Apologies
 

I'm afraid I'm going to miss this one. I have just confirmed that I will be in Dubai that weekend, leaving following Monday for Almaty, Kazakhstan. It's for a good cause. I am involved in the utility infrastructure master planning for the Dubai Waterfront Development, a new mixed use development that will ultimately house 1.8 million people. Cogeneration, waste to energy plants, district chilled water service, distributed photovoltaics, etc. Project in Kazahkstan is much more pedestrian, a 1.4 msf office complex, but, hey, it keeps food on the table. Will I make Continental Platinum by July 1 this year?

I have a reservation at the hotel for Saturday night only. If anyone is interested in taking it over, PM me. I will cancel it this coming Saturday afternoon.

I'm sorry I won't get to see you all. Last year was my first Reading, and I really enjoyed it. Cut a do-nut in the parking lot and drink a beer for me.

Hope to be able to meet you one day.

What no play or concert to go to this year. That's shocking! Maybe you just don't think you'll be able to drive home after a 3 second wooping in the 1/4 mile.:D

Sorry to hear you'll be in the mid east for reading Dan, you'll be missed, although maybe if the weather stays the way its been we'll all be wishing we were basking in the sun of Dubai with ya!! Kaz., not so much!:D

Sorry to hear it Dan and safe trip for you.

You are not going to make it??

I am really sorry I won't be able to make it this year. I met a lot of on-line friends at the last meet. It's great to put faces on the avatars. I hope I and the rest of you will be around for next year. Anyway, I though I would post a few pictures of my last trip to Dubai.
