Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Hearing Things Who'll Bring the Potato Salad?

I call shotgun....and I'll bring monkey bread

Your place is on the way for me for a driving trip Ray. I would even have somewhere else I crash the night before, since the in laws are right around the corner from you.

OK, I've been staying out of this because it is a good drive, even from Iowa (can't complain too much since it isn't as far as Texas), but I guess I need to become more wild and crazy around here. I didn't get my name mentioned in BigJohn's list, man am I bummed... I think...

Sirquack, we could carpool. There is a guy in Altoona who let me listen to his Axioms right after I ordered mine. I wish I could remember his name. I don't think that he is on the board much anymore. I told him that I would invite him over when I got things set up, and I really want to hold up my end of the deal.

I can put people up in Toronto (or at the new house depending on timing) while they're not up at the picnic (eg. perhaps the first and/or last night), and can drive a few people up and back.

If the picnic is in Aug you can help me place and calibrate in the wacky triangular "HTIL" (Home Theater In a Loft).

There are a couple of weekends I already have booked, will try to dig up the dates tomorrow.

I'll make reservations at Johns now, before he has no vacancies. If ya need some help with the new house, I could get away for a few extra days.

Ray, I'm assuming it was a gross oversight on your part not listing my name among the outlanders. The offer makes the trip much more feasible. I've got quite a few miles logged on United, but even if I don't use frequent flier miles, a flight from SFO to ROC in mid-July -- when is this thing again??? -- is less than $400.

Amie, just PLEASE make it late enough in the summer to be past the mosquito & black fly infestations!!!

Yeah, I would say later is better too just to allow for the scheduling.

Hmmm . . . speaking of flies . . . Ian is suggesting the first weekend after Labor Day / Labour Day. No bugs, a lot less people up here and hotel rooms are about 1/2 the price of July . . . Would anyone be able to come that weekend?

That September date sounds great. Also opens up the opportunity for frequent flier miles (fewer traveleres, less blackouts). I like it.

Pete (he said sheepishly) you have a PM.
