I was thinking that those who were hosting during one part of the day would be able to travel around at other times.

I agree, that's the tricky part. I would like to host, but would also like to see some of the other guy's rigs.

I guess you could have some open in the am and some in the pm. That way you could see half anyway. Or like you said Jeff, just a couple hours for each place.

Hi,
If this is held on the weekend of the 8th, Mike and I would be interested. If it is the following weekend, we will be busy with the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Parade. Let me know what is decided.
Thanks,
Renee

I was wondering when that was, I usually attend. For the college kids though, the 15th, 22nd or 29th would be better (assuming we do it on a Saturday).

I think the board would have to ultimatly decide that. Though if there is enough interest, as it seems here, There should be no problem getting ththe go ahead.

Is there enough time to get it going after the board decides?

I am not sure what happened. I hit the submit button once. Typical RC.

I am willing to help, if you need it, Christy. Just let me know.

holy cow!!! LOL. I'm interested. I remember wen i was at UCF on one of the holidays this kid put his address and phone number and said if anyone wants to come over to give him a call. I think like 10 people stopped by. It was cool. Something to do on a day that I had nothing else to do. What I'm thinkin is if we (the people who want to open their houses) decide on the best day for us (preferrably a sat or sun) to just put up some addresses and phone numbers and let people stop by. Call first of course. I'll open my house if it's something like that.

Christy and I were discussing the tank hops the other day, and had an interesting idea. The way it's been done in the past (with a bus) makes a long day of it, and that may not work for everyone. One possible alternative would be to use private vehicles, and encourage people to get together and car pool. Schedule ~2 hour long "open house" slots at various members' houses throughout the day. Overlap them a little, so people can spend more or less time time wherever they want.

This has a couple of advantages. First, there's no cost involved (except for gas). After that, it's just more flexible. It gives people the option to see some of the tanks, when maybe they can't commit the full day to visit all of them. Or, someone could do a portion of the 'hop' in one geographic area. There's flexibility to skip a tank here or there, or maybe visit a nearby LFS in between two stops. The only added complexities are that parking could be tight at some locations (carpool), and we'll need to give out mapquest directions to get people from place to place.

Thanks, i love the idea since an all day thing is not for me.
