    I say bring the chips just in case, there might be some lull time that would usually be filled with shrubbery wrestling and fireworks incidents. :p

    Ok, i just confirmed with someone here at work that I'll be able to borrow one of the white labcoats they use.

    With BDT's blessing, we're going to do some photos of you numbskulls wearing the labcoat and posing next to his SRS 2.3's (the now infamous Matt Polk labcoat 1980's brochure).

    LMAO, I'm wondering how many times i'll piss myself laughing at PF '06! This is gonna be great!

    Is anyone from the Chicago/Indy/Cincinatti/Columbus/Lousiville areas planning on driving or need a ride in order to attend?? I just found out that I will have the week off next week and will in most likelihood be driving to PFest. Let me know.

    And, who needs a roomie to split the cost of a room???

    I've found several rooms, I was just trying to find someone that wants to go but has no way of getting there so I could pick them up on te way and split fuel costs.

    Grr, I wish I could make it to this, I've always wanted to meet some of the cahracters on this board, but unfortunately I'm going to be in Portland that weekend, a trip I've had planned for like 6 months now.

    Hopefully Northeast Polkfest will come around at some point.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I guess I'll be driving it alone, but does anyone have a room with 2 beds that wants to split the cost, before I make reservations???

    He is in fact cool, but I'm not kissing the ****...would a hearty bear hug with no feet on the ground do?

    Don't worry George, after I'm nice and lit, I'll be sure to give him a reach around when I mount him.

    Notes to self for attending PF06:

    Do not drink anything you don't open yourself and maintain posession at all times until consumed.

    If you smell chloroform (even a whiff), run...don't walk to the nearest exit and find the car.

    When the activities mentioned in the threads above start, it's time to head to the motel room (the location of which you have kept secret) or to the nearest strip club (chances are there could be issues there also but the show will be better).

    Noel I thought about meeting you in Indy and then leaving with you from there, but there is no way for me to get Friday off; it's just too damn busy. I'm disappointed to say the least :(.

    I'll see what I can do, if this comes about it'll be very last minute. I'll keep you posted via PM. PM me the details of what your itinerary is and I'll do my best to try and get this thing together last minute.

    I gotta go right now but I'll get back to you this weekend probably after the Bears game tomorrow

    Dkg999 were talking in July about trying to make a plan, I bowed out from him because I Knew it was going to be busy at work and if I did pull it off it would be last minute.

    Hey Troy,

    How far are you from the ocean?

    I'll be going thru Kentucky, so if there are any special requests for bourbon or cigarettes, you better let me know. They sell cigs, real cheap and, of course, have the best bourbons in the friggin world.
