More coming!!!!

Maria and I are CONFIRMED!!

Ohhhhh boy, here we go again! Here's to an incredible time on the bay! My goal will be to see how much fun I can have, and how much I can party, and still be in shape for an early Saturday morning drive down to Monterey...

Let's play!

i've been in the bay area a couple times last year, and i had no idea any of u blokes were there... well, ok, i just wasn't looking!

hmmm... maybe i can conveniently plan a business trip to san fransisco... hehe. but seriously, it's too far in the future for me to plan, but i'll definitely mark it on my calendar. if i can go, then the party's gonna get really dirty, really fast.

but with geisha_girl there already, i think it's plenty dirty already!

How can I resist :)

A party on a boat with cute dogs and dirty guys? What have I got myself into??? (And I thought couple of months ago this was a REAL TAME group....yeahhh right!) :-0 I'll be there !!

I know I'm going to regret all the "new notice" notifications, but since I missed out on last years blowout, I'd love to try to make it to this one. No promises yet, but will definately pencil it in on the calendar as something to remember to do. (assuming that's not the same weekend as my family re-union... <crosses fingers>)

Ha! Karen! This group, TAME? LOL -- We'll have to meet up and tell you tales of last years blowout... oh, oh, oh... the best full weekend I'd had in years. One thing VT is -- a magnet for terrific people!

By the way, who's bringing the economy sized jar of Nutella?

WHAT?! No Annna Banana?? G_G, you'd better call off the extra cases of Red Bull you'd told the cruise line to order!

So great to see the responses!

Glad to see you and Maria have confirmed, Francisco!

Yes, Rudy..........I know it is quite a ways away to start thinking about June! But this was my only window of opportunity to plan such an event, and I want to give folks (like you Balfor!) time to think about the date and have time to make the arrangements!

I received so many emails from folks who wished they could've made it to last year's party, so..........now is the second chance!! ;-)))

So SMUDGE it on your calendar, Rudy! Last year it was a 3-day event, and this year we plan to roll all that chaos into ONE NIGHT!!!!
(So ya better bring that bottle of Dolce & Gabbana..........bring two............it could get quite dirty!) ;-)))

Dress code is business casual. No coat and tie required for the gentlemen. (So Yubert, you can leave the polyester Leisure Suit at home! But bring the Disco platforms!) ;-)))

Don't worry dear Anna Banana..........this is only a *preheat* for your arrival! We are WAITING FOR YOU!!!

Good news for you, Yubert, it's JUNE 25th, so you've still got time to squeeze in an extra study session to make up for the one you'll miss in June. (but you might want to add a few extras to make up for the sinning you'll be doing then! <grin>)

Yubert, you're gonna be on a 3 hour cruise on a boat stocked full of dirty boys and girls.........endless flowing liquor........and all night gambling.

Maybe you should tell your Bible Study folks that you're coming up to SF for a Horticulture Convention with a group of *VirtuousTourists*. That sounds much better! ;-))

Hmm... This may involve some very tricky planning as I'm supposed to be in NC on the 25th, but I think maybe, just maybe, it may be done!!! Sure would hate to miss so much virtuousness!!

-Roman.

Absolutely Roman!

This 5 month advanced notice (Whoa! Is it really 5 months??!!!) gives you plenty of time to plan a way out of your prior commitments on 25 June.

Hopefully folks will keep that date as a mantra in their head: 25 JUNE !!!! The Day that will live in Virtuousness!

(I should change the heading from "VT Madness Blowout" to "A BLESSED EVENT: Share an evening of Meditation with the VirtuousTourists" )

Bring your Bible Study mates, Yubert ;-)))

Just sounds perfect !!!

My rosary beads is ready ... and if it does not help dear Yubert feels better, hope it will preserve my luck on the Casino !!! 8))

5 months in advance ... that's real planning GG ... for the Big Bay Buffet and Bar on the Boat !!
Anything to do in between ?? Ahaha

I know Syb.....5 months is a long time.

You see last year, it took 3 months to plan a 3 day event. I took off to mount the Himalayas right before that. Who knew if I would return from such an adventure?!!

This year I am giving it 5 months to plan a 1.5 day event..........Just in case I fall off the planet, or get lost on some deserted island somewhere!............ ;-))))

(Plan B: I've already volunteered Manny (ets) to take over this gig just in case!!!)

Bring the rosary beads along with the snails for Yubert, Syb !!!!

what about the legendary Dirty Rudy???

c'mon, anna banana... where's the love?????

yubert,

what's this??? u have love for fudge and dirty men???

i won't ask what you're packing...

Yes, dear Anna.......we really wish you could make it on this Boat ride. (This is your kinda party, girl !!) But we understand completely that duty calls! Take care o' yo bizniz first and then come out and play!!

If Yubert is lucky, he'll have the opportunity to meet ya!

Yes, you "dirty boyz".... The famous Sexy Fritttata will be gracing our presence this summer and we'll be rolling out the Red Bull Carpet fer sure!!!
She will be chaperoned by this Geisha so BEHAVE Yubert!! ;-))))

The VT Booze Cruise is the perfect kickoff to another fabulous summer in SF!

Rudy, if ya make out here, I can show you where to find the best *Tapsilog* this side of Olongapo City!
Ma Sarap !!! ;-)))

*Recuperation!!*

I'm afraid so Yubert.

This Geisha is about ready to hang up the kimono and retire from the *party circuit* completely!!!

****hush in the audience***

JUST KIDDING!!!!! Hahahaaaaa!

Actually, a thought did cross my mind about a Saturday outing for those who are interested: We all pitch in for one of those limos or vans that'll take us to wine country! (That is, in case the Open Premium Bar on the boat wasn't ENOUGH!!) ;-))))

Just a thought..........

Been there, done that.

Absolutely fabulous.

You should try it sometime Yubert. Bring someone special. ;-)

Yes, she is VERY special.

So........you taking her up up and away Yubert?

A Banana in a Balloon !!!! ;-)))

Aaaaaaaaaaaaw, you guys in San Francisco have ALL the fun!!!! *Sob, sob* I wanna party on the boat, in the bay with the booze..... :-)))

Reeka, and we know you have a place to stay already!! Come play with us!

LOL, thanks for the offer Yubert, how can I resist that!!! I am not sure if my hectic (pfff yeah right!!) schedule will allow me to be in SF at that time! :-(

But I will certainly try to pull any string that I am able to to make it! Surely I have to at least make it to ONE of your "low key" get togethers! ;-)
