I'm wearing red long johns.

Oh yeah, and blue jeans.

Didn't someone promise to donate snacks?

I will put a little skin in the game. I'll contribute $100 for snacks on the bus if the bus is full (paid commitments) by noon on Thursday. If HMO can get the details about where people can pay, we can get this started.

I saw those adult size jammies at Target but beware, they don't have the butt flaps!

You guys know the high is 55 on Saturday, right? There's no use for long underwear or any of that stuff. You'll be completely comfortable in just a sweatshirt.

says the southerner. Take into account the windchill as well. Yeah you may be fine in a sweatshirt, but youll be alot more comfortable with long johns and a jacket. Plus the jacket would work as a pillow on the bus, and if it turns out you dont need you, you dont need it. Better to be safe than sorry

I'm an old guy on meds, so I have to ask: does this bus have a BATHROOM?

Yes CJ. It's a pretty nice charter bus with all that goes with it including bathroom, dvd player to show movies, and I'm pretty sure a PA system. Depending on how we are doing on time, we may also make a "pit stop" or 2 in addition to breakfast and dinner.

Anybody want to guess the percentage of

vs college students on the bus?

23 and under = college age
24+ = old hag

I'm guessing the

will outnumber students 2:1 simply because most will be home on break.

That's true, Rooster. And the math really hurts, being on the wrong side of 40.

No I meant on the 40 thing.

Anyway, I'm not going to be able to go Saturday. Family commitments you know.

I'm really impressed that this all came together so soon. I was actually shocked to hear Dwayne Carson make the announcement this morning.

I'm really hoping this won't be a busload of people that look like they should be going to a Star Trek convention.
