    I'm pretty sure it's a "pants optional" event since Doro is in charge. Your choice.

    Ok, I am bringing pants. They might come off for the maggies.

    Looks like I am going to fly, better get a good plane for Big Daddy, you outta see the horrified looks my seat mates give me when first bounce down next to them:D ;)

    DJ, no Southwest to BWI from JAX, looks like it will need to be Delta, likely I will get in around 3 or 4 in the afternoon how does that work for you?

    I don't NEED a car rental, but if I wanted one, would I be held responsible for it? This could be fun.

    I'm sure that re-enacting the scene in the movie Jackass would be frowned upon.....

    Thanks, I'm not sure if I'm coming yet. If I do, it'll only be for Friday, and it's at least a three hour drive from my house... Just want to know what time in the morning I'd have to leave. Thanks,

    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Our wives KNOW we are a sexy bunch though!

    Man had travelocit'ed my flight but did not book it, went back in to book and Delta had raised the fare over a hundred bucks, switched to US Airways, still got a great deal there, will be landing at BWI at 2:00 pm on Thursday. Round trip was 140.00.

    Leaving Sunday at 10:00 am.

    Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

    I had a meeting at Polk HQ yesterday with all the heavyweights....after they strip searched me and made me sign a confidentiality agreement....we discussed Polkfest 2005. I'm extremely happy to say that they are as excited about this event as we are.

    SHOW UP! GET DOWN HERE! YOU MAY NOT HAVE THIS CHANCE AGAIN! IT'S FREE!

    How many different ways does it need to be said that this is a rare opening of doors??

    I have some information to post regarding the "timeline" for the event and a brief outline of what was discussed....but I have to decipher my notes from the meeting.

    All I can say for now is Holy Crap :D It's gonna be very very cool. I drove home with no pants on, that's how excited I was.

    I also spoke with Heddy about the travel information and such. She has been working on this actively and the meeting brought up more things to research, stand fast, it will all get posted soon.

    I'll post my corporate codes this weekend. They may come in useful, they may not....sometimes just being dilligent in your travel search gets you great prices.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
