(BTW, will the responsible party who took my secret stash of adult-orientated periodicals from my tool chest, please bring them back to Mo-town.)

Yes, Mikey will bring the gayboys.com magazines back when he's done with them (duh.....winning!!!)...

Bump to the top. The show's in 2 weeks. Can I ask for an updated head count? Also, do you all interested in having a pot luck/bbq like last year?

 

[crustycurmudgeon]

I'll be there Friday night through Saturday. The Friday night potluck is a good idea, thanks for offering to host it again.

Barb and I will be there as well. Yes for a pot luck. I'll do another salad but I don't remember which salad I did last year. Maybe a Chicken Ceasar or a ????????????

John:
I am planning to be there for the Friday evening events and part of Saturday (to mid afternoon) as I have a commitment back in the Bay Area late Saturday afternoon. At this point, it looks like Lynn will not be able to join us this time.

I'll attend the Fri cruise and Sat show, I'm not yet sure if SWMBO will attend.

I'll bring some potato salad and a veggie tray.

 

[KBMWRS]

Mike, I thought the hotel of choice was Springhill Suites. Or are you just being a loner?

Frank

OKAY...Springhill. :roll

 

[cmayna]

I plan to depart around 2 turdy to arrive around 4 turdy. Barbara says we're bringing a fruit salad. How about a marinated skirt steak (Arrachera)that is very thin which gets BBQ'd for maybe 2-3 minutes each side? Very quick and tasty.

 

[DEL65]

Hi everyone, it looks like the weather will improve this week and the show forecast is sunny and temps in the mid-80's. Just right.

Tom: Can you please bring your canopy.

BYOB Pot Luck, I'll have extra ice chests available to stash your beers and sodas. Head count will be about 10-15.

How about you guys: Tom, Frank, and Bill?

I PM'ed a map and with all the locations. Feel free to drop by my house anytime Friday afternoon. I'll be in the backyard, and you all can take a dip in the pool. I've got extra towels.

Like last year, the cruise is from 7pm to 8pm. Since they estimate about 700 cars will participate, we should leave around 6 to stage for the cruise.

More info to follow.

I'll bring the canopy and will take Fri off to be there early and go with you and get the shirts.
