Tudor, Stealthcruiser, Stevie G, and PBRmeasap, I look forward to hooking up in a few days! I have written down everyone's numbers who gave them to me and will call when I get to town. Hopefully I don't get caught up in that blizzard! I will have Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday to go running around if anyone is game. Sorry, we will be cruising down in the Ol Lady's Camry with 4 people loaded in the car with all of our junk so HAMB relays will not be an option. Thanks! Aaron
bring your *** on down,and save room in the camry for the "lunar lander/space truck care package"(TM). contains lots of "stability enhancing devices" see ya monday at the house of Tudor. is it still on Tudor?
ployboy, not sure what the whole plan is, hope tudor's is still on...close to me, and i don't have a clue where anything is around atlanta. 262-470-1647 cell 770-300-0347 home give a call jeff
go see the elvis vault at the star bar,,, oh and thanks again for THE CAGE,,, we have lots of plans for it,,, love,, miss TBH
Jeff I added your info to my list. Hooch - I am still waiting for those pics. Is there anything else worth going to see there?
It is still on at My house for Monday Night - I won't be near a computer from Thursday till Sunday - so - all is welcome Stealth and PBR and Brad54 I know have my number. Looking forward to seeing you fools - and I have something for us to figure out My plan was fetch plowboy from his hotel Monday after work we'll work something out sunday. what blizzard?
BACKSTREET is open 24 hours i think,,, you'd get LUCKY there for sure,,, just be careful driving on peachtree,,,, kisses,,, miss ho
Josh, pm me some directions, please dammit! and yeah, Plowboy would prolly get a kick out of the backstreet. Miss tbh knows her clubs!
It turns out I may be working in Athens GA on Monday. I will not be able to pick up Plowboy onmy way home. Here is where Plowboy said he was staying: Sheraton Suites Galleria Atlanta 2844 Cobb Parkway S.E. Atlanta GA 30339 Plowboy - call me man when you can
Backstreet sounds like the Manhole in Chicago. I am sure it would be a gay time. I will call y'all on Friday when I get into town. It looks like the snowstorm So-IL is happening today. Hopefully everything is fine by tomorrow.
We went to the Coca Cola museum. It was pretty cool. Went to some seedy bar along a boat yard... I don't remember the name. Cool band though. Five Points is a cool artsy area. We were there for a work meeting my fiance had. I drove around Macon. Took a mansion tour. It was a fun trip.
I thought Backstreet got busted and lost their "private club" status. The ultimate dive bar is the Clermont Lounge on Ponce, an Atlanta ins***ution for 40 years. Ask for Blondie. Pick up a copy of Creative Loafing for local music.
If you wanna see a couple of high-end totally modern muscle cars that are actually pretty cool, a couple of restored muscle cars, and Little E's winston cup car, stop up at Year One in Braselton (exit 129 off of I-85: Turn Right off the ramp on Hwy 53, and then into the parking lot on the right). I work there now--Stop by on Thursday or Friday (before 1pm) and I'll give you a tour. They've got a shop out back that builds projects, too, so there's some cool car-stuff happening there, not just a warehouse full of parts. Call 800-YEAR ONE and ask for me (Brad O****) or Pat Statton, or just show up! I'd give you my direct extension, but I don't know it yet -Brad
Talked to aaron this morning and he was not there yet. When he called me he was 25 hours into the trip and just about there. I guess he should have taken the family snowmobile!!
Well, we got in about 9 o'clock this morning (Friday), we left Thursday morning at 7:30. I protested Wednesday night about leaving on Thursday but of course I was the dumb *** for wanting to leave a day later. In laws just HAD to go then. They hadn't even watched the weather channel. The trip was supposed to be 10 hours. It took us 26. I got to catch a nap on the interstate somewhere in Tennessee because traffic came to a halt for 3.5 hours. We also had to drive 15-20 mph through the entire state of KY and half of TN. Then in Chatanooga we had to wait for another 2.5 hours to clean up some wreck and airlift the injured out. The worst trip I have ever been on.....period. Brad, are you guys going to be open on Monday or Tuesday? I need to see something cool to make this trip worth while. HELP ME!
Ployboy, if you want to head out there, let me know, i know where it is, and tue is supposed to be low 50's and sunny...perfect day for a little cruise... Brad what do you do there? my fiance's sisters' husband works there, kinda general maintence, bob corbin this name...ever met him?
Will do Jeff. I am not at the Hotel now. We just decided to stay at my wife's sister's place. It is just south of the Hotel a bit.
Hey Fellas - I jut made it back from Christmas. Plowboy sounds like you had a hell trip. Well I got a guy coming to look at the truck I am selling and don't have much time. I will post in the morning to see what all is going on - merry x-mas
Well, I just found out that we are heading home on Tuesday so going to Year One will have to happen on Monday if it is going to happen. The Ol Lady changed the plans on me, but I am not going to complain because I want to get the Lunar lander frame built this weekend. I'll see you all tomorrow night!
Just to clarify--YOU wanted to leave a day later to avoid driving in a miserable, Donner Party-esque blizzard, but everyone said "No! Press on! We can make it there before the snows close the p*** and leave us stranded, waiting for the weak ones to die off so we can eat them..." Now they're telling you to pack it up early and drive home. Just making sure my score-card is up to date. My official ***le at Year One is: Copy Chimp and Camera Pimp. Actually, I think we're settling on "Director of Special Projects/ Media Relations" or something along those lines. I don't know many people there--just the guys I've worked with for magazine stories over the years. I'm also horrible with names. I've been there for a week, and a lot of the people still think I'm a magazine guy in doing a story, not an employee. -Brad
Well, I got home last night (tuesday) around 6:30 or so. It only took about 8.5 hours to get home instead of the 26 hours it took to get there. Thanks to Brad for taking the time to give us the tour of Year One. That was pretty cool. We got to see some of the past project cars and the 2fast2furious cars, well, what was left of them at least. It was good to meet up with some other HAMBers too. Stevie G, PBRmeasap, Tudor, Stealthcruiser. My wife was kind of pissed that I didn't get back until 2:30 AM. Oh well, it made the trip much more pleasant for me in the long run. Thanks guys, I look forward to seeing you all again sometime! Chuck, PM me your addy so I can send you some goodies sometime. Thanks for the care package! I came home to Matt out in the garage wire wheeling the frame for the Tommi Gunn, what a mess. I am glad I wasn't there for that part.
Hey - glad you made it home all right. I had a good time - thanks to all that came. It was cool having ya'll over. Especially when we set the street on fire!!! Chuck - thanks for the cool parts off the Mercury and driving all that way. I appreciate the time it took you to do that. Damn my head hurt yesterday later, Tudor
tudor... thanks for having all us over and keeping you up all night, got home and felt bad that you'd be going to work with a headache (again) Brad, big thanks for the tour good meeting ya ployboy, stealthcruiser too So whens the next southern hamb gathering!?!?
Tudor, a head like yours ought to hurt! thanks for the hospitality,had a large time, although my alternator took a **** about 5 miles from the house. we'll do it again. later.
Chuck, maybe it was all those extra "accessories" on your car that made it go out. That anti radar device is drawing too much current I'll bet.
