Okay – time to report what I can decipher from my notes! We started on Friday night, meeting for dinner. We went to a local place, driven by the charming shuttle fellow from the hotel. Valerie made arrangements with him to drive our group the next night (little did he know what lay in wait… bwahaha!) Dinner was pleasant and we were all getting acquainted and catching up. We were about ready to leave when Omni arrived and decreed there would be drinking. So it was said, so it was. One drink at the bar, and then a stop on the way home for more supplies.
Back at the hotel, it was determined that I was the only actual guest who had a smoking room – so that’s where we went. Omni was being his boisterous self, or as Valerie phrased it “the designated jackass.” He seemed to take that as a compliment! The choices in drinks were minimal. I had succumbed to something called “Raspberry Merlot”, which turned out to taste much like Hawaiian Punch. Elelle did a test, and commented “it’s got that bog ol’ family-style bouquet.” It did the job, though – we had to point out to her later that it would pour better with the top off.
Stories of college and roommates were shared. A favorite was when Valerie told of us about the gal who would get up early and go to have “a healthy, nutritious Wisconsin-ass breakfast.” Alphagene told us of his rooms only decoration: a larger than life Sharon Stone poster. I should probably leave nameless the person who exclaimed: “I could masturbate to that!” (Donations to help mu conscience are always accepted.) A funny moment was when elelle told Omni “you’re pretty lucid” after most of the booze was gone! Eventually most people left, except for the other two unescorted redheads (Falcon was working on the “cutest couple” award, and we all forgave her!) We turned out to have more in common than could reasonably have been expected! It was late when I tossed them out, and they proceeded to have a slumber party that lasted most of the night. (No, I don’t have details…)
“Morning and evening was the second day.” I got up late, but found elelle and Cristi in the lobby, getting ready to go into the city. As we were leaving, we were approached by a vision in creative hair and bright colors: Rubes, sans Mohawk! He joined us for the trip and, as he reported, learned a great deal hanging out with three redheads for an afternoon. Actually, I have to commend his patience with us. We were looking for Buddy Guy’s club, but found the House of Blues instead. We found the Redhead Piano Bar, and had to stop for photos. I hope they come out… especially my pose with the signs: “the redhead opens at 7pm nightly.” “Proper attire required.” It was at this point I was declared the alpha redhead, a position I am proud to hold! The traffic cone that matched Rubes pants was another shot we could not let go by.
Back to the hotel for some “power primping” to get ready for the official gathering. While we waited for the shuttle, elelle told me Omni had just said “I’m a little drunk.” He was ahead of the rest of us! Valerie was organizing us, so that someone would keep track of the time we wanted to return. Flypside had a watch and said he would take care of it. Omni chimed in, saying he would take care of timekeeping. Flyp responded “what are you gonna do? Steal my watch?” Getting everyone in the van was a trick, and we resorted to using the truck space. Sucellus was the perfect gentleman, asking Valerie “would you like the tire?”
The bar has been described; perfect Hawaiian cheesy. The waitress or, as Inertia called her, “the drink Nazi” was very old, possessive of her menus and dressed in the definitive muumuu. Elelle decided when she was older she would come back and work there – the perfect job. Even with a seven-page drink menu, Inertia had to make a special request, writing it on a napkin for the bartender. We discussed the worst things we’ve had to drink, and elelle won hands down when Flypside reacted “I’ll set myself on fire any day, but I wont drink a tuna daiquiri.”
When we noted that there was no room for dancing, Cristi said, “Maybe we should just stick to lap dancing.” The idea was accepted by acclamation! The lamps in the place gave us a whole new perspective on “blue balls” and caused more than one injury. Some of the drinks came in fancy glasses, the favorite being what we call “the puking idol.” Even though Kat drank the same thing all night, the waitress never seemed to connect the two. The waitress also came up with beer she couldn’t recall who ordered. Uncle Beer to the rescue: “I will drink one if you have a spare.”
Inertia caught some other patron scratching, leading to a lecture on butts as a whole (pun unavoidable.) As he put it, he’s “very butt-centric.” He failed to live up to the task of representing the south, which lead to Android singing “Okie from Muskogee” – a mixture of form and accent not often heard. Inertia responded with “American Pie”, but desisted when people threw money.
Back at the hotel, Valerie was prepared with lots of drinks and we settled in for some real fun. Android gave awards. Valerie has “the best cleavage I’ve seen in the US.” Best hair went to elelle, Frat boy of the night to Omni, best footwear to Rubes (bright blue boots) and BeefyMeg got best pants for her leopard skin. Rubes suggested she tack them on the wall as an example to the rest, leading to “best try at getting a woman’s pants off.”
