Well, put him down and pay attention!

**Rhythm King** · 9th-June-2005, 02:44 PM

I've just been told I have to attend a conference between 16th-21st October

The conference is in Miami, Florida

Once I get the itinerary, I'll know whether I can get up to the BFG, for part of the weekend.

Fingers crossed...

Sorry. It's just that whenever I talk about it it turns into a rant.

Am trying to console myself with the fact that the bride-to-be says I can go with her when she goes to choose the dress...

And you know what's REALLY rubbing salt into the wound? They've been engaged since February. Did they tell me they were engaged? No. Why? Because my friend's fiance, who in fact I've known longer than her by 5 YEARS was worried I would say something to his ex-girlfriend, and he wanted her to find out from him.

Let's ignore the fact that because HE announced to her that his fiancee and I were really good friends, SHE has not spoken to me in months. Let's also ignore the fact that I haven't seen any of my university friends who MIGHT tell her for YEARS.

And last but not least, there's the fact that he seems to have ignored the possibility that I could KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT IF HE ASKED ME TO.

Sorry. Came over all ranty for a minute there. But it really hurt. AND I can't go to the BFG. I believe the technical term for the situation is 'suckfest'.

er.. so dont go to their stupid wedding, come to the BFG instead. You know it makes sense.

Oh yes, how very popular that would make me as I'm making their cake for them (an old offer which still stands).

But really, I'm looking forward to it for two reasons, if no others: Firstly, my best friend will be coming over from the States for it. He hasn't said so, but I know he will because the groom is his best male friend. So I get to see him and his wife and play Turtle Club for several hours.

Secondly: They're not having a dance, but a cabaret. Meaning that they want their friends to do things for the cabaret. So I might get to show off my Ceroc skills- I just need, as I've said elsewhere, a proper regular partner who is not going to the BFG and who's up for it. They'll get cake. Can't guarantee anything more, but as I'm making the cake, they'll have cake.

Hi Bardsey,

There's a thread with some details (not all available yet I think) here.

There's also info on hotels starting at page 1 of this thread.

**LilyB** · 11th-July-2005, 04:56 PM

DavidB & I have just booked our flights for the BFG weekend

. Will be booking the Angus Hotel if they still have rooms available.

It's gonna be a fab weekend!

Who else is coming?

I like the kilt Minnie-you should be sure to wear it when you venture Northwards

And the plane is very lovely

Also, I can't do cartwheels either-the most I could manage was a forward roll

I'm still working on that Yoga shoulder stand though

Maybe i'll be able to do it properly in a couple of years, and get my legs right over my head
