Our group of six was at TTR this past Feb 14-21, the week of the infamous and epic Shit Show. For those of you who were there and part of it: Thank you! We loved it! And we've finally sobered up enough to start thinking about next year. We would love to return in 2016 the same week as the Shit Show group, so the question is: Will it be the same(ish) week? The week of Saturday 2/13 through Saturday 2/20/2016 once again includes Presidents Day weekend (and Valentine's Day!), plus it's only one day off from the 2015 dates, so we assume that that's The Week. But we want to be sure before we book. Anyone know?
That's definitely the week. We've been there three years running but will be missing it next year. Kids schedules don't line up, and to be perfectly candid, it was just too cold for us this last time around. We will miss all out shitshow friends, for sure!
Damn kids! Sucks to hear you won't be joining us. We'll just have to party extra hard on your behalf!
It's about time someone started posting about the 2016 Shitshow. Where the heck is Mayor Brent?? We are already booked and waiting for others to get onboard. J_N_J February 12th-20th, 2016
Booked 2/13-2/20 a couple months ago because we had such a good time this past Feb. Shitshow week. This will be our 4th trip to TTR and 2nd time in Feb. Looking forward to seeing everyone again or for the first time,
Hey there! We are first timers to TTR, planning on mid February. Question...what is "Shit Show"? Thanks!
The name initially threw us too. Fortunately, it's used in the sense of spectacle and has nothing to do with fecal matter. It's a group of creative, hilarious, sexy people that reunite at Temptation mid-February-ish every year. Our group of six was lucky enough to be there while the Shit Show peeps were there in Feb 2015, and we had so much fun that we're definitely returning in Feb 2016. To give you an idea of the kinds of people and things to expect, here's brent&kells' planning thread for the 2015 trip: http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/temptation-resort-cancun/30221-february-shitshow-feb-14-20-2015-a.html And here's a great trip report from CaptMorgan: http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/temptation-resort-cancun/32205-atm-photo-trip-report-shitshow-2015-a.html So - lucky you that you'll be there for it in 2016! The week will be awesome. As in literally inspiring awe. ~Maxx P.S. For the language geeks: Here's a Slate article about the term "shit show" that was coincidentally(?) posted just as we were gearing up to go: Origins and use of the phrase shit show, from James Ellroy to the Red Army.
