Too bad it's not in Houston again. DH just got his shop running again after a year sabbatical. Of course, there may be plans I don't know about...

I'm planning to go. I've got this "thing" about getting a steel bike, possibly a Gunnar. They're supposed to be there, per their web site. Plus I want to see bikes from Vanilla, Landshark, Waterford, ... um, actually just about every other builder too. Should be fun.

Be sure to bring towels, I'm sure the builders would appreciate us wiping the drool off their frames....

• Friday - Noon to 6 PM, reception at 7 PM
• Saturday -10 AM to 6 PM, Seminars all day at various times
• Sunday - 10 AM to 5 PM, Awards presentation at 3 PM
When are you folks planning to go?
At the moment it looks like Sunday might be out for me - I might have to travel for work that day.

I think we were planning Saturday also because we had originally been planning on the Tour of the Unknown Valley on Sunday.
Still have to figure out what to do that day. I need one last big-ish ride before Solvang (my only hope of keeping up with yellow and Killer Bea.
Why thank you, ma'am. I love spending other people's money. Originally Posted by aka_kim

I think if you drool on it, you have to buy it. But, since no one else will want a bike that's been drooled on, you'll get it at a discount! Originally Posted by snapdragen

Spud Bar delivery schedule
Here's our plan:
Amtrak is supposed to deliver us to the Diridon (or as snap pronounces it, the Deerdawn ) Transit Center at 8:50. If we're on time we should be able to grab a VTA bus to the convention center for a 9:12 am delivery. We'll have to wait 30 mins if Amtrak is late.
The show doesn't open until 10. We have not pre-purchased tickets but I'm not going to stress about it.
Is there a coffee shop or good hang-out spot somewhere nearby? Or is anyone else arriving early? Perhaps the Jo and Lee Mobile (aka the Elementobile)?

We'll be there, would you like to head out for breakfast someplace ? We could pick you up at the Amtrak station.
Snap, Kim, are either of you interested in a pre-show breakfast in San Jose, perchance? Anyone else?
We'll take the subaru instead of the element, the subaru is much better for passengers.
Just curious, do you have to take such an early train?
(Or is the schedule such that the early train is the only one, or the only practical one?)
