**Monster104** , I can assure you that **katiekilldare** and I are not sharing a room. I’m sorry if that ruins your sex-fantasy. 🙂  
Maybe we’ll be nextdoor to each other, and you can take turns between the two rooms. Or something.

Oh year…what kinda candy do you want Monster?

**Woodstock** - Mr Fran and I are arriving Thursday night (probably around 10/11pm though, and very letjagged). If I can struggle out of bed in the morning, can I come with you to pick up Katie?

**Strainger** booked our room, so I don’t know which room we’re in.

24 days!

No problem, hon. Although if you’re going to be wearing something low-cut like in your LJ picture, Mr. Fran might have to find his own ride.

Okay, just so I don’t have to search through the entire thread, **when and where?**

El Torito on the Redondo Beach Pier? What date? What time?

</div>

Well, as far as I can gather it will be somewhere on October 20th?

Add me to the Definites list, thus ending all the speculation about “Is Tretiak coming?” "Why hasn’t Tretiak responded?’ and “Umm, who is Tretiak?” Could someone, though please post something somewhere saying all that is planned. If they want I can put something like an itinerary up at my website, including a “sign-up” sheet, if it is so desired.

A little more sweet-talking got us a reservation for **50 people at 6:00PM on Saturday. El Torito at the Redondo Pier (100 Fisherman’s Wharf, for those who will need to look up driving directions).** I know it’s still a bit on the early side, but I think we can manage. **(The reservation is under the name Cecil Adams, FYI.)**

Hey, I’ve just reserved a room at the Ramada. Two beds, supposedly sleeps four. Two spots in the room are already spoken for (including me), but if you’d want to room there, just shoot me an email.

P.S. I’m going to shower sometime in the month of October, so you’d better to. That’s about the only pre-req. No one will be discriminated against on the basis of gender (unless you have really hairy manboobs. Ick.) Fuck, I hate it when my P.S.'s get longer than my main message. I suck.
