    Sorry to hear that Michael. Perhaps we'll have a local gathering in the near future.

    I can see Matt Polk pulling into his spot at 9AM, and seeing the tailgate party in his parking lot that's been going on since 7. Just saying.

    Hey Mark, if your keeping an eye on this thread, my wife and I will NOT be able to attend, I'm gonna send you a PM as well but something came up that I just can't get out of, my daughters very first band concert in which she has a solo. Really upset I'm not gonna get a chance to meet most of you guys/gals but this is something I have to do. I'm sure there will be plenty of pics for me to cry over but I'm sure you guys will have one hell of a time as always.

    I'm getting stoked! I'm arriving Thursday evening with Scompracer. Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!

    Mark,

    Can you give us any info about the plan for Saturday. What time? Directions? Gear on display? Appropriate dress? Are you voting for Obama? How about some detail? We're only 11 days out?:eek:

    My flight lands about 4:30-5:00ish. I'll be hungry, so this is a good possibility. I will be meeting Doug (dkg999) at BWI. He has the hotel room and rental car. I'm sure something can be coordinated.

    Does anyone know if Polk Paul will be there at all? And how about the Polk employee I pushed off the "Edge" last time Ken I think?

    Believe it or not I was playing kickball. My job formed a league and tues night was the first game. I was in left field and the ball was kicked to me and i was running and throwing the ball at the same time and when my foot came down it twisted and I felt 2 pops in my knee. I went to the ER and they think i tore the miniscus. I have to schedule a MRI to find out the extent of the damage. Its my right knee so making the 5 hour drive next week might be hard. I hope I can make it as well. I will keep everyone posted.
