Ahhhh,
I think we may need to find a new venue next year. The hotel people were PISSED at me for the fire extinguisher antics (that I missed)....We'll see if they charge me the $100 for the cleanup! Hope you weight room kids had fun (I hear you did).
Oh well,
I also find it strangely ironic that the one year I don't get F'd up, I get charged!

Cost an extra 50 bucks for disturbance and clean up fees. The girl at the desk was really nice, but did say we may not be welcome back next year. This was my first TFCTFN and the venue was great maybe we can sneak in again next year, just use different names on the cc cards. It was a great time. Thanks for everyone who did the work. looking forward to it next year.

i went to check out as well and she says' i see u were part of that group of ruffians were u part of the shannangans? i laughed and said unfortunately no my girl became ill and i was in my room when the fire trucks showed up. she said well to bad u didnt get to enjoy the extra $50 charge on your card, but we are reviewing the film and if we place the face u will be credited back. think this was the first i was ever charged and i was sober! oh well was an absolute awesome time lookijg forward to wetting somelines with everyone this coming year!

She didnt mention anything about a rebate or any videotape to me. I did however enjoy a delicious breakfast of bacon, cinnamon rolls and coffee. She laughed when i asked were to get breakfast, and told me i better get my 50.00 dollars worth.

Yowzeers.....finally back on an even keel.
GREAT time last nite........our room looked like Charlie Sheen had been stayin there........Was that him that knocked on our door at like 3 this mornin???????Weirdo.

It was awesome being able to put faces to names and finally gettin to meet some of the folks on here that I have always wanted to meet--Excellent turn out.
Thanks to all that put it together.....gonna go spool up my mono now.......

Thanks to all who put on a great evening! The food, the company, the slideshow, the awards and raffle were all excellent!

I don't know if I got charged the extra $50 on my card? I called down to the front desk before leaving and they said I didn't need to do anythng to check out.

had a great time what the hell happened at the hotel?

Seems like two :smash: heads thought it would be fun to squirt each other with a fire extinguisher in a small room filling it with the dust thus setting of the fire alarm. I assume the 50 fee is to cover the false alarm and cleaning of the room.

Tell your wife my nipple still hurts.Also thanks for grabbing my phone and stuff.:)

John, did the treadmill get you?

No, I wiped out chasing the Aquatic Donkey in the hotel parking lot.
How fast was the treadmill going for the challenge? There was no way I was getting on that thing in the shape I was in. It's too bad the fire extinguisher went off. There was barely any time for fitness room hijinks.

Ouch. I lasted about 3 seconds on the treadmill. Have some gnarly rash from my hand slipping onto it when it was going at lightspeed :smash:

Rick if they charge you let me know I will kick in for that even though I didn't start it. :uhuh::devil2::smash:

John definitely a blast from what I remember. :wall:

That was my first and I had a blast. I was a little bummed that the gym antics ended so abruptly.:smash: Nice to finally meet a few of you guys (and girl).. That raffle was awesome.. I finally have a sebile now .. Betcha 5$ I pop it off first cast :buds:

Timmah, I will take half of what you owe say $25 in vinyl lol. I got wacked as well with the 50.

Did you call the hotel, Casey? They'll remove the charges since if they have video (like they claim to have), they'll clearly see that you didn't do it.

I still haven't checked to see if they charged my card, but there's no way I'm paying for it.

I called on Monday,she states that the video is at security for review,if they/we see you in the video the $50 is ours.
Therefore you are guilty by association,thats bullchit!
She wants us to rat out who ever did it:devil2:

They have no idea who is who anyways, thats why i cant see getting 50 bucks back. I did look around for a camera and didnt see one.

5/0's right. I called last night because nothing was mentioned to me about them adding anything to my bill when I checked out. The woman who answered was the one who checked most of us in on Sat. and said that they were matching up the copies of our licenses to the people in the video. I told her to have the General Manager call me today, so we'll see how that goes. There's no way I'm paying anything to them because I was standing in the room when it happened.

Why don't the donkeys who caused this step up and offer to cover the costs here?My 14 year old is accountable for his miscues why would an adult try to duck and let the whole group pay for their "accident"?

About to call back now. 50 bucks is gonna put my truck back on the road! :D

i agree

They have cameras in all the hallways. There was a camera right as you leave the gym on the left. I don't believe there was one inside. My opinion is we were all there a little intoxicated. The hotel had to go through the bullcrap of having their fire system set off disturbing other guests. They also had to be accountable for the cleanup and to the fire department. I didn't set of the fire extinguisher but still feel guilty by association and hopefuly we get to stay there again. John, if you hear from the manager I would like to know what happens. I just feel like if we all call there bitching we won't be allowed back at all.

I wasn't happy to pay the 50 bucks but the girl at the checkout counter and i had a good laugh about it. She said it was likely that we would not be allowed back. I was under the assumption that our names would be sort of blacklisted in the computer. I would like to be able to stay there again next year. It seems like the perfect venue for the event.

I've have always been guilty by association:jump1:and honestly I don't see myself or anyone eles who used there CC to reserve a room there welcome back anytime soon:devil2:

But I must admit it was a good time & lot's o laughs my head was hurtin till Monday:smash:

Casey, I spoke to the hotel GM yesterday and she basically said that the charges are for the "disturbance caused by our group" and the fitness room incident. Apparently there was someone outside our rooms snickering at the GM when she came upstairs to quiet things down at 3am. Three people checked out because our group was so loud, too. I can't believe I slept through the loud partying and guitar playing. She said to check back next week after they've had a chance to match the surveillance video to our license photos, but it sounds like we're all stuck with the charges if they saw us on video. And she said we're all on a list and are banned from the hotel until further notice. She was pretty nice about it, though.

Eff her!!!:fury:I'm glad my name wasn't on the books this year.AJ's pissed,Chuck was pissed.I'd be pissed too.
I bet that threatening to call the local chamber of commerce/bbb,might get ya somewhere.Here in Amerika,we don't use corporal punishment.

She was PISSED. She was trembling and shaking when she was yellin at me out in the hall---I felt like my mom had cuaght me lookin at daddy's dirty mags..............And I was still across the street getting yelled at by the bar tender for walkin in with my own beer in my hand when it all happened...........Next year lets have it in Vegas........Every thing is legal there

Lets let it die down and then send a letter of apology on RISSA's letterhead offering to pay even more

So,we could bring sheep?:smash:

Are you guys proud of yourselves?

If this was a jury trial and the choice was between 1st Degree and 2nd Degree uproarious behavior.......you guys would be hung by a rope extending from the yardarm while walking the plank!:gh:

No don't even think about a hung jury.....or time off for good behavior....:rotf2:

:uhuh:

Talked to the manager yesterday, said she saw me on the tape. Told her it was bull, cause I don't even know where the room is where this all went down. This is nuts.

Yeah,,,,Welcome to da club,Guilty by association:grins:


5/0

I think we have to find another place next year. The Hotel doesn't like us anymore. The VFW guys are not thrilled with the folks bringing their own beer and drinking outside on the stairs.
We are persona non gratia in Fairhaven. Let's move it to Newport or Porsmouth or even Narragansett. It's a long ride for me no matter where we have it so I don't care.

How about the biker bar in Bourne across from the Railroad Bridge? I see fights there all the time.:rotf2::rotf2:

This VFW has seen worst from the locals so I don't see any problem with them in the future.
The problem is the Seaport motel next doorl. There are few motels within a 1 mile and more within 2 miles of the Fairhaven VFW. Also the motels and hotels in this area are likely the least expensive in all of MA and RI.

That VFW post saw a stabbing outside of it a couple of years ago. They almost lost their liquor license as a result. But, I guess the culprits didn't bring in their own beer, so that was OK.

Next year, book some rooms at some quality joints in Dartmouth, like the Moby #^&#^&#^&#^&, the Capri, or the King's Inn. :rotf2:

I have been a bartender since 1974 ( and boy have I got stories to tell ) in addition to many other things. Now I just do functions as needed.

It's a tough job, I am responsible for the sobriety of the room. I can't let anyone leave drunk, regardless if you are driving or not. It's hard enough controlling an all out hootenanny, but when you bring in your own stash c'mon.

I had a bunch of guys sitting at a high top whistling down some bud light cans, we don't sell cans. So I walk up to them and they have a 30 pack in a cooler under the table. I say " What the F*** ! Do you guys bring sand to a beach ? Grow up, put that back in your car, come back in and drink like adults. "

Act like you've scored a touchdown before.

Plus, it's not like that VFW post charges an arm and a leg for a beer. I paid $3 for a 12 oz Stella Artois. I imagine that Bud and Bud Lite were about $2 a bottle.

People hav ebeen bringing in thier own there since we have been having the TFCTFN there, and this is the first year it was a problem. So next year we don't do that.

I would be careful about what anyone does about the $50.00 charge. I am wondering if the Fire Dept. could jump in on this one and charge you guys as well.

the fire department can not charge the group but they can charge the person or persons involved. or if it was in a room they can charge the renter of said room


also there is nothing listed in there terms and conditions on the website about the charge, unless the person that set this up was informed of the charge they can not legally charge everyone.

So if I understand what you are saying, you want the hotel to state in writing that "if you have a fire extinguisher fight you are going to pay fire said fire extinguisher".:smash::fury:

I don't think we should force the issue. We've had fun in their the past few years, doubt they will let us back - even if on a leash.

not exact verbiage but if a place is going to to charge people or groups these fees, it has to be disclosed somewhere.

this is why i dont partake in the TCTFFF events. :smash:


why dont the guys who were stupid enough to discharge fire extinguishers step up to the plate and refund everyone else the money they had to pay to the hotel to compensate your play time??

Would you prefer that they file a criminal complaint for malicious destruction of property over $250, which is a felony, instead of just assessing clean-up costs? Believe me, they would have every right to.

IMO the culprits here are getting off way too easy. $50 while hanging everyone else in the group out to dry?

Most people outgrow this type of behavior after their sophomore year of college. :doh:

You know, when you get tossed outa Fairhaven, you've hit the apex. You just can't beat that.:rolleyes:

Maybe rename the event "Rookie Fest" for next year?:rotf2: With no S-B affiliation attached! Children must play I guess?:smash:

This BS reflects poorly on S-B as a group!

Aren't the culprits "30 somethings"??? That must be their IQ!:rotflmao:

You know, when you get tossed outa Fairhaven, you've hit the apex. You just can't beat that.:rolleyes:

Not true, you've hit the apex when they won't let you leave. Heh Heh heh.

There's a brand new Fairfield Inn in New Beige near the docks, if people need a place to stay next year.

Not that my opinion matters but if it were me that did something stupid while drunk, I wouldnt let my friends have to pay a dime for it.

Can't wait for next years TFCTFN

Alcohol makes Everything seem like a Good Idea

I'm thinking the responsible parties don't consider a lot of people on this site their friends. Otherwise they would man up and take responsibility themselves.

This part of my logic...
I did that #^&#^&#^&#^& when I was in college and lived to tell about it. no sense getting caught up in that kind of #^&#^&#^&#^& again!

Not true, you've hit the apex when they won't let you leave. Heh Heh heh.

That place is one year old,multi storied and sharp looking.I fixed three of there AO Smith cyclones
H2o heaters before it even opened.

But as for the fifty bucks they can keep it,I'll let it die down(even thou we still won't be welcome next year)had a good time lots of laughs well worth it:gh:
