New job, new shift. Thursday -> Saturday + every other Wednesday. I'll try to sneak up to the hotel either Friday or Saturday evening after I get off of work.

It's lookin' like I may not be able to make it either. :-( My buddy's band is playing in Lynchburg and I told them I'd put them up in my house. Besides, I don't think I can honestly afford it this year. :-( If things change, I'll hopefully try to make it up at least Saturday!

Yea i can understand Gas is a huge factor this year. I'm re-thinking what i want to do. Just sucks that i'm kinda in charge this year People backing out, gas prices increasing by the day.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to tell you on AIM today. Sorry man. :-( If no one goes to this, party @ my house later in the year? :-D

Dave, I think I already told you this, but I too will not be making the drive up there this year.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL


At least you guys are backing out a month in advance this year.........lol

It never fails does it?

I was telling people last month that I wouldn't be able to make due to circumstances that I won't go into detail about here.

is it because of the possibility of surprise buttsecks?

cost of going out weighs what you get from the show.

yea i wont be making it this year either! ... i may shoot up for a day to hit the show the since i live like 1 hour away

wusses talking about gas, I plan on driving out from NM if I can get the engine in the 97 venge and get her running in time...

although I have to admit, if the venge is not running in time I am so using the gas prices excuse as damn I don't think I can afford to drive the dak there and back, we will see though as I really want to go so I may try that as well.

Not even a gas issue for me...assuming I take my CRX. I'm getting high 40/low 50mpg. I could probably get up there, ride in with someone, then drive back here on ALMOST a single tank of gas. Yes, be jealous, be VERY jealous :-P

Jack if you go i'll consider it. Jerms if you want "IF" i do go you can still room with me.

Thanks Dave..I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Gas? I do about 143 miles a day round trip for work. Do the math.
Bottom line, i like seeing you guys out there. Everyone is great to hang out with. I know $ can be tight and getting off work is hard but looking back, i had a blast meeting everyone.

Wow...Alot of people backing out....

well, I am for sure going now... not bringing the car or the dak, but I have plane tickets already and I will be there. So if you can make it would be good to see you, if not well... you know sometimes shit happens.
