FAQ:
Q: Are you serious?
A: What do you think?
Q: What about bands, DJs, a fa****on show?
A: We have an event. See above for details. Besides, we usually end
up skipping all that stuff in favor of drinking with friends anyway.
Q: What is your venue?
A: Depends on our attendance. For now, we=E2=80=99re aiming for Elizabeth
Street, Tampa. It=E2=80=99s a nice quiet street. If we get more people,
we
can always utilize one of the many vacant parking lots nearby.
Q: Where is =E2=80=9CYbor City=E2=80=9D?
A: A top secret bunker somewhere in the State of Florida. A bunker
with beer.
Q: What hotels are you looking at?
A: Ybor only has 3, 1 of which is a trendy (read: expensive) boutique
hotel. You get the Hilton or the Hampton Inn.
Q: Summer? In Florida? Are you insane?
A: Hey, we live here. Besides, y'all are gonna ***** about the heat
no matter when we propose. Might as well have a reason for all the
*****ing.
Q: Your web page sucks.
A: That=E2=80=99s a statement, not a question. Anyway, we=E2=80=99re
drun=
ks, not web
designers.
Q: Who the hell are you people?
A: You either know us or you don=E2=80=99t. We=E2=80=99re not gonna
waste=
hours
whipping out our Convergence and/or alt.gothic e-peens for ya. Those
who know us understand that this is exactly like something we=E2=80=99d
do.
Q: What will tickets cost?
A: We have to recoup our significant capital purchases (kiddie pool,
remote controlled shark) and advertising in the Village Voice, so
we=E2=80=99re anticipating a cover charge of _at least_ $5.00.
*No actual sharks will be harmed during this event. In order to
ensure the safety of TheOneFonz=E2=84=A2 and to keep costs low, the C14
committee will be using fake sharks, but they will still be surly.
