Oshkosh questions

No, Gail and I can't spend ten days away from the business, and I have this
little EAA meeting/election on Saturday morning that I have to attend.

We aren't getting to the gig until Wednesday, and aren't planning on a dorm
party this year, so Wednesday night will be just fine. We'll miss your pool
party, but Gail wants to stop by your place on the way home, Saturday night
if the weather gods smile on us. Got an open room?

Jim, remember Oshkosh starts on Monday this year.

Jay, how is this gonna affect your pool party?

Our fly-in pool party will be on Saturday (rather than Sunday) this year,
to allow everyone to arrive in OSH one day early, as prescribed by both
tradition and common sense.

The rec.aviation party at our campsite will still be on Wednesday though,
methinks. Or does that interfere with your other parties, Jim?
Montblack?

The other option is to find a BBQ company in the area and order
the pig. They'll deliver it (with all the fixins) at the time
and location you request. No one needs to babysit. No one needs
to cook.

The only requirements a
1) someone to act as coordinator for dinner reservations and take the money
IN ADVANCE so no one gets stuck for the bill
2) someone to take care of the logistics of finding the BBQ company,
making the order
3) someone to either go fetch to goodies or be someplace where the
company can deliver

It's not difficult. Check out the Bo group last year at

Wednesday it is, then!

Oh, I'll bet we do. We FINALLY have live, on-line booking now, so you can
actually check availability LIVE at our website, www.AlexisParkInn.com

Don't book there, though. As I've told everyone 100 times, you'll ALWAYS
get a better deal talking to the hotel owner than you will at
"Travelocity"... Just give me a buzz, or drop me an email!

Now Blanche, you're messing with the male instinct to kill and cook
dead animals. It's ultimately up to Jim and Montblack (who, after all,
are the only ones here who can haul grills into OSH), but I personally
prefer home cookin'!

You coming this year, Blanche?

As a native Wisconsinite, I'd have to agree about the cheese...slices of
cheese on a warm day just don't seem appetitzing to me.
Other snack foods, crackers (ritz!), sausage slices, chips, etc are good
though.

Amen, brother! I wanna know where my pig has been!

The goal is not the destination, but the journey to it.

At OSH, I'm more interested in when and where we're having dinner than
who's driving.

Agreed. After walking all day in the (fill in the blank):

(a) Blazing sun
(b) Pouring rain
(c) Cold wind
(d) All of the above (often within a few hours)

All I want is:

(a) Cold beer
(b) Good food
(c) A great bunch of people

Luckily, OSH provides all three in abundance!

Hey Jim...Yep, I'd be coming from Sacramento. The big issue for me is
buying a plane this year. I know, not an acceptable excuse since we are
talking about Oshkosh...but...splitting the rental bill two or three
ways does add up. Still got a couple more months to score a plane
though. Have the partners, have the cash, know what we want...now, we
just need to find that the Arrow with our name on it.

If I do manage to be an Arrow co-owner before Oshkosh and the dates work
out, a little convoy would be fun. I'd love to make it to Jay and
Mary's pool party. I'd probably stay for the entire week.

Hey, you might be able to help me out on the airplane front. In your
travels, if you see any Arrows for sale, drop me an e-mail. We'd love
to find one locally rather than go out of state. Looked at a real nice
one in Auburn, even made an offer but the owner doesn't want to deal so
we're still looking.

The only problem is that our trip seems to be a moving target. First we
were going to get there on Monday after Jay's party on Sunday, but Jay moved
it back to Saturday and that made it just one day over our absolute limit.

Right now the plan is to depart NoCal early Monday and hope to arrive
Oshkosh early Wednesday. Forums Thursday and Friday, EAA Annual Meeting on
Saturday, and depart noonish Saturday, home on Monday.
