Well, my name is Jack and I
am here to tell you about my adventures at the GHFCW. As it says in
"A Tale of Two Cities," "It was the best of times; it was the worst of
times." I experienced such a rolly coaster of emotions from the time
I first heard of this event until I got home. Here, let me show you.

For me personally, it all
began with a phone call when Mz. Debbie Morris, the coordinator and
zookeeper of the event called me up and asked me to be her special guest
at the event. I was overwhelmed, to stay the least. I am the
#1 GH fan ever as anyone, including Mz. Morris, knows, but I was unaware
that such a beast as this General Hospital party existed.

My heart was up in my
throat and I could barely speak. Quickly, I headed out without even
pausing to pack.

When I arrived at the
Sportsmonkeys Lodge, I did my best to get checked in, but I kept getting
distracted by different interesting, shiny things, like this ride they had
installed onto the wall for me. It was most entertaining. That
part was really fun.
When I did go to check
in, the suite I requested wasn't ready, so I had to wait and wait and
decided to do a photo shoot.

I desperately wanted a
photo of myself with my butt on the lion's head fountain and after asking
many, many people, I finally found one who would take my picture.
People can be very harsh and cruel when they are addressed by a monkey
with a glamorous side. I tell myself they are jealous and I believe
it is so.

Can you see me? I look like one of
the flowers, don't I?

See? Psst. I'm here!!

I spent easily 8-9 minutes
believing this dog was speaking to me, when in actuality, he was talking
to someone on his phone earpiece. Boy, did I feel stupid.
Hahaha.

The decal on this car
reminded me of the days I spent in the Playboy Mansion with Hef and the
bunnies. I like bunnies.

The bushy cow in the
driveway made my booty itch.

After being overserved at
the pool bar, I took a break on this rock next to the waterfall. I
woke up there the next morning, having missed all of Friday's festivities.

I am sending this shot into
the producers of the show "Survivorman" to vie for the lead part.

I thought they might enjoy
another shot of the same pose. I love how the green grasses make my
eyes "pop."

My favorite moments of the
weekend were spent lounging by the pool. It's a good thing since the
hotel never did get my reservation right. As it turned out, I never
really even needed a room.

I got so involved with the
photo shoot that I completely forgot that the main luncheon was underway,
so I hurried in to pay my regards to Mz Morris and have a moment with
Steve Burton, who is a major monkey fan. That little girl has her
thumb on my butt, or maybe it was Steve. Someone did anyway.

After the whole "thumb on
the butt" thing, I felt a little skeevey like I needed some air and that is when things
took ugly and took a very dark turn. It was like I turned a corner
into nightmare world. First, this frickin chicken with the weird leg tried to eat
me. I was so traumatized that I spent the rest of the night in the
Waterfall Room re-gathering my chi and trying not to cry.

I woke up here with the
sound of a train coming and no memory of how I got here. I think it
was that chicken that put me here.

I tried to escape before
the train came, but I was a little disoriented and ended up further down
the track and nowhere near safety. I think that chicken put a roofie
in my drink. Never trust a chicken.

Then a fish tried to eat me as well. All in
all, not a good day.
I believe the fish knew the chicken.

This is a giant parrot in the lobby.
I used it to try
some aversion therapy to overcome my new fear
of chickens. It did not work. Even Colonel Sanders
scares me now. Big Bird too. And brass, apparently.
*shudder*
Fish are even worse. I can't watch "Finding Nemo."

That being the case, I decided to have my
driver take me back
home again. This hotel is just too dangerous for me and I longed
to get back to the safety of my man cave.
So that is my review of the GH Fan Club
Weekend.
My advice: Don't stay
at the Sportsmonkeys Lodge.
Things will try to eat you
and they will not get
your reservation right.
That is all.
Good-bye.
