I unfortunately won't be able to attend Paso Robles due to a schedule conflict. Need to house sit/family sit. Wine isn't much of my thing either.

Of course of things change then I will go.

We are now getting closer to the event. Time to prod people.

If you have not done so, please make your hotel reservations. The deal closes march 15th.

The ticket price for the event, just as last year, is $40 per person. This covers the tasting for the day, as well as lunch. Please contact me via email (click on my name and see the address) so that I can send you the address to send your check to. This needs to be done in advance so that I can make the appropriate arrangements. I need this by the end of the month.

This is going to be so much fun. I am really looking forward to it.

I want to join again this year and my sister wants to come along too, but sans 968 unfortunately. bva, PM me with what scotch you're bringing and I'll bring along a different one.

[flash]

cool - drop me a line and i'll send you the info

i'm bummed and curious - why not with the 968?

Thus far Dan is the only one, besides myself, from the NorCal group that has indicated they are going on the Paso Run. Are there any others out there? Depending on where everyone is coming from we might need to consider more than one rendezvous point. I'm open to route suggestions although there are not a lot of alternatives that don't add additional driving time which means an earlier start. We've always managed to show up right on time.

i know pauli, mrmister, and lbpesq said they wanted to go

eezatoy might be coming

Yes, I am planning to spend the celebration of my 56th year on this planet amongst a bunch of 968's and I no of no other place on the planet where that can be accomplished than Paso Robles! I won't be able, though, to caravan with other Norcal attendees. I have a court appearance in Federal court in Fresno on Friday, the 8th, so my wife and I are planning to drive to Fresno Thursday evening, and then drive from Fresno to the coast on some cool mountain road, yet to be determined. (Suggestions always appreciated). I've just ordered a wind deflector, expedited shipping, from Sunset in an effort to avoid the inevitable "Can we put the top down" ... "Do we have to ... it'll ruin my hair" discussions. (Anyone notice that if you see a convertible with the top up on a nice day, it is invariably being driven by a person of female persuasion? lol).

Flash: My check will be in the mail tomorrow.

" I sold the m030 last October "


you got mail ( btw, subject/title starts with a WTF ?! )

that aside, it would be great to have you, sis, and the scotch join us even if you are driving some japanese car or whatnot down there

the deadline for the discounted room rate is TUESDAY MAR 15 - reserve your room NOW!!!

i still have not gotten a lot of rsvps from the "regulars" - rsvp means please respond one way or the other - that way i can stop bugging you if you aren't coming

also, if i haven't already made special arrangements with you, i need to have the checks for the tickets in hand by the end of the month

[ebarone968]

I am coming into San Francisco airport Friday early afternoon and heading straight to Paso Robles. Unfortunately not in the 968........

I won't make it this year. Instead Mike and I are executing our an assault on the Rockies starting that weekend. In another post I'll ask for some assistance on that topic.

Reservation made, 968 goes into the body shop this week to have repairs done and yes it will be out of the shop in time. $6,000 in repairs from a parking lot hit run and a low speed rearending, yikes. Flash, I'll send along a check for the pass shortly.

Ahhh, that SUCKS! Well I hope you get your 968 back in time for Paso.

Bob, I made a hotel reservation and sent you email over the weekend, let me know what else is needed.

[tom968]

I had a minor car problem I had to resolve. That,
and I had to get my taxes done delayed my response.

I reserved the room, and the check is in the mail.

Looking forward to it.

cigars just ordered from my special source ( an assortment of "torpedo" style stogies ) -- expecting them to be delivered this week ; a couple from the dominican republic, a couple from nicaragua and the rest from an origin i'd rather not reveal on the internet , but i'm assured they were thigh-rolled by caribbean virgins especially for us no doubt they'll go very well with the scotch you guys are bringing.. let's just hope it does not rain 'cause I'm pretty sure you can't smoke anywhere indoors in California

Too bad I'll be down there a month after the run I'm working hard on perfecting Single Malt Cigars for next year.

NorCAl contingent, where are we all coming from? I know that Pauli is coming down from the Wine Country. How many do we have from the west side of the Bay and how many from the east side? In years past we have gathered in Gilroy and that may be the best location if we have a large crowd coming from both sides of the Bay. Last year, as there were only three of us, we gathered in Portola Valley and headed down from there. Let me know where you are coming from.
