I think Airhead is going to dress like a sailor in drag and have his way with one of you guys.

Well, whatever Curval, but at least I know that boat will still be tied to the pier tomorrow instead of lost because its owners didn't tie it securely enough in a hurricane.

BTW, I visited the Hornet 3 years ago, it's a wonderful piece of history.

I bought 5 tickets already and have two more in reserve. Juts say yes and I'll get you one. Are you coming alone or with Stephanie?

Cool, we are set then.

Airhead and Funked,

Let's meet there. 8: 30 AM sharp!!

Do not be late and bring a flashlight!

This sounds like a lot of fun. I don't know if I'll be able to make it though. Prolly won't make it for the flashlight tour ... may be for the rest of the day.

Im just jealous Airhead. I have a cap that someone who was on it gave to me. Never had the pleasure myself.

mietla · « **Reply #42 on:** February 20, 2004, 08:10:11 PM »

It's goint to be great.

BTW, one of these planks is mine

Airhead · « **Reply #43 on:** February 20, 2004, 08:19:09 PM »

I'll be standing in front of the carrier at 8:30 AM cause I know where that is and I don't know which freeway exit you have to take to get there so I don't want to get lost. Don't confuse me by offering directions, that'll just make it worse.

Stoned Gecko · « **Reply #44 on:** February 21, 2004, 02:40:14 AM »

Sorry guys, looks like I can't make it

... hope you all have fun ... take some pics for me
