RoR: Forum

I visited the house several months ago, but if I remember correctly, there are no houses across the street, so people should be able to park all the way down the other side of the street.

Regarding Ashley's question, I would like you guys to know that I have rented a car for the occasion (perhaps we could get a tally here?).

I will be driving there in my own car.

Speaking of driving places, for those who like dinner shows, I can highly recommend all of the following:

Dixie Stampede
Medieval Times
Arabian Nights
Sleuths Mystery Theater

Yes I rented a car as well. I doubt parking is an issue it is not a center city type area.

Game-lovers,

I am planning to bring poker, chess, and scrabble (w/dictionary).

Any takers?

carCount += 1; // Dean's escort

// I'd be up for some poker and scrabble. Not really up for chess: turn based strategy -> yuck!

I am up to play any of those, Ed.

By the way, Luke what was that projector you are bringing? If I go to like a Staples, they can probably convert some slides for me into a format. What is the size of the transparencies is this the 8x11 kind or are you talking 35mm slide projector type?

I plan to bring a projector capable of projecting 8.5" x 11" transparencies. I assume we can use a wall as a screen so I plan not to bring a screen. I have no access to one in any case.

Poker!

Bring some cash, Scott.

I'm bringing the casino chips -- to cash in and out with.

I prefer low-stakes, though -- nickel (white), dime (red), quarter (blue), half-dollar (green), one dollar (black).

And I'd like to play some games other than Hold 'Em (though I'll play Hold 'Em, if it's only a $5 buy-in).

I'll play hold em, or just regular, 'dealer calls' style.

I just checked the weather forecast for Kissimmee,

Pack accordingly.

Per an arrangement with Joe and JJ, I will procure the keys to the houses around 1 PM Friday and open them on schedule. I have also obtained the transparency projector promised. More fires occurred last night and the smoke has made my wife sick to the point that she may not join us. But I will be there. My cell phone number is (321) 544-7435 if anyone needs it.

EDIT: Dear wife has talked me into seeing the 11:30 AM matinee premiere of X-Men: The Last Stand here at home so I will not get to Kissimmee until close to 3 PM. That still gives me plenty of time to get the keys and open the houses by 4 PM.
