Ron and DES - makes no difference to me. If DES is at Crystal Cove Saturday morning, I can drive him to Pasadena. I can take him to a few car places in Laguna (Jim Busby and his Formula 1 garage) or to pull out my TR or Dino or C4. Or to take him to the beach to look at some other stuff. If he's not there, no problem. What ever you guys are comfortable with.

Marion loves those Fruit Martinis. Gets a little tipsy, Byron sure knows from last time South beach :-)

Hey DES only 16 hours for me.....

Frank Lipinski is hopefully on his way. I left him a message on his cell and hope he calls me so we can hook up.

Take off is a blast! Especially if you are at an airport with a short runway and a heavier plane...thats when the pilots might use close to full power for take off and THATS fun! Otherwise they usually take off with about ~90%power. DES, what airline and flight number are you comming on? Ill track your flight from New York to here listening to the Air Traffic guys and I can view your approach on my computer :-)

In approximately 25 hours, i'll be sitting on the plane, waiting for it to take off... My favorite part about being on a plane is take-off, before it gets off the ground; you can feel the speed... LOL, i'm such a junkie...

All who are interested. Fruiti Martini's, shots, and beer bongs before going to HOB 8:30-9pm in Westwood. Me and my girlfriend will be pouring so all you need is to bring your liver. and let me know that you will be there.
I know Byron, and Sunny will be there.

DES, we were probably typing our replies at the same time. No problem on my end with being flexible until the last minute. It's no inconvenience for me, either way. I look forward to seeing you Friday night.

You'll already be at the HOB when I get there. See you inside.

Byron, sounds good... i concur with regards to spontaneous decisions...

On the same token, being that i was initially scheduled to stay with you, Ron - is it an inconvenience for me to ask you to wait 'til Friday for me to decide what i'm doing...? My biggest concern is inconveniencing someone- the last thing i want to do.

DES, it's not a schedule thing. It's simply a choice. You have two options (actually probably a lot of options) but for now just consider these two.

A. Stay at my house on Friday night, sleep a bit later, my wife and I will take you to the noon gathering, then on to LV.

B. Stay with Byron in Orange County. Get up at the crack of dawn (almost) and go to the gathering in Crystal Cove. Actually, I would love to go there myself sometime, but can't see it happening in the near future due to the distance. Then go to the noon party and on to LV.

The only reason to consider it before Friday night is that Jordan volunteered to pick you up at Byron's and take you to the "show" and Jim Selevan volunteered to take you to Pasadena in his Boxer. They would probably have to know about it before 2 am Sat morning.

I'm half way through the other thread. A lot has been added since I first checked it out. It's pretty interesting.

Ron - at the risk of upsetting other schedules, i've left myself at the complete mercy of the majority; whatever everyone else wants to do is fine with me... Last thing i want is people rearranging their schedules for me... Whatever's easiest for everyone else is good for me.

DES, thanks for the link. I remember reading the thread in its infancy. I just didn't make the connection to that girl. I'll go and take another look at it.

BTW keep your eyes open this weekend. :-)

p.s. have you decided if you want to try to make the 7:30 am car gathering at Crystal Cove on Saturday morning? If so you'll want to crash at Byron's on Friday night. There is no way you could make it from my house (at least 2 hours away) that early after a late night on Friday and the time change.

Ron, here it is... Although, she's not a "friend" - i haven't seen her since and didn't even get her name... Ron, my friend... When i tell you she was the most beautiful woman i've ever seen, i'm not kidding...

The thread, itself, is actually quite amusing once everyone started replying...

DES, I read in another thread a comment about if you don't hook up with the girl you just met, etc etc.

Can you give me a link to the thread where you discuss your new "friend". It should be fascinating reading.

See you, Tom and Martin on Friday.

LOL, Dom...! Actually, around the time Matt first brought my going out there, i was in a different, heated political debate in Off Topic everyday and i thought, "Oh, great, some right-wing militia group is trying to lure me out to California so they can hold me hostage ad brainwash me..." (no, i'm not paranoid!:-))

Needless to say, that's not the case... Moreso than the Ferraris, though, i'm looking forward to meeting all the people who made this possible and all the people who are welcoming me in their beautiful country (yes, California is a country, not a state...:-))

You know what would be funny? If DES flew all the way out here, and found out that none of us had a real ferrari.

We could all show up at the airport in our Fiero's.

Sorry- It's a bad day at work, and it's only 9:30 AM...
