Connie and I will miss you "my brother from a different mother".
Jimbo, sorry that we won't see you at Carlisle, but I totally understand where you're coming from. Heidi's mom is 92 and so far, we're still going, but we might have to bail out at any time.
Like I've said before Jim...you da man!!! A Good Man

Thanks, Dale!
You are doing one hell of a job keeping this all straight. But unless my wife is bring someone I don't know about, I will be coming with her and my name is Jim. 
Dave Mitchell is bringing me.
Yeah but not as a plus one.....;-)
Bruce, I just mailed my stuff to you today. My credentials are part of Henry's from Intermeccanica.
Dave and I are going Dutch
Jim - My apologies, fat one-finger typing and late nights are my downfall. 
Good news, it's now my understanding you will be attending with your wife and not that other guy.
Dave Mitchell - Thanks for the heads up, I'm watching the mail and will send you an email when received.
Don't think about it,I am just glad my wife is bring me and leaving Dave at home.

MUSBJIM,
Just now see your 4/4 posting. Sure gonna miss seein' you this spring. Won't be the same. Darn. My mom passed 99 this past Nov. There are issues, of course, and she is being attended by my brother and some professional care-givers in her home in northern VA. Long story, not going to be told here, other than it is A MAJOR undertaking. Good luck, and stay well.
Kelly

Me too!
Maybe Stumpp has some anxiety calming information
It's too late to get sticker in the mail. Does it matter now if I purchase online or just got to the gate house and pay at the event? Any cost difference? Thanks.
I don't think so. I wonder why they didn't send them out this year? I thought that was supposed to be one of the advantages of early registration.
Hmmm... I registered in December or January. I guess I'd better check to see if I did, in fact, get one in the mail. I don't remember it.
Stickers will arrive 2 weeks prior
I haven't rec'd mine yet and plan to call them to ask when I can expect it.
Based on Alan's post we should all be getting them this week. My car is ready except for the final detailing. I hit the road two weeks from tomorrow to go up to Tom Raymond's place. Woohoo!!!!
I agee with Alan - mailed out two weeks prior. That will probably be the week of 4/28.
Marty,
To my knowledge at this point there is no price difference but you will have to stand in line at the Carlisle registration building before entering the gate. Early registrations get the sticker sent to your home and, once you put the sticker on your windshield, you can drive right in the gate. Also, it's too late now, but the number of registrations we got prior to April 12 counts towards us getting a free and perhaps larger tent next year.
So....If SOC misses out on a larger, far more luxurious, tent in 2015 by being short one pre registration...?
Carl...loosen up, eh ? The tent is important. We stash our coolers there with all sorts of stuff in them...ice too. The Ladies that habituate the tent are generally a nice bunch, good looking and helpful. Some of them can wrench too. Some tech seminars go on there. Lot's of stories, lies, promises, ambitions too can prevail, only to be encouraged around the "campfire" style goings on later at the hotel....
You're right David.
Sometimes my attempt at finding humor in the 'ironic' misses the 'humor part.
I'm sure nobody will blame Marty if we wind up with another cramped pup tent in 2015.
The way we keep growing they'll be building a permanent pavilion for us by 2016. I vote for a wet bar and big-screen TV.

For clarification...
I'm not looking for an isolated booth, candlelight, and two forks rolled up in a ribbon tied napkin!...I'm looking for socializing, high fives, maybe even hi-jinks to the point where we're asked NOT to return next year.
Parking for me has a higher priority than the actual food... I don't want to be on the street again!
As much as we can only wish, Dave Mitchell will only be watching via Chat Time or SKYPE.
