green1 - I got it. Our group of 15 will be near the bus area (we're hitching a bus ride with the WAPHC) with a canopy, a couple of grills, and (hopefully) a flip cup/beer pong table. We'll be tossing around a football as well.

Just remember - if it's too hot, don't shoot the messengers!

Thanks,
It looks like my system is just being slow. The messages are leaving the outbox . . . slowly.

Shooitng the messenger is a time honored tradition. It ensures that only good news reaches yoru ears. That way bad stuff never happens.

tsavos -- anymore room on the bus? would love to join a group and not have to do the drive back to the hotel.

Thanks

Unfortunately the bus that we're on is filled. We received an e-mail from the coordinator who now has a waiting list. If you want to, contact the Washington Area PH Club at www.waphc.com to see if they have any more space or other buses going.

Got my spray fan bottles at Sports Authority for $7 (marked $10 but a sale is on) They had them at wall mart but they were trashed.. $5, and not packaged. They are going to be a godsend Thursday.
(** Griz sufferring from heat stroke ==> )

and FYI you youngsters!!! Last year, Nissan made anyone that even looked like they were under 35 get a wrist band.. You had to stop by a tent ON THE WAY IN.

Fortunately por moi,,, I don't need no stinkin' wrist band!

Yep, just passed Nissan today on my way to do errands. I saw a tourbus with Mississippi a few blocks from there. We are still going to do a pub crawl to beat the heat. Hope to see some Parrotheads at our local establishments.

It came through. Hope to meet up with some of you fine people tomorrow.

Anyone know if they have handicap parking at Nissan? I assume they do; if they didn't it would be a lawsuit waiting to happen. Is it right in front at the box office?

ANOTHER " Chilling" SUGESTION

Sent you a PM with the numbers.
With age comes wisdom. Why build a tolerance to alcohol and have to spend time and more money to get drunk when, if you stay a lightweight, a six pack will do the trick?

Hey there! Hope to see some of you at the Tiki Bar tomorrow night! It's going to be sweltering hot, and I like the suggestion of wet/cold towels on the neck and head.

Be safe everyone. Watch out for those pholks who may have medical issues. Sad story up at Fenway this week about a pregnant woman dying... her baby lived. Predicted temp is 100. It was 98 here today with "feel like" temps at 109.

Does anyone know where to find the BN Name Tags? I heard that there's a thread that has one on it. I guess the idea is that we'd be able to identify each other since some of us have never actually seen each other. Ideas?
