I'm going to go ahead and rent a car for weekend. I have plenty of AMEX points to basically get it for free. I'll get more details later but we will have a car so no worries.

Save your cash for Hookers

[Bill Evanoff]

I'll be getting in on Thursday and staying until Monday morning. I figure if I'm coming all that way I might as well enjoy some NM sun for a few days vs. the cold in Ohio.

Kurt said we may be driving out to the White Sands National Monument, which is the world's largest dune fields of gypsum sand. I Googled some pics of it and it is a beautiful place.

The El Paso, TX airport is the largest airport near by so you may consider flying in there too. It is less than an hour away and may be less costly than going directly into Las Cruces.

Is "Cash for Hookers" a new Obama stimulus package? Must be kind of like "Cash for Clunkers". Isn't the country in enough debt already!

[Kurt Sunday]

Bill,
Stimulus and package have something to do with it.

[Wzenheimer]

Reservations are all set...just hope the weather plays nice since we are coming out in the bonanza. See ya all there.

I invited Paul Cornell to come to this outing as he is approx. 6 hours away near Phoenix and I heard today that he and his wife will be attending. ((( Updated 2/18...Paul can not make it now unfortunately)))

For those who may not know Paul he is one of the major guys who got this whole thing going back around 1995 or so. He was the editor of the Thunderbird Information Exchange (TIX) and he produced an informal newsletter for about 4 or 5 years which eventually spawned the SCCoA. Bill Hull, the originator of the SCCoA was talking with Paul years ago and he was encourage to create this organization by Paul. So, we should all be eternally grateful to this relatively unknown Tbird enthusiast.

Paul had a '91 5.0L Tbird and documented all the things he did to in in the TIX newsletters. He is retired now and did sell that car a few years back but now has a Marauder and a 6.0L GTO. I don't know which one he will bring but it is going to be an honor having him at this event!

Just a few days away, looks like the weather will be nice. We should arrive sometime around 1:30pm-2:00pm assuming the winds treat us right.

[Kurt Sunday]

Winds are 60+ in the area today. I sure hope that changes by Friday.

Kelly Simons will arrive Las Cruces 3pm Thursday. Evanoff and I are on the same flight from DFW to ELP Thursday evening.

Kris Campos and David Dalke arrive Friday 11am ELP airport. Puff Carrasco will arrive noon. We should all be at the hotel by noon.

Get ready for some culture shock Gentlemen!

I PM(ed) you my cellular if you need anything.

[David Neibert]

Kurt,

So long as I can buy Bud Light there...I can adapt to whatever culture there is

[Kurt K]

I know it is still early, but where are the updates?

[92bird]

Hopefully the cops aren't hiding out behind the dumpster like they did at our Denver SCCoSW meet. A couple members got some hefty tickets.
