Yes. Don't use a foreign socket; just use a US one that is common in industry but not household use like L5-20R twistlock. Readily available at Home Depot but cheaper on EBay.
You can even get the extension/adapter cord available for cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Cable-Generator-Adapter-L5-20P/dp/B00004SQGJ
Look for L5-20R for outlet (R=receptacle) and L5-20P for cord (P=plug)
I made one (for $17) from this:

If you get this and this, you'll make a lot more friends. Perhaps a power cable extension too.
This was one of the only ones I could find - http://www.amazon.com/Conntek-Locking-Adapter-Straight-Connector/dp/B001KQEK7M/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1374000975&sr=8-12&keywords=5-15+l5-20p
Kind of expensive, and do I have to worry about it being outdoors or near a pool?
Edit, this seems to be a much better deal - http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Cable-9-Inch-Generator-Adapter/dp/B00004SQGJ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374007638&sr=8-3&keywords=l5-20p
Comments are people doing the same thing, so I guess this is the way to go.
Yea, we'll definitely have to be careful when making it. But I forgot to mention, I did see an adapter that seemed correct for what I want to do but I'm not sure.
