Still Looking For Place to Stay in Bloomington

[Deb]

One last effort. I would really like to be able to stay somewhere in the area of the Comfort Inn or Days Inn (you know, about a 1/4 of a mile from the Interstate Center). If anyone has overbooked, please be sure to let me know.

Thanks also for all the replies to my 62 Build Sheet question. Guess I will just have to talk to the experts at Bloomington to determine whether my little beast was originally an automatic or not.

Thanks again.

Re: Still Looking For Place to Stay in Bloomington

Deb, don't give up on hotels. When I went last year I had reservations at the Ramada Inn. We got there on Wednesday (in time for the Thursday workshops) and found that the Ramada was a dump so we started calling around and there were a lot of last minute cancellations. So we dumped the Ramada and went else where. If you are going for the entire show (Thursday - Sunday) you should be able to get hotels when you arrive. Seems that the attendance is going down each year so more and more rooms are available. Now if you are going only for Fri or Sat night it could be a problem then.

Re: Still Looking For Place to Stay in Bloomington

Thanks, Tom.

We will be arriving Thursday afternoon. And Yes, I too stayed at the Ramada last year. Since all we really needed was someplace to lay our tired heads, wasn't too bad, but I would really like to be closer to the action.

I will just keep checking with the hotels, but if any of you hear of anything, I would appreciate it.

Thanks alot.

BUNK IN WITH VAROOOM

Hi Deb:

I've got a great party room with two beds and a canteen stocked with beefeater and decent brew as well as interesting wines. I smoke Dominican cigars, snore loudly, burp, prone to gas attacks, colorful language, and bathe infrequently. A perfect room mate! I've got the room all weekend from Wed to Sun.

Please send picture if interested. Would you mind doing my laundry? I'll pick up the tab for the first night; you catch the rest. OK?

Varoooooooooooooooooooooooom!

P.S. If you locate an "EXPERT" at Bloomington please let me know. I'd like to watch.

Re: BUNK IN WITH VAROOOM

I'LL ASK MY HUSBAND AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS! I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND THE HUMOR IN THIS!

Re: BUNK IN WITH VAROOOM

Hi Deb:

That's all I intended, was humor! Seriously, I have a room reserved for the weekend but will need it only for Wednesday. If you want it for the rest of the event let me know.

Dale.

Re: BUNK IN WITH VAROOOM

What ever made you think this was suppose to be humorous? Rev. Varooom is always dead serious. I might suggest that if your husband was capable of mixing a fine martini and could come up with some quality cigars, there might be the makings of a fine weekend.

Dale:

Ah, you are a gentleman after all. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Where is the room and how much?

Feel free to email me if you wish to respond off line.

Thanks alot.

Accommodations

Hi Dale,

If you need someone to share your room, I will be the perfect candidate. We seem to be very compatible except I prefer Red Man chewing tobacco to cigars. 'Course, I can only chew when my danged upper plate stays in place, but then my spittin' accuracy is severely impaired. See ya Wednesday.. just so's you'll know me, I'm the one with the tattoos.

If There's No Humor To Be Found

Maybe we are strung a bit too tight ?

[William J. Clinton]

Cigars ?

Did someone say cigars ?

Re: Accommodations

I think I'm in love! Tell me about your tatoos. I hope you don't shave under your arms. Do you spit on the carpet?

Varooom!

[George Daina]

Yo, Dale, watch out.....

Bertha ain't what she claims to be, why, she's none other than Big Bertha Butt of the infamous Betha Butt and the Butt Sister. One think in your favor, she don't shave her pits, legs, face, or anything else. She's kinda heavy, last time she needed to leave the house, they had to remove one of the walls and lift her out with a crane. It was touch and go, as the 3" cable started to unravel with at the weight placed upon it. Oh, another thing, you may need to get an oxygen mask, cause when it gets hot, the persperation just roll off Bertha's many, many rolls, and have a tendency to collect in the many valleys thoughout her body. Oh, one more thing, You will have to provide Bertha with a toothbrush. She doesn't own one.

I wonder how Bertha will fit into your room? Just pray that she doesn't see you laying in the bed. She may get excited and take a running start to get a flying leap onto the bed with you in it.

Re: Yo, Dale, watch out.....

George, I'm thrilled you remember me so well and I promise not to do anything with Dale that would make you jealous. But I would appreciate one thing: Dale asked me if I "spit on the carpet"... Be a dear and tell me: What's a carpet? With fond memories, Bertha B. By the way, "Piggie" also sends her regards..
