Just curious if there is one yet. It's getting close!

Roughly, since my wife has all the paperwork:
Friday night: 7-9 pm, Biff's Expansive BBQ Dinner at "Love and War In Texas" in Grapevine, TX, home of Norah Jones and, um, some grapes. Or maybe just some grapevines. Anyway, good eats at a real Tex-Ass kind of place complete with saddles and wild boar sausage and God knows what else they eat around here. I am told they have a bar as well.
After 9, the stage is ours. Or yours, actually, although I suspect some vaguely Cowpilot-ish persons will be present in case you dweebs can't get started properly. This is when/where the Knuckleheads get to Exhibit Their Symptoms and annoy the living crap out of John Ferraro. ("Do you know that Metallica song, John, the one that goes dum dum dum dah dah dum?") Anyway, we'll all be full of wild boar sausage and stuff, so no one will care. Plus, there is a bar.
Saturday afternoon - 2-4 pm. Clinics with Luke and Dave LaRue at the Hyatt Regency. Don't ask Luke about the Cheryl Ladd sessions. Do ask Dave LaRue where he stashes his Bongos while in Dallas. Top dollar paid for information, extra for room key. About 40 people will fit in this room, or maybe 30 fat people. So if you're really fat, just loiter outside and get someone to fill you in later. Just kidding!
Saturday night:
7:30-8:30 pm: registration and cocktail hour. Yes, you must register. No, I don't know why. Maybe this is where you get your "Hello, My Name Is" label. No, I don't have to wear one. Yes, you do. Everyone gets a certain number of drink tickets, that number I believe being three, four being right out. If you need more than three in an hour, we're going to be good, good friends. After you exhaust your three drink tickets, you may purchase additional drinks with that stuff in your wallet. Asking for Gordon's Vodka is discouraged. You only live once, unless you belong to some weirdo religion - and no, I don't want to know about it if you do.
I have heard rumors that other things will happen during the cocktail hour. Maybe there will be little gift bags or special socks or something. You'll probably have the opportunity to pretend that Luke really likes you or that Beth thinks you're cute. Sterling will have no idea who you are unless you give him your forum name. Some of you may want to keep him in the dark. "I'm Jack's friend, um, Roger." You know who you are.
Oh yeah, my wife is REALLY worried after seeing the general dress from the photos of the SLO country club. Wife-beaters are strongly discouraged. You don't need my wife writing your name down. She's connected, if you know what I mean. No, you don't have to dress to the teeth. But no, don't wear your "Where My B!tches At?" t-shirt. (Yes, I do have one of those, too.) (No, she won't let me wear it outside.)
8:30-9:30 pm - Dinner/Buffet. The chef is from New Orleans and I'm from the Gulf Coast. I can only promise that alligator will not be served. But only because it scared my wife.
10:00-10:05 pm - Cowpilot plays a short set because BP says we have to. Yes, it unnerves me to play bass with Those Famous Guys in the house. No, we do not play any 'hits'. We are notoriously lazy, do not rehearse very often and have been known to sing in foreign languages. If we play beyond the five minute mark, we've made a terrible, terrible mistake. Which you, my guests, will pay for.
10:06-Who Knows - Biff Baby's All Stars take the stage. No, I don't know what they're going to play and neither do they. They do not believe in "set lists" and will make fun of you if you ask beforehand. Sterling will play glockenspiel and ukelele, Luke on guitar, Dave's on bass, John on drums and Tony on guitar/vocals. The proper answer is, "No, Luke, those jeans do not make your ass look fat."
At 1 am, the whole shebang shuts down and we move everyone to Jon Smith's room.
This is what I believe to be true, mostly.

Excellent, gives me plenty of time to goof off prior.
*Note* All Metallica songs are "dum dum" songs.
Excellent.
Haha, seriously, who in the world is going to mistake me for someone else.
I don't drink, but I am a weirdo. Some how I think that pans out.
Yay I need socks. Oh Sterling knows who I am, I'm that "guy that looks like escaped from a COPS episode."
I will wear my cleanest shorts and black t-shirt, I promise. A dapper dresser, I am not.
Wonder where he cooked... Aligator ain't all that, it's like gamey chicken.
I can't wait to see all of this!
That's one hell of a room Jon is getting!
I believe you, Jack. Mostly.
Thank you, sir.

I have an assortment of T-shirts from which I will be selecting one and wearing with pride ---- Not one Wu-Tang among them
EDIT:
Oh yeah, I made Nick a VERY cool custom T-shirt for this event.

Few more questions:
1. Are we going to have shuttles like BP mentioned in another thread somewhere long ago?
2. If so, when, where, etc. do we meet them?
3. Is Bombay Sapphire involved at any point in the festivities?
4. Okay, wife-beaters discouraged. DT workshirts, okay?
