Florida Moonshine Weekend
 

Let me be the first to congratulate Ian, Tony and all of the folks with Florida Moonshine for a great event this past weekend.

Amber, Roxy and I all had a great time and were glad to be invited.

I gotta tell you, the 3 of us agreed that the beach at St. Pete may be the best we've been to...ever. It's very clean. Plus the water was great and the sand felt like it was melting under your feet.

It was especially good to see some of the MSF members there like RG and Sarah, Nightoww, our favorite blonde Florida brat (and my buddy) Aurora, Jaxspanker, MichiganHeadmaster, swfloridabrat, Brian from Cincy, Todd & Suzy and on and on and on. I know I'm leaving someone out. So if I've forgotten you, just give Amber an extra swat next time you see her! LOL.

It was also cool to hang out briefly with "the competition," Bailey and Richard Windsor. We're big fans of theirs.

Moonshiners...CHEERS! A job well done!


Gary

Gary, it was awesome meeting you, Ian, Alona, Tony, and your gorgeous models! The demonstration was both entertaining and highly informative. It also made me miss Texas, lol! A land of friendly people and lovely ladies (not to take anything away from my new Florida friends, mind you!).

it was also great meeting Bailey and getting an autographed book from Niki!

I wish I didn't have to leave early, but my traveling companion needed to return to Michigan a bit early due to illness. I hope to have another opportunity to meet those I didn't get a chance to see this time. Maybe some of you all can make it to Crimson Moon!

This was truly a great party. I hope we get to do this again next year.

Kuddo's to Ian & Toni(even thought they did spank me and I was being good-honest.) and the many others that worked so hard to throw such a great party ! Gary is right-the beach was awesome !!! I forgot to take my shovel to build a sancastle and smack Gary with but still had tons of fun. Echoing Gary again-It was a treat as usual to meet up with like minded friends both old and new.

It was great meeting the texas gang ! Tony and the FMS board really did an outstanding job organizing the events and selecting a wonderful resort . But whats makes for a great party is the people and we appreciate all one s who travel great distances to makes this the best party I have attend .

Thanks
JAxspanker

Shame on Amber-we GAVE you a shovel at registration with your bucket....surely you could have used that...after all, Gary "seemed" like a nice man when he introduced himself to me at the banquet. Jax is correct-it was the caliber of participants that made this a quality party! Old friends and new mingled happily...I thank you all for attending-you added to the merriment!

I would like to personally thank Gary, Amber, Roxy,Brian,WP and the rest of the Dallas TX mafia for coming and being a part of The Tropical Beach Party 2008
The Amatuer Spankings presentation on Saturday afternoon was outstanding.
AS is a great asset and great people to make any party that more special.
Thank you all and I look forward to seeing you soon.
PS I wont tell about Ambers coctail drinking on Sat afternoon, Oooops now I have gone and told :(
Have a great week see you in chat on Wednesday ~Ian www.TheLondonTanners.com
Improving behavior one girl at a time !

I would also like to offer my congratulations to the Florida Moonshine team!! Not only was the party an awesome event (Aside from having to lug all of my vendors stuff down 5 flights because the power went out :-)) but the people who organize it are simply wonderful people. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.

You can count on all of us being there again next year, I am pretty sure of that!!

Great job guys, I had a total blast...... and I finally got to give Amber that LONG overdue spanking :D Tonight I will be posting a detailed update on the weekend events on my website, so feel free to stop by later.

Richard Windsor.

I was sooooooooo great to see so many of my texas and SSC friends there. Iggy even managed to come up to the hospitality suite and smiled alittle. LOL. Can't believe it's been a year since the SSC party.... I think she even bought some toys from Ian.....I'm sooo sorry I missed a chance to have another prison strap session with RG though....

Gary, thank you thank you thank you for such a great presentation. You are the bomb and I don't care what the other bottoms say about your noodle arm....It was wonderful to meet amber too..... Richard, thanks for dragging your stuff to the vendor fair...it was great to see you and the gang and the videos....

Hope to see you all again soon......
Huggs,
Kay

Congrats on a very successful party, gang. Glad the attendees had a good time.

Ian, you *know* what happens to people who tattle, don't you??? Tsk, Tsk!

RG and I spent two nights in Savannah, Georgia after we left the FMS party so I am kinda late getting to the follow-up threads.

Ian, alona, and Tony....thank you so much for such a lovely party. RG and I had so much fun. The location was absolutely perfect, the activities and meals wonderful, and the interaction a blast!

Kudos to you guys! It's hard work to organize something for that many people and you guys did a wonderful job!

It was great seeing old friends, casual online acquaintances and also meeting new faces. It's wonderful as well to have someone come up to you who you've never met or heard of, to say, "I read your blog ALL the time." or "I bought one of your stories!" A gathering such as this is a fun and great way to bring people in our community together.

It was nice seeing so many of you again. Thanks again to the organizers of this event.

Thanks to all
 

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You !!! For making The Tropical Beach
Party 2008 such a great success. As I said on Saturday night, if I
had hand picked each and every one of you I could not have picked a
better group of people. Each one of you brought laughter, joy, a
sense of caring and community with you to the beach this past weekend.
Thank you for taking care as to not leave literature laying around
and for being polite and courteous to the hotel staff, who loved us
by the way.
There are some very special people I have to thank. First of all the
board of Florida Moonshine and our core members who volunteered to
help, we could not do this without you.

Alona who does a wonderful job of handling the membership,
interviewing and screening people as well as keeping the yahoo group
active and fun. She was also in charge of registration which ran as
smooth as silk..

Diane who was responsible for the suites being stocked with snacks
and drinks as well as the decorating. even coffee and donuts to go
along with her constant back talk and tireless energy.

Gary who did a really magnificent job on security. We never emerged
from the elevator or our room that there was not a security person in
front of the elevators, from early morning to 2 a.m. each day when
the suites closed. also, he coordinated the printing for the great
programs.

Patricia who handles the finances for FMS (got to pay to play) much
of who's work came before the party started and now after it is
over. Also she organized the great Governess' Gathering. A lot of
male subs left the party very happy because of your work!

Sissy and Richard, for prvoviding the dance cards and Kay for
building and maintaining The Tropical Beach Party 2008 My Space.
Thanks for being tireless members of our moonshine family.

I have to thank my friends Cody and Nisha who traveled all the way
from Denver to host the great 2008 Spanking Trivia contest. I think
he should have replaced Bob Barker he was that good

Cameron. I know it was hard for Cameron to swing the dates and I was
really happy he could do that. Not only does he make a great
Headmaster but makes a lot of women very very happy, if a little sore.

Niki Flynn isn't she gorgeous? I was honoured to have her agree to do
the first US book signing at our party and her presence always adds a
smile to my, and many others faces

Strict Dave. Meticulous as always Thanks for a great CP Court and
bringing not only your spanking block and your tireless energy, but
also your very fine skills as a top. I know you left many a lady
smiling.

Bailey. What can you say? She is just a poppet and a really nice
outgoing warm person, Thank you for being so very sweet and adding a
special touch our party.

Gary Amateur Spankings and his models Amber, Roxy and our own Aurora
for a great behind the scenes of spanking video productions. I think
everyone found it really informative and a lot of fun. When I asked
Gary on Friday if Tony and I could meet with him, his answer
was "what ever you want you've got it." What a great friend and asset
to our party.

I have to send out big thanks for all those wonderful door prizes,
and for those who gave their support:
Tony, Eve and Butch at Shadow Lane.
All of the people at Firm Hand.
David, Pixie and Richard Windsor at Punished Brats.
Lauri at Rosy Bottoms
Lee at PaddleMasters
Nisha at Treats and Consequences
Kitty at Exotic Wooden Paddles
The entire staff of the Sandpiper Trade Winds Resort.

On a personal note thanks to all the gracious ladies I played with.
You know you all deserved it and next time I see you will probably
deserve more !!!
To My Ladies, my special Kay and Maggie who really helped keep me
together laying out clothes and fetching stuff from the room I had
forgotten. I don't know what I would have done without you. To My
Girls Michelle ( Baby Girl) and Aurora (Bunny)for keeping me
constantly on my toes and just being the delight they both are.

And Last but by no means least my partner in crime Headmaster Tony
who is one of the most honorable men you will ever meet.

Once again thank you all so much for making The Tropical Beach Party
2008 a reality.

You guys ROCK !!!!

~Ian. the very humbled VP of Florida Moonshine

I managed a smile? I'm shocked. I was scared stiff the whole time!

Was great seeing you again, Kay and seeing everyone else too.

I'm thinking it's probably going to take about 100 of these events before I loosen up a tiny bit. I so suck at this!
