Hmmmm. It's a bit of a drive, but it's also the day after my birthday. I might have to go up there to celebrate.

Hmmm, I'm planning a cruise to Bermuda about that time, but if I don't do that you can be sure I'll be there.

Will you be sailing on the Hooters Line?

No, they don't have a cruise line yet.

I have heard that the Hotel San Remo in Las Vegas is changing to the Hooters Casino and Hotel, in February I think.8-)

I'll either be taking Royal Caribbean or Norwegian out of either Baltimore or Philadelphia. That way I won't have any airfare.:smile:

Sounds like a great time. Will Xmarks have a tent there? It would be nice if all of us in close proximity to the event could set a locale to meet up. It is a couple of hours away from home but well worth the drive.

Let's see how many of us from the area can get together!!!!!

An XMarks table sounds like a great idea. I'm also trying to find out if my clan has a table.

What clan is that? The clan letters go out this week. We usually have around 20 to 30 clans.

Do you know why no dogs? My buddy has a problem walking but have the leashed hound pulling him help fight gravity. Does that count as a service dog?

All we have been told by the Urbana Fire department, which owns the grounds, is that only service animals can be permitted. It is their rule. All I can suggest is contact the Fire Hall and ask. I don't have a number for them. It is almost impossible to get anyone on the phone there, so most of the time when we need to talk to someone, we just walk in. Just get on North 355 and the Fire Hall and grounds is right next to the Urbana Elementary School.
