Spike-A-Pike Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 A number of us are planning on staying at the Hampton Inn. I talked to a memeber of the staff and by requesting a block of rooms we can get a group discount of $70.00 per night, the regular rate is $78.00. That also includes thier breakfast bar in the morning. Let me know if you are interested and I'll get you hooked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philB Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Guys I got my room booking confirmation today from the Hampton, yippeee. April can't come round quick enough for me, I'm now wishing my life away I'm looking forward to the meet that much . philB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 LedHead. The rooms that are reserved for TU were got to provide a central point of contact, get a $10.00 a night discount, and try to make life a little easier on members coming in from overseas. They have a total of 65 rooms, lets fill ‘em all if we can… From what I've seen to date, it looks like Hazmail (aka: Pete), philB, and the Vodkaman (aka: Dave) and I are have reservations at the Comfort Inn. Informally, we have suggested discussions on fishing, lure and tackle making, fermentation methods, what the proper temperature is for drinking said malt, hops, grain beverages are all okay. Nail polish is still open for debate, I think… I would also like to say that there are no set times for any activities or dinners or other "events". Nathan is our host and I defer to him and his wife, Deb. But, since nothing is carved in stone, I think we can discuss what we'd like to try and do with our time. I know one member is interested in seeing how a Musky spinner is put together, another member is brining a new lures to "tank test" in a swimming pool in the Clinton area. I have suggested to everyone that you bring a bucket of your best baits, lures, cranks, worms, etc., and show us some magic. Back when Nathan mentioned that the TU meet was the last weekend in April, I began to find out more about past meets and have invited the senior members to share some stories and memories with all of us "Newbies". Last I heard, Jerry (redg8r) is planning to come, time permitting. I think I safely say that we want to observe all existing traditions and maybe, add a few more. This hopefully will be the start of many great new friendships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Bruce so good of you to ask! The picture is of one TU finest members sharing a tender moment with Nathan's pet pig at the first TU gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 KcDano. Do you happen to recall what they where talking about? It wasn't how to smoke pork or make Bar-B-Q sauce was it? We have a couple of ####er spanials and that is actually a common sight around this house (if you swap the pet pig with a pet puppy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 No not that kind of tender, amorous would best describe the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 ..I forgot that picture was around..Poor Coley,he'll never live that down.....Throw back a few and kiss a pig..you bet somebody will have a camera....Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Coley has had enough fun, perhaps Bruce might want to give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Perhaps Bruce - What??? Not to scare anyone, but I just sat down figued out that there are only 94 days before the TU Meet, 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well worth the wait! We need to work on Coley and Charlie make sure they make it, wouldn't be the same without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 1. As a former farm kid, I think barn yard love is just wrong!!! 2. Coley (I've seen that name before) and Charlie (aka: ???) What can I do to help??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 First and foremost you will never meet finer individuals than Coley and Charlie. They were more than instrumental in success of the first two get togethers. And now that this get together is starting to gain some momentum, I sure would like to see them make it and have the opportunity to B.S. with the both of them again. In addition, they fix some of finest table fare your lips will ever meet, albeit from a trash can or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm not afraid yet... I have been to 2 goat roasts, 3 or 4 whole hog roasts, grill chicken over a beer can. I know you can actually use a large trash can as an over sized stew pot. I still would like to know what to bring??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Beer, and plenty of it! The rest is inconsequential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezerbassman Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 we all know that we need to bring the beer it is always number one on the list of stuff to bring. What else should we bring. Us newbies want to make sure we are prepared for this gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
