Halloween in Key West (aka FANTASY FEST®)
"Aquatic Frolic"
with FRISKYPEOPLE and our SDC friends!
Friday, October 21st thru Monday, October 31st
Hello Frisky People!
We would like to extend this invitation to any of you who would like to join us at Fantasy Fest® 2011 in Key West, FL.
For those not familiar, Fantasy Fest® is a week-long, adult-oriented, sexually-thematic Halloween street festival and costume party for frisky people! It takes place every year at the end of October in Key West. The theme for this year’s festival is "Aquatic Frolic".
FRISKYPEOPLE and our SDC friends are looking for cool couples and sexy singles interested in meeting up on our annual visit. For this year’s excursion, we arrive on Friday, October 21st and leave on Monday, October 31st. You are welcome to join us and our SDC crewe for any or all of the festival.
Please contact us with questions, or if we can be of any assistance to you with lodging accommodations, travel, logistics, suggestions, etc.
Suzanne & Matt
FRISKYPEOPLE ...since 1999!

LODGING
As of the time this event listing was revised on Friday, September 23rd, Lodging in the initial 7 Bedroom & 5 Bathroom private house we rented is SOLD OUT. (For photos of that house, in order to give you an approximate feel for what we rent, please go to http://www.FriskyPeople.com/?page_id=97)
We still have A LOT of other couples and singles that are generally interested in Lodging, but "sitting on the fence", so to speak. This happens every year at around this time. It's a bit frustrating, but we always do our best. No one who is a) genuinely interested in attending the festival, and b) willing to pay their money into Lodging will be left hanging, though.
One way or another, we have ALWAYS found Lodging for those that want it / need it... for 8 to 10 years running now... provided we can get on the same regarding swift payment, budget, location, amenities, etc. That said, right now we have our eyes on a bunch of other rental properties.
If you are interested in being with our group as far as Lodging goes, we respectfully ask that you let us know that you are "in" (so to speak). We will then send you a PayPal link to pay into Lodging. Once we all the money in for the next house on our list, we will get that house under rental contract.
We can not and will not pull your money or anyone else's money from PayPal over to our business account until and unless ALL the money is in. This way, we can a) have the money ready to go when the house needs to be paid for, or b) to turn around and have PayPal issue you a refund if the house does not come together. Regardless, we won't leave you hanging. We know how to get everyone a place to stay.
Think it over and let us know!
Details on a typical FriskyPeople Fantasy Fest rental property are:
1) for 7 or 6 or as few as 5 nights (i.e. either Tuesday/Sunday or Wednesday/Monday)
2) may or may not have a private pool - depends what's available when the group necessary to rent it is paid in full
3) in a good location within walking distance to "the action"
4) cost per night will be approximately - $275 to 350 per couple - $140 to $300 per single - depends on bedroom/bathroom you take and w/ or w/o pool
5) whether you use all the nights booked or not is up to you, you will still need to pay for the full rental period
6) payable in full immediately via PayPal or credit card (on PayPal)

OFFICIAL DAY-TIME HANGOUT
FRISKYPEOPLE is pleased to announce that Southernmost Beach Cafe at 1405 Duval Street will be our "Official Day-Time Hangout" for Fantasy Fest 2011! Any day throughout the entire festival (weather permitting), please come and hang out with us and meet other members of the group at Southernmost Beach Cafe. This ultra beautiful beach front setting comes complete with a full service bar and restaurant, plus rentals of beach chairs, umbrellas and other items to make your festival a day at the beach. When you arrive, just ask Ron (the Beach Manager) where the FRISKYPEOPLE posse is hanging out for the day, and come join us. REMINDER: It's NOT Atlantic Shores Pool, so please don't behave as though it is!
*****
OFFICIAL NIGHT-TIME HANGOUT
For the past 10+ years, FRISKYPEOPLE and friends have found that one of the best places to hang out and meet up with people in the evenings is out on the street in front of Cowboy Bill’s #2 and Captain Tony’s. That said, the “un-official” meet-up spot and watering hole while you are out in costumes is Cowboy Bill’s Location #2 at 430 Greene Street next to Captain Tony’s!
