I'm posting this for sarahh. Her internet is down and probably won't be back until tomorrow.
So here's her report on the goings on at Chicago 2008
__________
Chicago 2008
I've been down with illness for a couple of days, both myself and my internet connection, and didn't get this up as soon as I wished. Apparently I didn't get enough sleep during the Lit-together? Rob, bless his heart, is starting this thread for me until I can get back on my feet.
These are some thoughts from me and some of my experiences. Of course, each person has their own unique take on this event, and there were quite a few people and quite a few different party rooms in Chicago this year.
Please feel free to add your own personal stories.
THURSDAY
Travel plans were interesting. Gas was expensive, more expensive than I thought it would be, but still I'd planned enough to manage. Left my house at 5:01 a.m. I had to go around 600 miles, most of it solid highway travel, which turned out to be a good thing.
I made good time, averaging more than 75 miles an hour or so, tried for books on CD but grew tired with that at one point so I turned it off and listened to the radio. That was annoying, as it seemed they kept doing a test of the emergency broadcast system. Again and again.
Finally I realized that perhaps there really WAS a reason for the test of the emergency broadcast system. And there was. Black sky, dark dark clouds, and me driving right into a severe thunderstorm. The warning was for high winds, dangerous lightning and quarter inch sized hail. Oops.
At first I managed to outrun the storm by going straight north. Eventually I had to turn east, so the entire system caught back up with me. Except by now it had grown colder, and by the time I made it to Illinois the rain had turned to snow. Evil snow, and slush, and ice bits gathering on the windshields and causing slippery spots all over the road.
The wind was blowing so strongly the snow was pretty much horizontal. Bizarre. At times, it was coming down so fast we had near white out conditions. Looked like a damn blizzard. Does God hate Lit-togethers?

It was very slippery on the highway. At one point a poorly driven Panera bread truck nearly forced me from the road. I may never eat their bread again. I reduced speed somewhat even though the police seemed far more interested in dealing with the multitude of accidents than worrying about my little zippy vehicle.
I have a slight phobia of bridges even in mild weather so it was with a bit of shock that I realized I was about to go over the Mississippi River. Talk about paranoia! I couldn't see more than twenty feet in front of me, the bridge was slippery, and I was certain I was going to wind up into the water. I kept telling myself as I drove - don't look out over the water - don't look at the water - don't look at the water!!! And so of course, I peeked to my right, and then thought, "I looked!" Then I laughed. What an idiot. Couldn't see much because of the snow, anyway.
By the time I arrived at the hotel in Des Plaines, I was exhausted. My 8 hour trip had become about nine and a half hours. Unable to use cruise control because of the unstable road conditions, my right leg and ass cheek were quite weary. It was a little tough to walk once I got out of the car. Not to mention the uneven way my butt was gonna look in my jeans.
Still, I checked in and the gals at the front desk were very nice. In fact, the entire staff was nice (with perhaps the exception of Larry, who seemed to have made a few errors with our group) but Patty (his assistant) certainly handled everything competently. She's already helped us make plans for next year. I unloaded a few things from my car and found my room. Didn't see anyone else yet, but that tub looked pretty fine to me! I indulged in some "me" time.
The guest computer system was down in the rooms. For hours. And when they finally fixed it all by the next morning, MY computer was fucked. Probably from the stuff they had me to do to try to get on the system before they realized the problem was theirs, not mine. My laptop did work in the lobby on wireless, but the wired system in the room never did. That was a pain, since I really did NEED my computer at times - you know, like accessing the party list? Anyway. I may just bring my router from home next time. No sense not being able to get online.
That first night we had a few Lit-folk in residence. JagFarlane, rgraham666, pleaz_me, Emperor_Nero, OneLustyWench, dr_mabeuse. Some of us had a repeat of last year's Greek restaurant and Green Mill Lounge club experience, others hit a restaurant and fellowship and didn't have nearly as much wine as I did. Ahem.
But hey - that elevator was evil. And just because I had difficulty navigating on my heels (and dropped my cell phone) did NOT mean the elevator wasn't trying to crush my head. Just saying.
Oh, and that first night? Security was called to the hotel and it wasn't even our fault.
Apparently a bride and groom (whose wedding was supposed to be Friday - the next day) were having a major league argument in the hall. The police had to sort it out. Very amusing to us and to the staff, by the way. What was most funny (or sad) was that the next morning on the meeting board list the wedding was listed as canceled. Oops.
FRIDAY
Next morning a group of us went to breakfast at the IHop. A terrific hotel perk was that restaurants and general stores are within walking distance. And many enjoyed the free shuttle back and forth from O'Hare. All positives. Anyway, at the IHOP we went through about eighteen pots of coffee and all sorts of yummy breakfast carbs. And we laughed and flirted and enjoyed each other's company.
Later that afternoon the couple that canceled the wedding had another fight, this time in the parking lot. The police were again in residence. The hotel employees were concerned that no one would want to be at the hotel because of all the cops. And then Patty told us that the husband was yelling to the police as they took him away (he was really drunk) "Hey - that's okay! We'll just go get married and go and fight somewhere else!" Guess they did. We never saw 'em again.
Other Litsters began to arrive at all hours on Friday. There was a bit of hotel confusion but they finally got us all on the same floor. This problem has been fixed for next year, by the way, so no worries on that front. We liked seeing our group name on the Hotel Message Board.

We did get an anonymous message from a hotel troll. Hopefully we can scan the letter in and add it to the thread. Some folks were very annoyed that we were talking in the hallways in the AFTERNOON. We were called insensitive and rude because they had apparently been awake since 3:00 a.m. Hokay. Turns out it wasn't even us, just more of the wedding party buffoons. But still, we laughed at the letter. Trolls.
Oh! Then later Wenchie had a marvelous idea - it didn't pan out but it was quite clever. She wondered if the hotel had prepared any food for the wedding and wondered if we could buy it cheaply for OUR gathering. We did go down and ask, but it turned out the catering came from another source. Nice try, though.
Wenchie and pleaz_me and myself did the decorating for the party. Minimal, but cute. The minty peckers and boobies were a lovely hit (and tasty, too) and we all got a kick out of the blow up sheep (with convenient hole) and the giant six foot inflatable penis provided by pleaz_me. Damn. Nice dick.

I kept trying to catch a quick nap - never got the chance. As soon as I would lay down my cell would ring or the room phone or someone would knock at the door. So it was fine. For next year I have a change for this, too. It was really too difficult for people to get in touch with me via my cell. Hotel interference, my computer not working, whatever. I think as soon as I check in at the next gathering I'll PM everyone my room number and the hotel phone. People can locate me via that, perhaps. Leave messages on the phone or at the hotel. Just an idea.
It was about that time that I realized I wanted a taco. Had a serious need for solid Mexican food. Drove around a bit with Wenchie, couldn't find anything. I settled for a toasted sub.
So - everyone began to arrive for the party. Some dressed up, some in bunny slippers. Ahem. There really was enough room to mingle (though we had too many tables) but we learned from the experience. We'll double up the party room size next year and we've already discovered we can get the room all day. It can also serve as a staging area when people check in, a hospitality room, in essence, especially if they arrive before their room is ready.

Attendees at the Friday night event? Here's a list. As I type this, I have a feeling I'll leave someone off. If I do - please let me know so I can fix it!
Attendees: AvoidingRealWork, bluefoxlady, CrazyOldLady, dr_mabeuse, Emperor_Nero, fieryjen and hubby, FrecklesAllOver, JagFarlane, Katyusha and hubby, mansome, mark197205, OneLustyWench, pleaz_me, Rayman40, RedHairedAndFriendly, Remec, rgraham666, S-Des, slyc_willie, snackson, sweetsubsarahh, SweetWitch, TE999, Yes_YEs_YES and Zeb_Carter.
We did have a vicarious visit via a poster from impressive and Belegon. They look good.
We did manage a group photo - asked the bartender Charley to come over and take some shots. This is from my camera - not the best - but it gives you an idea of the group attending. (Isn't this an incredible looking bunch of folks?) And there are a few people who were present who chose not to be in the group photo. No problem there. We tried to remain fairly serious about privacy issues throughout the weekend.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b318/sweetsubsarahh/Chicago2008037-1.jpg
We stayed at the meeting room until 10:00 p.m., gave some door prizes, flirted and laughed and from occasional trips to the bar watched Wisconsin lose (sorry AvoidingRealWork) and Kansas win. (Yay!) Then we moved everything upstairs to let the real partying begin.
We'd prepared lots of food, including a lovely boobie cake and pleaz_me made a terrific cake penis from cupcakes. It even had white icing spurting out the end. Unfortunately, he came too quickly and became rather limp. He fell over, pointing near the boobies. I suppose that's to be expected.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b318/sweetsubsarahh/Chicago2008043-1.jpg
It was a new experience to have so much nudity at this event. Real naturists (that's correct, yes, not naturalists?) graced us with their unembarrassed naked presence all evening. What that meant was that slyc wasn't the only one naked at a Lit-together. There were massages happening here and there, some lessons on rope tying, some suggestions for spanking, some people even discussed writing.
Parties went late and many people even hooked up with new and old partners. Busy night for some, so I heard.
Also a change for next year - we're planning on renting two extra sleep rooms, just for the party. It was too hard on Wenchi and Pleaz_me to have their rooms taken over by everyone (some of whom got a little busy). We need separate places for festivities and people need to go back to their own rooms to, um, play.
SATURDAY
Next morning? There were lots of hungover type people. Breakfasting in small groups, some sleeping in, some waking up (sorry I called your room so early, pleaz_me!)
Some went out shopping downtown, some wandered around the area. Some checked their email on the lobby computers, including me, and others tried to get a nap (nope - I never did).
BUT I did finally manage to find tacos. Rob and I went out for lunch. And he came with me in my elusive search for wax for my braces. Three stores later, we found it. I also fed seagulls leftover food - ahem - I'm such a pushover.
Later in the afternoon we had two new delightful attendees - sophia_jane and logophile. I'm still smiling from meeting these two lovelies (and thank you for the chocolate - wow! You're right - now I am spoiled!) A group of us, including these two went to dinner and had a terrific time. They had to leave too early that night, dang it, but maybe can stay longer next year?
The party rooms began to pick once liquor started to flow. And we had another attendee join us from last year - kiltsr4guys. Yes, he was in kilt attire, and yes, he was beautifully bare beneath. (I didn't peek - he shared.) Good to see him again.
More discussions about ropes and spankings - some demonstrations. And some more demonstrations. And even more demonstrations. Wow. And - DAYUM. It being the last night folks really partied, in many different ways. We got to sleep very late.
The next morning? Blech. Ugh. All that liquor began to catch up with me, anyway.
Packing after an event like this sucks. Tossing everything into suitcases, trying not to leave anything behind, trying to spend those last few moments together . . .
A big group went to breakfast but I had to leave. Got on the road by 11:30 so I could try to get home at a decent hour.
Which didn't happen, by the way. I think God really does hate Lit-togethers, because I lost my left headlight during a serious thunderstorm. I drove at night in the rain for nearly four hours. Took me even longer to get home than it did to get to Chicago. At least the Kansas basketball game was on during that time. They won, even though it was an ugly game, and they're on their way to the Final Four this weekend.
Today I'm tired and grumpy. Tired because of lack of sleep and travel stuff. Grumpy because I'd rather be back in Chicago partying with friends. (And, as I've since discovered, grumpy because I was fighting illness. Some solid antibiotics and I'm coming back.)
I'm already looking forward to the next time. It is worth every bit of effort, organizational work, all the time and expense of planning and preparation.
I can list what happened in Chicago but it's very difficult to describe the camaraderie in such an event. The smiles and the laughing - oh, how fun. Being together with like-minded folks, being able to say whatever you want and have people understand. Discussing porn topics without fear of reprisal - asking about sexual techniques - sharing partner stories and ideas - just talking and laughing and flirting and hugging and being together is just such an amazing thing.
I am so hooked on Lit-togethers. It's just such a wonderful feeling to be with friends in this way.
Just as last year, we tried to keep track of some of the funny moments of the event. Even named them this time out. Lit-wits.
Here's a list. Add your own as you remember. And if there is no one credited to a specific quote it's because it wasn't notated on the post-it note or I can't remember. Please let me know who said what?

So here's her report on the goings on at Chicago 2008

Some went out shopping downtown, some wandered around the area. Some checked their email on the lobby computers, including me, and others tried to get a nap (nope - I never did).
BUT I did finally manage to find tacos. Rob and I went out for lunch. And he came with me in my elusive search for wax for my braces. Three stores later, we found it. I also fed seagulls leftover food - ahem - I'm such a pushover.
Later in the afternoon we had two new delightful attendees - sophia_jane and logophile. I'm still smiling from meeting these two lovelies (and thank you for the chocolate - wow! You're right - now I am spoiled!) A group of us, including these two went to dinner and had a terrific time. They had to leave too early that night, dang it, but maybe can stay longer next year?
The party rooms began to pick once liquor started to flow. And we had another attendee join us from last year - kiltsr4guys. Yes, he was in kilt attire, and yes, he was beautifully bare beneath. (I didn't peek - he shared.) Good to see him again.
More discussions about ropes and spankings - some demonstrations. And some more demonstrations. And even more demonstrations. Wow. And - DAYUM. It being the last night folks really partied, in many different ways. We got to sleep very late.
The next morning? Blech. Ugh. All that liquor began to catch up with me, anyway.
Packing after an event like this sucks. Tossing everything into suitcases, trying not to leave anything behind, trying to spend those last few moments together . . .
A big group went to breakfast but I had to leave. Got on the road by 11:30 so I could try to get home at a decent hour.
Which didn't happen, by the way. I think God really does hate Lit-togethers, because I lost my left headlight during a serious thunderstorm. I drove at night in the rain for nearly four hours. Took me even longer to get home than it did to get to Chicago. At least the Kansas basketball game was on during that time. They won, even though it was an ugly game, and they're on their way to the Final Four this weekend.
Today I'm tired and grumpy. Tired because of lack of sleep and travel stuff. Grumpy because I'd rather be back in Chicago partying with friends. (And, as I've since discovered, grumpy because I was fighting illness. Some solid antibiotics and I'm coming back.)
I'm already looking forward to the next time. It is worth every bit of effort, organizational work, all the time and expense of planning and preparation.
I can list what happened in Chicago but it's very difficult to describe the camaraderie in such an event. The smiles and the laughing - oh, how fun. Being together with like-minded folks, being able to say whatever you want and have people understand. Discussing porn topics without fear of reprisal - asking about sexual techniques - sharing partner stories and ideas - just talking and laughing and flirting and hugging and being together is just such an amazing thing.
I am so hooked on Lit-togethers. It's just such a wonderful feeling to be with friends in this way.
Just as last year, we tried to keep track of some of the funny moments of the event. Even named them this time out. Lit-wits.
Here's a list. Add your own as you remember. And if there is no one credited to a specific quote it's because it wasn't notated on the post-it note or I can't remember. Please let me know who said what?
