I considered it, but......

Well, you had me at cowboy hat, but lost me when you said I had to leave my lasso & shotgun at home. I know of no other way to wrangle 90+women together. ;-)

Whip?

She didn't say anything about whips and I am sure there will be bloghers willing and planning to bring their own.~TW

tarnation!

I had no idea y'all were such a martial law type bunch.. I am suddenly a little worried that my peaches and cream approach to volunteer management will seem a bit vanilla...

Fine, bring lassos. Not sure about the whips and guns, but lassos around a swimming pool with cocktail consumption at a high would be HILARIOUS!

Well, I am from Texas

We're born with a cowboy hat on (poor mom) and learn to shoot in kindergarten. I'll just mosey on down to the store and get me some lassos for the pool party! HA!

But you are right...I have seen many of these ladies after the cocktails. Lassos by the pool would be UNforgetable! ;-) (Think I can get them through security at the airport?)

probably

Tell the security guard you are going to a hotel full of drunk women and that you think maybe you can sneak him in, if he'll let you through the gates with the lassos...

Okay that was so totally incorrect...

I mean, what if the guard's gay. Then he won't care a hoot, and you'll lose the lassos..

Let me think on it and I'll get back to you.
