Originally posted by PJS55 Please sign myself and my S.O. to thursday and friday night. I'll make it to breakfast on Saturday but I don't think she'll want to get up that early. i'm also up for anything going on Wednesday as I'll already be there Tuesday afternoon.
Again, George, thanks for going through the effort of making the arrangements to get us together.
I definitely won't be there Wednesday but, given Paul and others earlier requests, I'll suggest the following addition based on some of the earlier comments (thanks Paul).
Yeah, I think you'll like Huck Finns. The kind of place where they have a roll of paper towels on each table.
I might be there Tuesday PM also, so I hope sometime we'll get that list together with maybe motels and phone #s.
Don't forget me!
I'll be at the Royal Inn, stoplight 3, in a car with Virginia plates....probably either a 93 Cad Sedan De Ville with fading navy color paint or a 96 black Seville.
Got any idea how long it lasts? I really want to see it while I'm there, but I've got a hot date in Nashville Saturday night and don't want to be arriving there too late. Isn't the parade sort of like the end of the event?

'rage,
Pack a lunch, We could be in for a long one if many flatties and Y-blocks show up.
You mean this year they are finally going to let the flatties and Y-blocks run circles around the other trucks instead of just riding their brakes to keep from running into 'em? I know they were considering that as an option for the parade but I figured it would make all the non-flatty and Y-block owners feel really bad.
I heard they had to halt the parade last year after someone dropped their loose change in the road. All the lowered hot rods were helpless to drive over the bumps. Fortunately, someone in their stock F-250 came to the rescue. Was that you, George?
No, it wasn't me, but I did hear about that. I think the Feds got involved since the trucks were destroying Federal property (the coins). It's a shame that a few folks with their wild ideas about turning their trucks into snow plows always seem to ruin the fun for everybody.
I'm not sure if anyone is actually keeping an attendance plan or not, but I think I've finally got my trip plan ironed out. Put me down for the Friday night and Saturday morning meetings. There is also a possibility that I will have one or even two guests, depending upon my compadre's ability to get his wife to sign his permission slip and let him have the keys to his bike and whether I can pry the old man out of his vacation hideaway on Lake Cumberland on the way through. Also, since Dewayne is the designated cell phone tree administrator, he'll have my number on the list. Woo hoo! Just a week to go until I leave! Can't wait to meet all you guys!
The Wed night at Huck Finns; ....we might not arrive until Wed about 4, so.......if you see a few guys arriving closer to 5 please understand.
4 sounds early anyway!
For what it's worth....I thought I'd be arriving late Tuesday, but:
I have a ceramic tile showroom and am expecting a big delivery Wed AM, so I'll probably have to stay for it. I leave 2 girls at the store in my abscense, and they don't want to unload 6000 pounds by hand, and I can't trust them with the fork lift.
By the way, ...it usually takes longer to get everybody in line and off the lot than the whole cruise. The cruise is only about 5 miles, but at 15 MPH, it will take a while. After everybody that chose to go gets back, the awards ceremony takes place in the back of the Convention Center (and this year the 53 effie give-a-way!). Then I think it is basically over.
Sunday the grounds are cleared of anything looking like a truck!
