Just so they know.
MONEY IS DUE BEFORE THE TRIP.
Mail it to our house 42035 W. Ridge. Novi MI 48375
Doug and Mote are paid (That is IT)
Some people have sent 100 deposits to they will have to pay the REST BY FEB 15th!!
Okay everyone here is the updated on the condo situation as of today.
We have 2 condos the one bedroom condo and MEGA condo.
One bedroom condo will house
Tony Portelli
Buffet
Doug Weston
Jeff Mote
Everyone else will be in the MEGA CONDO
I found us a 2000 - 2500 sq ft apartment by the 201 restaruant which is 1/2 block from the house of blues. Actually if you look out the windows you can see the house of blues from the unit.
Good news
The elevator opens up to our room.
2000 a week.
2000/12 = 166 a person
Full kitchen
island in the kitchen
and everything else.
Let me know
Bad news
furniture in the rooms.The unit only has 2 bedrooms
one bedroom is on one floor and the other one is in a loft.
All the rooms are about 20x20 so there is plenty of space in this joint
The quote from the guy was that you could sleep 15 people in the upstairs bedroom.
I believe both bedrooms have couches and other
The unit only has 2 bathrooms
So obviously this is bad because we all have to be in one unit?
These units aren't exactly in the SAME BUILDING they are down the street from each other so I figure it would be better to just keep everyone together?
NON-LIVE FOOD ORDERS
EVeryone go to netgrocer.com and tell me what products you want me to have sent to the CONDO for mardi GRAS.
Remember how it works
You tell me IN DETAIL what products you wants that are not dairy or live.

salsa
BEANS!!!!
And whatever else you would like EMAIL ME!
LIVE FOOD ORDERS
Anything that is LIVE like
lunch meat

EMAIL DOUG with this LIST.
BEER or ALCOHOL situation
Well we are still waiting for the NUMBERS from DOUG, for those of you that went LAST year Mardi Gras. But I'm sure they will not be in so I think me and weston probably will eat that like we usually do. OH WELL.
So please send all BEER and BOTTLE wine cooler requests to WESTON he will be in CHARGE of the store RUN!
For those passengers flying OUT OF DETROIT at 9:25 am on March 3 2000.
When we land we will be getting either one or 1 limos to take us to the condos depending on how much SHIT we have packed with us. We have to fit the (20) 30 packs in the LIMO this year so we might run out of ROOM.
take care!!!
Condo Information:
If you plan on staying in a condo I need to get $100 security deposit that is
NON-REFUNDABLE because all the money for the condo needs to be paid up front and there is
NO REFUNDs. The condo's that we booked last year was pretty nice. Had a balcony, hot tub,
kitchen, and all the things that you hope a nice condo will have. They slept 4 people
unless you want to sleep on the floor. One condo for the week is around $1500 which breaks
down to about $375 per person if you sleep 4 in your condo.
Flight Information:
The longer you wait to book your flight the higher the price. Some of us
bought our tickets back in March for $202.04. Prices as of 10/03/1998 is about
$489 for direct depending on what times you want to fly. Last year when we tried to book our flight
tickets in Nov they were running around $500 direct into New Orleans.
Bead Information:
I would recommend considering buying beads before you go down to New Orleans to try to save some money contact Doug or Tony for more information in buying beads.
The Mardi Gras Colors:
| Purple - Justice |
| Green - Faith |
| Gold - Power |
People that are currently BOOKED to go:
Are confirmed passengers that will be leaving on 9:25 AM March 3rd to March 11th 2000.
If anyone else is interested in going please let me know because I'm starting to book the condos and need a head count. The LAST day to let me know will be Nov 15th 1999 with the money paid.
Thank you
And if you have any questions please feel free to email me at Tony.Portelli@tridelec.com
