I talked to constaff at FF over the last week. They gave me the OK to have a Pool Party, either Saturday or Sunday, within the window of 11am and 5pm. (They're showing movies at night and we don't want to be pool hogs)

My vision is thus: We meet up in the lobby, suit around for an hour or three like we usually do. Then, instead of everyone dispersing like we usually do to go get cooled off and find some grub, we all de-suit and meet up at the pool. We go swimming to cool off, and have ordered a few pizzas before we go suiting so there is food waiting when we get done.

The pool party will be open to anyone and everyone. Sheps both suiter and non, friends of the sheps and anyone that just wants to hang out in the pool. Pizza chip-in will be $5 cash so have it ready ahead of time. You could also bring your own food if you like, just no glass containers in the pool area please. Suits will be welcome in the pool area but not in the pool (duh) and the hotel has requested no pool toys in the pool area. All pool area rules should also be adhered to during the party. I'd like to be able to do this again in subsequent years without Belic getting all twitchy at the mention of a pool party.

What I need form you: Interest. Let me see a show of hands how many people want to attend. This is open to EVERYONE mind you, so if you're not a shepherd, you can still reply here to let me know you're interested! I'd like to get a consensus when the best day and time is to have the party so I can let the con staff know and MAYBE get this on the actual schedule. Gasp.
