2009 Land Speed NW Reunion

[Seldom Seen Slim]

It's time to start planning your visit to Portland, Oregon, for the Northwest Reunion that Freud puts on for us each year.  This coming February the gala celebration will be the 21st of February.  Freud will sooner or later fill in the details -- like the name of the motel where it'll take place and all that stuff.   (Dr. F, this is your chance!)

I made our plane reservations today.  We'll arrive Thursday evening and fly out Monday mid-day, giving us enough time for not only the bench racing and other stuff - but also a visit with a chum of Nancy's (from her high school days).

As I remember - the seating at the Reunion is limited - so make your plans and reserve your spot at the food trough soon so you don't miss out.  We'll see you there.

Freud:

I see you're planing on making an announcement about the 2009 Reunion -- tomorrow.  I thought I'd let you see that I've already got a topic started about it -- so you might just add to this one. 

Back to my post from a week or so ago -- the goofy airline ticketing process darned near got me.  I made the reservations on "travelation.com" -- and get a call from them a day later telling me that I couldn't have the tickets I had bought.  It seems that American Airlines and Frontier Airlines don't have a mutual ticketing arrangement (or something) so the flight upon which I clicked "yes" wasn't really available after all.  So I went looking around - and found better times at a lower cost (by using Orbitz.com).

Then there's the goofy "select the seats you want" option when buying tickets.  I went through all four flights (Mqt - Minneapolis - Portland and back) and selected available seats.  The confirmation came back moments later -- telling me that the seats I had clicked weren't available after all (even though the little simulator said they were), and therefore their computer chose for us.  Their choices?  Well, the good thing is that at least we're riding in the same airplane.  That's about it, though.  No big deal -- I'll ask for different seats when we get to the airport and that'll be that.

We look forward to the Reunion.  It's only two months away!

Ferd, shouldn't this be in the events section   

[Freud]

It should probably be in the events section but since I paid my traffic fine at the massage parlor I seem to have made entries at the improper place in the past.

Maybe Slim can relocate me or ban me.

I had a call from Shilo Inn in Portland. Two crusty old buggars wanted to book rooms for the banquet. They were also getting noisy in the bar.

The one called Jack said, ""At least I don't have Franklin's ego, which must be at least this big."

Wouldn't you know it, trouble has started already.  We may have to relocate but there's still plenty of time.

Would you west coast fellows that post on this site, and anyone else that you know who does not post here, please send me an e-mail address so I can put you on the mailing list.

You may use either of these addresses. The first one is also posted in the mailing.

I didn't mean to discriminate. Anyone around the nation is invited.

It's fun at the banquet from wherever you live.

Here's a mug shot of the people from the 2 Club that attended in 2008.

Some people have had a problem attempting to book rooms at the Shilo Inn. I just talked to them and they promise to have the problem resolved by this afternoon.

I will post a note as soon as that is accomplished.

I assure you,  there is no lack of rooms. Please be patient.

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE
