Normally I have Tuesday's off, but with taking the weekend off, I may have to pick up a shift that day. I'll keep you posted.C-Dawg wrote:I get in around 9pm on Tuesday night....just tell me where you're gonna be and make sure my drink is ready!!!

Anyone coming from the south (of Sarasota) let me know if you are interested in caravaning - we can meet at my house and go from there
PM me and I will send you the address. I think if we get on the road from here by noon - we'll be there a little after 1. Enough time for some pool games and adult beverages

It varies from year to year. We usually look out the hotel window to see when they start letting the cars in. Maybe 9:30 ish? You'd have to ask Adrian. He is always the first one there.

He is always the first one there.I believe our plan is to head in around 9:30. Unlike a lot of other venues.. they dont really force you to park in a particular area so you're free to go anywhere. Just head over to the trees (see that nifty map way back on what, page 1 or 2?).

Connie, we'll start tailgating at our tiki hut on Thursday night when you come over! We'll leave bright and early Friday. It's going to be the shortest seven hour drive ever.Conolulu wrote:catsway wrote:Thanks!
