thursday --
meet and greet at a NEAR airport bar/restaurant from 12-4.
go OUT to dinner at 6pm
club

friday --
go OUT to dinner at 7pm
club

saturday --
bbq and hushlive at 3:30pm
club


let's nail down the meet and greet restaurant....

also...tastey and i are going to do a poetry reading....at some point...

i remember that we had talked about a talent show, a pajama party, a pool party, etc......

[HulaSista]

i am fine with this plan, just as long as ya'll don't make me hula...

[lovely]

Thats a whole lotta clubbin!!!!!!

[seductive_tee]

u ain't lying.....and what it cost to get in clubs down there.

[Tastey]

I'm fine with the itenarary ONLY BECAUSE it has been said we won't follow it anyway.

Otherwise I would not be fine with it simply because there were too many problems with chat that night to ASSUME this is the consensus.

[HulaSista]

Just curious - are these lounge clubs? jazz clubs? dance clubs? comedy clubs? :D

[davinci]

i can see a bar being one of those clubs. less prep time and more conversational, and cheaper drink specials. i'm down for wherever lets me in with pj's or hospital scrubs or a bathrob on.

[que90nek]

when the itinerary was first posted...i posted a full explanation...including my dissent.

already folks are planning to skip out on the meet and greet....

i have almost officially given up.

[Brightness]

No shame here. . .name my name, I might be one of said "FOLKS".

[Tastey]

Brite,
Why are you skipping the meet and greet? :confused:

I know that everyone wants thier own time and also want to enjoy Orlando, I'm all for that. But what if the thing you skip out on I'm at, and the thing you are at I skip out on? I mean we'd have gone to Hushnic and missed each other. :confused:

I'm using you and me as examples Brite, not specifically saying either of us will skip things. Although I will say right now I have no intention of clubbing 3 nights in a row.

So, I'm just hoping that with all the skipping, and dissesion and getting space with this itenary that at some point and time we all actually get to meet and hang. :(

[Brightness]

I never said I would SKIP IT. . .

I looked at the proposed itinerary and what immediately struck me as "odd" was to MEET & GREET from 12-4 in a bar/restaurant and then go back out to dinner @ 6 and spend a minimum of 2-3 more hours in a restaurant.

IF I end up getting a rental car. . .I was planning to go to the meet/greet for a couple of hours then try to go see the city. . .see a beach, the mall, something. . .and plan to be at the Hush House around 4 p.m. to drop off luggage, freshen up, rest up for dinner and the club.

Maybe it's just me but I can't seem to justify spending that much time (approx. 6-ish hrs) in a restaurant in sunshine-y Florida.

I wholeheartedly admit to being one of those people who like to have a plan. . .a plan sets the stage for things that might happen. . .puts options on the agenda instead of sitting around wondering what to do or later reflecting and saying "we could have done blah-blah-blah". Personally, I wouldn't be mad if things didn't go as planned to the letter. It just appeared too much to ask for to have an itinerary or come together on ideas. Just like you said about not wanting to club 3 nights. . I'm sure other people will feel that way, too.

And since, I'm getting it all out on the table. . .I get the impression that those who have attended before seem to have dampened a little bit of the Hushnic appeal, at least for me. I already feel that some on the Hush members have bonded moreso than others and/or see one another frequently, that's understandable. I'm not in that situation. . .so yes, quite honestly, I was a little excited and like the proverbial kid sitting in the backseat asking "are we there, yet. . .what we gon' do now. . .hey, guys, let's do this. . "

Now, I'm kinda just like whatever happens, happens. . .I still would like to go/come, meet everyone, kick it and hope for the best but honestly I lowered my expectations. . .and that's how I'm approaching it from here on out.

[Mocha]

you know what if I didn't know better I would think what you just typed Brite, I could have typed it myself....

As a person who has been several times, I am also dampered, and honestly just want to just be there...as for as the meet and greet for that long...naw, I wasn't planning on just sitting in a place for hours like that. But let it be me to mention that, I am trying to be a loner:confused:

But as far as people bonding, well yeah of course we were all at several events together kept in contact, and believe me you might find someone to keep in contact too, since this will be your first one. You never know we might keep in contact, I might visit you, you might visit me. I wouldn't let that aspect of it damper anything, cause I still believe I will have a wonderful time, kickin it all three nights, or sleeping all three nights I wont know till I get there.

But I too am a person that want to see everything, all of what you said...so I think I am at the point you are, I really dont wanna even talk about what we doing, what time we doing it...its beginning to get to be too much

[CLSmooove]

If I can interject here... The proposed Meet and Greet was designed so that everyone could not only meet but go over to the house at the sametime because there is no early check in....

Bright for the record i think that those that have attended are just trying to let those that havnt know that no matter how much u plan what the itenerary is Hushnic has a PROVEN record that it won't go that way.... Sure I think that some Major things should be planned like HusLive and the BBq...

We planned and planned and had an itenerary more detailed than the one that is planned for this year.... Never happened.... We went out to eat (breakfast and dinner) Clubbed hard Friday and Saturday Night.... Had Hushlive Saturday Afternoon.... But the in between times NOTHING was done as we planned.... Saturday afternoon we were supposed to do our own thing.... Some did but most of us Hung out in Que's room and got to know one anothr real well.... I still CTFU when i think about that....Damn it was funny as Hell....

Don't let not having every hour planned out to the "T" bother you or dampen your expectations... Cause when its all said and done we are all gonna have so much fun laughing and playing and getting to know one another just a little bit better that u won't even care about an itenerary... Everything will fall into place wait u will see..... :beer

[que90nek]

i thought the loner thing was a joke...

i guess not.

I took this to mean that BETWEEN the hours of 12-4 folks will trickle in to the meeting spot and everyone will convene around 3:45 together and ride over to the hush house. So... if we don't see you until 3:45, then as long as we see you, we happy! After 4pm, we'll just coach you via cell phone on how to get to the house if you don't already have directions! This is how I understood this.

[Mocha]

sounds reasonable.

[davinci]

whew.

This is what I have been trying to say all along. I know that I pehaps have been one that may have dampen the spirits of some but the all the planning is not necessary because once we all hit Orlando it will be on. There will be enough mix of people that whatever you want to do you will have some one to do it with. I promise!!!!!!! ;)

[lightandlovely1]

Well I'm going to be flexible when I get there. I will be doing Pleasure Island. My cousin lives there and has promised to show me and anyone else who's interested some interesting places to hang out or shop.

[Tastey]

I understand your plan Brite and again, I wasn't specifically saying you. But in my opinion the absence of plans has afforded people the option of making OTHER plans. That's cool, we are all grown.

But this is my perspective. I am not flying in so I won't be at the airport with the 6 DC folk, or anyone else flying in. I will arrive at the train station ALONE, I probably am not renting a car, so I have to find transportation to uhm.. :confused: ... uhm... uhm.... who knows at this point. If we set a place...uhm who's gonna even be there? :confused: I have 4 hours to kill before I can get in the house.

I had planned to take the shuttle to the airport IF the meet and greet was there BUT nobody wants to talk about it, nobody wants to plan anything. :confused:

So, that leaves me thinking that MAYBE I need to make other plans, get a car, and go out and see the city rather than sitting alone somewhere wondering what everyone else is doing.

I'm a natural born loner, I spend 80% of my time alone but DAMN, I can stay at home and do that...so I agree my expectations are waning as well.

I feel like I either need to spend time in IM or PM making plans with "groups" of people, or make my OWN plans because the Hush Fam is not about planning.

And CL I understand that plans are not set in stone, nobody is gonna say "Hey we were supposed to be here at so and so and time and it better happen". I just would like some "structure". That's all.

[14KBlaqWmn]

While it's good to have some things planned, I think it's best to be open. When visiting different places, often there are things of interest that aren't listed online, in brochures, or anywhere else. With that said, I'm trying to make the most of this trip, so I may do the group things and I may not. We'll see. :D

[que90nek]

we've discussed this quite a bit...

most plans that have been made only involve nite time activity....dinners, clubbin....whereas most of the DAYS are FREE.


i wouldnt recommend folks use this as a personal vacation....a time to be alone.......this is a time to mingle with hush folks...........to put names behind screennames....faces behind posts....etc etc...

[Mocha]

Que.....people can be alone if they want to...speaking for myself your recommendation is not necessary.

We will be with the group and times we won't, you and anybody else will have to understand that, we grown ass people.

[que90nek]

u r right, mocha.

my recommendation is not necessary.

absolutely right.

[seductive_tee]

i plan to relax along the pool.....is there a beach near by...i would love to just stroll.....

may even enjoy the sites of the neighborhood......

just don't be waking me up hollering "T is 8am lets go, we headed here"

[Brightness]

Have I missed the disclosure of the location?

Is anybody even looking into this?

Maybe someone going to be standing at the airport with a big ol' sign saying BRIGHTNESS, blindfold me and take me to said location?

[Mocha]

What location are we meeting at. My plane lands around 1pm....so knowing where to go would be helpful....


Que: Do you have a place for that?:rolleyes:

[que90nek]

i'm done steppin up.

[Brightness]

getting your ideas shot down. . .:D :cry: :D :cry: :D :cry:

If you read my last post...I think you have done plenty!!!!

Thanks!

[Brightness]

Here's the diagrams of the airport that was posted in another thread:

ORLANDO AIRPORT (http://www.orlandoairports.net/goaa/ops/term.htm)

How about meeting in one of the hotel (Hyatt) lounges or restaurants?

But then again, the folks driving in need to be aware they might have to pay parking and 4 hours parking at most airports ain't inexpensive.

IF the folks flying in (still need to see that complete list but I think I mentally have it) can at least all meet up centrally, then we can try to coordinate with the driving folks.

Just an idea. . .

I am e-mailing the list sometime Monday. I still have not heard from a few folks and want to make sure everyone who wants their name included is included.

I was actually referring to this statement.....:(

Now I understand you don't want people to be alone..but you know how some individuals might get or could get, and maybe they ass need to be by themselves.

again.

[Mocha]

I was just letting Admin know where the feelings sparked from.


Now I know this may be hard to believe...but I am excited...I have my clothes in the cleaners, waiting to get picked up, my snacks and goodies inside my travel everywhere delta bag..I have researched clubs for us to attend...So if it doesn't seem like it, it totally not true. I am excited!

I have also prayed that any feelings that I developed during this planning stage immediately disappear once I see the first hushnicker, and I believe that will happen...so all of this back and forth with the Old heads...is extremely common so I am completely not worried about it. This will be extremely fun, and I am really axious to get it over because I am tired of planning:D I am just ready to be there.

But anyway, that was my testimony for today.:p

[que90nek]
