Prior to leaving for
the evening, Emily & April had some time to kill.
Then again, I think they were trying to kill themselves!
There were no screens on these windows & we were EIGHT stories
up!
"'Trying' to see the capitol from
my room window
(and scaring my mother half to death)" -- Emee
Plans had to be
changed at the last minute, since Planet Hollywood shut their
doors just one week prior to CV2001. The Capitol City Brewery was happy to accommodate us.
Jenny & Graham headed over to decorate for "That Touch of
Drink." Cary Grant swizzle sticks, champagne bottles
with pink 'froth' flowing from them, the recipes for various
drinks from different CG movies, bright stars & photos of Cary
& Doris Day made for a festive atmosphere! (And lots of
good memorabilia for my scrapbook!)
Bill Neal, LeeAnn Neal, Joan
Shacklette & Patty Treiber.
Joan & Patty came
to be known as our "Unplugged" Warbrides.
Neither of them have a computer. Joan found us one day while
cruising the internet at a friend's house. She emailed me
from her friend's computer and asked me for details of
CV2001. I thought it would be easier to call her with the
info, only to discover that she'd already booked her flight by the
time I called! Joan's biggest fear was that we'd all think
she was weird for liking Cary so much! Just wait till she
sees Cheryl wearing the centerpiece at Gunga Dinner, then we'll
decide who's weird!!
