C5/C6 Birthday Bash 2013

[BigJimZ16]

Well, the Birthday Bash is just a month away!!! Who all is going this year?? We need to get together so I can put some faces on some names!! And maybe put away a little Maker's Mark... Wife and I will be there on Wednesday afternoon, we plan on doing our own MM cruise on Friday afternoon. Anyone else interested??

Oh yah, we'll be staying at the Holiday Inn at University Plaza, probably headed to the Brickyard in BG for dinner on Thursday evening!!

Jim, this is one of those things I'd like to attend, but it's right at the wrong time for a school teacher. Maybe once I "really" retire it is something that I can do. Have fun.

No Tuna this year.

The Bash always falls on or close to the Big Bend Open Road Race which my wife and I try to do most years. So, in a couple of weeks, we'll be driving the 427 Vert to Ft Stockton and doing a little triple digit driving on a twisty Texas highway.

Y'all have fun.

We plan to be at the '14 Bash though.

Bash Info

Arrived yesterday afternoon after driving through rain and snow... Made great time! Had an excellent dinner at Verdi, Maker's Mark on ice is nice... Woke up this morning to bright sunshine!! Washed and detailed the Grand Sport behind the Sloan Convension Center in 47 degree "warmth" this morning at 8 AM. Looking at the C7s by 11 AM... they definately look better in person! A blue coupe and a Laguna Blue Vert! Can't wait till tomorrow to see them in the light of day. Indoor lighting kind of sucks... Dinner at Montanas tonight, volunteer work in the morning... Saw Hib, exchanged a few greetings!
I'll post up some pictures of the C7 tomorrow, todays just don't do the cars justice.

Oh yah... Maker's Mark cruise will be Saturday morning, leaving from the Museum front lot at 9:15!

Cool to see one out. Saw several sitting outside the plant yesterday. Hung out with BigJim today and did tour to Makers Mark. Nice to put a face with a name. Thanks Jim for being tour guide. Bought a lift yesterday from a vendor at museum. That should make life easier. Great time in general and seemed like a good turnout. Said 1400 app. preregistered.
