I'm in for Thursday and Sunday fun. I'll even rent a van if there's enough folks needing that service.

I cannot wait to be drinking and hanging out on Friday while the CanJam crew is sweating bullets. I was hating on them in SJ because they wouldn't even stay in town and drink -- they had to go running around SF and Oakland and whatnot.

Hi JP, Stacy and I will be arriving at FLL at 8:01 pm. Is this too late to join you at BT? We can taxi it from FLL to there if somebody will store our (carry-on only) luggage in their car and give us a ride to the hotel from there (or at least eventually).

Edit: Just saw this. It works for us to the hotel. If you can pick us up too, that would be great but we understand if you can't as we are coming in somewhat late.

I will arrive Thurs afternoon, and will be staying till Monday. Anyone up for a post CanJam gathering on Sunday night to wind down from the big event?
Now that I look back at this thread and see that my so-called friends are planning events the night before I arrive, I see where Nate was coming from. In my case, I have not booked flights yet, so I may try to crash their little Brother Trucking party. Heck, if The Monkey is swinging in and my Heath is going to be there, I better get my act together. My wife will understand another day gone, right . . . ?

You could always take off for South Beach with Nate, Pete and Thrice and down some mojitos and see the floor show

All I can say is I understand. However, it was jps fault. Gene and I wanted to hang in San Jose and he dragged us from bar to bar in SF. Even when Gene and I tried to get away by hitchiking to San Jose, at the last minute jp jumped in the back of the pick up truck. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You are definately welcome we'll need to work out the transportation angle but we will just be getting warmed up by 8pm

Van services will be to and from Hotel to Brother Truckers, as those in attendance might not want to be driving later on.

It sure looks like you guys had a good time at BT's. I wonder where I was when you all were having all that fun.

Brother Tuckers...They have great beer.

And if you find a little critter walking around in your salad then your dinner is free!

Dealing with a broken AC, a sweating vendor and snoring issues...

Don't you love the ENERGY Justin throws off even when sitting quietly? When I was his age, . . .




Also, where is mfueger?! He hasn't posted since buying a Pico in December. We are using his pics from October but we have to get him and his Porsche down to CJ08 for sure! I will PM now. I think Polvodediamante is signed up, but I will check.

I took a look at the picture and started to doze off.
