Gandalf's Birthday

NOTE: You may note that your post is not on top.. you don't need to repost it. I've just changed the post time on this particular one so it stays on top for a few days until we get the event ironed out. I'll be editing the main content of this post as days go by. Ok all. That time of year that I love to much has come around again. More grey hair, more "wow, you're old" jokes, etc. It's always been a tradition that I try my best to get the scoobies together for a "hangout" event for at least 1 afternoon cookout and night on the town. This year we're taking it up a notch. Here's the deal. Tom, has offered his beach house in Atlantic Beach that weekend for any of us who want to come. There's bedrooms, shag carpet, a jukebox in the living room, a nice bar (BYOB), a place for the girls to lay out and get some sun, and I think he's bringing the boat down. (Yeah.. I get to be captain again.. woohoo..) Here's the relevant information: Where: Atlantic Beach (Tom, please post a comment to this post with the address information, and I'll get a digital map in everyone's email sent to them that wants to come) When: Starting: Leaving Greenville at 5 PM Friday night, June 24th, and returning early Sunday Afternoon, June 26th. Who's Invited: Any scooby or associate.. lol. Seriously, I want you ALL to come. Singles, couples, all of it. There's plenty of places to go out so if some want to be rowdy and others want to hang out and relax, it can all be done. What You Need To Plan On: This is something I have questions on, so I'm posting these questions to Tom as well as making you all aware of them.
  • What do we need to chip in for the house? Or for the utilities?
  • Will we have the boat there this year? (so I know what to bring)
  • Do we want to shop here and take food or shop there and all pitch in together on dinners for the weekend?
  • How many bedrooms? I think it has 4.
  • Sleeping arrangements: Sorry guys, but Couples rule on this one. I know Tom gets one room, April and I will get a room, Todd and Sameena will get a room( if they can make it) or Lee/Nicole, etc. Singles... y'all can do whatever floats your fancy in the living room. There is at least 2 couches I think.. and others might be willing to bunk up.. god knows it's not unheard of in this group of people.
  • What clubs or entertainment are nearby?
  • What is the address?
That's all I can think of at this point. Here's what I know of who's coming. There is a FR, SA,SU beside the names of them, designating who will be there all weekend, or who will just remain for a few nights. Guest List:
  1. Tom FR,SA,SU
  2. Tommy FR,SA,SU
  3. April FR,SA,SU
  4. Doc FR,SA,SU
  5. Marisa FR,SA,SU
  6. Nicole
  7. Lee
  8. Marion FR,SA,SU
  9. Mark FR,SA,SU
  10. Joe FR,SA,SU
  11. Bridget
  12. Todd
  13. Sameena
  14. Justin
  15. Ed

  1. Hi guys. I know many of you, but there are many I don't know. Tommy is such a cruise director. I've been away at school in DC and have been out of touch.

    Tommy: I will get you a map and you can distribute it to people that are planning to come. (since the blogger is public, I don't want to give out the address online. I'd rather we email people directly)

    There are 4 rooms, couches, rollaway beds, etc. I think I will just put a "tip" jar on the bar in the house and everyone can chip in what they can and feel is appropriate. That will pay for gas in the boat, electricity, etc.

    I usually shop down there. It's not more expensive than anywhere else.

    I prefer that people do not bring pets as I will have my 3 dogs with me and I don't want to run into any personality conflicts with the animals.

    We have towels and stuff, but if you could bring your own necessities, I would appreciate it. I would bring a pillow and sleeping bag, etc., just in case. I doubt we'll be overcrowded, but if it gets to that point, we may have to limit the number of people that sleep over. Of course, any and everyone is invited during the day and evening hang-out times. I think we should plan a cookout on Saturday afternoon/evening.

    The number one house rule is "Have fun and be respectful of the property" Our home is beside the chief of police and even though we've had no problem in 25 years, we still like to be respectful of the neighbors. (If we can get Tommy to refrain from drinking that weekend, we should be ok) Oh, and nothing illegal is allowed.

    Everyone should bring a gift for Tommy. Preferably a gag gift! LOL

    If you have any questions or concerns that we don't address here, you can email me at tr@tcr4.com

  2. Oh, more...

    BT's is a block away and is the number one hot spot on the beach.

    There are plenty of restaurants.

    If you have a floatable, you can bring it and float on the canal behind the house. We are not on the ocean, but on the sound side.

    Look forward to making it a great weekend.

    I think that's all.

  3. Tommy: Not a Cruise Director. I think the politically correct term would be Event Coordinator... hehehe.

    And presents are NOT required... though if anyone wants to.. hey.. who am I to complain. THen again, contributions to the "Tommy has to replace his lost cell phone" campaign and the "Tommy wants a 55 inch bigscreen" campaign are certainly welcome and may be considered tax deductions.

    No, I don't need any more blow-up dolls.. the three under the bed are enough. I used Duct Tape to patch Hilda up.. the fat polish sex doll.. and she's ok now.

    hehehe.

  5. Ok.. I don't want it to be my fault.. lol.. so how do we get EVERYONE's birthday to be this cool with the Scoobs? Geeze.. you guys are already psyched up and it's only June 1st.

    Don't forget the pig pickin the weekend of July 9th at the beach for my Mom's B-day. I've already secured the pig cooker from Jody Griffin and I'll handle getting the pig with Lil' Bit later this month.

  12. We don't have a bathtub for the traditional PJ, but we do have bidets for anyone interested..

    LOL

  13. Ok. Some of you scoobies are too new to remember this, but PJ is a drink for 12 year olds. The preferred Scooby beverage of choice is PAT! (Purple Alaskan Thunderfuck)

    No, you HAVE NOT heard of it, unless you heard of it from us.. lol... we invented it a few years ago and now even a few of the bars downtown know what a "Purple Alaskan" as it's called in polite circles, is.

    Agent M, you remember Purple Alaskan's right? I KNOW Dez, Todd, and Sameena remember it. Those of you who haven't had it, trust me: It's great... it's just as drinkable as PJ.. but a LOT more damaging for a lot less actual beverage. In other words, you can't even possibly drink 5 or 6 of these and still walk straight.

    Anyone want to shoot to beat my record? Currently I'm sitting at 32 of them in 3 hours... and still sober. (yeah.. that's about 3 gallons of pure liquor... oh gooodddd the memories of that day!!!)

    Hey... and Don't the scoobies still owe me an evening getting drunk???? I won the pistol contest that day... that's RIIIIGHHT! Can I claim my birthday as my day to redeem my alcoholic award?

    And Agent M, call Justin and remind him. I either want my Belt Buckle or my Plaque.... lol.. he owes me that from the party that began last year on my birthday!
