My only concerns were with drunk individuals who thought they were so self-important as to cut into lines at some of the room parties, i.e. Lemoncello Lounge. Here was a way cool party where limited edition mugs were going to be handed out. A line of patient individuals formed and waited. However, it was well noticed that more than a few individuals headed to the front of the line and crashed into the room rather than wait their turn.

Being drunk is not an excuse for bad behavior. Hell, the rest of the line was just as drunk.

In my experience, drunk rude people are also sober rude people.

You know who you are.

Ok, I was one of the "self important" individuals who "cut" in line at the "Lemoncello Lounge"(it's Limoncello, by the way) with Bamboo Ben and my wife to get the last of the decorations put up that Ben had. My wife said she was sorry to the people who were bitching about it on the way in, but I myself am NOT sorry at all. I'm a vendor and the ONLY commercial carver doing a demonstration all weekend long and I don't have the time to enjoy anything at all, let alone wait in line for a shotglass that I don't even want when I'm trying to get things done. Some of us who are there are there to work and sacrifice our good times to enhance yours because that's what we enjoy. Do you want to know what it's like to put on a 16 hour demonstration while you're on vacation? I tolly enjoy it, but am totally beat afterwards. Just something to think about instead of getting an ulcer, wondering if they'll run out of mugs before you get one. If you didn't, I'll send you mine, even though I missed 90 percent of Oasis.....and just missed an episode of King of the Hill, typing this up.

And by the way, didn't get "drunk" until everyone else was passed out and just before bed. I find it hard to enjoy my libations in tight proximity with so many unfamiliar people. Gotta make sure my sense of humor dosen't upset anyone, you know? Just another sacrifice. Is there anything else I can do for you?
