possible florida get together
« on: August 10, 2008, 10:05:51 AM »
Hey, I've just learned that our friends, Pete and Mandy, will be joining us in Florida starting Sept. 16th. Obviously we need more info as to itinerary, but I'm assuming that they'll be available the following weekend, the 20th and 21st.  I wouldn't mind going back to the Tampa area again, but Orlando is cool.  I'm not too sure about Jax, though. Want to spare us the drive this time?  

Funny, I just messaged them this morning asking what was up, and now we know. Who's up for it?

count me in for sure.....just as long as I know enough in advance. I'm also cool with driving, since I know you old guys can't take a long trip in the car!  

Just message me with more info, as I'll try to keep an eye out for this post Kevin..

Boy youre fast Kev.

We are over for 2 weeks and we are hoping to travel up to see SrKegler and the family on the Wednesday that we arrive. We are thinking of staying up at St Augustine for a couple of days while we visit him. Then we are free for anything so long as theres a bowling alley nearby!!!!!!!

I have Emailed both Alakazam and SrKegler and await their replies with baited breath. Just hope SrK is a little better than when I heard from him earlier in the year. Its not the same without Darold at these gathering is it?

Cant wait to see everyone again and see if BigWilly has increased those revs from the 1080 that he had last time we met

Star,

Great to hear from ya again....can't wait to see you all this year. I was excited to meet both Kevin and Alakazam at the Winston Salem gathering and they both told me about you coming back this year. When you're up seeing SrK lemme know, as I live in Jax also, and would definately come see ya then as well as in Tampa (or wherever we decide to have the Florida meet-up with everyone).

Big Willy Style

PS...I have been doing arm curls....but I can't get the rev rate over 1830...hopefully it'll be a bit higher by the time you're here!

Hey sorry I havnt got back to you all.

20th would be great. Tampa sounds fantastic.
Could make a weekend of it no problems.

We have a floating itinerary. That is if theres a bowling alley there we can make it

It actually suits us better than Orlando as we want to pop by and spend a day or two with Mr and Mrs Alakazam so its nearby. We spend most of our stay on the west coast too, Mandy seems to love it there.

Counting down the days .............

Gunny, you can still come by and meet whoever shows up.

  OK, I've got an update, with a little problem.  Seminole lanes is full up until 2 on Saturday, the 20th, but Sunday is no problem at all.  Can I tell them the 21st is ok, or should we try to fight the birthday parties someplace else?

  We'd actually prefer it to be the Sunday, since I'd only take 1 vacation day that way.

 I guess they've got an enormous youth league that needs to do 2 shifts in this 60 lane house, so space is at a premium.  The CATS system will be available if we wait until 2 on Sat, or all day Sun.  OK, what are we doing?

Kev we are easy which ever day it has to be.

We'll just have to find something to do on the Saturday thats all. Did you say the lanes are free after 2pm?

If its Ok for the others then Sunday it will be.

Ok, here it is.  This year's mini-gathering is at Seminole lanes, 8668 Park Boulevard, Seminole, FL, 33777.  Their number is 727-392-2271.  The date is Sunday, Sept 21st from 11 to 6.  The CATS system will be available, too, so everybody check out your costumes, and rehearse your music.  I hope to see everybody there.

Just a little reminder, all you Florida bowlers:  We're confirmed for Sun. the 21st at Seminole lanes, starting around 11.  I know we'll be pulling into town the afternoon before, and we'll be there until Mon. morning.  The Let's Go Bowling Show has arranged to give a free CATS session to some lucky attendee, and Ken, the host, said he'll be stopping by for a visit.  Bill Zuben, the co-host, will be working there that day, so we'll get a chance to meet him, too.  I've also invited any interested bowler from BBAMBowling.com and BowlingTracker.com., so come on out and have some fun.
