| | I already paid so I can use the $10 on other stuff. As you I hope we don't lose our hotel reservations. Maybe I should bring a tent, sleeping bag, etc......... Or make other arrangments. Long Live 32mm | |

| Dave,
Your Winky Dinkyt suits you just fine. Why change it. Have fun at DH. Wish I could go along but family health issues prevent this year.

| Noel, dealing with health issues, self or family, is never any fun. I didn't get to diamondhead '08, but I did make it to the previous one ("'06-'07", first post Katrina). I had a great time at the steamup but was disappointed with the way the hotel handled the reservations (had to stay off site). This was ABSOLUTLEY NO FAULT of Jerry's. He puts on a GREAT show. To me, a great part of the attraction of Diamondhead is the ability to get up at any hour of the day or night and boil some water or watch something running around the track. Whether I take advantage of it or not, is yet to be seen. I plan on taking 45mm, 32mm and something pushed with a propeller to enable me to be flexable. | |

Carl, there are four of us planning on driving straight thru in a conversion van pulling a small trailer (depending on how much stuff Dan brings, maybe a big trailer).  We're going to try and leave fairly early, but fairly early means different things to different folks, so, we'll see..... | |
