That's it.
With the last few just getting in....MrGEM,Blu67, Outlawboss...we are at capacity.

Sorry...

[cmayna]

Do you have anyone who have signed up who are on the iffy side who might be letting their paid spots go due to no shows?

Sure hate to see anyone (with a few exceptions) :lol:  get turned away.

[guruatbol]

My two daughters and the oldest daughter's new husband will need a seat.   Total of three.

Amber and I will rent a car.

Anybody got an extra seat in the car for the cruise on Saturday afternoon? I'm hoping to get my check inn for the dinner at BBC as well but unless you want me to darken your caravan with a Honda, I need a seat. :lol
Anyone...anyone...Bueller...Bueller?

I "might" have a spare seat.  (Don't know yet if my wife will be able to attend this year.)  You're welcome to it.

[blu67]

Sweet! Let's get back in touch closer to the show date just to confirm.
Thanks, Bill.

I'll have one seat available for the Sat cruise.

[crustycurmudgeon]

If I end up driving my SHO (likely), I'll be looking for a seat for the cruise as well.

I may have to rent a car for me and the SWMBO and one for my daughter and her new hubby too.  We don't want any Hondas in the parade.

Mel

[blu67]

Thanks, guys! I'll check back in with everyone closer to the date and see where we are.

[guruatbol]

I will need final payment by March 25th.  Thanks guys!

For those that did not reserve a room and need one, please send me a message and I can see what the availability is.  They have changed the rates for add on rooms, so I can not guarantee the same rate as published above.

Thanks,

Mel

I'll have one seat available for the Sat cruise.

Does the available seat have the standard wearing a ManKini requirement?   :lol

[blu67]

It better not! I don't want to embarass Craig AGAIN...

[Epperstang]

Was looking forward to seeing all you knuckleheads again and meeting those I haven't.
HOWEVER... We are changing our April plans. Won't be going to Knotts this year.
My son is running the Boston Marathon the previous week. We decided to use our funds to go cheer him on.

Maybe next year to Knotts.
Have a good time.

I believe a mankini gets an immediate disqualification from riding in my car... unless it's a womankini... which carries a strict weight limit requirement.

Got my hangtag/registration card for the show in the mail.  Yippee!  Just a short time away!

***NOTE***
Photo Op is at Point Vincent (lighthouse on point)...NOT Point Vincent Park
Same as last few years. It was noted by SacBill that the park is more inland which was not our destination.
Check the Google Maps link provided.


OKay here''s the usual cruise info. That being said If someone wants to come up with a better cruise and photo-op you are welcome to it.

I and some others just plan on the meet in the mall parking lot and then got directly to the Photo-op location, Point Vincent  and hang there a while until dinner time. Everyone can do as they want...its that type of weekend.

Keep on Ocean Blvd and head east.

Notice that just after Ocean Blvd and 37th Place Ocean Blvd will split. To the right is Ocean Blvd (which is the fork you should take) and the main road veers left to become E Livingston. Take the right fork of Ocean Blvd to Termino Ave and turn right. Drive to the end of the street into the beach parking lot. Park and pay or you will be ticketed.

Please study a map before you go.
We’ll try to stay together but will not stop to bunch back up. If you’re far ahead slow down, if you fall behind, speed up. All tickets received are no doubt earned so be careful.
Photo op will be at Point Vincent.

Just took the car for a ride the last few days. Looks like I gots me some work to do before the show. Even though the car's not officially entered this year, when it stalls at stoplights you know it's time to finally crack the hood. :)

Getting excited to see everyone again!

[guruatbol]

OK, guys just a reminder I have to pay the Hotel on the April 1, 2010.  So if you haven't paid me, please do between now and then.  If you are going to mail a check the mail time is about three days from NorCal and SoCal to me in Southern Utah.

Thanks,

Mel

[KBMWRS]

PLease note the change/update to the Sat cruise info post a few replies above.

[opentrackerSteve]

I just remembered you guys had migrated over here (I had wondered for weeks where the posts were on brand x's forum).

I'm in for Sun night and have my check submitted (haven't gotten my hang tag yet).

Steve

[crustycurmudgeon]

Thanks for the reminder, Mel.  I'll send you a money order.

Frank

[KBMWRS]

Steve you need to hang here with the cool guys. :vic

Been lurking here for a while, going to be joining you at the Marriott for the weekend.  Mel sent me over here to see what was going on.   Bill, if you need names for a headcount for the Sunday evening dinner, put me on the list for 2, we'll be staying in the area Sunday night and would like to join in.
We're going to be coming down meeting up with the NorCal group, planning on joining around Bakersfield.  We're driving a 2010 Mustang, the '66 is far from ready for a trip.
