My Brother lives in Connecticut. I should send him in my place. He can get me one of those free Y2d's you are presenting to all attendees.

 

[beej]

Love to go.

Just for the 18th? (Sunday) or should I come in for the 17th? Need to organize flight/hotel/etc.

 

[SteveB]

Pete,

That sounds very nice and all, but where will you be hiding that beer van?

 

[NorM]

Just count on having FUN!

I have 20 freebies so if he shows up he can get one for you. No joke.

Love to go.

Well, if anyone wants to arrive on the 17th and book a hotel for the night, I put some hotel info up.

As far as festivities on the 17th...
Nick's 21st birthday is the 13th, and we are going out to catch our cousin's band Yellow 9 at a bar on Saturday night the 17th. If anyone is coming in early enough, you are more than welcome to come with us, I'm the DD, possibly taking the MillerVan to transport people in bulk if I can tune the carburetor up in time.

Pete,

That sounds very nice and all, but where will you be hiding that beer van?

Oh, I plan on having it in plain view.

With this in mind - I will be graciously accepting gifts in both monetary and alcoholic forms.

 

[Funky Chicken]

I'd like to take a moment to direct your attention to the Yellow9 website's photos section-yummy.

I ordered some custom instrument/mic cables for the band yesterday and today. I had the shrink wrap personalized with their website on it, today the sales rep called me and said "Pete, GOOD GOD do they have some honeys on their website"

I asked "Why do you think I go to the shows?"


Seriously tho, they are a very good band, and they have a very good-looking crowd! until I show up and scare them away

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Bump for those who weren't here over the weekend

 

[mhorse]

I'm torn, Pete. I have an exam on 19th that will more or less determine whether I pass my Advanced Networks class or not. I'm more or less at peace with having to retake it, but it would be nice not to have to suffer through it again. On the other hand, I missed out on the Open House and I don't want to miss out again.... Oh, the roads we take....

 

[kbaim]

...On the other hand, I missed out on the Open House and I don't want to miss out again.... Oh, the roads we take....

Uh, it's possible they may be slightly different when all is said and done.

Also, when all is said and done, a lot more has usually been said, then done.

 

[akozols]

I'm hoping I can go. I had shoulder surgery and on the 15th I will see if I have to go back to work or get a few more weeks off. If I have to go back to work, I start on Sunday night and work thru the night.

If I get an extension, I'm going. I would leave Sunday am and return Sunday night. I could take a few passengers too. I'll keep you updated.

[Jonny Dubai]

Mate sounds fantastic. Would love to be there but.......well you know the story


Have a great one. And love these new Y2D's you have.

Jonny in the sand.
