Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You have to PAY to see Old Naked People?

I saw MANY young, buffed, beautiful naked people last time I was there.

But it's not about that, we just love the party atmosphere,

so if anybody has any info about the parties and which are worth the $ then please reply. It's been around 10 years since I went down there for the fest.

I've always wanted to go but have never made it down. Hope you do a trip report when you get back. Have fun!!

Ackislander, if all you saw were OLD naked people, you must need new glasses -- bad!

AAFF, Google is a great thing. I'm not sure what kind of party you're looking for -- particularly gay or straight, but this really sums up all the parties with pretty good description.

We have a timeshare that starts the last day of FF (Saturday), so we're always there for parade night. The first 3 or 4 years we watched the parade and enjoyed it, but then it became less and less interesting. The mob got pushier, more rowdy, and a few years ago in the middle of the day a couple did something on Duval Street that's normally done in bed. The "audience" clapped. (I'm trying to keep from getting my post deleted). Fortunately we weren't there.

I thought most - if not all - of the parties were earlier in the week.

My experience is limited to Internet posting by people whose cameras seem to point automatically to the stout and the sagging. I can see that in my own mirror!

Yeah, she's old and ugly and fat...

Go to www.fantasyfestparties.com/
This is the best I've found listing the parties. They don't have all of them, but more than the official Fantasy Fest web site. The ones with three $$$, can be up to $100 if you want a guaranteed table.

I think the Hemingway Days would be more my speed. Got the beard and (a little) of the belly.

you can reserve a seat on their porch. Anyone that has a porch has reserved seating and that is the way to go unless you don't care about the pushing and shoving in the crowds.

Definitely Fetish and Fantasy for you, AA <G>

flpab,

Thank you very much for the suggestion. We contacted HR and they still have few tables left on the balcony, but @ $250 pp, we chose to pass. Granted, it does include dinner and a glass or 2 of wine or beer, but that's a lot of money for a dinner at HR even with a comfy view of the parade included.

Just got home. Great time.

Will post pictures of all the "fat and old people" including pics of us.
