OH YEAH!! If I get the motor running strong, and the 4" narrowed adjustable drop beam replaced with an adjustable stock width beam, I'll be there. Though I may just trailer it...

And closer it is... 26 days and counting. The basic details are; the poker run is Friday night, open car show Saturday from 7:00-4:00, food and free live music after the show. We, my wife Jamie and I, prepare 3 meals a day with stuff to snack on too. The car show is held on Route 66 (a.k.a. Main St.) Which is three blocks from the house. So if you don't want to spend $5.00 for a Bologna sandwich, stand in the heat all day, or if the babies need a nap, the house is open.

There are Volksrodders from several states who make the journey for the weekend, I believe a few of the Tulsa crowd will be attending, and you are also invited to take a cruise down Old 66 and join us.

need any help with anything?

Honestly, we just need a head count... We have 1/2 a beef in the freezer, four extra beds (2 may be already spoken for) and the rest we'll buy once everyone shows up or we have a head count. Last year we planned on 75-100 people. We actually had 35 show up. We ate leftovers off paper plates for months...

We're just trying to avoid that again. We could use a tent/canopy if people plan to hang outside. Our 200 year old Red Oak died, so there is very minimal shade in the front yard. Other than that, I guess you can bring beverages and such. With the show and the entertainment being "public venues" alcohol is prohibited by law, but we drink and bull shit here at the house til the wee hours of the morning. Anyone not fit to drive will be asked to stay at our place for safety reasons.

Oh, and if you have a dent free nose for a '69 bus, you can bring that too. I crunched Jamie's while backing it into the bone yard for storage a couple years ago...

Im going, Oktoberfest is the next weekend, so all is good.

I have a 10x10 awning i will bring.

Sorry no bus nose.

So being to blitzed to drive a tent is in order?

[ray-dean]

Not at all. Depending on the number of people, last year we had 8 people (and us) staying here. Our house isn't HUGE, but it is decent sized. You can tent it if you want though. There is also a motel about 1/2 a mile away if'n ya would rather go that route.

[vdubjim]

sweet. whats the ballpark headcount so far?

[ray-dean]

So far we're looking at a couple Arkansas folks, some Texans, and a few other "local" guys. I don't have a head count from Tulsa or OkC at all. We're hoping for a big turnout, but who knows...


Seems no one can afford to travel this year.

[vdubjim]

i hope those of us here can affoard the tank o gas to make it.

[ray-dean]

Yep. That's what I'm thinking. See how many of y'all are gonna make the voyage.

[ray-dean]

One week, just seven days. Anyone planning on attending?

[vdubjim]

Whats the agenda for this "meeting" (I.E. whats happening on what day and at what time?) and where at in Bristow is all this taking place?

[ray-dean]

Friday night there is a poker run starting at 6:00 or 6:30. Saturday, Main Street is the car show. By that, I mean that they shut down Route 66, back the cars against the curb and have a show. That takes place from 7:00am to the awards which start at 4:00pm. Then 5 blocks west, at the city amphitheatre, there is a free concert from roughly 7:00pm until my fingers get tired or the law runs us off. And since out drummer is one of the local PD, we've never been run off.

Other than that, there are no times. It's more of a "do what you want, when you want" thing. I fucking hate schedules so I don't make them. Show up and have fun whenever YOU want to. Not when someone else says to.

[vdubjim]
