    I left a message at first. Tried back after an hour because my wife was adamant that we have a cabin. I believe there were two cabins left after mine, numbers 5 & 6.

    I'll get a hotel room again this year.  I'll need a break from you miscreants!

    My wonderful wife doesn't drink and might be agreeable to running a shuttle to hotels at the end of the evening if someone needs a ride.

    I think in past years folks have just tended to pass out in whatever chairs they were sitting in around 1 or 2 am.  @JRWhitee can chime in here.

    Just got off the phone with Kitty after reserving Cabin #1. Not sure which one of you is Adam but you definitely left an impression. 

    We we will be arriving Thursday evening so that we are available all day Friday for shopping, prep, etc. 

    I take it there is a spot near Shelter 2 to park Ol' Mortimer?

    For sure there is room near Shelter 2 for your rig.  @Thatgrimguy was able to park his rig right next to it two years ago, no problem.

    Sounds good. I will remove the tongue and run a cable lock through the frame and around a pillar to keep it from growing legs.

    I really regretted not staying on premises for BB1.  I think others regretted staying off site too.  The Friday and Saturday night stuff is epic.

    It was meant to prevent that kind of Butt Blast, like a shield against miscreants.

    When I called to make my reservation, the lady on the phone (Kitty I think) had just finished talking to @YukonRon.  She is quite the character.  

    She said, and I quote - "He said he's from LOO-VILL but it's spelled like LOU-ISS-VILLE.  I don't know if that boy can't talk or if he just can't spell!"  

    I just told her that he was from Kentucky and she said "Well that explains EVERYTHING!"
    It is pronounced Luhlvuhl. Get it right......I might be country as cornbread, but I can speak Kentucky English.

    Word on the street is that all of the cabins have now been booked.   That's got to be record time.

    In english “Kentucky English” is an antonym.

    one of you assclowns grabbed my cabin while I was on hold. I have a very special set of skills. I will find you, and I will...probably have drink with you or something like that.
    There's room for two to sleep inside Ol' Mortimer if you don't mind the smell of smoke.

    @CTMike I'm in Cabin 2, looks like we're gonna be neighbors.

    You would enjoy a drink with Rick (The_Stache), especially if he's sharing his beer.

    I'm already worried enough I'm going to wake up with an apple in my mouth and my hands tied up no matter where I sleep.

    While I appreciate the generous hospitality, my wife gets jealous if I spoon with anyone else.

    If I am still married by April I will be with TFJ (The Fabulous Janell for those who are not "in the know"). It's been 25 years but I'm still on a week-to-week trial period in her eyes. She's smart like that.

    What could possibly go wrong, bunking with someone who is a self-described "Chief Flatulator" at a festival named "Butt Blast" ?
