Jugsy and Valli are gonna be there this year?! Why do I have to be so poor!!! :cry:

I guess I'm gonna need a counterfeit pass and I guess I need to start walking now... I'll have to leave Mynka a note that says ,"sorry...but someone has to watch the kiddies." :lol:

Hopefully 2008 will see us again!

Oooo . . . ten days to go . . .

After having replaced the fan, fan clutch, and the vacuum modulator valve, had the cap on a vacuum hose blow off and result in an unnecessary tow, multiple inspections by mechanic relatives, much pleading with and many promises made to the truck if only it would make it over the next hill, to the next town . . . well, we're going to make it the remainin 1400 miles, darnit. We just have to. Any luck sent our way would be appreciated. :)

As a heads up:

Atlanta and the surrounding areas have been hotter than normal. It hit 100 degrees Fareignheit 10 days in the last 2 weeks there. That's a little hotter than normal for them for this time of year from what I understand.

So a couple quick tips for in Atlanta:

Dress light, very light clothing.

Stay hydrated during the day. Seriously, drink water as much as possible and not quite so much alcohol during the day. Carry a bottle of water with you. The hotels are pretty good about having water out and available for drinking.

Yeah, I predict this will be something of a repeat from last year. Loose & light clothing will be a must.

I'll take your word for it. Atlanta is pretty far south so I already expected it to be hot. :)

It's the humidity that's destructive, too. Atlanta's so humid you don't sweat, you condensate. :P

I found my nicotine inhaler and a ton of cartridges. Less required smoke breaks during con hours. Sweet.
