Challenge

I'm good either way...  and off on Good Friday, but it has been my experience that events on Easter Weekend don't work as well as events on other non-family-holiday weekends.  Probably get more people there if you move it, at least more for Saturday and Sunday.  Its up to you I guess since you need to make a decision asap. 
It's your world Kenny, we're just living in it... 
Can the people that already have RV reservations still move them too? 

You know in some cultures (Canadian) they celebrate Easter on Monday... O0
Title: Re: Spring X Thing "08"
Post by: TomVTX on September 10, 2007, 08:40:07 PM
I'm for moving it forward.  Might help get more there.  Easter sometimes is a family deal and some can't come on Easter.  I'll be there either way, haven't missed one yet.

Kenny, see if we can camp the two extra days, wed and thurs. I'm sure we'll have quite a few there Wednsday and Thursday, like last year. I'll pay the 40, but if it turns out no one else comes early and will split the cost...I'll pay the 200. So....see if you can get the Wed and Thurs added to Friday and Sat Please.

I was ask directions to the "VTreX Sprang Thang" so I thought I would add it here as well. Delete if it's not appropriate.

It starts at HWY 35 and Airport Rd-36/TX-53 WEST in Temple.

Kenny, great M&G.  Thanks for putting this together!!  Glad to see Carla up and about.

It was great seeing you all.  I was glad to meet a few new faces.  Can't believe SgtStever really has a wife or was it the neighbor? 

To recap for those that missed out...

I'm guessing 30 or so camped and a few others that came in for day.   Even Wayne (TXGABOY) showed up as we were leaving today.
You had your choice between Billville and Showville.  Took a nice leasurely ride Saturday.  Burgers were good but waited way too long.  The weather was good, saw 4 or 5 moons Friday night.  Saw some baby melons Saturday night.  Hookem got waxed.
Learned quite a few new phrases... Some repeatable and some not. 
Too all a good night.
Shut your pie whole.
And see you next year.

oh and more thing...we have pictures  ;D

As mayor of Billville I want to thank our sister city Showville for the endless entertainment this weekend. I had a great time. I even got out of my chair once or twice.  ;D
After having a brief conversation with the grower, I opted out on the melon display. O0

Ya'll had pie too?  :D

Great time, I would personally like to thank Kenny for being a great host and for the time and effort he put in to this. 

Another big thanks to Mike for inviting Saturday nights entertainment, who knew beads and booze get ya boobs outside of Mardi Gras.  Snake was a happy man!!! O0

Great seeing everyone again.  Wish I was making it to BBT, but oh well.

Thanks again to all who came out, and yes, RD did whip my Cranberries out there( who knew the old man could move so fast!)  C-caw C-caw!!

Just to expand a little on geri's post, saturdays ride was great right up until I managed to somehow get bug guts under my glasses and into my eye. food was good but not an hour and a half good. :o Got to see Trent(could-be-faster) mow some grass on our way back to camp. :o I was also shown by Brent(brentos) how to quickly "tumble" dry a tent. :o ;D We all found out RD possesed ninja like skills when he attacked Steve(sgtstever) out of the darkness! 8) ;D Had a brief appearance from the legendary "Vanilla Ice" or "The Great Deer Hunter" which ever you prefer. Somebody made a feeble attempt to "paper towel" Kenny's(VTreX) camper. ::) I want to thank Tom for being my "Jousting Buck Rogers", we should've won that event--stupid sideways mounted ring!!! I would also like to thank Snake for the saturday night "Bead" show and to Vanessa for supplying Snake with those precious beads. You know Snake, I had no idea how well beads could be attached to ladies underwear, thank you for that!!!! ;D :D ;D The "nick-naming" event was fun as well or it was fun until I was somehow referenced with Jack-in-the-box, damnit! O0  I'll post up some pics soon, the decent ones that is. 
here are some other notable phrases:

apples to cherries
thats a huge Buck Rogers

In all seriousness though, it's the times like these that make it all worth while.
Thank you to everyone that came out and made it what it was and thanks to Kenny(VTreX) for keeping it going. O0 8)

See ya next year!

C-CAW C-CAW!!

Had a GREAT time.  Wish it would have been longer.  I was a BillVille resident.  A quiet but SAVAGE group if there ever was one!!!!  Those that missed this really missed life changing experiences!!  But then, maybe you are too wussy to stand that level of fun!  O0 ;) ::)

Thanks Kenny for the great time.  Randy - your house is too big but you handle it well.  Snake, I didn't recognize you!  Al - looking forward to ARK.  RD - Thanks for the gift of scald balls that you and "TEACHER MAN's" jeep gave me. Thanks to whoever brought the melon grower.  The educational demonstration involving beads, clothing and the growth of melons was a real treat.

Can't wait till next year 8)
