Right, wouldn't want to damage the keyboard.

Yeah we missed the drinking party last year didn't we mckeed ^_^ We need some stable plans for this year. I'll be in town Thursday (and not going to Ocean City this time though I'd love to....) and I want to go to the Hard Rock Cafe there near the convention center. Mayhaps we can all meet somewhere this time each night for amv parties? :D

If we do, I'd like to suggest it not be at Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, or any of the other overpriced restaurants in the area (incl. Cheesecake factory which, although you CAN get portions big enough to split, you CAN NOT make reservations). Perhaps Cybermat can tell us if there's going to be a room which groups can reserve some time to meet, etc.

Or we could just wander between parties and find each other =P

Well Planet Hollywood should not be an issue as they were suposed to close over the winter. i have not been downtown reciently to see if they actually did or not. But as far as I know, Planet Hollywood is no longer a "viable entity".

Nifty. We can have the Rites of Pai or something and use it as a part of Nate Gone Wild 2 or something. In fact, let's have it near the rave...it's got to be better than what the DJ is playing.

Naked? Only at strip clubs. As for going wild... I only do that for Whorebox and Hsien.

I'll be there Thurs as well, with Mint and Jeff.

My original plans were to head down on Friday, as I only have a hotel room reserved for Friday and Saturday nights, but if Mckeed's van works out, I may be down Thursday and crashing someplace on the floor that night (wouldn't be the first time... maybe I can find another nice, safe table to sleep under :wink: ). My vote is if we go someplace for sushi that we go someplace the doesn't exclusively serve sushi, as I'm not at all fond of fish...
