I may head up there on friday, stay friday and leave sunday morning.....
wondering what everyone else is doing?...

I didnt realize that this place is almost 7 hours away from me :OOO!
The one in ohio was closer, haha oh well, thats what I get for not planniNG AHEAD.


this sure does look like a great time.... I may even get my brother to tag along Im sure he'd enjoy it.

Do it, I'm driving ten hours. If you guys come down on Thursday, I'll already be there so i can rest from the long drive

If I can work it out I may try to head up early and get there Thursday since it is very long drive and I figure I might as well see a few things while I am there and rest up for the weekend and the drive back.

Yeah, maybe is still good, I'll be there waiting fro you guys

To Yar1s I think he meant he wanted to have a get together on friday and then go to the show sat and sun.

Ditch work and come early

What's an oasis? Is that like a rest stop? Or do you really have a pond and date palms and such?

LOL you California people crack me up. It's like a rest stop on steriods. I believe the one they're talking about is OVER the freeway. It's pretty cool. I haven't been to it since I was a kid.

just want everyone to know there is still no word on the group parking situation, but i will get it figured out. also, there will be a voluntary collection taken up to help fund the BBQ at my house. given last years bbq and the expected turnout of this one, we should have about 60-100 people at my house for this one (about the same as last year), dont worry, it wont be crowded though. theres plenty of yard room to do whatever it is you want, like volleyball and such. also i have a swimming pool outside and fooseball, pool (both kinds of pools LOL!), and table tennis inside for those who want to do that.

[dvlnblkdrs]

awesome.. this is gonna turn out to be really awesome and im glad that i get to be a part of this!

[PreciousPups4U]

You must have a HUGE yard. Gonna be great. What time you planning on everyone being there?

[mikenacarato]

last time it was friday around noon and people stayed until 7-8

[dvlnblkdrs]

hmmm i guess this means im going to be leaving earlier than i'd planned.. anyone wanna pick me up at the airport???

[mikenacarato]

i can pick you up.

[dvlnblkdrs]

[mikenacarato]

I believe the appropriate expression here is "baller"?

seriously, this meet's gonna tun out awesome for sure!

[SIPNGAS]

I'm getting there Thursday with Mike, John and Des....who else is planning on a Thursday arrival?

[PreciousPups4U]

I will try to arrange my schedule for Thursday.

[KCALB SIRAY]

Yay, another Thursday group. I think Charles is coming on Thursday as well. Oh and I picked up our stand in Thomas "Wilson" vollyball. lol I also have the same stuffed Panda animal as Bambo. Not too sure who will have him at that time, but maybe we can use him as the stand in for photos or just have him be his 2nd cousin twice removed and call him another name.

[SIPNGAS]

It's ok..we know some will make it Thursday, others not until Friday.... we're still going to have a great time!

[bikegerm]

Fellow Yarins'..... I'm taking that friday off. I'll come into town and lead the Yaris brigade from the hotel, out to Mike's house so nobody will get lost. I'll also print out directions for everyone in case we get seperated by stop lights. If anyone else besides Jill needs picked up at the airport, I can also help out with that. I'll be working on thursday, but I can pause what I've got going on and get anyone to their hotel.

Mike... I'll get together with you before hand and give you some cash for the food. Where you thinkin' about gettin' the bbq? Let's show these people some southern hospitality !!
