She will make it! I mean, she might be late, but certainly she will get there. Let's just hope she finds a good, fast, susceptible to charm mechanic in BFE, Idaho.

Dude, B is a superhero. If the car doesn't get fixed, I have no doubt in mind that she will tap into her powers and instantly develop the ability to fly. :)

But as far as the bottles, they are not a bad deal for the Russian restaurant. There are also different non-alc drinks you all might like, such as kvas (kinda like a non-alcoholic beer) and yorsh (cranberry compote.) For those rates, they might be a good deal at the restaurant since most people aren't slamming their cocktails during dinner. Well, some ppl, lol.....

Oh no! I hope B makes it! I'm sure she will, I've never even met her and she's the most determined individual I know.

^ I'm going to text Bridgette right now and make arrangements to fly her out of Montana and into Vegas. In the off chance that she's changed cell phones in the last few months and I can't reach her, could one of you have her text me? She has my number; it's the same it's always been.

Ferfucksake!!! I was driving along just fine, 79 mph on the cruise control when my engine cut off. Just, stopped. So I pulled over, looked under the hood, can't see anything obvious. All belts, hoses and fluids look good, nothing's exploded, and nothing leaking. Got back in, attempted to start and at first it wouldn't, acted like it was out of gas but a few minutes later it starts and runs fine. Fuel pump maybe but I was afraid to keep driving so I called AAA and got a tow 100 miles to the nearest town. I'm in Idaho Falls, ID for the night and my car is at a shop. Will probably cost $500 (all the play money I had put aside to spend in LV, besides food and such). Dunno if they can get it fixed tomorrow but I hope so. I will be supremely pissed off if it's something worse and I'm stuck here for 3 days >:(

I swear, AAA is the best damn purchase I've ever made in my life! Anyone who travels should have it.

Boo!!!

Uh, TOO, I have changed my number and I don't have yours anymore since my phone was stolen last November - lost all the numbers that were in it.

Bridgette

Oh yeah StrayStripper I'm gonna PM you the hotel info now so you can check in without me. :(

I HATE CAR PROBLEMS!!! >:( GEEZ! WTF is going on??? I hope it gets fixed soon!

Bridgette

Yeah, and I just had a new radiator, hoses and temp gauge put in a week ago. $700 for that. ugh!!

I was gonna have a conniption if it'd been an overheat problem, but I really think it needs a new fuel pump. :crossfing that's all it is!!

Mily
09-03-2007, 10:01 PM
SHIT! I might have to spend even more on my repairs just to make sure I'm extra prepared when I get to go! Don't want to get trapped out in the middle of the desert...Holy-God-Jesus! :O I'm sure everything will be okay.

*sigh*

Go to and buy their PLUS membership. Costs about $100 a year but it is SO worth it. Free tows up to 100 miles, jumpstart, unlock your car if you lock the keys in, bring you gas if you run out on the road, etc. All for free. Plus you get all kinds of discounts at hotels and restaurants if you show your card. AAA is a must for people who travel in cars!!!

Mily

Thanks for the info! I was just about to ask you what that was. I think that would definitely be a wise investment to make before I head out there.

Hey, I'm ready for tomorow!!! Is there a complete list of who will be there and what time are we all initially meeting and where? Sorry for not following all that's been going on in the plannning. Tell tell me where and when and I'll be there!

Bridgette
09-03-2007, 11:34 PM
Get your ass to the yahoo group, girl!! All the info is there. If you can't read the info, you can't go :P

Zabrina
09-03-2007, 11:35 PM
^The list is in the yahoo group, or pm LatinaRose. She's our coordinator.

Bridgette

Um, because of my car situation I don't know when I'll be arriving now. If I can get my car fixed early I can still drive in - it's around 10 hours from here so I could make it. Doubt I'll get there in time to meet yall at TI for the limo but.....who knows? Maybe.

I have all the phone numbers from the group in my phone now so I'll call when I know more. Dammit!!! I wanna go in the limo to the clubbing! And I have my massage and reflexology scheduled for Wed at 1pm and I NEED to have that!! AAARRRGGGHHHH fucking car trouble >:(

LatinaRose

kikiwiki, sent you a pm.

B, I really hope you make it there today!

I'll be leaving for the airport soon, I have a long day of traveling. See y'all soon!

Ok, so things have changed.I can't come today, babysitter cancelled and emergency nanny service is way tooooo expensive. I know I won't be able to enjoy myself, think about how much $$ I'm spending out of pocket..I'm thinking about flying out Thursday am if I'm able and coming back Friday..

Katrine

Ladies, I come in at 9:45am tomorrow morning. Can I stop by someone's hotel and drop off my bag? I do have some friends in Vegas, a couple of guys. Our mutual friend said they would give me a place to crash and leave my things for a few hours but:
1. I havn't talked to them in a few years
2. I don't need to crash, just a place to put my things if I can't leave them at Caesars.

Anyone want to take in a stray Kat for a few hours in the morning? Thanks!

Bridgette

So apparently my problem is the fuel pump and filter. They're getting the part and can get it fixed today, but I won't get out of here until probably 4pm, which means IF I can make it to LV tonight it will be really late. I may get tired and decide to stop somewhere and sleep, and come in early tomorrow. I'm pissed off I'm gonna miss out on the festivities tonight >:(

And of course it's gonna cost me $800, which is more than what I had set aside for play money in LV. :thumbsdow Very inconvenient that this crap happens JUST before my surgery and taking a month off work. AND on the day I was to pay for a trip to Peru in November. Guess it's a good thing I've just worked my ass off the last 2 months so I've got some cash on hand. Still, it couldn't have happened at a shittier time :(

I've sent my hotel info to SS and Annie so they can at least check in before I get there. So Kat, you can drop your stuff off at our room if you don't find any other place. You have my number, right?

YAY!!
Going to school..and when I get home I'll get ready to meet everyone! Only a few more hours!!
Can't wait. Don't wanna go to school, LOL.

I hope everyone makes it here, better late than never.


Have a safe trip, ladies.

I made it here in one piece (although the plane had one of those horrible landings where everyone holds their breath...yikes, 'specially since my roomate thought it would be funny last night to ask the Magic Eight Ball if my plane would crash- it said "yes" of course)!

I am napping in my room and trying to calm my restless tummy for tonight.

Mily
09-04-2007, 03:58 PM
Have fun for me everybody! I'm so sad and disappointed. I really wanted to go, you have no idea. :'( Prayfully, the next SW Fest won't be too far away, and my luck (and funds) will be a HELLUVA lot better! ENJOY IT!

09-04-2007, 06:33 PM
Okay fuck. My travel buddy was on the fence about going, which was fine, but then Bridgette said she might not make it and I changed my ticket to Vegas for this weekend when my SO will be there on business. I probably will miss SF. I will however be in the middle of the VMAs.

I dunno. I just didn't want to stay in a hotel room by myself. That's my lame excuse.

Countdown to SWfest Vegas '07! 90minutes and counting.... LOL

Can't figure out what to wear. It's a tie between my pink rhinestone pasties and matching thong or my silvery blue latex body paint.

Kaylinn
09-04-2007, 10:30 PM
ohh...Pink rhinestone pasties!


I'm leaving in 5 minutes!

I in Russian culture, people begin their drinking around the table with "zakuski", or appetizers. This is how Russians can drink so much. You are not obligated to stuff your face, but what I'm hoping to do is get a huge round table in a private area, where people can also move about freely to mingle.

As a matter of fact, the zakuski will probably be filling enough to eat without needing a heavy second course. They consist of lots of plates of tasty appetizers that everyone shares (pass around the plates). So everyone can get a good sample taste of Russian cuisine without a heavy "buffet" style meal.



oh, god Kat. I'd sell my soul to have zakuski with you....

:'(

why o why did y'all have to pick back-to-school week for this????

have lots & lots of fun without me....:-\
