Geneapalozza: A Celebration Of All Things Gene

Woot!, Now that the new slimline Tyll will be in the house, does that that make the meet officially not only epic but in the words of Jeremy Clarkson

"Positively Biblical"

Hmm, Tyll, Peter, and a nearby strip club; What could possibly go wrong?

Wish I could make it to the meet so I could give you a ride like this in my Atom (which is a 300, much faster than the 205 that Clarkson was driving in that video).

Hey Thursday arrival guys, what time is everyone gonna get to Tampa? I'm gonna go ahead and book my flights in the next day or so.

I imagine that Grahame and I probably will get in around 9pm or so, factoring in picking up the car and the drive from MCO.

I'm gonna try to go see Jerry Harvey either before or after the weekend, so not sure of my exact schedule yet. But my intention is get there early and stay late.

I was going to talk to him about this also, probably for Monday, since Grahame and I have to drive back to Orlando to fly out anyway.

Sounds like a good recipe to me!

Did not know that Wayne. All the more reason for Matt and I to go hijack it.

Google Maps indicates it adds only another ~50 miles / 1 hr to our return journey if we go TPA->JHA->MCO rather than just TPA->MCO

Of course if Jerry could bring himself and the Harvettes to the meet in Tampa?

[jp11801]

Spoke to Jerry today and he is likely for the gathering in tampa

[boomana]

and yay to Tyll coming!

[Fitz]

sweet

[NightWoundsTime]

I'm not sure that Tampa is ready for Tyll.

Also, I'd pay money to have a recording of Grahame's face whilst riding in the Atom (with Wayne driving). That would be a fitting payback to our own uncomfortable documentary shots.

In.

Audio too.

Step on it Wayne.

Alright guys.

I will be booking my hotel days, joining you guys Friday night (as I have to work). I want to know, though, if there will be activities late Sunday night, as this will determine whether I check out on Sunday or Monday.

[tyrion]

Alex, I'm pretty sure there are a group staying until Monday so I'm sure you wouldn't be alone.

[MexicanDragon]

SO, I'm leaving out Monday morning, early, so you're staying til Monday.

**BRENT**

[guzziguy]

A lot of us are staying until Monday so there definitely will be something going on, even if it's impromptu.

[Grahame]

Ho Hum.

Tried to book a 2 Bd Suite via the website for Thursday->Monday.

Computer Says No - unsuccessfulSell.

Tried using the telephone to talk to a real human being.

1) Number gene listed has a transcription error, correct number from their website (under phone numbers dropdown) is 1-813-877-7988

2) Spoke to a real human being (Not Sarah) who said Computer Says No deal is only on 1Bd's for those dates.

I suggested thanks but no thanks, I'll speak to Sarah directly, when she is in during the week.

Hopefully it will all be resolved then.

CJ is looking for a floor. The suite has a floor.

The 2Bd suites have a sofabed - This might work for Tyll - Even if he does want me to take a life enhancing ride as a passenger in an Atom

[screaming oranges]

I booked Friday check-in thru Monday check-out under code heaheaa and it got accepted (code heaheab doesnt accept monday, as previously stated).

I will be arriving 9-ish on friday NIGHT.

Brent (Mexdragon), Colin (cetoole), Ari (nikongod), and/or Scott (manaox) have preference in case of crash-in. Anyone else is welcome to come in.

Im also bringing an inflatable bed for someone to use, which is more comfortable than the floor. If you require inflatable dolls, you can't sleep in my room. Sorry.

@ Mike (Tyrion): I really like your avatar, the mustached dude... reminds me of mr moneybags.

NOTE: Apparently, Justin might have my BHSE ready for the meet, in which case, my room will house the BHSE as well as the Balancing Act I'm bringing along for anyone who actually still wants to listen to gear.

[screaming oranges]

BTW, I charge a beer or two for anyone who crashes in.

Just sayin'...

[MexicanDragon]

Dibs on the bed w/my snuggle bunny SO.

Re: Beer - Just tell Colin that you're me and he'll buy you a beer. He can't tell brown people apart.

My daughter just called to say that she heard someone in the know that she was just voted in to Blur Key at University of Florida which is pretty cool but means that I miss Saturday night. I may try to get in on Thursday night, instead of Friday. I will have to see how things go.

[crappyjones123]

Congratulations to you and to your daughter mike. Blue key is big stuff

[agile_one]

Just off phone with Residence Inn rep, and the online reservation system will now accept Thurs, 12/9 checkins and Mon, 12/13 checkouts for us. Just follow instructions in Post 131 http://www.head-case.org/forums/meets/9006-florida-december-no-cocktail-meet-tampa-12-10-12-13-a-17.html#post403347

Grahame, and others, thanks for your patience, and, yes, I've tested this and it works.

In the unlikely event anyone STILL needs a plane ticket jet blue is having another 1 day sale.

Would have been just the ticket if it was available to TPA from RDU.

[NightWoundsTime]

just looked up rdu to tpa. $200 roundtrip is still pretty reasonable.

I agree, just not sure that I have the extra money I can sanely spend for that and other expenses in December. I couldn't leave before Friday afternoon and would have to be back Sunday evening as well for work which is making it tough to convince myself.

[tyrion]

I just picked up tickets on JetBlue, FLL to RDU for $176 for the weekend before the meet.
