FAQ:

Q: Are you serious?
A: What do you think?

Q: What about bands, DJs, a fashion show?
A: We have an event. See above for details. Besides, we usually end
up skipping all that stuff in favor of drinking with friends anyway.

Q: What is your venue?
A: Depends on our attendance. For now, we’re aiming for Elizabeth
Street, Tampa. It’s a nice quiet street. If we get more people, we
can always utilize one of the many vacant parking lots nearby.

Q: Where is “Ybor City”?
A: A top secret bunker somewhere in the State of Florida. A bunker
with beer.

Q: What hotels are you looking at?
A: Ybor only has 3, 1 of which is a trendy (read: expensive) boutique
hotel. You get the Hilton or the Hampton Inn.

Q: Summer? In Florida? Are you insane?
A: Hey, we live here. Besides, y'all are gonna bitch about the heat
no matter when we propose. Might as well have a reason for all the
bitching.

Q: Your web page sucks.
A: That’s a statement, not a question. Anyway, we’re drunks, not web
designers.

Q: Who the hell are you people?
A: You either know us or you don’t. We’re not gonna waste hours
whipping out our Convergence and/or alt.gothic e-peens for ya. Those
who know us understand that this is exactly like something we’d do.

Q: What will tickets cost?
A: We have to recoup our significant capital purchases (kiddie pool,
remote controlled shark) and advertising in the Village Voice, so
we’re anticipating a cover charge of _at least_ $5.00.

*No actual sharks will be harmed during this event. In order to
ensure the safety of TheOneFonz™ and to keep costs low, the C14
committee will be using fake sharks, but they will still be surly.
