In for pics of the trip. Looking forward to meeting you guys.

Wouldn't it be awesome if most, if not all of us, from the north could meet up with everyone traveling from the sourh at Richmond to make the trip in?

It would be cool. But, I'm heading straight to the Hotel, not Dane's. Maybe those of us staying at the hotel can ride over to Dane's together?
-
^ Good idea Ryan. We're headed to get Horney (Justin) and then to the hotel. Going to find a carwash, a liquor store (if time allows) then hit Dane's around 5:00 :)
-
Sounds about like my plans. I'm bringing some waterless car wash and plan on cleaning the car up in the hotel parking lot. It can do 5-6 cars (it says) and you and anyone else is free to use it if you want. Also, I wonder if the hotel has a water spigot, I'll bring a hose! Then cleaning myself up, then it should be about time to head to Dane's. Btw, what liquor are you planning on picking up? I don't want to drink too much so I'd be happy throw in on a bottle of something if you'll share.
-
I'm not really sure if I want beer or if I'm going all in. If its liquor (which it most likely will be) then Vodka or Rum with a Calorie Free mixer is most likely my choice, so which ever you prefer. I have very very limited space in the 135 as the trunk is teeeny tiny, and I'm trying to pack lightly and then stop for booze and things when I get there. Horney gets the backseat for him and his gear, and he's tallll, this will be interesting. I don't mind sitting in my own back seat if I have to. I will take you up on the waterless car wash though, not having luck finding a do-it-yourself car wash near the hotel.
-
I prefer Vodka, personally, but Rum's fine too. Either way it's not a big deal. We can work it out at the Hotel.
Justin in the back seat of a 135!?!? Take pictures! I've sat in the back of a 135 and was "ok", but Kyle, who is ~5'7" was cramped.
-
There is a new carwash around the corner from Danes, google map- colonial carwash.
I like Captain Morgans if you two would want to go in thirds on that, and I would also pick it up as a bonus.

Ryan, would you want to meet up in Durham for the drive up?
