DFF III is in The Air…

The DFF III Draft:

Today at the office I held the official DFF III fishing team draft (pull names out of a cup) to split up our boats. Although everyone in my office is now convinced that I’m insane; we have Teams.

Offical DFF III Draft Cup



The Draft Board



The Results:

Team 1:
West (1st Round Pick!)
Brian
Chad
Jay
Derek
Dewey

Team 2
Chris
Jeremy
Jeff
Eric
Stephen
Doug

unfortunately for West, 1st round draft picks of the DFF do not receive signing bonuses




HOTEL INFO:

I don’t recall posting any info on the hotel; the research that Dewey & I did seemed to indicate that this was one of the best places to stay for location. We shouldn’t have to worry about taxies, except for getting to/from the airport and when we go to the dock for our fishing trip. Here is the web-site description:

The Crowne Plaza Hotel La Concha Key West, is a unique and historic hotel located directly on Duval Street within walking distance of all major attractions, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife.

Built in 1926, home to luminaries like Hemingway, Truman, Tennessee Williams (when he wrote a Streetcar Named Desire,) La Concha Hotel offers the most spectacular 360 degree view, with nightly Sunset Celebration and all of Key West from the 7th Floor deck and lounge at the top of the hotel.

Beware The Ides of March…

For in the year 2007 it will begin DFF-III…

Ides of March, 44 BC





Ides of March, 2007 AD



Not unlike the assassination of Julius Caesar, The Ides of March 2007, AD will bring about the assassination of multiple alcoholic beverages and various sea living creatures from the deep (with some luck). Hope all y’all are ready…

Only 14-days…














Jeff Patterson is a confirmed participant this year. He will be flying to Miami and making the drive to Key West on Thursday. Jeff – If you beat us there, you best be drunk when we arrive because I’ve got a feeling we will all be hammered from the plane ride.

I continue to hear rumors that Reiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaachhhhhh will be flying down on Friday or Sat. to hang out. Speaking of Saturday, that will be the 17th which is St. Paddy’s day and Chris reports some kind of major Pub Crawl on Duval St. will be happening that day.

All for now ladies…go buy something from the store.

2-weeks…
