Jim, are you coming to Hooters at noon tomorrow?

Damn I guess I am late at getting that magazine... I usually Go to the liquor in the same Plaza as Barnes & nobles But Get side tracked with all the Goodies I get In the Liquor Store & never Make it to the Book store... I wish they had a subscription to Camaro Now so I would Not have to worry about when it comes Out... Plus I hate the Fact that it Comes Out only quarterly They need to make this Magazine Monthly.. There's Defiantly enough Camaro's Out there that are Heavily Modded that could Make it a Monthly Magazine...
On a Side Note I Might Not Make it to Hooters Tomorrow Cause I got a Few Friends Coming Over at Noon tomorrow cause Were Going To Fort Rock at Jet Blue Park For the FORT ROCK Concert... Sorry Guys..... But I Like the Idea of a Tri-County Meet at that Place Sharky's on the Beach Let me know what you guys Decide on... I'm Down For whatever you Guys want to do For a Tri-county Camaro SWFL & Tampa Meet

I will contact the manager and see what we can do, what time were you thinking on the 31st, so I can give them a time frame?

Thanks!!! Actually everything is just preliminary as I don't know what everyone else wants to do and I know Kevin is thinking about doing something in Sarasota.

But if everyone else also wants to go to Sharky's, I'm guessing the manager would want us there before they get crowded.

We could also grab a bite to eat and then do a cruise up to Sarasota, through St Armands, and a couple other spots.

We had a good time at the mini-meet yesterday at Hooters in Fort Myers. It was great to finally meet Keith (Blazzin1) and Wendy!

Robert, we did discuss Sharky's and if it's OK with you guys we would love to come up on Saturday, 31 May. I believe Sharky's opens at 11:30am; so if we get there at 11, we should be able to secure parking with the manager's assistance. What do you and the other Tri-County Tampa people think? (Kevin...where are you???) If things work out, it should be a real fun day

When we got home yesterday afternoon, my sister came over and presented a present to me. Normally I don't go in for this sort of thing, but this guy is special:

She made the bear and chose the color scheme to match my car. Pretty neat and here's what makes it special:

Also, we ran into Jim's wife on the way home and she mentioned Jim might be a little under the weather today after yesterday's rock and roll event at Fenway Park, South. I hope he recovers soon

I am going to contact Sharky's tomorrow to see what the options are. The thing about Sharky's is that the menu has changed over the years as well as the food/staff and personally I don't think it is as good as it use to be. If you all still want to proceed with it, then it is not an issue. A better restaurant that is on the intercoastal is Pops, which is in Venice, but parking would be an issue with more then 20 cars as it is a smaller facility/parking lot. If you guys wouldn't mind driving just a little bit further, we could do something on Siesta Key, there is a bunch of restaurants that is walking distance from Siesta Beach, or we could do St. Armands, which they have the Old Salty Dog, which has good food, as well as a pretty decent parking lot. Like I said I will call Sharkys tomorrow and see what the deal is, if you want me to check out any places let me know.

Siesta Key has the following restaurants: Daiquiri Deck, The Hub, Siesta Key Oyster Bar, Gilligans Bar and Grille

St. Armands has the following: Daiquiri Deck and The Old Salty Dog

Let me know whats set up. I won't be available weekends of May 17 or June 5th as I'll be in ohio. Another time we should be able to make it

I've been to all of these places and they are great, but no matter where they all will have parking issues due to the location. I always take the Harley to siesta and St Armand, always front row parking ;-)

Yeah, that is why I was either leaning towards Sharky's due to the larger parking lot or Old Salty Dog, which also has a dedicated parking lot and both are right on the water.

Are you saying you will be gone May 17 through June 15th or just the two weekends?

[flyer08]

Just those two weekends. It's the 5th June not 15th

Looking to buy a Beater for a Second car... Price looks right on this one...

It looks like Saturday, 31 May, would work for everyone. I suppose not all of us are going to run out and buy Harleys so we can get the parking perks that Scott enjoys; so we'll have to find a place for the Camaros.

We'll defer to you guys because you know the area much better than we do. So far, from what I saw on the Internet, Sharky's looks fine... The website for Old Salty Dog (http://theoldsaltydog.com/) sucks, but if you guys like that place you won't hear any bitching from the SWFL guys.

Still sounds a bit over priced for a ford.
