Hmmmmm.... I don't think I meant that I'd buy
everyone's first round... couldn't afford that!
However, I would be willing to buy one for any Marauder who makes a special effort to be there and meet us for the first time, such as Yodiwan1, wewantsdaredhead, MmeLeota, and Soarin08. As for the rest, well.... I'll probably be supplying the rum for the "Dole Whips on the Poly Beach" meet-up for whomever wants it like I did last year, so nobody's getting left out. Heck, knowing Amy, she probably still has a couple bottles she kept as souvenirs....
I like wwdrh's suggestion too: if it's not feasible for someone to buy park tickets and all, but you could at least spare one evening to meet up with us, then come to the Poly for Dole Whips on the beach! I'm really hoping MadEye will show up too. The poor guy made the effort to be there last year, but just missed us. He didn't know for sure what we looked like (plus it was pretty dark) and when he saw a group he thought might be us (it was...) we didn't hear him call out to us, so he thought he was mistaken and kept moving. Hopefully this time we'll get to meet him. I'm also hoping Jacca and Baloo can make it this time as well...
I'll have to be a Marauder in spirit though because school is in session then and there's no way I could get the time off. My boss said something about getting the summers off and having to work trips around that.
