Finalized Schedule for TickleFest 2006

Thursday, October 12th




4:00 PM - Welcome to Texas! Check in, unwind, get a bite to eat. Historically, TickleFests have been scheduled to run from Friday through Sunday. But over the years, many men expressed an interest in arriving a day earlier to enjoy some extra play time. Come early, and become part of the tradition!




4:30 PM - To help you connect with other men, Jay Grafmiller will open The Grafmiller Suite, where you can hang out, get your feet photographed, and perhaps watch a live tickle video shoot (volunteers please e-mail Jay right now at jayspix@jayspix.com). It will be on the 21st floor, right next to the Hospitality Suite. The "GRAFMILLER SUITE" sign will be posted on the door.




6:00 PM - Dutch treat dinner for early arrivals, location TBA.




7:00 PM - Cut a few heifers out of the early bird herd! Enjoy some non-structured tickling time with a friend, or relax and socialize in the Hotel's penthouse Hospitality Suite. Soft drinks and snacks will be provided.




8:30 PM - Fun and Games in the Hospitality Suite. Compete for foot site memberships, tickling videos, and more!




1:00 AM - The Hospitality Suite closes for the evening. Carry on in private, if you've got the stamina!

Friday, October 13th




8:00 AM - You're on your own until afternoon, pardn'rs, as we wait for the rest of the gang to show up. Rustle yourself up a ticklish steer from the other early arrivals, or hop in a cab and see the sights of Dallas. Visit the JFK Assassination Memorial and the lively West End. Go shopping at the North Dallas Galleria. Explore Downtown, the Arts District, and historical Deep Ellum. For those of the homoerotic persuasion, check out legendary Oak Lawn.




4:00 PM - Check-in for late arrivals.




4:30 PM - The Grafmiller Suite will open.




6:00 PM - The Hospitality Suite will open. Soft drinks and snacks will be provided.




7:00 PM - Pizza party for all attendees. Bring your appetites! Greet the late arrivals.




8:30 PM - A tickling-related event (to be announced), sponsored by MTMTN.




1:00 AM - The Hospitality Suite closes for the evening. Get some sleep... tomorrow's a big day!

Saturday, October 14th




9:00 AM - Eat a hearty, Texas-style breakfast with the whole gang in one of the Hotel's banquet rooms.




10:30 AM - Take a relaxing trip on a luxury motorcoach to a real working ranch in rural north Texas. Watch tickling videos during your ride on one the many video monitors. Stretch back in your reclining seat, kick off your boots, and...?




12:00 PM - The world's second ever "Tickle Rodeo". Tickle that steer until he says "mooooo!" in the "Ticklish Steer Roping" event. Prizes donated by My Friends' Feet, Grafmiller Associates, MTMTN, and author Wayne Courtois awarded to the fastest cowpokes.




1:45 PM - Take a break during the Tickle Rodeo to enjoy some real Texas barbecue.

4:00 PM - Hop back on the luxury motorcoach, kick back, enjoy videos, and have some tickling fun. But, please don't tickle the driver!




5:30 PM - Arrive back at the Hotel. Dinner on your own.




7:00 PM - The Hospitality Suite will officially re-open, with soft drinks and snacks. Hook up for the evening to go out on the town and/or have some private fun.

Sunday, October 15th




9:00 AM - An impromptu breakfast gathering at the Hotel restaurant, if there's enough interest. We say our goodbyes to those who must leave. Those who remain can get together informally, or meet with your host (me!) for some one-on-one ticklin'. Bring yer stetson and yer boots.
