So here's the rough plan for Dixie Krieg:

Friday, Oct 7th

@9am - Depart from Baton Rouge
@10am - Stop in Hammond to pick up passengers, if necessary.
@1pm - Stop for lunch, if desired.
@8pm - Arrive at Best Western Seminole Inn 6737 Mahan Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32308 and check in.

Saturday, Oct 8th

@12pm - Show up at Jack L Morris American Karate Studios, 4500 W Shannon Lakes Dr, Tallahassee, FL 32309 for Dixie Krieg, Day 1.

Sunday, Oct 9th

@8:30am - Show up at Jack L Morris American Karate Studios for Dixie Krieg, Day 2.
@4pm - Take off for home.

Monday, Oct 9th
@2am - Arrive in BR

We've got one hotel room booked for general Ordo use and Vic will be getting a second room that he may or may not decide to open up for folks who beg sufficiently.

You'll need to bring money to pitch in for gas, money for food ($50 a day should be sufficient), and a $20 donation to get into the event. It will probably be a good idea to bring pillows, sleeping bags, and/or sheets as well.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns, please let me know.

Leave from work approved today.

SWEET

Bad news....I waited too long to book the room. Now they are sold out. Nearby hotels are either sold out or going for $200+ per night. (homecoming football game that weekend). I know I could shackup in the Ordo hotel room, but I rest so much better in my own bed where I can be the lone snorer.

I wasn't jazzed about coming back at 2am in town. So, I looked at flying, or getting another night there, or another night somewhere in between. This means driving back by myself. So either a rental car, or the Celica and duct tape. Things started adding up and getting complex, so I just dropped it.

I already paid $20 (as the prior 2 years), so that donation can be used by someone in Ordo that needs it.

I'm still watching for hotel deals, just in case. But, it's kinda doubtful.

Seth is coming and no one can compete with his snore. I don.t anybody is really worried about it. If that.s. All that.s stoppin you, I for one would rather have you ther just cause it would increase the awesomness of the trip.
