    I'm getting pretty excited as well. Looks like things are going to fall in place this year.

    As it gets closer I'd like to see a final roster. I'm sure the original 64 or so have been pared down. If not, that's a great attendance.

Scompracer will probably be riding with me from Pgh to MD. DiPole Dan will be meeting us there also. I think we'll be arriving Thursday evening. Who wants to buy me dinner??:D

    I'm glad to hear Rich is making the trip. I had a chance to meet him at the mini Illinois fest last year. I'll meet you out for dinner; but you're on your own as far as $$$ :p. I'm meeting Doug and probably McLoki and Ricardo at some point on Thursday. When is everyone getting into to town Thursday? Late morning; early afternoon; early evening???

    I would like to arrive around 6:30 - 7:00PM. I will probably be traveling with Scompracer. I will be limited by his arrival. But, I'll be happy to see my old pal and I look forward to seeing all of you guys and gals. H9, if you are still hungry we'll grab a bite.

    I am not a drinker. I don't have anything against it, but I just don't do it. I'm too old to beat myself up like that anymore. That's not to say that I don't hang out in bars. I'll be glad to be a designated driver for those of you who indulge in the spirits.

    Woohoo! I have no friends but luckily my wife has tons and it paid off today!

    She just got off the phone with an old friend of her's in Virginia and she's less than an hour away from Baltimore so guess who doesnt have to drop $300 in motel money?! Yes I will be mooching off a friend for free room and board for the weekend.

    Thats huge for me with all the big car audio competitions coming up in the next couple months and a vacation in November - I was starting to wonder where the green was gonna come from.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
