Right now i'm talking with the special events/group reservations people of the Marriot as well as the Hampton inn (both in mesquite)
They both have fitness areas, pools(one indoor, one outdoors), free breakfast and highspeed internet. But the Hampton has a great outdoor area that would be good for a bbq, drinking, or what not.
Here's a pic of the out side area for Hampton inn (haven't gotten any pic's from marriot to show the outside area.

Just want to keep everyone in the looop --- hopefully i'll have some more info to pass on in the near future

yeah, that hotel does look like a nice place to hang. i would be interested in a price for the nights. maybe we can get a break for being there a few nights with so many rooms. but i'm sure someone has already worked that out.
and yea, i was just joking. i may be bringing my girl down, depending on what she wants. she's too good to lose!

Hey, maybe you could arrange a car-pool with Jclaw and Jime - if those guys could come too, then us guys from the lower 48 could get the real word on whether Canadian air is really a mod. Plus, meeting you Canadians would be special.

Yeah, they call that sweat! Next year, margaritas instead... Do you think you could get Jose's premixed Golden margaritas instead of water? You could double attendance just like that !

This will be the third state/province I've attended a Maxima meet in!

I pretty much take one highway right from my town to Dallas (Hwy 35). I'll be passing through Minneapolis and caravaning with some .orgers there.

I just got word back from the Hampton Inn and the Marriott.
Marriott can set us up with up to 30 rooms for $79 (reg. $109) - single or double same price. (Still no outside pictures)
Hampton inn is almost full and has only 15 suites left and 5 reg. rooms. The suites are $115 (reg. $142) and standard rooms for $85 (reg. $102)
I'm going to contact other hotels on the list -- and see what they say...

Yep, being in the hotel industry we get great discounts -- If only we could set that up for everyone --- would be nice

I just put the car on for the first time yesterday, to go to KCIR today, but we've had rain (the strip got wet today), 2-inch hail, and assorted tornados in this region for the last 12 hours, so I stayed home today. The package pulls well, so now I'll have time to put on new rotors and pads on the front of the Max. I toasted the front brakes a few times last year. Something about 0-102-0 in one-half mile that causes brake damage, I guess....
I'm looking forward to Maxus '06 -

Oklahoma is the scariest part of the I35 trip (tornado alley is THERE) - I've seen some really bad weather there - even coming home from Maxus '05 there were bad storms across the interstate that parked me for 2 hours. We may see bad weather again this year.
When in doubt, get off the road and
- no shizz ....

When in doubt, get off the road and
- no shizz ....We had a small tornado rip through our yard 3 years ago...that did enough damage that I can't imagine what the big ones are like! At least my tires are great in the rain and resist hydroplaning really well.

Yes, when in doubt, leave your car and head for a ditch or culvert - forget the car ... and wave at me as I fly by......

Of course, everybody that lives in the Midwest has tornado stories - some are even true! Personally, I worry more about cops than tornados. Come to Maxus '06 anyway.....

The madness continues : Kansas City Fox Channel 4 reported earlier on a "half-mile wide" tornado that "devestated" (sp?) Sedalia Missouri this afternoon, and at 8:10 PM there was another "monster tornado" bearing down on Concordia Missouri, next to I70, between Kansas City and St. Louis. Sheesh - a bad day all around.
yeah, this is Tornado season.. it should be done by late april or early May though.. part of the reason I don't mess with having shows around that time. too many rainstorms in the area.
down here in houston, the rainy season starts in mid-late feb and rains basically daily until may when it starts to dry out a bit and we only get the daily 10 min shower about 5pm.
