| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 3:58:22 PM | OMG Kat I seen the accident right after it happened... of course I didn't realize it was your daughter... which one was it? I could see they were sitting on the rail so I knew they were alive... someone was on their cell phone placing a call so I felt they had it taken care of... OMG I certaintly hope they are ok. MAYBE just MAYBE they learned a lesson... yes it might cost some to replace that truck... BUT one thing it didn't cost them were their lives....
PLEASE PEOPLE..DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.
I had a cousin who was killed by a drunk driver and he walked away from it. This was way back when I was a youngin... things were NOT as strick... however it took her at 18. Enough said. | |

| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:03:02 PM | Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes...they will be fine. And those two pics were not even the worse...so...imagine that. And YES...a very hard lesson learned...cause I cannot possibly imagine if someone would have been killed or seriously hurt...and AGAIN...we ALWAYS encourage SAFE PARTYING. ALWAYS. :)
Anyhoot...on with the pics...they are posted...still awaiting photog Jim's pics! :) | |

| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:03:13 PM | Naked men on the second floor and I missed it??? Go figure!!
Kat, like you i found out quickly that Boots with 3 inch heels, the dance floor, $1 drink specials and a crazy man with a mask with a 6 inch tongue don't mix and I went down flat on my booty!!!! (VERY gracefully i might add)
Believe me i jumped up and looked around for KENNY and his camera!!!!!!!! HA! YOU MISSED IT!!!!!!!!!! One other girl fell down at least twice so it wasn' t just you and me hitting the deck sister! I went back to my room and put on flip flops that totally didn't go with my outfit but i didn't care.. at least i didn't look like a fishie floppin on the dance floor the rest of the nite!  | |

| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:07:04 PM | | I didn't realize those pics were of your daughters car. i have a teenager and i can't imagine. Thank God they were all ok. I think its a testimony to why $35 is a cheap price to pay to stay safe!! | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:12:45 PM | OK ok... You were right. I had a blast!
We left there at close and went to Soulard and then to the East side. Didn't get back to the room till about 6am. Good times! The guy in the pic with me is Curt aka FatBoy75. I have a bunch of pics from that night, but nothing suitable for posting! LOL Thanks again to all who helped. It was my first party and I am dayum... sure I will never forget it!!! Skip and I had a heartfelt conversation I met FBG and Shortstack. Oh and my man , my DAWG!
Thanks again Kat, you are the best! See you bext time!

| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:16:36 PM | | Not that it matters, but the rooms are normally $35 flat with no tax but this time it was $40 with tax. Am i imagining the $35 rate?? | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:20:04 PM | OMG Kat - just looking at the pictures scares me (reminds me of what my van looked like that I totaled in 05, in a coma ect.) God was def looking over them. My prayers are with you and yours. Glad to see they had 2 hots and a cot! Hoping that they have learned a lesson!!!
I'm here if ya need to vent sista!
Hugs, Cam | |

| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:22:54 PM | | Hello TomFish! Great seeing you again!! I also was caught off guard by the tax added. I'm not complaining but for a minute I was totally confused when i went to pay my girlfriend for my share of the room! | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:29:12 PM | George...I asked about that for someone else who mentioned it...and if I understood it correctly, they used to work out the tax into the $35 rate so that they were actually charging less for the rooms, so they charged the $35 competitive rate AND the tax.
Still cheap!
Autumn...sorry you spilled...but good to hear I am not the only goober!! LOL
Cam...thanks...am fine...since they are fine!
M'Lee...LMAO! Girl...I knew you would have a blast...
Gotta go make some dinner...ciao all! Nita said I duped a couple pics...will fix later! | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:33:18 PM | | Thanks Kat, like i said not that it matters. I would stay if it was $50. Its sooooooooooooooo convenient. excuse the spelling LOL all of u spelling goobers. I was just curious. | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:34:30 PM | | When I checked-in and the person behind the desk said that it would be $40 after taxes I was a little surprised. I told her it's always a flat $30, she just shrugged her shoulders..... It's still better then what happened to Kat's daughter or worst. | |

| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 4:55:30 PM | I was not surprised, the government always has to get their cut! But then I have worked in the hospitality business and know it is common to pay the taxes that were listed on the reciept that they gave us at check in. | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 5:44:17 PM | | I am new to the site and I want to let you folks know how Thankful I am for such great night! I met some great people and I can wait until the next function. Thanks you once again! | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 5:50:41 PM | Well, here is my two cents on the whole thing! :)
The hotel rooms are an OPTION that is available so that we can really cut loose if we want to. Many do not get out often, and since these parties are monthly or bi-monthly at most...people wanna let their hair down and just kick it! The hotel is discounted for us and is CHEAP, whether it is $35 or $40. And...the standard rooms can accommodate up to 4 people, comfortably...so if you need, you can split it with 1 to 3 others...making it an even better deal. :)
The drinks are as cheap as the can be for two hours...and the food is FREE. After the two hours, they are still reasonably priced...and...the whole freaking party is FREE, for the most part! ;) Not many places (if any!) that one can go where for less than $50, they can get a room, eat a decent meal, drink, have music, etc....
I KNOW no one is complaining...and everyone has been more than generous in their thanks for the evening! But just to explain the rate difference in the room! :) | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 5:54:12 PM | | alright, whenever Mr Jim posts his pics..I'd like the full pic of the Captain...I haven't seen one yet! I know Skip took a pic of me and Linda and I know he's having issues posting pics, it's definitely a slow process..I can wait..so for those already posted, we had a great time!! | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 6:00:14 PM | | Jim has no issues, hon...he just snail mails me the CD to upload. :) Will do it as soon as he does...as well as send you the FULL CAPITANO!!! ;) | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 6:24:07 PM | Oh Lawdy be y'all!! I don't which members are wilder, you guys or us Texan's. I do think the world would be in ALOT of trouble if we ever combined parties!
Way to go HarleyKat | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 6:53:22 PM | | Great Party Kat. I'm the newbie that helped clean up. No special thanks needed. In all honesty I was just wandering around the lobby in a semi inebreated/hungover stupor trying to sniff out some coffee to clear the fog when I saw two good looking gals in their PJ's, like I wasn't going to help?! After this post I bet you have a lot more help next year. Thanx, I had a great time and met some wonderful people. | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 6:59:02 PM | Hey Kat...Sorry to hear about the kiddos. Let's hope it's an expensive lesson that they will learn from. My son got a DUI last Nov..which he is paying for dearly. | |

| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 8:42:26 PM | OMGoodness Kat sorry to hear about your kiddos, but am relieved that they aren't hurt or worst. As to everyone else I hope they learned something from this experience and that it might even help someone else in the long wrong.
As to the price of the rooms- when me and sis checked in at 4 am they explained to us that the price difference was because it was their "Halloween Bash"(if you look at the picture of the sign out side the strat on page one you will notice their room prices for the night was $49.95 ) that night and they raised the rate for it. So, with that said we still received an AWESOME price. Mind you, I too would have paid whatever they needed me to, seeings that I definetly didn't want to drive ALL the way back home and back up again. The last two parties we have been too they have been very accomadating and allowing us to check in at 4 am or later on the day of the party and staying til the next day (can't beat that). Any how that is just my two cents.
Can't wait for the next one!! | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 8:52:15 PM | | Kat...the important thing is that they are ok! Lessons learned are like bridges burned...you only get to cross them once.... | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 8:57:13 PM | Keep rubbin it in pizza dude and next time i wont threaten to show up, i actually will! 
Kat, glad the kiddies are ok, but one drink was all that caused that? Anyone else involved? | |
|
| Rocky Horror AFTERMATH (Photos) Posted: 10/27/2008 9:22:41 PM | | Well Bay, rest assure that the party did and will continue to go on with or without u. It was a blast LOL | |
