I'll be there when the gates open on Saturday.

I'm still not sure, but if I do make it is there a rendezvous place and time set up yet?

I think everyone's planning to meet at the alcohol tent after the opening ceremony. I'm not sure what we do if there's more than one alcohol tent. Gates open at ten, opening ceremony is at noon.

Now that they're allowing booze, then they'll probably need a McGruff tent!

...Think they'll include a "Transient toss" along with the Caber toss??

:mrgreen:

I sure will miss the MCC site, as it was right across the street from my mom's apartment and I would combine a quick visit with a walk across the street to the event!

Hey Lady,

Whatcha doin' here??? Welcome.

And agree on the booze...jeez, I gotta either be a designated driver or a designated drunk. And don't think we could really have a "transient toss" been my experience in detox that they're much too slippery to get a good grip on....least I was...

Welcome B. Somm. MCC was my old stomping ground before I started at ASU; even after that. It's good to have you here...

Um, I don't drink, but I don't think I should be the designated driver. Just a little joke to RiverKilt

We're lucky enough to have someone coming along who is old enough to have a driver's license, but is too young to drink (can you say automatic designated driver?)

Good news! It looks like I'll be going after all. I'll be carpooling with another athlete I know and competing on Saturday.

We'll be driving in late Friday night, getting a hotel, then competing on Sunday in the B's. We'll have to leave right after so we can get home at a decent time, but come check us out.
I'll be competing in my Leatherneck SWK and I'll likely have my tan floppy hat on.
