    SID!!!!

    A face to face finally!

    Side note, talked to Dodd today, my battery tube pre will be at the meet, he's burning the midnight oil to get it done. I told him that the Polk crowd wanted a first hand look / listen, and he's making it happen.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    For the official itinerary....look at the lodging/logistics thread....

    EDIT: Sid, you MAY want to leave later on Friday. Chances are pretty high that Friday up until about 3pm or so I will be hit or miss. Which means the house will be locked up tight.

    Polkfest ends, when the workday begins. You ****'s need to be heading home or downtown for some fun before you go.

    Ask some of the folks @ MD Polkfest what Sunday was like....time to giddy up and return things to normal.

    I love the folks for making my wife happy, by 5PM it was like nothing happened, but this ain't no Boy Scout Jamboree, get the **** out....perhaps Troy has a better way of saying it.

    Ok, so far no requests for local tourist info.....but, you know, google is your friend.

    Far as the 'fest itself:

    Official kickoff is 1600 on Friday. Which means, I plan on being open for bidness by then. Now, if you get in earlier, want to stop by and so forth....just give me a jingle as I may be off running errands and so forth. Not that you aren't welcome earlier but, just so you know, call first. If you don't have the contact info, pm/email me and I'll get it to you.

    Attendees: Please, if you are planning on attending and you aren't sure that I KNOW you are coming, please, let me know. I'm guessing 30 but some of you guys are in limbo so, let me know.

    Again, the agenda for Friday is up in the air. I will be providing food/beverages for those that wish to hang out. There are also those heading downtown. Word to the wise though, be safe. This is a big college town and the local gestapo is not terribly charitable if you catch my drift ESPECIALLY if you have out of state tags. Be warned.

    Saturday.....official kickoff, sometime around 10 or so. The plan is to have three rigs (for those that were here in 04, layout will be similar). There will be designated people who can swap gear (but the plan is to keep that to a minimum) and software. If you bring something, keep track of it. I had one attendee two years ago (who no longer participates) get a little disjointed because he lost a CD. I will mail back CD's at my leisure but if I can't find it....buyer beware.

    Sunday......get the hell out of town!! Just kidding. For those that wish to hang out on Sunday and press the flesh one last time, by all means. I'm not sure what in the way of food etc will be provided as that's the day I pretty much plan on cleaning up and getting the house back on it's foundation. However, those that want to swing by are more than welcome to do so.

    Many of you have been to my home and I really don't have too many rules. The main rule is, have fun. Help yourself to whatever I have in terms of food and so forth. If you need something, feel free to ask. My goal is to make everyone feel as at home and comfortable as possible. That said, I have VERY cool neighbors however, especially as the night goes on....I ask that we be considerate. Again, most of them are very cool and will probably be there but, you know, we don't need 115db at 3am. I also have a dog (english bulldog puppy) and a cat. The dog thinks it's everyones duty to pet him and pay him attention. The cat ignores pretty much everyone. Just so you know, I have pets.


    FIREWORKS are a NO-NO!

    Also, and I shouldn't have to say this but I will. If you think that torching a fattie is a splendid idea, refrain. Do it at your house, at your hotel..whatever. Do NOT consider doing it in/around my home. I will not be amused.

    Also, this is an event with adult beverages. IF you are staying at a hotel, consider a car pool or possibly going in on a taxi or some such. I would HATE to see anyone get bagged for DUI. That said, if just simply don't have the capacity, grab some floor, sofa, chair, lawn and pass out. All I ask is that any bodily fluids that happen to discharge, clean them up.

    Last but certainly not least.....we are going to adopt on official Polkfest '06 charity. The Githens Center in Mt. Holly NJ. We will be doing a raffle (item(S) is TBD).....proceeds from my LP sales and of course, donations are welcome. After the 'fest wraps up....I will combine the proceeds and send off a check.

    BDT

    For those that didn't see this in the other thread.

    Sunday, come by, hang out...say your farewells etc etc then head on home at your leisure.

    BDT
