    Alright Bitches! I headed out in a couple days to the U.P. When I was there last my wireless router didn't have service. Bought a new one but just in case I wanna get a couple things squared away.
    Exactly how many people are in our camping spot? Do I need to get another one? Querky said you could fit two good size tents in our spot. If needed I can call her and and see if I can get another one. I think its getting pretty booked up? I think I'm gonna book a night at that hotel for Thursday by the Presidents. I have no idea what page its on?? Is that cool?

    That works perfect for me; thanks for booking the hotel near the Presidents. I know me and my tent are pretty small, so I won't be taking up much room at the site.

    I'm in - I'm going, but not caravaning. :cry: It looks like I'm flying to Spokane with a 1-hour work stop in Idaho on the way to MT.

    If the caravan girls are getting a cabin, is there room for me and another girl to join (paying, obviously)? I would love to pile in with you if it works.
    I win.

    if not...will you have a car....and how many do you think we can fit in the trunk. Probably a small one, I would say less than 4 in the trunk. Unless more than one is unconcious.

    Perfect. Just tell everyone in the back to lay down and we'll be fine. If you had a cab on top it would be easy.

    Now I still need to find a f*ing ticket.
    I win.

    I don't drink before or during shows either (after is another issue entirely), so I suppose I could drive to the venue as well if we don't feel like fitting 30 people into one truck.

    Of course, after 1,600 miles of Dirty Franking it up to Montana, I may be a bit too loopy to do any driving at all ... :crazy:

    :lol:

    If everyone lays down you can fit at least 12 in the back - heavier people at the bottom. :lol:

    Just get them there and and I'll help cover suspension costs. I have a big truck and plan on kidnapping most of who you bring (and others) to enslave in my acid mines.

    except for back to back shows...81 is grumpy at 8am
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Depends on the speed limit and flow of traffic. I typically average about 10 mph above the speed limit, which I figure keeps me fairly safe from a ticket but still moves me along at a nice pace.
