Waddy, I'd love to!
Except, of course, for the small problem of me flying over your head at something like 500 MPH a dozen or so hours before this starts.

Next time maybe?

Bump for the morning gang.
There will also be the Lamborghini Polo Classic, and a Lamborghini tailgating party.
All events are free with a donation to the Wounded Warriors Project.

I'd love to make this GTG but I'm booked everyday that week with photo shoots. Sunday the 13th is scheduled as an 'add-on' day if needed. So if I get it all done on Saturday I might be able to make it on Sunday, but I won't know until the evening before.

Oh... I thought the same.
Turns out that I'll be flying over your head shortly after this starts, rather than before. :-\ |

Does this mean we may actually meet?!?! Lol.
I am still trying to figure out if I will be able to go or not. Soon enough I will put my name in for sure whether I will be able to or not. |

Not in the least.
One would think they would be a vegetarian's delight considering the number of herbs they contain. :O)

I'm still planning to go on Saturday early morning. Should we plan a meeting place and time. I imagine it will be very hard to find each other. |

We just need MelonMusketeer to put his monopod up as the location marker :)
But in all seriousness, does anyone know the area and/or any good places to meet up?

I have been asked to play drums at a benefit for one of my friends that has neck cancer Saturday from 11-3, I will try to make it over for the evening "glow" thing Sat. If I can't be there Sat PM, then I will try to make the whole day Sunday, or maybe do both. One of my friends lives at Wellington and has a spare bedroom so I may be able to spend the night there Sat.
Yes, I will be bringing the picture stick/ monopod. I want to get a shot of the burner firing from inside one of the balloons with it.
