AMTRAKATHON 2017 Is On It's Way!

[Dr. Pyro]

"Oh my God, not again! Please don't make me have so damn much fun and party all hours of the night!" I hear you cry. Unfortunately, for those of you who still have a few meandering brain cells left over from last year's slide into bacchanalian excess and debauchery--and let's not forget a certain degree of rampant nudity--we again are getting ready for AMTRAKATHON 2017! We will be departing from the Roseville Amtrak station on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at 11:35 a.m. and getting into Reno at 4:00 p.m. For those of you who cannot make the train but want to meet up for a Burning Man-inspired party in Reno which will be "totally off the rails", meet up beginning at 7:00 p.m. on the 17th floor of the Regency Tower at the not-particularly-luxurious Sands Regency. We are looking to take down all of the luxury suites for the party (first come, first served) and the hot tub and sauna are open until 9:00 p.m. If you'd like an invitation for the train trip itself (includes round trip transportation, bottomless champagne and beer, catered lunch, and a room at the Sands) PM me and I'll get one off to you right away. We can only take the first 60 revelers so act fast! Anyone who has ever done this in the past will tell you it is one helluva party.

Pssssssst: And the password is "pineapple".

I can't wait! Patsh, if you come you can stay with me. I promise not to drink Tequila with mango juice and stay up all night hugging the toilet. (Like last year.)

We'll shit, I am still unpacking from my most recent trip to the left coast and you already plan another reason to trek 3,000 miles....

[lucky420]

you should just get a storage here. it wont have electricity but you could borrow my marine battery and a sleeping bag. Then you could say you have a second home in Reno

[Dr. Pyro]

OK, just booked two suites for Ygmir and myself. All the rest (except for Lucky's of course) are still available. If you want to know how to book a suite for yourself, PM me. If you just want to stay at The Sands in a regular room at our cost for that Saturday night, I will be happy to help you with that as well. Give, give, give; does my generosity ever end?

[Ratty]

Made out a check to mail tomorrow cause I had a fine time last year.

[Elorrum]

I look forward to the gathering. A spare bedroom it's not, but what it's got is a cot.

Golly. It's stuff like this that makes me so happy...

I'll bring vodka and organic mango nectar

[trilobyte]

After years of virtually watching from the sidelines, my sweetie and I will finally be able to join in this year. Woohoo - all aboard!

[lucky420]

woohooooooo

[mudpuppy000]

Our camp is going to do a ripoff Amtrakathon in November/December sometime. Los Angeles union station to Santa Barbara for wine tasting/drinking and back.

[Dr. Pyro]

<bump>

We are now over 60% full! Last year at this time we had sold 1/3 of our spaces so this will certainly sell out shortly. For those of you in Northern California now would be a good time to holler "all aboard!" and join in the fun!

[Ratty]

Getting ready for the Amtrakathon is so much fun.

[Dr. Pyro]

<bump>

We have sold 44 of our 56 spaces so it's getting close! I just heard from Ygmir and though he will absolutely be at the party at The Sands, his suite 1762 (I believe it is known as the Lost Virginity Suite) is available for anyone who wants to go in luxury. PM me and I will steer you in the right direction.

[Ratty]

Wheeeeeeeeeeee.

[patent_pending]

I'm trying to book Suite 1762, but some joker named Henry somethingorother has his hooks on it!

careful: that guy is one mean mutha..........though devilishly handsome and witty.

[Dr. Pyro]

For those of you who have gone to Amtrakathon in the past, you may remember Jim Taylor. He's gone every year since it's inception and had paid for 2017 already. He passed away over Thanksgiving (heart attack) and of course we have refunded to his estate his money and sent along our condolences. But this does open up another two spaces. So we have 8 slots left to fill so if you want in on the fun, debauchery, and occasional nudity, PM me and I'll get you set up.

R.I.P. Jim. You will be missed.

[lucky420]

Oh how very sad. I prob would recognize him by face. Condolences to his family

[Ratty]

Jan 28th is Chinese New Years. Gun ho fat boy.

[Dr. Pyro]

We are now officially SOLD OUT! If anyone wants to go it's wait-list only. You can also have me reserve a room for you at The Sands for Saturday night at my cost. (Something like $68 if memory serves.) Some just arrive for the party! And getting naked in the huge jacuzzi on the 17th floor of the Empress Tower (same floor as the party) around 7 p.m. is also on the agenda.

[Ratty]

Where is that jacuzzi?

[Dr. Pyro]

On the 17th floor of the Embassy Tower, just to the left as you're facing suite 1755. You need your room key to get in. Just down the hall from where the party will be held.

[Dr. Pyro]

Oh, and for those of you going up on the train (Trilo, Ratty, et al) I really need your sandwich order. Since it's a group order I have to have it in to the caterer next week. You can PM me with your choice (ham, veggie, turkey, roast beef, tuna) and if you want something other than a French roll (for example wheat, sourdough, or rye) I need to know that as well. Also if you're gluten intolerant, we do have the option of having it on a tortilla, but frankly that is a bit of a hassle though we will do it.

[Netty58]

I perused the comments on this last year and again this year.

Golly, it sounds like fun.

I'll have a veggie. Doc, if you can send it to my office in Baltimore, where, may I add, it is 68 degrees.
