Who is attending mviii from the southern marauders?

[CWright]

I know this has been discussed at some of our meets but trying to nail down plans for heading up. Right now I am scheduled to head up on Wed to Charlotte and stay til Sunday. I have been seriously thinking of waiting til Thursday to go up. Some have mentioned they were going up but maybe not til Friday and come back Saturday. I may wait and go up with everyone else and save some money on the room. Just wanted to check to see who from the group is planning on heading that way and when?

CDUB!:beer:

I will not be going - Will be in Orlando for the week. Have a great time.

Chris- If I go, it will probably be up Friday early am, and possibly coming back the same day. Unless Friday nite pops off in a big way..... I have not really investigated the schedule of events tho, so this could change to up Thurs. evening, back Saturday am or sumthin like that...... Sorry to be so indecisive. Will know better as we get closer to the event.:beer:

Awesome! Does it look like there is pretty good crowd coming in Wed? I noticed on the Hotel reg board that more rooms had to be blocked off for Wed night. Looking forward to meeting everyone!:beer:

Looks like quite a few folks will be coming in Wed. evening. Nothing formal planned, but there's lots to do in the area, heck I may take a ride over to Quaker Steak for some wings and a Lube Tube. :beer:

I thought I was going, but my wife's family will be in town, so it is a no go.
