GARCH: This is the Gateway Arch, may I help you?
ME: Yes, this is Missy with the AllDeaf Caucus, I want to make sure you will be able to accomodate some people and a vampire on Saturday.
GARCH: Yes, ma'am, we can - what is the AllDeaf Caucus?
ME: It's a gathering of AllDeaf members - AllDeaf is an internet forum for deaf and hard of hearing people, with several hearing members sprinkled here and there. You can find us at
www.alldeaf.com.
GARCH: That's nice to hear, now for the vampire...will he be flying up to the top, or will he ride with you?
ME: Oh, Im sure he will ride with us, do you have hooks in the tram cars so he can hang from it?
GARCH: Not really, but he could just sit in the tram with you all - can't he?
ME: I think so, Ill ask him.
GARCH: How many people, do you know?
ME: Not sure yet, but over 10 for sure.
GARCH: Will you want a group photo?
ME: Yes, I'd like one - will the vampire be able to show up on the photo?
GARCH: I'm not sure, but we can provide some talcum powder to sprinkle on him, so we should be able to get a pretty good representation.
ME: Also, we will have an ^Angel^, RoadRunner and a TweetyBird with us... they will ride with us, but they will need some room to move around...TweetyBird can ride on someone's shoulder, but ^Angel^ will need room for her wings and RoadRunner will need a hole to stick his head out the tram car.
GARCH: Sure, anything else?
ME: Yes, there will be a GalaxyAngel with us, will there be room for a galaxy in the tram car?
GARCH: Well, with a bit of shoving, we should be able to.
ME: Also, will the tram car have belts for a DreamDeaf? Dreams are a bit wispy, so we will need to hold her down.
GARCH: Sorry, we dont have belts, but we will be sure to put her in a reinforced tram car, so she won't float away.
ME: That's great!
GARCH: Anything else?
ME: No, I dont think so...I will call back if I have more questions.
GARCH: Ok, ma'am, you do that. Have a great day and we will be looking forward to having you all here.
ME: You too! Thanks bye...
