Okay, I've got my tux pressed. Now... who's bringing what and who's running the hospitality suite? Travelling with booze'll be tough for me, but I'll certainly make a run to the local fine spirits house once in town. Fun!

It usually falls to Al to run the hospitality suite for these shindigs... Al, how are you feeling about this? If you're looking forward to playing the host, I wouldn't want to take that away from you (and I'd happily contribute any way I can), but on the other hand, if you'd like to take this turn out and relax for a change, I'd happily take a stab at the mixology. Let us know. If nothing else, I'll at least contribute some drink mixing supplies, and I'll bring my uke.
Weirdunc's tux quip does bring up the point... we're a come-as-you are group to be sure, but do we want to go dressy for our intimate little soiree? It *is* Palm Springs. Ooh la la.

booked
Fri & Sat night.
We obviously will get together on New Years eve but does anyone have fun ideas to spend some of our daylight hours together?
Our group might be small enough to caravan around to see some sights (bring walkie talkies).
Bocci ball on the lanai? Board games? Thrifting?
Not sure how warm the weather will be for swimming...

I imagine a lot of stuff may be closed New Year's Day, which might be just as well, since we may be asleep/hung over. Miles' show is still running at M Modern Gallery, which is right on the main drag, I'll try to remember to email Jay & Mishell to give them warning that some tikiphiles will be in town.  Mig & I know where Elvis & Liberace used to live, and we could do a wee tour. The tram ride is terrifying and a little pricey, but worth it.
