WHERE: GREATER ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI AREA (Lambert Airport in St. Louis is the airport that you should fly into)
WHAT: Ok everyone, lets get ready to have a great time here in the USA. Food, drink, singing (if you’re brave enough...LOL) fun and lots of friends just hanging out.
I have found the best deal for accommodations after talking to every hotel and motel in the area.
DAYS INN HOTEL: 12 Commerce Dr., Collinsville, Illinois. 62234, 618-345-2000 $55+tax per night, indoor swimming pool(4ft deep max, continental breakfast(muffins, waffels, cereal, juice, coffee) You can make your reservations anytime and if for some reason you must cancel for any reason, you will be able to do so up to one week before the event without any charges.
I have reserved 20 rooms under the group name "CONNECTING SINGLES"
FRIDAY NIGHT: we will all meet at SHARKY's bar/pool hall at 7pm. That way members who are traveling can have time to arrive and refresh themselves. Sharky's has a live band with a cover charge of about $5 per person. The pool hall side has no cover charge. I have not received the answer from the owner yet about a discount on the cover charge. I will let you all know as soon as I find out.
SATURDAY NIGHT: dinner at PORTERS STEAKHOUSE Dinner at 7pm then drinks and karaoke at JJ's Corner with the best system and DJ (and close personal friend of mine...LOL)Tommy Tunesmith, in the area.
SUNDAY: many of us will need to tend to our pounding heads... At noon on Sunday, I will start the grill at my house. Anyone who doesn't have to travel too early and wants to join in is welcome to bring a meat to grill and any beverages they would like to drink. I will provide side dishes... potatoe salad, baked beans, salad, and mac and cheese. I would appreciate some advanced notice on how many might plan on attending so I can make sure there is enough for everyone.
This will be mostly an outside event...as my house is too small to accommodate everyone...
If there are any other suggestions, please reply to this thread or email me personally...
I am looking forward to meeting you all and prepared to have a blast!!!!!!
Wish I would have thought of it....I guess I could start putting it up on all the bathroom walls in the rest areas and truckstops in the area....or give it to a few truckers....let them spread the good news....
You too...LOL..my phone died within a few minutes of us ending the call...LOL...I can't wait until you are here...we will chat bunches...LOL...
I have sent out emails trying to find out who was still planning on attending in April...if you didn't get one...that means I know you are attending...
If you haven't ansewered the email yet...please do as soon as you can... I have a few things in the works and need to have a better idea of how many to plan on...
Congrats to you both....I wish you a life full of long chats, nights curled up on the couch, great evenings out, long walks, and all the happiness in the world.
Be good to each other and never lose the respect you have for each other now.
I am really looking forward to seeing you all in April...
if you know that you are going to be attending the cook out on Sunday...can you please send me an email so that I can make sure that there will be enough side items for everyone...
