Hey, my imaginary BT friends –
I have a PolySteel (ICF) seminar to attend September 14 and 15 in Savannah. Since Monster House will be ICFs, I better learn the latest!
I am 3-1/2 hrs away here, too far to commute.
The space they have reserved for us is somewhere called “The ThunderBird Inn”, where I’m imagining their signature fortified wine is served with every meal!
I’d hoped some of the BT brethern living within a half hour or so from Savannah could set me up with a bed the night of the 13th and the 14th (Thursday and Friday nights) – I’d just drive home after the class on the 15th.
I don’t smoke or travel with a dog.
Thanks for yer consideration
Forrest

IIRC, the "Thunderbird" is actually a pretty schmancy place.
We're headed down to Jekyll Island in October. Probably go back to Savannah for a day trip. Let me know if the Thunderbird is the place to be seen.

Yup - that's why I'm going. I've been asked to straighten a couple of things out.

Hey, I appreciate you guys keeping this thread alive - maybe a friendly soul will see it . . .

Sorry about the hijack. I've been fascinated with Savannah for years. It and Key West are two of my favorite vacation destinations for basically the same reasons. Wouldn't want to live in either one, though.

I've not stayed there, but I've seen it. Looks interesting.

Looks like it was transplanted from about any off the beaten path town out West.

Sure this has been addressed, but I don't coem around asw much as I used to.
Are you doing an actual "Monster house" or just stealing the name for a project of yours?
just curious,

The bad news is you've done exactly the right things to be exactly where you are today.

Yes - there's a thread in the Photo section - "Unreal Client Direction".

Forrest,
Sorry, I'm 9 hours away from Savannah, otherwise I'd offer my monster house to you. Next conference in DC though, you've got a place to crash.
But, if you are looking for a place in Savannah, I'd heartily recommend the place I stayed on my last trip there, the Mansion on Forsyth Park. Historic mansion renovated into a hip hotel. It's got that whole funky historic/spooky haunted motif going, and somehow I think you'd dig it.

Forrest - anticipatin' da ThunderBird . . .
man my oldest son's flava-aw-de-week resides in Savannah but she is a stripper and I don't think your lovley wife would app. that,---[one I don't think he'll bring around thanksgiving or christmas,to meet the folks]--sorry!
Aw heck, my first SIL was a stripper - finally left my brother for another woman.
Also, I'll bet there are lots of puns and double entendres that could come from that - something like -
"SIPS to Strips - September in Savannah"
Maybe it'll keep this thread alive 'til someone sees it . . .

Anyone? I'll have to make reservations at the old Thunderbird by this weekend . . .
Means I have to drive the ol' truck, and not my baby hotrod, if I have to park in a hotel parking lot.
Sigh

Okay, so nobody came through - I made my res. at the recommended "ThunderBird" in Savannah. Afterward, I thought I'd check for online reviews - got this:
OMG!
Wait - that can't be right. It says "Motel" not "Inn". Whew! Re-search. I get this instead:
Savannah: Thunderbird Inn: "Dirty Sheets, No Housekeeping"
Great. Tons better . . .

All you need is some Bourbon, and an Asian Hooker and you're set.

Is that the level of service I can expect if I'm staying at your place for Ironman? LOL
You bet. You think you were tossing your cookies this year. Wait untill you're Hollering for Ralph and scratching the crabs.

Bourbon, I've got. Seems like I'll try to pick up some Thunderbird on the way down - want her to feel at home.

Boy, doesn't that sound prophetic!
