The Unobtanium Crew will be there as usual, probably on the C row. Come by the booth for a FREE gift bag or ask my mom questions about my childhood.

I believe it's the weekend of April 21. One week after Easter. Hope the weather is as nice as last year...

Great. Anybody working on a build/restoration better stop by your booth and load up.

Speaking of booths, I'll do the group buy for spaces again if you guys are ok with it.

I love it when guys do this, it makes buying a lot easier when like minded guys group together. It also helps because when you walk into a booth everyone in it knows what the parts are, because they are all the same car guys.

We'll be there. I'm up for whatever everybody wants to do. I sure would like to do the Friday drive. If we can get our car done finally. If Mark can do the booth spaces that's great. I'll take 2.

" ask my mom questions about my childhood." That's a BIG mistake.

And no more Knight's Inn for me. You should have seen the room we had last year, right out of India, New Delhi probably and adjacent to the highway. You guy's remember that wonderful aroma from the farm directly behind after they put down their manure? No, I can't do it. I don't need the Park Avenue Hilton, but Jesus Christ, give me something without all the spiders, the noise, the stink, and a 7 year old mattress. No, I just can't.

The best deal is the Econo Lodge in Hershey, I prefer the Comfort Inn on Mae but it's a little more money. Knights Inn have always scared me a little bit.

I hope to go again. I agree that a better hotel would be nice.

That's one Hershey tradition I don't participate in. I stay at a place near the park. Clean and quiet.

I agree, I stay in a lot of hotels, and it doesn't cost that much to find something clean and decent. The Econo Lodge last year was $85 a night, and was decent.
My brother once saved $20 by staying in the Motel 5 instead of the Motel 6, no lie, there was a Motel 5. When he woke in the morning the sun was hitting the ceiling, and he saw the blood, guess they missed that on cleaning day.
Don't get cheap on hotels, bedbugs are real and all kinds of other horrors.

I'll be there. Had hoped to have the Ravenna green car re-sprayed and ready for Hershey this year, but life got in the way... Likely will be there in the silver car again this year, hopefully running on all four cylinders the entire weekend and no hotel parking lot carb work!

Looking forward to it. And Happy New Year to everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
