Hope you find some help. It looks like I'll be in Aspen for the bike ride that weekend. Right now I'm planning on heading to Aspen on Friday so I'm not sure I'll be able to even get to the show. If anything changes I'll let you know but this is just not a good weekend for me to be available.

Bummer Carla! Have a great time! We'll miss you!

Kamala/Heidi, sorry been out of touch, tough last few months. I will be able to help on Friday and Saturday. Do you need a ride from the airport? What about accomodations?

Hi Heidi, I can work Friday and Saturday all day. Just let me know if you need help with setup, what time and if I need to bring anything.

Hey Kathy ... for helping! We certainly need it! And yes we can use help with set up on Friday. I'm guessing we should shoot for noon or so. Probably should grab a bite to eat and then set up...but need to get there early to prevent last minute issues and/or parking problems. This show is heavily attended by the local dive community so the early bird gets the worm!

Can you pm or email me your cell number? Heidi too? I lost everything in my phone a few months back so I no longer have your number.

So what have the temps been like? I guess its going to be my first taste of cold weather all year.

[little mermaid]

Hi, temps should be in the mid to high 70's. No rain expected. Supposed to beautiful fall weather. Let me now if I need to bring some warmer clothes for you I will pm you my number.

[WreckWench]

I should be ok...thanks so much for the weather update! Wonder what the lows will be?? In the latter case a blanket and fleece jammies will solve that problem!

[little mermaid]

In the low 50's. Fleece jammies will do the trick.

[uwfan]

That and furnaces if necessary.

That and furnaces if necessary.

lols, some of us haven't turned off the AC yet!!!

[WreckWench]

Too funny George... will you make the show?

[georoc01]

Too funny George... will you make the show?

Yes I will definitely be there Friday, and maybe Saturday am. I have to work Friday during the day, but I do work downtown so getting over there will be easy.

Forecast as of this morning, its for high of 75 on Thursday and in the low 80s Friday-Sunday.

[WreckWench]

Sounds great! What size is everyone t-shirt wise helping out? I'll bring you all a new shirt!
