Alright, who's going to be there?
1) SuperJon
2) thesportscritic (hopefully)

Things to do after the game:
The Dixie Classic Fair is in town right across the street if you like fairs and stuff like that.
There's a brand new movie theater that's insanely nice about 5 minutes up the road.
Ziggy's has an Absolute 80's cover band night starting at 9 and it's within walking distance of the stadium.
Hanes Mall is always a great place if you take the wife and she wants to go shopping. Hanes Mall Blvd has a ton of stuff as well.
Downtown has really gotten nice so if you want to just get out and walk around and take in a few different places that'd be the place to go.
The Red Rooster is probably the best club if you're into that. There are a ton of bars though.
Putt-Putt Golf and Games off of Stratford Road would be great for the kids.

Places to eat:
There is every chain restaurant that you could want within probably 10 minutes. (Applebee's, O'Charley's, TGI Friday, Ruby Tuesday, Chili's, Hooters, Buffalo Wild Wings, Hams, Moe's, and more I'm forgetting)
Elizabeth's Pizza is awesome. It's one of the best pizza places in Winston.
Speaking of pizza, there's a great place downtown on Burke Street. I forget the name. We just call it the pizza place on Burke Street.
There are a few Japanese Steakhouses. I suggest Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse off of Peter's Creek Pkwy.
Steak N Shake is awesome.

There are others that I'll remember as the week goes on, these were just off the top of my head.

Who else is making the trip?


If you are, a little word of advice, leave early. Give yourself an extra hour than you normally would. The Dixie Classic Fair starts today and with the weather being around 75 tomorrow there'll be a lot of people there. We'll be sharing the parking lot at the LJVM with them. All of the lots on the Stadium side of the road are reserved so we'll either have to park at Ernie Shore Field or at the LJVM and cross under the road. Just give yourself time.

I'm leaving, with the band, early tomorrow morning (call time is 7:00. not sure when we leave, though). Looking forward to a great time tomorrow, and lunch with the WF band. Pray for us as we travel, as we have 3 54-passenger buses, a truck, and a trailer.

Are you tailgating? If not, stop by my car sometime. We'll be in a blue Trail Blazer.




As for what we're wearing: I'll be in a red LU shirt and a West Stokes baseball hat.
