Default Pre CJ '08 Reports

Some people are starting to arrive, and the buzz is building.

I drove accross state this afternoon, and am presently ensconced in my room at the Embassy Suites sipping a Dogfish Head Indian Brown (just 1 - it's early), listening to some Dead, waiting till it's time to do the airport run for Voltron.

Made a few quick snaps of the joint so you all can be anticipating. 1st four are just the atrium that all the rooms overlook. Last one is my girl Ava in the bar.

Sorry to report that weather sucks - 85, sunny and clear, and expected to stay that way ... so boring. Stay tuned for reports of tonight's goings on at Brother Tuckers ...

delerium tremens varies greatly in it's quality based on how it's been taken care of. And tastes nothing like molson canadian

grawk, n_maher and The_Monkey, and all the rest of the CanJammers:

We are carrying on as best we can without you here. Life force draining, what's good for the few is not as good as what is good for the many. Or something like that. We need reinforcements. Agile_one and I are the only ones left standing and it is only 1:30 am local time. . . HELP, we need you!

And Dom, we are waiting if you want to swing by tonite, PM or call or something....
