but October should be something we can do
October 3-6 is good for us. We are having a 3rd grandbaby plus a wedding in the family in September so MAM Funfest/XLR BobFest is out for us
May I add here that if any of you reading this that has not joined in on any of the 'group gatherings' that you MUST make either (or both) of these events: you will be welcomed as a friend!
Well the big question is who is in that 'Neck-of-the-Woods' that can organize this: figure out hotels, other things to see and do as a group etc. Many things can be sorted by phone and internet but to actually check out acomodations to be sure they are nice with great parking that is well illuminated etc. I am currently in Florida and headinghome next weekend and I was going to head west so I could stop by and see the XLR Brick on the way home but now I am likely headed east to East Pennsylvania to check out a classic car collection for sale and doing both would add 6 more hours of driving to our trip home.
SO: do we have some one in that area? If not, has anyone stayed in that area, their opinions on their accomodations, restaurants etc?
Here are some things that I can think of - that we would probably need assistance on for the weekend:
Getting a block of rooms from a local hotel (special discounted rate)
Coming up with an event "logo"
Dash Plaque (designing, ordering, etc....)
Tshirts or Polo Shirts for the event
Putting together an itinerary (dinner plans, possible Plant Tours, guest
speakers for "inside" info about the birth of the XLR, etc....)
Trasportation between hotel and museum (for those that are leaving their
XLR's in the museum during the event)
campaign to get people to attend (advertising or something I guess)
... just to name a few things off the top of my head... anything else you can think of Bruce? Feel free to edit them in.
