Rally: Will You Be There?

Let's see how many of you plan on showing up for this shindig. Start counting off: how many of you people do I finally get to meet in person?!

Depends on Mrs. Bears summer school schedule and the baby bear's summer activities- too soon to tell. I think the Nwst chapter is arranging to have a single-wide towed into Rollie's back yard, but we're having a hard time finding one for less than $500.

Wait a minute- you mean it's THIS JULY?!?! I though it was next year!!! Folks, you gotta plan ahead a little further than THIS if you expect me to fit this into my schedule!

Seriously, I'm involved with putting together another convention in Buffalo, and that one is 2006. I guess I had that one on my mind when I typed the date. Sorry......

I know where one can be had for that price (swamp cooler included at NO extra cost ), but we like to have accomidations of generous porportions . For the amount of time we will be there we need a double wide; it holds more members too . As for sanitation, we can address that with a 55 gal plastic barrel, some 4" ABS, a chain saw, and a shovel to bury it. YeeHAWWWWW!!!!!!

I don't care what we stay in when we get there just as long as there's room for this:



Otherwise if our trailer doesn't have enough space Rollie's kitchen will do the trick.

Jeff, does this mean you WON'T be at this year's event?

It depends. I've got a call in to George and Laura right now- if they can re-schedule the BBQ in Crawford to the FOLLOWING weekend, there's a chance I can make it....

Mil1ion-

didn't you read my reply to your first comment on this? I thought I was clear, maybe not. I had the other convention I'm involved with on my mind when I posted, so I put 2006. Sorry.

So, are YOU going to be there? I don't recall reading an "affirmative" on your part...

I'd love to make it, but apart from being on the other side of the world, I already have plans...
Sounds like it will be a hoot though.

Jeff, if you go, would the trip be tax deductable?
Well you could argue its for business purposes (just pack some brochures)...
