Misc. Ramblings

LarryIII · #1 04-27-2002, 06:59 AM

We now have 149 SVXers signed-up for this meet. Thanks Colin & Zack.

BLACKSVX92- You are not signed up. Send me an e-mail with the needed info.

I just sent a DP check to the Banquet Facilities. I am planning a buffet style meal for approx 200 people. You get more for the money. I will be discussing menues with them next week. It looks like the price will be approx. $15-$18 per person. Booze will be extra. I am leaning toward soft drinks. It is about 5 miles from the main motel and I want everyone to get back in one piece. COMMENTS PLEASE.

IF ANYONE NEEDS SPECIAL MEALS (VEGETARIAN, KOSHER, LACTOSE FREE, ETC. ) SEND ME AN E-MAIL WITH YOUR NEEDS.

I need help from the SVXers of Lafayette to plan and lead driving tours. Tours should last 2 hrs. max. Please have printed directions with map (I learned that the hard way from the Covered Bridge Tour in Reading) to hand out. Thanks Suby-QA, Pat H., etc. I also need the locales to get in touch with the local Chamber of Commerce and newspapers for publicity.

IMPORTANT: I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY PLAN ON TAKING THE SIAPLANT TOUR ON MODAY 7/22/02. THERE IS LIMITED SPACE. SEND ME AN E-MAIL. FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.

I have a general map of the area with points of interest thanks to Pat Circle from Homeward Suites. . I have no scanner , but can mail it to someone who can get it posted. Send me an e-mail.

I also will urge everyone to register at one of the main hotels early. I did guarantee them 50 rooms on my credit card. Don't put me in debtor's prison people,

That's all for now. Keep watching this site for further news.

Larry III,

is there an updated signup list showing everyone who has signed up so far?

Also is there an online list of the people signed up for the SIA plant tour?

LarryIII · #9 05-15-2002, 05:03 AM

Earthworn,

Both the updated Sign-Up List and Plant Tour List are on a floppy in my briefcase on the desk behind me, right now. I'll try to update the lisis this weekend . They will be in my locker on this site and in my briefcase on the Yahoo SVX Club site. The Yahoo site is really begining to tick me off. I frequent it less and less. That really makes me sad and at the same time I feel angry because of what Yahoo did to it. When it had the old format, I had all the advantages. It had ease of operation and if I needed to find a tech. post I could swing over to this site. Alas all that's gone. I guess I just am being nostalgic and yearning for the 'good ole days'.

I hear ya, Larry. I have the fondest memories of wisecracks from Unkle Worn and having "Toyo Proxes" as a two-word response to "what kind of tires should I buy?" I also miss the "early blondeman," "Marty Feldman stories" and sparring with the occasional "newbie with an attitude." Those were the good ol' days. *TOOT TOOT*

LarryIII · #11 05-15-2002, 07:44 PM

Randy,

In addition, I rembember some zebra striped fur and some bits of blue bathrobe chenile flying around the old Yahoo site.

It was so great, it was Tooopid !!!

Larry III (or to be really nostalgic ) Larry iii

or

At the West Point NY SVX Frank not only yelled TOYO PROXES, he also brought about a dozen cannoli up from "Da City".

richeich · #12 05-15-2002, 09:05 PM

Did anybody ever figure out what happened to Frank? I miss him.

Rich,
Larry sent me an e-mail some time ago. Frank had just gotten back from an extended vacation in Florence, Italy. Apparently he got out of the habit of visiting Yahoo, and doesn't post any more. I'm sure Larry can tell you more.

Oh, and be sure to check the air in the tires when they're hot . . . no, cold . . . no, hot . . . no cold . . .

LarryIII · #14 05-16-2002, 04:50 AM

Rich,

In honor of Frank ........

TOYO PROXES !!!!!!!

Actually, that was the last big go-round that I remember before he disappeared, and always wondered if he had gotten so mad he never came back.

Glad to know he's okay.
