    I'm going to conveniently not show up. Need to invest in some good brakes for the sti before the driving season begins, and have a few other expenses. I didn't realize how much the ticket was until matt/dana told me the other day..

    cornhole set is cut out, been assembled, disassembled and primed. Final coat tomorrow, Kakies' sister is helping to sew up the bags. Going for this look, but using a black background and GT logo in gold. Bags will be black and gold.

    bump. heading up tomorrow. if you're on the fence: come. it's worth it

    got the projector working (thanks techlord)

    I may have a free spot in the RV for anyone that wants to stay friday night -> saturday. not sure if wrxin8or will be attending due to work. rate is reasonable - this is all coming out of pocket for me. get drunk and crash at the RV!

    minus a few paint details, and the big GT logo in the middle, she's all done. Bags just finished up, gotta stuff them and sew the last inch shut.

    Nicad and I are issuing the challenge, bring on all takers. Feel free to make wagers if you'd like

    Hope everyone had a good time.

    Wish I would have come by and said "hey," but to be honest we were on the other side of the field and plastered. That walk seems really long when you're trashed and the Mrs. doesn't want to go any further than the pits.

    A friend got us VIP passes to the "other" Patron tent beside the Porsche set up. Got all the free drinks we wanted, and it ruined us. I was barely able to walk back to our campsite. The supplied steak dinner on Saturday was quite delectable, though. :)

    Ped was saying that you have to pretty much reserve the spots in the april prior. i think there is enough interest that we can set it up before then and get donations to make it more fair. this would also give people a longer time to come up with the monies.

    At the same time, it's not first come, first serve. If you had the spot the year prior, you have first dibs. Otherwise, there's a pretty long list of people trying to get in or move around to another spot.

    finding out about the politics of a 'mere' rv spot this past weekend was interesting. All i can conclude is that our spot was pretty awesome, and I hope we can keep it for next year/future.

    No bad on your part! I said we would come by and see y'all, but instead we got slobbering drunk and couldn't walk our asses up the hill. We didn't expect anyone to come looking for us.

    Just glad to hear everyone had a good time!

    We'll have it until we don't want to pay for it anymore. And even then, we'll still have it, we'll just rent it out to other people...

    (and by we, I mean Ped)
