    I would be up for touring. I need to check my work schedule.
    Is this date set in stone?
    Actually no Dave it is not set in stone. We are actually discussing changing the date because several people can't come because of Veisha and other activities. So I would like to get people opinions on changing the date to
    Saturday May 2nd??
    Bummer May 2nd not good for me but there is always next year.   Really, April 18th may not work either but its the best option for me.

    Sorry Joel, I don't think my tank will be ready by then. We just moved last weekend and still have a 3-car garage full of stuff that has to go into the house. After I get that done then I can start setting up a transition tank to prepare for the move.

    May 2nd, I'm in!!!
    Now I just wish I could go to VIESHA, I haven't been for some time.  Last time I was there I was driving a float down Lincoln Way at 3:00 AM with police in riot gear on all sides just to get to the parade.  I'll never forget driving the float home after the parade at 50 mph go get back to the month old kegs of green beer!  I thought I was in heaven, now I know I was[​IMG]

    Sorry...covered for 3 people that were out of the office last week...weeks like that make me wish I was hourly...92 hours in the office at hourly would have been tasty.

    May 2nd works fine for me.

    And what kind of dancing do you do Matt? Jazz.... Interpretative,...Tap?
    If you think of it, videotape it and put it on Youtube. Lots of dance fans in GIRS.
    Too Funny! The thought of me dancing scares even me. My daughter on the other hand is much better, lol.
    Matt, would you finally be able to attend an event if it were May 2nd? Ryan and Jeanette does this work for you?

    I think if the list of tanks to see is correct we should start by meeting at either Rustin or Tibbs on the westside. Austin I forget where your house is? Does it make sense to start at your place or Chris's? Chris lives by Jordan Creek.
    I would think maybe a good starting time would be 1PM unless more tanks into the picture. That should get us done at a reasonable time.
