Mike and Paul,
A few of us early worms are arriving on Thursday and are planning to use part of Friday to get the trail dust off our cars. I think a informal dinner and whatever follows sounds like a primo idea. I'm thinking that we can reach some sort of informal plan sometime Friday. There are a number of resturants close by, close enough that we should be able to leave our cars at the Courtyard and walk. There is a Outback, a Claimjumper, and a couple of others close to the hotel. Dale Bates has been there for the show and probably has some good advice for a watering hole/dinner place. Maybe some of the SoCal guys will want to meet us on Friday afternoon to join the fun. Lets talk it up on this thread and when we reach an agreeable time and place we will post it here. After dinner I am sure some parking lot sessions will occur!
Getting close aren't we? Washed my car yesterday and it is standing tall, all ready to get encrusted with bug and road grime. Car is definatly faster after a nice wash job.
