I have updated page 1 with the latest details. Click on my sig line to link to page 1.

Reader's Digest Version - meeting at 12:30 on Rock Quarry Road to caravan in to the same spot as we had last year. We will have ez ups, tunes, blenders, tables, chairs and even a private porta-a-loo (with a seat for the ladies) . We will also have grill space for people to cook up their own cheeseburgers and people are bringing sides to share.

Second version of the phone list was pmed tonight. If you think you should have received it but didn't, please PM. I will send a best and final phone list probably Monday night.

Based on the Atlanta show tonight we are in for a GREAT show with lots of new songs, some old gems and some of the must have favorites. We will hear Coast of Carolina according to Jimmy. :D It is going to be a great time everyone!

and as we say here "down east" - SDI (Smile Damit). 8)
And raccoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese...

Seas in my veins I'm starting to look at you for that airport ride, if you don't mind.

And, I don't think I'll be "in costume". Work's been so busy just haven't had time.

After listening to the Atlanta show, my wife and I made a decision -- Road Trip from Indiana. I am working on tickets and a hotel this morning.

I noticed that you specifically mentioned that you were bringing 'facilities'. Does this mean that the parking lot does not have port-o-pots?

My pal that was going with me has essentially backed out: Her sister is getting hitched this Friday in Florida on a whim and she has to be there. And I broke my ankle last Friday. Schmuck it! I'm flying solo at this point. Any room for a late blonde stranger with a cooler of beer and a bottle of rum?

but if you see the time of the original post (3:00am) you can reasonably deduce that i was hammered at the time of posting, hence the confusion on the number of days.

I want to provide a little local info for anyone staying in the area. I seem to recall a bunch of people staying at the hotels near Exit 10 off the Beltline. This is the exit where the Hilton is and is where you find Bahama Breeze.

The whole intersection where the exits are is under MAJOR construction. They seem to be doing most of the work over the weekend (Great fun for me as I was trying to get on the GD highway yesterday and it took me from Hey Good Lookin' to at least Coastal Confessions to go about 1/2 mile) so Wed/Thurs might be OK. But...be warned, the local DOT seems to enjoy totally mind-effing the locals and moves the lanes around more or less at whim. The whole area has been described by one irascible letter to the editor writer as a Boondoggle.

So...it may be messy later this week. I can't wait to go drive through it in a little bit to get to the grocery store. Just be careful and expect a moron driving an SUV to cut you off at any moment.
Someone give me a few million bucks so I can buy a boat and move to the Virgin Islands. OK?

Well, we have just returned from Frisco. The tailgating was good, but in no way does it compare to the madness that was last year or what havoc what we all will inflict on Thursday!!!! We will be bringing our FCM, although I was wondering if we'd need the whole FCM or just an extra pitcher, since there will already be an FCM? Any thoughts??

Is anyone up for meeting at Bahama Breeze on Wednesday evening for some drinks, etc?
