So this means we all need to coordinate and meet before we roll in on friday afternoon. I get off work at 3pm so tell me where to meet.

Maybe we should meet in the Office Depot parking lot at the corner of 14th and I85s.

•Take the 10th, Techwood, 14th & 17th exit on 85s,
•Veer left at the 17th bridge split,
•Stay straight until your 1st stoplight (14th St.)

Take a right onto 14th St, and immediately turn into the shopping center with the CVS. Office Depot is at the end, and there's a decent sized parking lot in the back we can all convene in.

It's on the way to the venue, and easily accessible to and from the highway... so that's my suggestion. Any other suggestions would definitely be great!

Sound good?

i've got to do some stuff with my uncle Friday night, but I'll be there for the show Saturday night.
And I'll drop the banner off at Cody's tonight.
*I gave Cody some dM Seal stickers for whoever is interested.

Awesome! I can't wait to see it!!
Rad about the stickers too! That ROCKS!!!
Thanks, yo!

i should be able to meet at the office depot too as far as i know. it's looking like i'll be free from work all day and i think our tuning session is from 9:00 - 1:00, so anytime after 2:00 or 3:00 should also be alright with me (need a little bit of time to make a quick attempt at cleaning it).
any of you d-wood folks wanna roll down there together?

I'd love to roll down... I'll be down in Atlanta at that point. I gotta run into work for a li'l bit. I think I'm going to take my car to get it detailed tomorrow... I just don't have any time left!

jesus!!!! i just saw that it cost $25 to get in! my poor wallet

istill have room in my car. and we have an extra car spot too i guess

You can ride with someone and split the registration cost with them...
That would drop it to $21.
Not a whopping difference... but every li'l bit helps!

yea, i really need to attempt to get my car clean too but i'm not sure how well that'll happen. guess i'll just see what i can do on my own in like 2 hours tomorrow before or after tuning.

Is that high for you guys? $20-25 is the average here.

I don't think it's particularly high. It's only $50 to enter which isn't bad compared to NopiNats. I think ImportXpression a coupla years back was at the same venue that HIN is, and it was $18... and it was about 1/8th the carshow.

I know why Andy wants to meet in that parking lot. So we can all see the real-life effects of those ten minute long voicemail messages.

fuck i don't know how i'm going to burn off that much gas by tomorrow.
