    My mom is under no delusions about my virtue......


    OK, gang, I'm getting ready to return to the gold ol' USA tommorow so I'll be off the air for a couple of days.

    Those that are planning on attending, please, send me an email sometime next week at: wdion@knology.net and put polkfest in the subject line (so I don't think you are trying to sell me something to make my johnson bigger). I'll then consolidate the emails and send out my home phone # (which most have anyway) along with directions both to the hotel and from the hotels to my house.

    Sound good?

    OK, gang, we are now under TWO WEEKS until the big event.

    I need a favor, for those that are attending and haven't emailed me yet, please, let me know. I've got to order the grub and need a reasonably accurate count.

    Thanks,

    Troy

    Zero,

    What about renting a car? You could prolly bag a subcompact on hotwire or some such for 20 a day. You can crash here, I have food for Friday night and all day Saturday....shouldn't be much of an outlay of cash, to be honest.

    You should all be coming here to help me drink all the booze I paid for!

    Anthony - Contact me for reservation information as to where a couple of us are staying already. I actually posted it earlier in this thread, if you want to search.

    Well guys, looks like I have to cancel on this, much to my dismay.

    My company is having a major server upgrade, main firewall upgrade and having just been piled on top last week, a new office opening all during that week leading up to and during the weekend. Seems our bigwigs chose this weekend for the major part due to the holiday monday. If we run into any problems come monday morning, alot of our clients will be closed for the holiday and won't be impacted. This will give us a "live" day to work out any problems.

    THIS F-ING BLOWS!!!! I really wanted to be there!!! Oh well, it's the life of an IT Professional and I chose it. There's always a catch to everything. Hey, they're now paying for my cable internet connection at home! WOO HOOO!!! Oh yeah, I'm now on emergency after hours and weekend call to go along with it. Gotta do some work from home to!

    Someone be sure to smack Sid the Kid for me and post how it felt to do it.

    Have fun guys :(

    John
    No excuses!
