Inaugural Wordapalooza June 22-23, 2002.
EDIT on AUG 23,2001: Dear friends, if you learn anything useful as we go along, hotels, transportation, car-pooling etc., et.al., that ilk, please post it here!
We now return you to the original thread... Thank you
This is where original Part 2 started:
Now, let's get serious about this first Wordapalooza.
Surely we must consider a fee payable per person for the use of Sparteye's home.
Consider : her water bill will triple as will her electric and those are just two large things -- even the small stuff like toilet paper and hand soap add up. Never mind all the chemicals and care for the pool!
$10 per adult and $5 per child? If Pearl has to come with me I'll be glad to pay a child's fee for Her Princessness. So, what's the reaction ... whadda ya think?
For the original idea from, and the invitation extended by Sparteye search for "Wordapalooza" in Information and Announcements category.

If you bring Pearl, you'll have paid for your rent. Jeff will just l-u-u-u-r-v-e having another dog around. Provided of course, he's not too short-sighted to see her, so to speak! [lonely canines hearts club-e]

Thanks, wow, for your concern. But before we start passing the plate, let's see what we are really going to need, and how it will be provided. Since this is a cooperative effort, a lot of things will be provided by different members of the group. And since I'll have no travel costs, I am certainly in a position to contribute a bit more to supplies than otherwise. Let's let the financial committee figure out what will need to be purchased and then we can collect for that general fund.

Sorry to go tromping on toes right and left ... apologies to all ... I just reverted to my editor's mentality and, sensing a great story, I went into organizational mode.
So I'll go away now and promise to try n' behave myself in future.

Have spent the day tracking down accommodations in the East Lansing area...if you plan to stay in a hotel or motel instead of at Sprteye's house, please be aware of the following : From local Yellow Pages : Sparteye sent me: The Colonial Motel; 1505 South Main Eaton Rapids MI, phone 1-517-663-9813 Take all major cards. Some kitchenettes, AC etc. They do NOT take reservations more than a month in advance. I spoke directly by phone to Colonial Inn deskman and he actually laughed when I asked for June 2002 reservations! Given what comes next I would call in April 2002 and insist! Another suggestion from Sparteye is the very elegant English Inn see http://www.EnglishInn.com The phone is 1-517-663-2500 and you can contact them online ... HOWEVER rooms available ONLY June 21 and 22 The Inn is completely booked by one party on June Sun. 23rd and Mon. 24th. The Marriot Residence Inn in East Lansing completely booked. This hotel takes dogs so AAA tried there and even called direct -- no joy. Apparently there is some big thing happening in area that weekend. Suggest you contact your area AAA for info and bookings. By the way you do NOT have to be a AAA member to book air travelthrough them, and if you book air tickets thru them they are good about helping with hotels. I know, as I managed an AAA office in long ago. More as it comes in.

I was a bit confused when I read Sparteye's invitation for all of us to just come over to her house...there are 2618 of us (last I checked), and it looks like a good portion of that number are interested in this event!
