The La Quinta has had several events at it (Migration being 1). I've stayed there several times. Tia Juana's Mexican Bar is there along with Knollwood's which is good for breakfast in the morning. The only bad thing is that it's right next to the train tracks. If you drink more, you'll never hear 'em....

Hey girlie girl! It's Betsy & Jeff, the wedding photographers you and your mom met at MOTM last year as well as Mark & Gary's show out in AZ!

We're going to the show next weekend. We'll have to look for you at La Quinta before hand. You still have our #?

Looking forward to a good show!

STOKED you're going to IslandFest too!!!

So I called them and they did say no toy haulers, but does anyone remember seeing those there in the past years? I mean, do they just say that, then let them in anyway. I would just hate to get there with one and be turned around.

Back in 91 - 94, I used to bring in my boat at the time, "Island Dancer" a 30' SeaRay cruiser on a wide load trailer, it was a great time and a hoot. We would put our anchor out in front after I unhooked the rig from my suburban and put a naked blow up doll waterskiing on the back in skis about 20' behind the boat. They did charge me $200 way back then because I took so many spots.

After I sold it for a bigger one in 1995, I then saw very big signs saying "No boat trailers, no boats, no trailers of any kind". Pretty much killed it and they enforce this now. I guess the boating revolution and trailers were not what they had in mind.

Hope this helps.

Your best deal there for beer is probably the 24oz Corona for 12 bucks or you can spend 10 bucks for a 18oz coors light. They have added a pretty cool Corona/Pacifico bar there too. It was a pretty fun area last night. Can't wait for Saturday. The weather is a little funky here today but Saturday should be nice...fingers crossed

Hey SD Pirate!
You part of the SD club too?
That sounds awesome with the boat and "skiing goddess"... unfortunately they have cracked down in recent years. . . But still a good time. Just wish he'd do another Coors show. SD shows are so fun!!!! And somehow the parking lot is easier to navigate than Irvine.

Looking forward to a good (long-overdue) show!

Fins Up....

Yes, we are part of the SDPHC, alas, we do zero club functions other than saying hello at the Coors show. Great people, but other than our yacht club, we are not much into clubs. I am so with you on Coors. It has been a great place to see Jimmy for all the reasons you say, and the bathroom situation & concessions are so much better than Irvine. Not sure if you were at the show with Jimmy flying the seaplane over the lot very low, highlight of all the Coors shows for me.

Stop by and say hello at Irvine. We are bringing two cars parked side by side.....white Bentley convertible with PIRET40 plates and a black escalade with FINS BUS plates. I will be with a really good looking blonde, my wife Heather.

We can not wait for the best show west of Boston (which we attended both shows in our bus two weeks ago).

Totally understand on the club thing... We'll look for you in the lot and say "HI" to our fellow SD pirates!

Actually, Jimmy flying the seaplane and tipping his wings is absolutely one of my very best show memories. It just makes me smile every time I think of it! Gotta love it!

Anyway, I'm heading up from La Jolla in the morning and am wondering if there are any pre tailgate parties and where. Staying a couple miles away from the venue.
