Maybe I'll have to start socking away half-dollars and dollars. :)

I wonder if it would be cheeper to go together and charter a plane to OZ for PAGAN '09 :devil:

Well i like Tucky Duck...not too sure on the Coolibah though *LOL*

Well i spose ya never know what the future may hold eh....one day i might make it upover :)

Listen and learn, PF.

I'm still playing lotto too. :D

BUMP!

I go back to school tomorrow so I officially start working for my next vacation manana!

Bump

ha ha beat you to the bump

*dances with Scarecrow*

only by seconds


but I don't mind a good dance

It is Nashville right?
 

Ok...Sorry guys but i am a planner and I am trying to plan for this trip next year...need more information....


Dates: Exact dates if possible

The hotel: Any one in particular? I am looking for one with a pool but come across an indoor or outdoor option, also hotel rating, and price range that we are going for.

I also have a co worker that still gets deals from a hotel chain that he can book everything and get his discount ( if i need to ask if he can I will, since he has offered anyway) I believe it is the clariton ones. I will have to check that.

any other info possible too...

After reviewing the pics of PIP07 and PIN 06 I have a question?
























































DO I have to shave my head to attend Nashville in 08 so I will fit in?

txgrneyes, the dates are July 22, 23 & 24. Check-in on the 22nd & check-out on the 25th. Everyone is welcome for 1, 2 or all 3 nights. It will be in Nashville, Tn. I am looking at Hotels near the airport. The main one I am looking at is a Best Western that has recently been remodeled and it has Hi speed Internet and an outdoor pool. The standard rate is $66 a night. I have yet to contact the chain or hotel but on the web-site it says there is a discount for 5+ rooms and a larger discount for 10+ rooms. It looks like we will have 10+ rooms. This hotel is rated 3Diamonds by AAA. After I set it up with the hotel everyone will be able to book there own room and this chain has a 24hr cancilation refund policy. If anyone else is seeking info please let me know on this thread or by PM.

I'd like to see a large goupe at PAGAN '08. If you have any questions about meeting with other Pixies please contact anyone who was at PAGAN '06 or PIP '07. They will tell you what a good time was had by all.

Scarecrow

YES :cboy:

It's the expected thing to do.:nod: That was the only reason I shave mine each year. :rolleyes:













:roflmao:

I'm shy, so I wear a wig. :shrug:

I'm anxious for PAGAN 08 already. Darn ... I wish it was next week. :boink:

It's addictive, this meeting with fellow Pixies.

Like DB, I'd love to be only 1 week out.

OK...does anyone have an '08 calender so I can "pencil in" the dates?


Oh...and could you call me about 2 months ahead to remind me to flip the pages on said calender?



My mother-in-law calls me on occasion to ask what months my calenders are showing...lmfao!

This one is SO close to us!! We're only in Chattanooga--well, right over the line in Ringgold, GA so it's only a couple of hours drive for us. I keep telling MR SD that we are SO going to PAGAN '08!

Remind me to remind you a month before that. :)



Okay, I'm getting old and senile. :(









But I can still be horny, can't I! :nana:

SC, looking at the Best Westerns here, is that the Airport Inn or the one near Opryland?

That is the Airport Inn

The dates and location are perfect for us! Hopefully the kid will still be with her dad, and if she isn't we will pawn her off on someone. :D

I'm soooo excited!! :nana:

Good choice. Stewart's Ferry Pk is a reasonably decent neighborhood & close enough to the airport for those who might fly in. What they won't tell you on the website is that the Opryland hotel, while it's a nice one, is only accessable via Briley Pkwy...which is an awful mess right now, has been a mess for several years already, & I can almost guarantee will probably still be a mess 11 months from now...

I should probably go on record now with saying that while I'm proud that Pixie's has chosen my hometown for the next get-together, & I'm looking forward to meeting the faces behind the silly-sexy screen names, for a number of personnal reasons, I can't be the gracious host-with-the-most in arranging for all the activities the way I understand DB did with the Peoria meet. I will help this along as best I can, & hope that what I can do is enough to make everybody feel welcome & relaxed. Of course, from what I understand, mostly it's pixies meet, pixie greet, goodgawd let's eat...

Shit, I can do that... ;)

You'll fit right in.

OMG...we're getting alot of join-ins! Yeah!

Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

I wanna start packing.

Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

I've got the car running.

Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!








Ya' think it's a bit early? :tear:

If you're ready to go right now, I suggest you stop off at your fav garage & have the A/C checked first...

<12 days in August 100F or greater
<21 days " " 90F " "
<13 heat related deaths in TN

Right now, I wouldn't invite my worst enemy down for a visit...

Yep you got it now all you have to do is point us to a couple good local places to eat and we will be happy.

Hey DB, TN temps do not sound much worse than here in IL. Today it was 95 with a heat index of 102

I hear ya', scarecrow.

:line: You know, PAGON 08 only eleven months away! :line:

But who's counting?

Maybe we need a re-think about this July/August gathering. Anybody ever been to Nutak..................... Labrodar? :rolleyes2

No, but I've got a dog that can retrieve it for ya...



All seriousness aside, I'm hoping that current conditions are a one-off (we've broken 100-yr-old records here) & that next year should be more moderate...which is not to say that it would ever be really pleasant here in July, just normally it's not life-threatening...but if this drought+heat continues for much longer, I'm gonna have a lot more pressing issues than whether I get to meet n greet with my online friends (we are trying to start a little nursery business here, & crop failure has become my state's #1 problem)...


Hey, maybe some naked raindancing will work...

We have plenty of rain this week!!!!

The child is camping at the beach, she just called to say it is cold and wet but is hoping the sun will come out this afternoon for a least one swim.

School started back this week around here and they are all letting out an hour and half too two hours early because of the heat.

Same here, except they started back last week...all school bldgs have A/C, most of them working, but something about the cost of about a zillion $$$ to do the same to the buses has them sending them home before the afternoon triple digits set in...

:bump:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... this is sounding better and better all the time!!! Plus there's plenty of time to save up for it!

This is a strong possibility for us! :nana:
