the secret signpost invisible to all but the trained Pixie.

[Teddy Bear]

To the Pixies who expressed an interest in 'PAGAN 09' in Newport, RI....

I felt it best to withdraw my offer to set it up in '09....

Not sure of a couple of things....

But thinking 2010 in Rhode Island would be great!!!

:D teddy :D

[AngelicVampires]

So...has the PAGAN '09 idea died? :(

[gekkogecko]

Oh, I pretty much stopped investigating possibilities around here, because I thought that Michigan had been pretty much decided on.

Was I wrong about that?

[AngelicVampires]

Not a clue...I've been waiting for an update on the info...

[Lord Snow]

I hate to say it, but money is to tight for me. No matter where it is I can't go.

[PantyFanatic]

Not a clue...I've been waiting for an update on the info...
You and a lot of other people. :mad: February is bearing down and we haven't heard a word. :argue:

[PantyFanatic]

:bump:



























:rolleyes2

[Irezumi Kiss]

Maybe a traveling bus can be rented out and everyone can do a cross-country Pixies "tour?" :thumbs:

[PantyFanatic]

What a neat idea. :nana: I wonder what the cost factors would be for something like that. Or maybe a week long train ride to cities of multiple Pixie directions. If coordinated correctly, Pixies could join for a couple days or try the whole trip. It would give good accommodation while traveling, night and day. We could spend a day or night at a particular interest and get to meet a lot more Pixies than having it a one location. That would be a good 10th Pixie Anniversary gathering. :D











Although :rolleyes: ..................................... We can't get 2009s gathering set up.



:rofl:

[AngelicVampires]

Oh dear...we don't seem to be making any headway for 2009... :(

[themi01]

ok how about the Jersey Shore I can almost guarantee no needles on the beach

[mercifulangel]

U folks just arent getting no closer to wv.

[Oldfart]

I can confirm that the Oldfarts won't be with you till PAGAN10.

[Lilith]

In Vegas ^^^^:D

Just say yes. You, me, showgirls' boobies, and gambling. You know you want to. :D

[mercifulangel]

My mountains cant compete w that lil

[Lilith]

I'm sure your mountains are lovely. The ones in your pics are hot too ;)

I am just looking for an excuse to go to Vegas. OldFart is the best excuse I know.

Lol vegas is too far for me. i like the mountains and ty.

[Oldfart]

I've run it past Mrs OF.

She said "Why not.".

You are a smooth talker Lilith.

[dicksbro]

Doesn't look like a Michigan get together in 2009 is very likely, does it?

[Lilith]

I've run it past Mrs OF.

She said "Why not.".

You are a smooth talker Lilith.

Now I have to talk Mr. Lil into it.

BTW I can actually hear her say "why not" in my head.

[Booger]

Sorry I haven't posted earlier I'm still working on PIMP 09 in Michigan. Was working on a deal that if it worked out would have real nice for lodging but that doesn't look like it will work out. So I've got to double check some thing with the local hotels and see who will offer the best deal. I'm hoping to have something posted with dates and prices by the end of this week or early next.



PS I'm wondering if the week end after the fourth (7/10-7/12) would be to soon or if the next week end (7/17-7/19) would work out better?

[mercifulangel]

curious how many active pixies do we have say near wv, oh, pa, and dc

[PantyFanatic]

:line:

I can go with either one that the others feel would work best for them. :thumb:

Either of those weekends would be great for me...as long as it's not July 4th I'm good.

[gekkogecko]

...as long as it's not July 4th I'm good.

Define "good."

[dicksbro]

Guess I didn't answer the question ... either set of dates would be okay. If it's the 17th to 19th we could all have some b'day cake. :)

In setting up the dates with hotels, you might even look at including the 9th or 16th for "rate" purposes. Always kind of nice to get there the day before. ;)

[AngelicVampires]

Define "good."

I can't really define that until PAGAN '09 happens ;)

[Scarecrow]

?????

[gekkogecko]

Scarecrow, you're not confused. You only think you're confused.

[PantyFanatic]

And you sure are not alone. :rolleyes2

[BIBI]

I think we should just go to PF's house and have him whip up some TV dinners! ;)

He can then take us on a tour of his panty museum.....I hear the gift shop is a hoot. Then we can embark on seeking out flying monkeys and take a wonderful cruise on his yacht( ;) )

What do you all think of that??? LOL

[dicksbro]

^^^^ Now THAT sounds like a plan. :thumbs:

[Scarecrow]

Needing to know dates to put in for time off.

[PantyFanatic]

I thought that was set. My calendar is marked off for July 17-19 . :shrug:

[PantyFanatic]

.....and take a wonderful cruise on his yacht
.....
:rofl:

How could I ever explain the Cuyahoga Moon? :roflmao: You'll have to come to PAGAN-09 to see that.

[dicksbro]

Who all is still interested in Holland, Michigan for 7-17 to 7-19.

Without checking any discounts (for # of rooms or AARP or whatever), Best Western has a nice looking inn in Holland but the rates are shown as $140+. The Best Western in Saugatuck just a few miles away are $76+ and looks very nice from the pictures on the net. Suspect both offer discounts of one form or another based either on the number of rooms or because of AARP/etc. discounts.

We really do need to start firming something up if we're going to do this. Otherwise, it looks like PF's house is going to be crowded (except for the times that we're at the Flying Monkey Bar).

:)

[Scarecrow]

I stayed at the Best Western in Holland ($140) last Oct and it is a very nice place to stay. It had entry from both inside hallway and out side on the first floor. That date is OK with us and the group discount is usaul about the same as the ARRP discount, but with the traveling public staying home we might get a better rate for a group.

[Scarecrow]

anyone else interested?????????

[Oldfart]

Sadly, not till '10.

[dicksbro]

Heck, Scarecrow, if no one is really interested in Holland anymore, maybe the Mrs and I and you guys will just have to make a day of it over at Allerton Park!

[Scarecrow]

Sounds good to me. Even if we do get together in Holland, Allerton Park is a nice way to spend a day.

[PantyFanatic]

I want to be there, but you are going to have to stand still. :hair:

[dicksbro]

Holding still!
http://monigold.com/images/allerton/adam2.jpg

Well, we're up to five people and three rooms it sounds like. Probably need a couple more rooms to get a discount, but Holland could still be a go. Watcha' think? Shall we just plan on Holland and hope we get the rooms? Do you want me to check there in Holland or in Saugatuck for the best deal?

[PantyFanatic]

That's what I have chiseled on my calendar. I have to go there to throw a javelin at somebody's ass.


I know of one more that is interested.

[Scarecrow]

Go for it DB, either hotel will be fine with us.



Just went and checked rates for the weekend 07/17/09 -07/20/09 and the one in Holland had the better rates using AARP/Senior.

[Booger]

Sorry everyone I've been dealing with a few personal problems since the beginning of this year and just haven't got anything done with it. Let me check out a few things to see if I can get a better deal with hotels.

[AngelicVampires]

I am still very interested in coming to PAGAN...I just need to know definite dates and possibly cost.

[PantyFanatic]

That part is finally nailed down, AV. It will be Friday thru Sunday, July 17-19.

Historically there are a lot of interesting options to do on a VERY flexible agenda and the one actual scheduled event of the dinner Saturday evening. We are all cheapskates (from the real world) and go for the best bargains available. You'll spend more going to an amusement park for a weekend and not have as much fun. ;)

[Booger]

Did a little checking around on hotels and found Microtel Inn and Suites (http://www.microtelinn.com)[/QUOTE] room range from $79 to $99 a night it's a new hotel and from everything I read it's a nice place. Would you be interested in something like this to save some money or go with Best Western for something you know?







PS they don't offer group rates unless you have 9 or more rooms so that most likely won't do us any good.

Senior discount or AAA discount looks like it's about 10%. With taxes, that brings the $79 rate (+ taxes) down to about $76 with taxes included. Sounds okay to us. :thumbs:

I'd say, let's go for it. PF, why don't you give some thoughts to a "Numbers" game we might try. And Boog, maybe you could check out local restaurants and see what might look good for our Saturday night dinner! :)

I'll take a stab at a PAGAN 09 logo and share it with you. :spin:

[dicksbro]

Okay, here's the first shot at a logo for the get together. Subject to change without notice. :)

Would also serve as our Name Badges (with the names added, of course. :) )

[Scarecrow]

Count us in. I would also like to have a Saturday lunch at the beach. We could do burgers and dogs or something like that. :nod:

[Booger]

This Bil-Mar Restaurant (http://www.bil-margrandhaven.com/index.php) is the restaurant I had in mind for the Saturday night dinner and I was also planning on lunch at Tunnel Park (http://www.co.ottawa.mi.us/ParksVI/Parks/tunnel.htm). I was thinking after Dinner we could walk around Grand Haven and then maybe check out the Musical Fountain (http://grandhaven.org/news-and-events/musical-fountain-schedule/).

[Scarecrow]

Tunnel Park, is that the first beach we went to last Oct.? IF so that will be a great place to go.

[Booger]

yep that the one Scarecrow

I have a pellet with that squirrel's name on it. LOL.

[dicksbro]

I have a pellet with that squirrel's name on it. LOL.

So does that mean you guys are in? :) Or, does the squirrel win by default? :(

[FlirtWithMe]

Okay, here's the first shot at a logo for the get together.Love the logo, dicksbro :thumb:

[AngelicVampires]

So would we be staying in Holland then for sure?

[Scarecrow]

So would we be staying in Holland then for sure?


Yes we will be staying at the Microtel Inn & Suites in Holland(link above), the dates are July 17 - 19. Some of us may come a day early and stay a day later. So anyone interested this looks like it is a go.

[PantyFanatic]

Exactly what he ^^^ said, AV. :nod:

My reservation is made for those dates and I was told that even while we can't guarantee a group of 9 or more rooms, they will try to give us rooms near each other if requested when making your reservation. For whatever reason, we have learned that trying to get 'clustered' under a group name seems not to work well for any of them. I spoke with a "Rose" actually in Holland (not a reservation center) that recommended requesting a location near a person is easier for them. She also recommended that due to July being the height of vacation season, reservation should be made by May 1st, especially if we want to get grouped near by.
You can PM me or any of the other Pixies with any detail questions.


:car:

[dicksbro]

We haven't yet, but expect to make the reservations in April.

[PantyFanatic]

BTW-

When I entered my search data and AARP from Microtel's reservation page (http://www.microtelinn.com/MicrotelInn/control/advanced_search?variant=), I they showed rooms at USD $62.10. :thumb:

[Lord Snow]

So does that mean you guys are in? :) Or, does the squirrel win by default? :(

Wins by default unfortunately. I don't even have the money to go up to Connecticut with my Dad next month. Sorry.

[AZRedHot]

Wow, a lot of catching up to do on this thread. Mr. AZRH and I will be in Wisconsin the week after, and just can't get the time off to do both. However, Vegas in 2010 might be very doable. Even driveable, for us. So we'll hold onto that hope.

Hope you all have extra fun for us! And then tell me aaaalllll about it. :D

[dicksbro]

Wins by default unfortunately. I don't even have the money to go up to Connecticut with my Dad next month. Sorry.

Rats. We were looking forward to seeing you guys again! Just take care! :thumbs:

[Mae]

Just a note...Vegas is in need of tourists. MGM shares have dropped 95% and most construction in town has ground to a halt. The big casinos are taking huge hits. Soooo....it might be a very good option should y'all decide Vegas is a go. Might be able to get a good deal on something there if you book early. Good luck!

[Lord Snow]

^^^^^^Makes me wonder if I should tell my cousin who plans on moving out there at the end of June........Nah, I feel like being mean to him. However, with a year till 2010 I'll see about getting the money together for it. Never know, I might win the lotto and decide to do a PAGAN in Jamaica or some other tropical island and fly all of us down there. We'll call it a business meeting for tax purposes. Better yet research and development. Make PF the case study. LOL.

[dicksbro]

... Better yet research and development ...

Hey! That should qualify you for a billion or two in stimulus money.

Shoot ... sounds like Pixies are going to have a great trip in store for us! :line:

[Lord Snow]

That's a lot of red tape to go through in just a few months though. Better get started on it for next year. What's great about making PF the case study is I already know the results will be inconclusive, so I will have to petition the government for more money to do further research into the matter. We could probably do several trips this way.

[dicksbro]

Good idea ... and good ideas should be encouraged. :boink:

[AngelicVampires]

Alrighty then...I will request those days off from work! :)

[dicksbro]

I think we're going to call up and make our reservations today! Then, we'll want to pick up the name tag holders and start making the name tags.

PF, will you get the "Event Engraving" for "The Colors" made so we can attach it there ... and, of course, the numbers game. (See this is your big chance to avoid more word games. :) )

We've got the special PAGAN souvenirs for the honored guests. ;)

[PantyFanatic]

I've got the numbers racket, I men game, covered. ;)

I don't have the Pixie Colors.:shrug: SOMEBODY DB else has them and SOMEBODY DB didn't make note they have them and SOMEBODY DB will have to get it to an engraver. :rolleyes2

I will be happy to make up the next Scroll that the next SOMEBODY will get and it will say.......

................
The Guardian of the Pixie Colors will note and post, somewhere in their profile or title, that they hold this esteemed duties.
................

:roflmao:

PM me and we can get that done. ;)

[Scarecrow]

Gee, I wonder who this 'somebody' is?????

[PantyFanatic]

:shrug:

[dicksbro]

Actually, someone from OZ won the competition ... but asked SOMEBODY local to hang on to them since he and his bride wouldn't be here in '09. ;)

That somebody is, of course, "Ol' Reliable" ... "Mr. Congeniality" ... or, as he's known in some circles ... the "Heartland Heartthrob." :yikes:

No doubt with that the secret is out. :D



Oh yeah ... RESERVATIONS MADE!

[AngelicVampires]

Ok...how does one make reservations? Are we under a group name at the motel or what?

[PantyFanatic]

My reservation is made for those dates and I was told that even while we can't guarantee a group of 9 or more rooms, they will try to give us rooms near each other if requested when making your reservation.

You can PM me or any of the other Pixies with any detail questions.

I called again today and actually talked to the same person. 'Rose' seemed to be aware of all our details and the phone number IS good and directly to the Holland location. Do make the note of the 'person' rather than the group.

So in other words make sure you tell Rose to save you a room as far away from PantyFanatic as possible.

You are right.









The longer it takes them to find the body the less likely I'll be convicted :D

Lol!!!!

[Scarecrow]

I just talked to Rose and made our reservations. We will check-in on the 16th and check-out on the 20th. And PF got the only suite on the first floor. So we will probable be on a different floor than PF. Must have my suite, LOL.

[dicksbro]

^^^^ ... nope, he got ours. We're on the third floor. This means his will be the meeting room and he'll need to have all the treats ready.

Right? :shrug:

[Scarecrow]

Rose said we would be on the third floor also. Maybe we will just leave him on the first floor by himself. :wink:

No they do not charge you until you either show up or you do not cancel the booking by 6pm local (Mich(EDT)) time of the day of arrival if you do not show up.

Yay I requested those days off from work and will make the reservations tomorrow.
