I can't think of a better way to open your first weekend than to have 50 of the most awesome cars in front of it! How cool is this going to be - I am sooooo stoked!!!! See you all in 3 days!

Maybe goldilocks will still be there when you check in, keepin' the light on for ya!

How many people are going to be there Friday night? I only live a few minutes away and may cruise over. Maybe Eric will have some grand opening beer at the pool?

Good luck Eric, Tomorrow must be an exciting day!

Last month there was 450-550 cars. I would think there would be at least that many this Saturday.

Steverino, all the cars will have people, but not all the people will have cars. Sorry, SA from Kerrville.
I plan on two cars and 3 people unless wife stays at motel.

Everyone can sit around in their rooms or we can find something fun to do!

I may cruise over there between 6 and 7. I know the area well. Invading old town Grapevine would be fun. We can sit out front with our cars lined up at Esparza's and enjoy beer and Margurita's?

If people want to GTG Friday let's set a time. I live just a few minutes from the hotel but have to work until 5:30

It has been a tough summer with all the work coming in. I'm stressed out and wound tighter than an accountant's watch on April 15th.

I ain't spending Friday nite sitting around in my underwear watching CNN. Lets go somewhere and get into, at least, a little trouble, just short of getting arrested.

There should be sorta a frat party on Friday.

Today is the big day!
I will not be able to get away on Friday evening from the motel.
Someone has to great all those crossfires

Two crossfires will arrive on Thursday (today). We have 15 crossfires on Friday (some arrive very, very late) and
26 crossfires staying on Saturday at the motel.

Weather forecast for this weekend: PERFECT

D*ck's Last Resort is GONE! I went by there a few weeks ago and it's no longer in business.

All right. I've worked very hard the last 2 weeks to get ready for this trip. The chocalate bars are done, little treats are almost done, but will have Dan and others help me assemble them. I'm packed. It's raining here, but I'll be on my way to meet Franc and then we will start heading south. Look forward to meeting you all on Friday.

Been raining here all morning. It looks like rain thru most of MO.I don't mind so much driving in the rain just don't like driving with the top up.


It's time guys.

Jane will be blowing thru St Louis soon and I will try to keep up. She will be carrying all those Choclates and goodies. It may give my little NA a weight advantage.

I'm leaving on my personal jet in a few hours. Dallas/Fort Worth had better be ready.


Time to bring it on!
