From my count, the following people have expressed interest. Sounds like we have a pretty good group going. I put question marks beside the names that indicated that they are iffy:

itstim
1f1fan
SeanGAR
Scott M
floydp
ArlinLiss
magno
catfishm2
Ms. Floydp
rjacob507?
drc?
shatfield
uncle mikey

Which one of you guys from Richmond wants to coordinate things down there? 1f1fan? shatfield? ArlinLiss? catfishm2? Or are things already coordinated?

There shouldn't be too much to coordinate. I think we should plan on eating at Bailey's (or where ever we decide), that way Mikey doesn't have to worry about grilling out in case its still cold or rainy. So all we'll have to do is give the sports bar a heads up. I can take care of that if no one else wants to.

Anyone have any ideas of what time we're looking at? Afternoon, evening? Or Afternoon at Mikey's, evening at Bailey's?

[shelvingunit]

itstim - Thanks for updating the attendance list.

Sam, sounds good. I think it would be easier to grab some food at Bailey's so Mike doesn't have to work!

I know some folks are coming in from out of town and I'm not sure if they plan on staying or heading back that night.

So what time works for the out-of-towners? 1 PM 4 PM 6 PM??

[Ms. Floydp]

I can only speak for floydp (you guys have witnessed that already!! LOL) and myself, I guess we're a couple of hours away. We're going to stay the night there so anytime is good for us. We'll head up there Saturday morning, check into the hotel and then we're available for the duration!

We're going to stay at the Courtyard (or is there something as nice closer to where we're going?) so we'll need directions on where to go to first then we'll just follow everyone else.

[magno]

What's the Courtyard's address? I'm looking for a Marriot for the 12th to take advantage of my family perks, being that my wife's uncle works for Marriott. we just might be neighbours come March 12th.

Good choice, the Courtyard is not very far away.

[Ms. Floydp]

The address for the Marriot is:

3950 Westerre Pkwy

it's not far off of I-64 and that's how we'll be coming into Richmond. Would be really cool if a bunch of us from out of town stayed in the same hotel!! It's only $79 a night from Expedia.. that's not a bad price at all for the Marriot. Check in time is 3pm but I'm hoping that they'll let us check in a little earlier. If not, we'll check in after we've had smokes, drinks and food!! LOL We'll look like Linus walking in with all the cigar smoke on us!!

Maybe I can talk Frank into coming into Richmond on Friday!! heehee .. get some shopping time in there!!

I am planning on staying the night and it will be just me coming down, so I think it would be great to all stay at the same hotel. Starting early in the afternoon (1:00 should be good time...Should we just eat before we get together??) and then continuing into the evening sounds like a good plan. That way, people can stay as long as they want to. If they need to get back home they can leave earlier, or if they can't make it earlier in the day they can join us later on.

[uncle mikey]

I'm here at 7:30 AM each day so anytime you folks want to start walking in is fine with me. I'll have coffee ready. Should I pencil in the 12th? or is this now the set date? mb

I think you can go ahead and ink it in, looks like that's the most popular date for everyone.

Inked and ready. [SIZE=6]LETS HERF[/SIZE] mb

Woo hoo! My Chief Executive Officer (that would be my wife) has given me the green light. I won't be able to get on the road until about 1:00 or so. That means I won't arrive until about 3:00, or maybe later, depending on when I really get started and what kind of traffic I run into. I'm not planning to spend the night anywhere, so I'll be mostly pretty subdued (which basically means I won't be drinking very much so I won't kill myself on the ride home). Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Damn, that price is about the same as I'd get with the family discount.
