Kyla, if your willing to pay for my flights and the room, I’ll be your roommate. Twisty, International Man-Whore. ---

It’s long, but scenic (just ask **thinksnow** ). Yeah, if you take Highway 1 or even US 101. But I-5 could cure insomnia. ---

Hell, sleep is for wusses. I just went through the Closing Night party for my show without sleeping for 48 hours. Although a place to stay may be a necessity, if I’m gonna be drinking (nobody minds getting booze for Mr. Underage, do ya?). ---

No worries, SPOOFE, I’ll keep the beer coming. And _my_ father isn’t a president of any country, so I can probably get away with it too. 🙂 ---

Hmmm. That might prove a bit too heavy, ample Grolsch for 40 thirsty dopers! I’m only allowed 20 kilos of luggage, you know. Would you guys be totally shocked if I just ordered the local brews to keep you happy? 😉 ---

Does anyone know if you can carry beer on the plane with you? I’m planning on bringing a 6’er of ice cold Fat Tire beer for my choicest friends to sample. ---

But I bet you ought to call first just to be sure. ---

Hey, would anyone like to offer Pricciar and I a spot on their hotelroom floor to crash on? Being a student assistant doesnt pay much (I get paid even less during the school yeah…half of what i get paid now), so i might not be able to afford a hotelroom of my own. ---

Beer, eh? Not my booze of choice, but I s’pose it’ll have to do. In either case, I’ll have to start saving up a good chunk of money for the festivities… maybe I should go back to my old prostitution job. 😃 ---

I had been a slacker, but now I’ve booked not one, not two, but **three** rooms at the Redondo Beach Ramada Limited. All three have two double beds, and I booked one of them as a smoking room (I can change this if y’all protest, but somehow I doubt I’ll need to). Right now, I’m figuring on the following room arrangements: Room 1 Me Padeye JimB Room 2 Mauvaise Scotticher Room 3 ??? I can cancel within 24 hours of check-in with no penalty if I need to. Depending on whether **SeaDiver** shows, I’m guessing **Kyla** and **boli** will either want to room with **SeaDiver** in the third room if she does show, or room with **Mauvaise** and **Scotticher** in the second room if she doesn’t. I’ll let y’all figure it out; just let me know. Also, **Pat** and **Doob** , let me know what you want to do. We can cram extra people into each room with blow-up beds as well. ---

Ok, I just booked a room at the ramada next to you, **Strainger**. Wooo! I want to go now! 😉 (He even gave me your Ramada club rate because I said I was your friend. lol) ---

Unless there will be other smokers, I won’t need a smoking room – I’ve quit! (hush – I mean it) Welcome back 🙂 ---

I just called and booked our room. I’m going to hide when the next phone bill comes in, but at least that’s been done 🙂 Apparently, because it’s a weekend, one room for two people is $70 a night, not $60. Unless I’m being ripped off.
