Would be a shame if we didn't do it because some can't even drink responsibly enough to drive a mile and a half to a hotel if they want to stay over. Call a cab!

Can you have the cab at my house about 5:00? I may want to make a stop or 2 on the way down there.

Funny how most of us will walk 3 miles for a fish but won't walk 1 to possibly not take a life(s)... Or find a DD


with that said we should say we are from SOL

Yeah,
I'm going to try to stay across the street and have Matty book the room. I have nothing to say about last year, except I booked the rooms under my name. Last time I do that.

As Matty is and ex-ninja Army Ranger that wouldn't show you his ID unless someone made him...I think I am safe.

Seriously, though, if there is an issue, cabs are the way to go. Best investment in the world. I say the 25th.

Later,
Rick

And by the way, they may have license pix on file...or maybe even some sort of scanned image, but there is no way that a little, independent hotel has enough $ to pay for some sort of facial recongnition software...they might get a hit on your name...maybe...but not the face.

If I was hosting in my house? yes - maybe. But this is at a hall, with a bar run by the hall with a hotel across the street. plus several DDs. Optimal? No. Sufficient? Maybe. Legal? Yes.

This has become a stupid azzed discussion. If you need an excuse to get chit house, go do it the night before and show up at this event feeling like crap. Besides being a get together, it is a fundraiser for the site. If you think getting drunk is more important than helping maintain the site, you are going to have a problem with me... and a few others here as well, I'd bet. Don't need MPs, we can police our own. You want to get chitfaced, go somewhere else. You have a problem with booze, get some help. You can PM me if you want to go down that road.

I'm checking my scout schedule now. I cannot do TFCTFN on the same days as Plugfest or a show. Tried it once and it was tough...

I live no more than 10 minutes away from the VFW, if guys need a ride to a hotel/motel up the street -- I'll drive.

The calendar at the VFW is all booked up, looks like we have to skip this year



Ok, only kidding but it could be true because we don't know what dates others have booked for the coming year at the VFW.
