The hotel has 21 of our 30 rooms booked so far. If you haven't booked yet, you have until April 30th to do so.
We have 30 rooms blocked until April 27th (Friday). If you miss that date, you're on your own. If you think you want to go, but aren't sure you can make it, call and book and, if needed, cancel before the cancellation date of 2 days prior. Of course, contact me before you cancel since I may have someone waiting for a room and we can transfer it to them (happened last year). But, the simple thing is DON'T WAIT!
Hotel info is as follows:
Quality Suites
1631 Monterey St.
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
(805)541-5001
Tell them you're in the "SOC Group" for the special rate.
Watch for updates as I start asking for money to send my kid to college, er I mean, as I start putting dinner together.
Hey Dundernuckel, can you post this over on the Facebook page for Dr DeManto? P.S. I corrected the phone number so GERD doesn't keep calling that college girl asking to stay the night!
Got it, boss!
Were are set! Time to finalize the shirts. Plus get the raffle items together!
We are booked!
Fingers crossed I can get the wifey’s Coupe built so that she can drive it up while I drive the Speedster...
Booked, my son might come if he doesn’t have classes on that Friday (last school day)
With our Europe trip we won't make this trip

He might actually be serious, it’s not in ALL CAPS.
He's waist deep in tax returns. You can't believe anything he posts, but especially in April......
Maybe some dates would help those interested in joining us:
West Coast Cruise — June 8-10
Hotel Info:
Quality Suites
1631 Monterey St.
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
(805) 541-5001
Tell them you're in the "SOC Group" for the special rate ($219/night).
Notes:
Time for me to lay a deposit out for dinner. I'm going to need numbers ASAP so I can get everything set and determine a per person cost. Please reply with names (real and SOC) and the number of people in your party.
So everyone knows the plan, the consensus was to stick with the BBQ dinner like last year so our menu goes something like this:
Appetizers: 3 types of Sausage w/ sauces, Chips and Salsa
Entree: Pork Ribs, Beef Tri-Tip and Chicken Quarters
Sides: Baked Mac n Cheese, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Garden Salad and Garlic Bread
Dessert: Fudge Brownies
Includes Beer, wine, water and sodas.
Approx cost is $45/pp which will be payable in advance, but for now I just need numbers to get the contract signed and deposit made to hold the date in their calendar.
Thanks for doing this quickly.

Still on jack stands. Smells like dust and regret in my garage.
Should have bought a Miata and grown my hair out like Vinnie.
Do you need some help Ted? We could send Teby over to give you a hand. Just kidding, but I bet I could get a couple of us over there to get you on the road.

Didn't you learn anything from last year? Just let it burn!!!
@Troy Sloan - Thanks for the offer. It may come to that. I think I just broke my cardinal rule of one project at a time. Now I have 5 projects half finished. 100 little things pending. I'm going to sequester myself to the garage this Sunday to try and get it back on the ground.
Fly me in from West Virginia for a couple of days we'll wrench until it's roadworthy.
Now THERE'S an offer you shouldn't turn down!

I've found that when you need to get a lot done make a list and be out in the garage by 6AM and wrench away , you'll be surprised what you can get done .
Are you kidding me?
By the time I finish “Breakfast of Champions” and then do my exercises for my back and shoulder or, on alternate days, ride my training bike in the cellar for a couple of hours, it’s pushing ten o’clock!
6am my Aunt Gertrude!
Count us in - Brian, Monika, and Natalie
Responding for Bill & Natalie Nash. 2 for dinner.
Heidi and I will be there. Not with my car, but we'll be there.
