First AA International Conference

From Plastic Tub

Basically, the AA needed a break from their various residences in the snowy north. It was originally Alexandre Dacusse's idea. "Lets go to Florida," he wrote Stimso Adid in 1955. Two years later, they did. Dacusse and Adid were joined by Stimes Addisson, Mazzistow Carrington, Verna Cable, Wilhemina Forkes, Cappy Trowbridge and met by correspondents from Canada, Mexico and various European cities. They reserved the entire Happy Flamingo Motor Lodge in Fort Lauderdale and repaired there for a week of debate and debauchery that is still legend among the old-timers, denizens of the beach, sunning themselves into a leathery texture today.

It was at this conference that Wee-Wee was originally conceived of, after a few run-ins with the law.

Desiderata

The stories Jonathan Trenchwheat recounted about his friends in Florida inspired and found their way into the Porky's films. Trenchwheat was an extra in the 1982 movie, playing a redneck in the movie's namesake strip club.
