| Tampa/St Pete Party AUG 12 Posted: 8/11/2006 3:55:52 AM | Have a great time and enjoy the party!
Hey everyone, was looking forward to attending this party, but at the last minutes my son and his wife decided to go to the hospital to have their baby. I have been up all night and am going back to the hospital this monring to introduce myself to my 1st grandchild whenever she decides to arrive. If all goes well, I may have the chance to stop by Ft DeSoto. Sorry I couldn't help more. Hope everyone has a great time, the weather looks cooperative. | |

| Tampa/St Pete Party AUG 12 Posted: 8/11/2006 5:05:11 AM | I do believe that there are signs indicating where the North Beach is...but if not....you make a right turn by the big flag.
If you want to make signs that would be appreciated. Just keep in mind that they cannot be mounted on other signs, they must be attached to their own stake. And they must be removed when we leave the park.
A few posts back I put the website address for Ft. DeSoto where you can view and download diagrams and maps for the park.
ALSO EVERYONE....REMEMBER WE ARE MEETING AT SHELTER #1 (THE FURTHEST SHELTER ON THE NORTH BEACH).
See you all there tomorrow!!! | |
|
| Tampa/St Pete Party AUG 12 Posted: 8/11/2006 5:40:45 AM | I hope we are locals. lol I live on Bradenton Beach and I am coming. Hope to see you there since we are neighbors. | |

I JUST RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING THEY HAD A CANCELLATION ON A SHELTER AND IT IS ALL OURS IF WE WANT IT. I'm no fool so, of course I told them that we would take it.
WE HAVE SHELTER #1 RESERVED FOR US. IT IS THE LAST SHELTER THAT YOU WILL COME TO ON THE NORTH BEACH.
*****NEW LOCATION***** SHELTER #1 ON THE NORTH BEACH.
The upside is that we don't have to meet there at the crack of dawn to claim the other shelter or tables under trees.
I'm figuring that 9:00 - 10:00 would be a good time to meet there.
The person I spoke with wanted me to remind everyone that: 1. No alcohol is permitted 2. No loud music 3. Pets are permitted, but not under the shelter or on the beach, and they must be on a 6 ft lead. | |

| Tampa/St Pete Party AUG 12 Posted: 8/12/2006 12:00:02 PM | It was nice to meet everybody. It started out slow and was looking like a sausage party but it picked up a bit towards the end :) The sandcastle/fruitsculpter lady is my hero. I wonder what else she can do?  | |

| Tampa/St Pete Party AUG 12 Posted: 8/12/2006 1:19:30 PM | Yah the sandcastles were nice...boy that heat was getting up there!! I must confess, i didnt sign up to go, but i am glad i made it, i would have stayed longer if i could; people kept coming in all day!! Everyone please thank Rockstar and Lori (?) for all the time and effort they put into this. I cant wait for the next one!!

| Tampa/St Pete Party AUG 12 Posted: 8/12/2006 4:30:03 PM | | Even though not many people showed up, I had a great time talking with everyone. The food was great & the beach was superb there (a little bit hot though). Not many women showed up--you women missed the opportunity to meet some great guys there. | |
|
| Tampa/St Pete Party AUG 12 Posted: 8/12/2006 8:04:06 PM | | We, as women, always arrive late. U got there at 1:30 and all there were many women and few guys. Oh well. | |
