I've missed the last two years and will probably miss this year, but come 2009, it is on like something or other.

I screwed up and got the hotel reservations for week 2 when trying for week 1.

I need to attend calendar reading 101.

Week 2 is target for Aldebutante debut.. and in terms of a more sedate Spa, think it would be better for the '2nd Annual DT Drunkfest Weekend' than Opening Weekend...

Brilliant scheduling by me...

Should be fun. Mrs. Bigs and I (no kids), staying downtown Toga for the first time. Look out.

Wow! That sounds great.

The good news... I rented a house with a bunch of knuckleheads (and DT partners) for week 2 of the meet.

The bad news... I put up the security deposit...

While you will be allowed to buy in for the 1k, you would be doing it as an investor, thus you are investing in the executors decisions.....

Travers weekend is too busy and too expensive. I always get so frustrated that weekend for some reason!
