Very nice! Thanks for the offer I have 2 ideas that I would like to work on Visit the link I have in my signature, it gives you more information about the web business. Also, we have a meeting at the Ballantyne Resort Thursday night at 8pm if you would like to come.

Totally off subject, but how are the Acura Dealers in Charlotte for service, expecially if your car is modded????

Sean, you're getting hosed big time. I'm really sorry to hear about the situation.

As for Hendrick, I've never had a problem with them regarding my mods and any work I've had done. As far as I'm aware, none of the other local guys have either (and we have some rather modded cars around here, as you know).

C&C - won't be making it...going to the Nickelback/Saving Abel/somebody else show Friday...sleeping in Saturday.

Yeah I agree, I think I'm going to Hendrick for service from now on, it's only a 3 hour drive...

On a side note, where are you sitting for the concert, Jen would really like to go, she likes all the bands playing. I of course prefer a little heavier style of music.... But if it makes her happy I might be able to stand it for a while.

Got to keep the boss happy . I prefer the heavier stuff, too, but I can't pass on a decent rock concert on a weekend. I've read mixed reviews on this show, but for the $10 I paid (more in a sec), I see no reason not to go.

Seats are on the lawn (I'm cheap and it's easier to get to the beer/bathrooms). I snagged tickets to Nickelback, Def Leppard/Poison/Cheap Trick, and Cruefest a couple of months ago the day of the $10 sale. Every year they have a day where they sell tickets to 10-12 shows for $10, all fees waived if bought at the box office. I wanted to get tickets to a couple of other shows, but they were during the week (and one of them sold out before I got to the window). Friday's show is sold out except for some of the pricey seats in the covered section, but there's an outside chance I'll have two extra tickets. Depending on a family situation, my friend and her husband might not be able to go; I'll find out one way or the other tomorrow. If they don't, I don't see any reason why you guys can't get them.

Back on topic, where is your car (did I miss it)?

I haven't said what dealer it was, but it is halfway between us, so I'll leave it at that until they car fixed. Also hit me up if your friends aren't coming into town, I'll buy the tickets from you and I'm sure we'll have as good of a time as we did at the meet... haha.

Yeah, I thought you were keeping their name out of it, but wasn't 100%. Given the distance you mentioned, I pretty much knew geographically where they were.

Well, my friend just said they're definitely going. You could always scalp...always deals to be had. I've even had people just give me extra tickets to shows, middle of the covered section, no less! I have no doubt it would be fun. In fact, one of the greatest establishments in town is about five minutes from the amphitheater .

^Sounds like an amazing trip! Glad the job situation is working itself out. Depending on when you're in town, I'll be on vacation (I don't go anywhere, but I'm not at work for two weeks), so we'll definitely catch up.

Glad to here you may have a new j-o-b. When you don't like your work, it makes it 10000000x worse. The warden and I are doing well. We drove the Dragon and the Blue Ridge Parkway on our way back from Tenn (ironically the car died when we got close to home). There is a new Thread in the southest region for a dragon run this fall. I don't think I can wait. When I get the car back I'll post up some pics.

Well I'll be there for sure. Our concert is Saturday night, so no need to sleep late Sat morning

Not sure if the misses is coming or not. If so we'll probably take the FJ. If not I may shoot up on the bike...

Should know for sure by Friday which config it will be

OK, looks like the misses is coming with me. So, I'll be in our blue FJ Cruiser. We will likely leave around 8am which should get us there around 8:40am or so...

Wow, Northlake is about 15 minutes away from my house lol. I'd definitely be out there, but man that's early lol. Not to mention my girlfriend might find it a bit awkward, me going out to meet up with people at 8:30 in the morning all of a sudden, when I hardly get up anywhere before 11 lol.
