Hey Chris, I myself may be back there then to visit my family for the holidays. Would be kewl to meet you and hear your theories. I love talking to innovative people, and you and Bruce are two of the most visible people here on trannnies. Besides, I have some AODE questions for you for my POS cruiser. Mark


P.s. I will bring the windex. lol. My nephew can direct us to any appropriate party places too.

Yup, I'll be there, would love to meet some of you guys.

2quick, I am particularly interested in your nephews thoughts as over the years I have had WAY too much fun at night not even knowing all the current "hot" spots.

Chris, It would be great to get together with you as two out of three of the guys coming down with me are furd guys that run in extreme street. They would be most interested in some thoughts on tranny options.

Let's set up at booth to meet at (Art Carr, Tx would be intersting) and a time/day. Maybe sometimeThursday the 4th, so we can plan our evening activities????? I think I like the way Chris is thinking......re: gogo bars

The one time I went to a nudie bar was in Indy and they even allow you to smoke cigars in them. Was somewhat interesting to say the least. I will let you guys know if and when I will be there. Mark

One of my college roommates was from Indy. Used to talk about a place called "Big Daddy's... where there are no fatty's" Not sure if it is still around or not. Might be a place for you guys to check out!

Well, that certainly came unexpectedly but it's appreciated! I'll take you up on it. I'm sending email with my address and such; it's changed since 2 years ago. Thanks Bruce.

Well, I'd say lets meet at a booth at 12 noon on Thursday to plan the evening festivities. How about if we leave the booth choice up to you Chris? Being from Wisconsin, a Chevy and Subaru (it is turboed at least) driver and thus sheltered, I don't know who those folks are Chris, members? Feel free to fill me in. I suspect they are folks that would be great to meet though.

Right after the show on Thursday Motor State has a "free booze" bash so if you deal with those folks/have an account get a ticket from them if they didn't send you one yet. That is the only thing we have planned so far on Thursday, and since it is all you can drink for 2 or so hours it is a must do. For us that means we will be oiled up and ready to go by 7:00 that night. Where to go that night???? I'm game for anything, it just has to be memorable is all.

I'd like to go,but

Have no pass to get in. Chris, try this resturant in indy, It's by the Hard Rock and the mall, It's called Rock Bottom. It's an excellent resturant\micro brewer. The beer is awesome there.

Greek restaurants Chris? Probably by now I'm sure there is. Back when I was there it was almost all black and white. Now they have grown and even have a Taco bell or two. It is actually a big city compared to what it was, so I'm sure you can get greek food, but will it be good? Hummmmmmmmm. I was taken to a "good" Mexican place, and they served almost ketshup as salsa, so that will give you an idea. I am trying to decide if I am gonna go still. We have some people flying into Sac on that date too, so I have to decide which is best for the business, be there, or here. I'll let ya know. Mark


P.s. A good little out of the way bar that is packed is in Broad ripple on the north side of town, called the Alley Cat. Lots of pub attitude there. Plus,. it is my nephews g/f's place. lol
