Thanks, guys. I've never had a bad time with a Skybox member and was looking forward to this get together.
I will be flying in on Saturday. Assuming the connection is on schedule, I will be landing in KC around 11:30 AM. I'll be staying near the airport. It would be a good idea for me to have cell phone numbers so I can make connections on Saturday afternoon. How about if we exchange numbers via email? I'll send one email to AJ, TOK, Gipper, Bobda, Bill, and Stu. I think that's it, but if I've missed someone, let me know.
We are leaving tomorrow morning and will visit a cousin in Lexington for the weekend before arriving in KC Monday evening. I think most of us have exchanged cell phones. If we want to tailgate I could get some supplies if we could come up with a list. A serious list of course.
AJ, My class just cancelled. Cindy is determining if she can move a few meetings. We may be back on if you haven't done anything with our tickets. I have found a hotel at the Drury Inn Shawnee Mission (14 miles from stadium) and placed a hold on it.
Just heard back from Cindy. All roadblocks have been lifted. We will be there. I am going to send out a message to all that are listed as going with our cell phone numbers.
BT... tell the wife you're going out for a pack of smokes and return two days later! What are the plans guys? First meeting at what time and what place???
Last time I tried that it didn't work out so well......if I was going to have such a prolonged period of celibacy, I might as well become a priest!
I'll be arriving at 2:30 on Friday and stayng at a Holiday Inn Express about 10 miles east of the stadium. My guess is my motel is probably owed by the same guy who owed the motel JoCo used to stay at when visiting South Bend.
Or the dump TOK and I stayed in where my wallet got stolen....hey, at least they had entertainment next door. :shock: OK...here's the geography...looks like we're pretty spread out. Drury at the Stadium Complex - Stu and TOK Marriott near the Stadium - Gip Holiday Inn W. - Bobda Somewhere near Airport - Sid Drury Shawnee Mission - Tom & Cindy His sister's house - Bill & Mrs. AJ's tribe - ? Sounds like we could meet just about anywhere and somebody (most of us?) is going to have to travel. I know absolutely nothing about KC so will be no help in picking a place.
Just a warning if Bobda arrives with a brown paper bag and hands it to you as a gift, decline and run!!!
Shawnee Mission is actually Southwest of the Stadium by about 14 miles. It is actually in Kansas. We do not mind traveling and since we are all going to the Stadium on Saturday, it would make sense to make the area around the stadium the meeting place.
My plane is scheduled to land in KC at 11:15 AM Saturday. I will call around to see what plans everyone has for getting together. I'll have a rental car, so I can transport folks if necessary.
