Party

Not since "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" has there ever been such an anticipated sequel...

EB FORUM KNUCKLEHEAD PARTY 2007 -- DESERT DOMINATION!!!

Festivities officially begin on Friday evening 9/28/07, Knucklehead Jam/Forum Awards Banquet
Location: EB Factory - Coachella, CA

Saturday will entail full range of activities to satisfy your every need. Choose one of the following:
-Golf (including "Out drive the Darg" competition, heheheh)
-Bowling (Bowl for Balls)
-Desert Jeep Tour
-World-class shopping excursion

Factory tour is in the early afternoon on Saturday, finishing by about 4pm. This will give you plenty of time to noodle in your hotel room, arrange your combover and paint on your snakeskin leather pants for the big hoopla Biff Baby's All-Stars jam at The Tack Room Tavern in Indio, CA. Catering will surpass your every desire.

Thursday, 9/27/07, Toto is still planning to play at the Indio Municipal Golf Course at 6pm-9pm. However, Luke's wife's due date is ON the 27th, so it is very possible that this gig could be canceled, so book at your own discretion. Keep checking the Events site for Indio Parks & Rec: Coachella Valley Concerts - Live Rock, Desert Rock or the Toto site: www.toto99.com - Official TOTO Website for updates.

Sunday is a travel day for most, but I'll probably be in the Fantasy Springs buffet champagne brunch (10am - 2pm, $21.95), so if y'all want to join me, I'll be there, but you're paying... for me.... hahahaha :D

Answer the poll AS SOON AS YOU KNOW so we can get a head count for hotel reservations and catering. Details about the hotel group rate and the free night of stay will be posted very shortly, but are tentatively planned for Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino: Fantasy Springs Resort Hotel & Casino - An Elegant Palm Springs Hotel, CA

Man what a DRAG, l'Ve Had this wedding Booked In San Luis Obispo for a Year Now and of all things this Party Lands on that Date.
Oh Well, Kids Have fun and l'll get there next time, :<:)mad::mad:

I'm going to have to check with the boss about some time off to get out there...

...looks like I'm allowing myself some time off. I guess the big question would be if I should stick Pete with manning the stores. ;)

You're gonna have to ask Dad to sign your paychecks for a few weeks after that comment :mad:


Steve Morse would be great for the All-Stars! :cool:

D'oh!

Would love to have come and met up with everyone face to face - but 2 holidays already this year means a) no money and b) no time off left :(

I am sure you all will have a wonderful time - the events sound fantastic ...

maybe next year ...

Damn, I seriously looked into this and with 5 nights of Motel6 accommodation the cheapest I could find including flights and transportation would cost 600 of her majesty's pounds. Any chance I could kip on the factory floor next to Ursula? I promise not to "try" anything on with her! ;)

The 28th is my birthday. Hopefully, I'll be celebrating it in the desert.

The dryer just died and my daughter is leaving for her 6th grade outing that next Monday, for a week. I am really hoping things turn around in the next couple weeks. So at best I can say the wife and I maybe.

I guess my first question is: what is the closest airport that we should check flights to? I'm geographically illiterate.

Then, does anyone have plans to rent a car from that airport?

I'm a University student who just bought a BFR... funds are low. However, I want do to come.

I'll have to figure out the expenses for a nights motel stay, and a round trip to Palm Springs from Toronto.

I'll get back to ya!

The closest airports are 1. Palm Springs (PSP) 2. Ontario(ONT) 3. Los Angeles(LAX). If you do fly into LAX and drive to Palm Springs beware that traffic on a Friday can be horrible. You could add 2 hours to your drive easy.
