    When I say we, I mean some of the reps and such. Just so we could get make it easier and maybe expose some folks who wouldn't normally make the trip.

    There weren't any volunteers per say, I guess we're just going to have to bum-rush somebody and house their joint...

    If it's the Midwest that everyone wants...maybe one of the Rockford Audio Society guys could step up to the plate. They are about as Midwest as you can get. :D

    I was not involved in any such discussion so now the reps are picking polkfest??? Oh OK. Whatever they want the reps that is. Then if the reps want to pick they should kick in a couple grand.

    Disney has stepped up and I am supporting him. Seems I am not alone either.

    Florida sounds good. And it might give me an excuse to finally get there--we've been promising our daughter, who is rapidly approaching High School, a trip to Orlando for years?

    I think DisneyJ's offer presents a lot of possibilities for us NORTH EAST guys! I know I'd consider it 'seriously' and also spend some vacation time there if I can arrange it.

    Get the knot out of your panties for cryin out loud. It was just a discussion. I fully support DJ, too. Hell Yeah I'd like to go to Florida. Might even get further south so I could get Darla to put the cuffs on me if I try hard enough...

    Yes, kind of a Secret Society within the Rodina. They are the secret clique who CAN drink copious amounts of Makers Mark and NOT try to invert their internal organs. We tried to initiate you into the fold, but...

    Good. I don't want to be part of your circle jerk. I'm quite happy in my own, angry, hate-filled world!

    Now now...

    People who can 'drink' a LOT:

    1. Big and usually overweight boys (can absorb more alcohol before getting their brain fried).
    2. Those who 'consistently' drink too much so that they may or may not be alcoholics, but certainly have developed an ABOVE AVERAGE tolerance. (I did an internship working for the National Council on Alcoholism, years ago-in NYC).
    3. Those whose bodies are so ravaged or ill that they don't register 'normal' reactions to alcohol till it's too late and they're in the hospital for an underlying problem. (As examples) I lost two grad advisors to liver cancer and diabetes.

    Coming from a culture where holding one's liquor is a mandatory sign of manhood. I watched my father develop congestive heart failure from his 'abilities' as the Doctor told him, you continue like this and you'll be gone!

    At my age, there's really nothing left to prove except to share a drink or two or three with friends but not to the point of flaming out.

    But most of what I saw at Polkfest was all in good fun. And people were largely responsible as is evidenced by the fact that Lou's house and gear are still in tact.

    Very true, but there's always one (young) guy who ends up fertilizing the bushes.........:)

    I thought everyone at Polk Fest acted responsibly, and were respectful of the host's house and gear.

    I'm sure I'm missing another 1000 things you can do in Orlando but you got the idea....


    Pool should be around 85f or so. Days are usually about 85f but a little nicer since its not too humid. Nights are about 70f or so, really nice weather.

    Well if there's no water left after the first hour, that's going to suck.... It takes 2 days to fill it. :(

    To be honest I'd be more concerned about the chunks clogging the filter, nobody'll notice the weewee. The water is warm anyway...
