Does that mean we should save you a front row seat??  ;)

Nani didn't mention she will again be the Master of Ceremonies, which is impressive all by itself  :)

Continued succes to you all...

Thank you, Terry!!! Your donations are always much appreciated.  :-*

Oh, Jackie... I'm gonna keep my hopes high! I won't be able to make it to Dallas, so seeing you in Atlanta would be a real treat!!!

And, Elaine, in case you're reading this... we can try to meet up again....

I just need an address to send the items. Also my best friend Dave will be donating again this year. We already have a couple of cars that just need the "ClusterBuster deacls on and clear-coated and they will be there . Terry (the builder)

Cool!


I won't be going to Dallas in July - grandbaby due and my daughter would kill me if I missed the birth.  

Atlanta in October just might work.

With the promotion and all, I'm hoping that I'll be settled in and up to speed enough to make it.  

There is no possible way to make Dallas, way too soon after the transition, but October should be easier.  It will depend on the rates for flights.  Pencil me in Nani and Bob.

Buddy said he will be up by the motel Tomorrow he will check it out and see if there is a place for your semi ! Its not right in Atlanta. its close to the airport. I am sure if you show up we will find a place for your truck.

Gimme Driving room! Close to home and wouldn't miss it.

I'm currently in the process of selling my far too big house but if it doesn't move in the next month (when it will go off the market) I can provide free lodging if someone/s needs it. About 35 mins north of where the convention will be taking place.

Great to see everyone here that is hoping/planning on making it.  :)

We should be able to release more info pretty soon.

Thanks to Buddy for doing some surveillance.

Looking forward to a great conference.

Anyone willing to split the cost of a room?  I'm hoping I can lock in those vacation days very soon before the cost of airfair goes up again.  If someone is willing to split the cost of a room for T-F-S-S nights I'm as close to "there" as I can get.

Have you learned your way around Atlanta yet?
If not, I suggest you start looking for the hotel now, you should find it by October.   ;)

Can't wait to see you again, boo.   :-*

how big is your driveway??? ;D

Title: Re: Third Annual Clusterbusters Conference
Post by notseinfeld on Jun 13th, 2008 at 6:54pm
Driveway big enough to accommodate an RV, no kiddin'. There's a lower drive that's been made for a boat and heavily treed thus an ideal spot for yer rig.

I'll know soon about the house status and will report back.

Also Nani, gonna getcha!

Johnny, no trucks allowed there unless you stay at the motel.
Now you can park behind my daughters office, its about 15 minutes from there and we could pick you up. It being on the week end parking your truck there would be no problem. I sent you a PM.

We're getting close folks.

Just a month away. If you are planning on attending, please be advised that the room rates are being held until the 15th of September. Please book your room(s) before that time. Rooms will be available after that date but I can't quarantee the conference price breaks after that.
Online registration is linked from the conference page:

If you are planning on attending but won't be registering for rooms before that date, or registering with Clusterbusters until later, please let me know as soon as possible so we can get an accurate count for meals, etc.

Thanks...
See you soon!!!  :)
Bobw
