Well, I'm holding off on the 12 pack of Pabst because I want it to be fresh.ElGuappo wrote:How is prep coming for everyone?

My question: I asked my wife, Bobbie, if she wanted to come (after all, we live in Tucson, so any chance to go to SD is more that welcome).
She replied: "Why would I want to hang out with you geeks for two days".
We're talking San Diego here. Sandyeggo may be the world's best place to visit. But, still, a very fair question.
So, Do you guys bring your wives? Is there something going on for non e28buttheads? Will there be other ladies there that will go shopping/sightseeing and thus happily discuss what dickheads I/we/us really are?
I'm going regardless. Whether I share a room with my wife at the 4 Points San Diego or with a e28butthead friend will probably be determined by the end of this thread.
Catherine wants to come down (so we'll be coming in the touring). We've decided to wander down 110 from Reedsport and check out the Oregon coast and redwoods. We'll arrive in SD on Thursday and head back on I5 starting Sunday morning. Catherine is not a shopper either.Kenny Blankenship wrote:I'm following up on the wife/significant other count...Pam mentioned to me the other day she may consider coming to SD for a day if there are some others who may want to go for a spa session and perhaps other sightseeing.

Yes because I showed her my sausage. We still text every once in awhile.OcCoupe wrote:[quote="Kenny Blankenship"There's a reason one of the wives who showed up last year calls this "Sausagefest"...
I'm drunk. Does that help?ElGuappo wrote:How is prep coming for everyone?
Are you at the 4 points? Still checking when I'll be arriving, but will be there Friday.Adam W in MN wrote:Alright gang, looks like I have a confirmed flight into San Diego Friday morning, coming home on Sunday. Can I request Burger as my Uber driver piloting his E9?
In all seriousness I'll be the guy loitering in the hotel parking lot next to E28's to beg a ride over to the party. I guess I need to book a hotel room next.

That's true. I've seen many others in the Reno group at 5erWest over the years.ElGuappo wrote:I haven't seen you since 5erFest '08 in Reno!
