| Hawk: The rest of the morning and afternoon were spent getting some much needed rest and waiting for the festivities to begin. I still can�t believe how much harder Zelda is when you use a keyboard! As afternoon turned into evening turned into night, good conversation abounded � to which the list will attest � and many rounds of asshole and charades followed. There were also a couple of interesting incidents with a blender � well documented by Ed � and we managed to freak out a hotel employee when he found out we carried around our own plunger. All in all a very fun night� the first of many. Bren: So where is Jinx and Gumbie?? At the airport of course!!! Where else would they be? Well we can have just as much fun as they do.... NOT---no massages, no cart rides!! I wonder who got the best Laura, Hawk and Chrebet part of that deal. They are though waiting for Jenner and her friend Pam, who it winds up find their way to the hotel without our knowing it. We spend the rest of Friday in the hotel laughing, playing charades, eating pizza and having some beer (you knew that would show up didn�t you??) And I brought present for Hawk--POP TARTS!! in assorted flavors.. yes chocolate was one of them Chrebet: We introduce Sorin to drunken charades; she introduces us to SLAM and Laura to screw your neighbor.. **weg** "YES most blenders lock into the base" although I seem to have forgotten mine is not one of those (explaining the disaster with the daquiaris & why my rug is now red & yes there are pics) Jinx�s comment on that: What the hell?!?! Bren: If memory serves me we finally say goodnight somewhere around 5am but this time I don�t go to the store for coffee. I actually go to sleep!!!! Chrebet: Friday night, laura & gumbie stay in my room, I stay in Hawk's room. Get back to my room Sat am, did I wear sneakers when I left??? Who's sneakers are these in my room??? Turns out they are Gumbies, no idea why they were left. Hawk shows up with my sneakers. Oops! Observations by Hawk: As far as I know, we managed a gathering first � at one point the men present outnumbered the women four to one! Ok, sure, it was only because a couple were going to get ice, but still� Jenner: My friend, Pam and I drive to Buffalo to catch our flight. It turns out it was delayed. So we take a different flight to a different airport. $105 cab ride later we arrive at the hotel around 11pm. We walk around the area near our room looking for the loudest room. It only seemed logical that that would be the gatherers. My fault for not having anyone�s numbers. Finding no one we call it night and decide to look for them tomorrow. Jinx: So almost 10 hours later (from the moment we stepped out of the hotel and back in) we are back tired but happy. Everyone gave us lots of sympathy until they read our journal. It was definitely an unusual adventure but if you ever want to be stuck in an airport anywhere around the world, let it be Newark! (Are you making notes worldwide gatherers??? **grin**) Jenner: Saturday morning: Wake up Gumbie at 10:30 (for the second gathering in a row). Find out she and Jinx were waiting at the airport til 2am **gulp** Guilt sets in. Saturday afternoon: Twiddling thumbs. A couple of bad movies on hotel TV. Keith's new look?!?! Gumbie: So there I was, curled up sleeping in Chre's room with laura and Jack (NOT like that people get your minds out of the gutter!) when the phone rings. It's Jenner. I'm starting to think she takes pride in waking me up ((((Jenner)))). ;) At first, I thought she and Pam were at Newark airport, having taken in the morning flight from Buffalo instead... you can imagine how shocked I was to find they were at the hotel! I had a brief moment of crankiness (WTF?!) but then it was all good. ;) Jinx: Saturday morning.I get a call around 10:30am from Gumbie. She was designated the one to pass along the information that Jenner and Pam were at the hotel since last night! Well it was good to finally know that they were alright! Yay! So I finally pack up the goodie bags into the other car and I�m off again. I arrive at the hotel around 1:30pm and was told upon walking through the door that Sorin was to go out and have lunch with Miss Tif but no one knew where to find her. Uh oh! We call her house and call Ed�s phone but still don�t get Keith, Chrebet, Jack, Miss Tif, Hawk, Sorin an answer at either case. 2pm was our scheduled time to go and we didn�t want to leave Sorin at the hotel alone. So I made the decision and called Miss Tif to let her know that we would meet her at Dave and Busters later that day. We try Ed again just in case and got through this time. They�re on their way but got lost! Uh oh! After listening to the landmarks he started to describe to me, I finally realize that they are heading in the right direction, so we wait for them. They finally arrive and lo and behold, Sammie the wonder dog makes a guest appearance! Woohoo! Now that everyone was accounted for we handed out the goodie bags then leave for our destinations. Jenner: Saturday evening: Everyone else wakes up. Mass introductions. Guilt eases at mention of massages, moving sidewalks and Mohammed. Don�t sit in the back seat of Dave�s car. It�s really uncomfortable. *g* Jinx: We arrive at the mall and first things first! Parking! Ugh! We got lucky and found a spot but only after two bull-headed men had to make a big deal about a spot before when they thought I would take it. **rolling eyes** Anyway, we park and make our way inside. First and foremost, we hit the bar! **g** Then off to kill an emperor, save a stupid mayor and drive recklessly on a few cars. |
