When I complained about the parking situation and having to drag coolers etc to join the rest of our group, he told me " I don't give a sh!t. If you don't like it, pack your stuff and leave." Anywhere else I'd have introduced his clipboard to his upper intestines, but hey, it was GW Weekend and I was ready to party, in spite of the a$shole.lime rickie wrote:They were so clueless last year.

But I'll let Dave go into all the nitty gritty details when he gets back!
Looks like eggs and kegs in the lot this year! hehehe...

I talked to Wandering Richard ( Western Mass. VP) last month, and he said Kathy was working on it and things were looking good.

Let's see....9am opening, 9:05 first beer. 9:17 first shot of tequila, 9:18 second beer to help keep said shot of tequila down. 9:30 something resembling breakfast (thanks Dave) 9:40-1:37 various more beers, shots and boat drinks. 1:38 tell you all how much I love you. 1:39 passed out in my hammock. Wake up at 4:30 and do it all over again.

Re: Who's Going to Great Woods June 17th Thursday...
I know Marilyn would join you drinking Mimosas. As for me, I think I'll do my shot of tequila to start the day, then be a good boy and try and stick to rum, .....but maybe an occasional beer, jello shot, pudding shot and Tonga Bowl.ScarletB wrote:I'm SO onboard for mimosas Sarah!Fruitcake14 wrote:popcornjack wrote:Let's see....9am opening, 9:05 first beer. 9:17 first shot of tequila, 9:18 second beer to help keep said shot of tequila down. 9:30 something resembling breakfast (thanks Dave) 9:40-1:37 various more beers, shots and boat drinks. 1:38 tell you all how much I love you. 1:39 passed out in my hammock.
