Best time to arrive?

JimR · 10-25-2003, 10:33 PM

What time is everyone rolling into Birmingham on Friday? I know the old guys can't miss Jeopardy and the MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour, but this is directed at the majority of you conventiongoers.

If there are any specific things going on, I want to be on the same page. The suite is in my name, and I wanted to get there close to when my roommates arrive.

5PM?

Same here. I have a Geritol consultation at 8pm on Thursday night. But other than that, I'm free.

Big John · 10-26-2003, 10:41 AM

You better start getting some rest early, I'd hate to see you old tired guys get owned at the track event

I'll prolly be rollin in on Friday afternoon, Im about 4hrs from there... btw does anyone know about the "entertainment" on Friday night??

eric96ser · 10-26-2003, 05:15 PM

We have a meeting room reserved from 5pm until 11. We are planning of having a Halloween party around 5:30. After that, I'm sure most people will want to go out to dinner. Its hard to really plan anything on Friday, since people get into town at different times. At the party is were we will hand out the raffle tickets, picnic info, and other stuff. If you can't make it to the party, don't worry, I'll bring all the stuff with me to the track on Saturday.

Sorry. I'll be dancing in tube socks and short gym shorts. It's just as ugly.

Fosters · 10-28-2003, 08:32 AM

I'll probably be arriving about 7pm. Atleast one of my roommates will already be there (JimR).

Maybe someone should go to a Sam's Club and stock up on the Fibercon to keep the old guys regular.

Respect our elders!

Take lots of pics at the track event, for those who can't make it! (you bastards!

)

And post them on the board here!

Thanks,
James

James--

You forced me to drop the bomb: I am bringing all of my professional Nikon camera gear, and am shooting action pics of EVERY car at the track event.

Guys/gals can buy cheap 8x10s from me via website after the convention, with a percentage of every sale going back to SERCA.

So...you'll get a LOT of pics to look at, about 1 week afterwards.

paNX2K&SE-R · 10-28-2003, 10:12 AM

Awesome GP I've always wanted some good shots of my car on the track!

Excellent idea!! There are always lots of professional photographers at regional race events up here, and *everyone* always wants an action shot of themselves on the track. Too cool.

Yahnozha · 10-28-2003, 12:20 PM

Cool, Ill be bringing my new (to me) semi professional Canon D60 as well...Ill be shooting tons of photos as well.

Ill be looking to blackmail some people so look out!
