Time to Circle the Wagons in Frisco (updated 4/21)

Thanks for a great weekend. There were some issues to deal with early on and thanks to everyone for their patience in allowing Bill and I to deal with it as best as we could. It didn't go totally according to plan, but it was still a good day overall.

Again Thanks for a wonderful weekend.

We will be parking RV's and trailers in the Green lot east of the Pavilions on Technology Dr.

I am working on a drop off point for chairs and coolers before you park. I may need volunteers to help unload cars quickly so we don't tie up traffic.
Please direct your parking questions to me via Email or PM. Please do not call PHP. At this time it is a fluid situation, I will have more specfic information down the road.

If your planning to bring you RV, bus, travel trailer, camper, just want to be able to sleep in your car in the midst of your phriends, or bringing a trailer full of stuff for the tailgate, I'll need the following info:

Type of vehicle
Size (length, # of pullouts and such)
Tow vehicle if pulling a trailer. Or if your pulling a car to runaround with
Email Address
If you parked in a specfic spot last year and would like to be in roughly the same place, please let me know.

Please pm or email me (both are below). Please put Frisco RV in the subject line. Also please do include an email address in your PM for I will be sending global information out from time to time. Also include your BN name in emails.

Here is a rental source for RV's near Frisco:

If you need a rental, call El Monte RV in McKinney, (972) 562-1900 and ask about the parrothead packages. You can go to elmonterv.com to see the models, but call them locally to reserve. Mr Play has talked to them and they have rented about 30 of their units so the inventory is getting thin. If you want to reserve one call soon. (as of 2/4).

Here are some other rental links:\

you're not trying hard enough.

You mean you can't get 2 weeks off in late April. Garry and Larry may need some on help the Geritol tour. And I can't think of a better man for the job!

It's not the time off..... it's the $$.

Ok here's the plan.......

We get someone to box you (and maybe Jack, you may need a companion)send to you to Bill's house or the Pharm. You can sleep in the camper or my truck in Frisco, mooch off of Larry and Garry on the way to Charlotte. They box you up in Raleigh and send you home.

Work for you?

Attitude adjustment - well, I'm working on it .... It's been a tough five months at the Mojito Manse ... nothing like what some of our BN phamily is going through, but tough for us, my sweet mother-in-law and Maggie the dog.

I'll be in Friday afternoon and will leave Sunday ... I'll have the Trailblazer ... can pick up/deliver from either airport.

remember that kid that you freaked out at pappadeaux a few years ago - he'll be there

good idea Jim!!

About 10 Ole Miss fans coming in from Madison/Ridgeland/Jackson. Will you share the password with us as well?

Many thanks.

All right you Parrotheads...look the hell out, because I'm going to Frisco this year come hell or high water!
I will hunt you down!! I'll be a bringin' my guitar too!

No offense, but the only way anyone's mooching off me is if she's a hot young babe.

Aren't you supposed to be in school?

No, because of a teacher conference thing we have off until Thursday Woot, two day school week.

In that case, get to work! Your mom needs that password!

I was working on that already hours ago I just went to go play airsoft with some buds of mine. I'm back scratched up and tired but back to work on the pass. Ima good Keet =)

We've got it...and you are a good Keet!

I am looking forward to this show. I just realized there is a presale, and 6 of us will be heading down from Kansas City for the event. I am relying on the kindness of fellow Parrotheads to kindly pass along the presale password.

While I am new, I don't want anyone thinking I am a scalper, so here is my attempt to establish my bona fides. Have seen Jimmy live 5 times (KC 95, 97, St. Louis 2000, Chicago 2003, Vegas 2005, and Frisco 2008). While this is not great compared to most of you, we have to travel each year.

So, if anyone could pm me the presale password, that would put my ease to mind about getting to see Jimmy this year.
