I'll probably come blaring up with loud crazy music too!

Music will also be blaring!

You darn kids with your rock roll musac, and your thumpity-thump-thump. :respect: You're ruining this neighborhood! I remember back in the day when I would walk 100 miles through sleat, fog and rain just to get to school, and bread was a only nickel. Alki was such a nice area. Time to go take my Geritol and watch my soaps...

Aw crud cmt489, someone reported that brawl you were in....

But, some say, it also brings bikers, unleashed dogs and the occasional fight.

You must be mistaken - her signature move is to drop kick with her Pradas! :)

We'll be driving up in the morning, so we're not able to join you.

And cmt489, I think a know a good insurance lawyer who can defend gcbryan and you for that brawl! gcbryan should come out ok - you on the other hand...you know the saying...A person who represents herself has a fool for an attorney...:cool2:

It is finally the 19th.... I can't wait to meet up with you all tonight at Alki.
I should be in a silver Forester. I hope to snag a spot in the parking lot.
I will try and keep my rebel rock and roll to a dull roar. :D

Looks like there will be a nice crowd at my place tonight. I am sure we will find enough bed, couch, floor space to accomodate everyone.
I have 2 queen's for those that don't mind sharing.
I also have a double hammock in the yard is you get the urge to sleep outside.
Enough space and tents to pitch a few if that is prefered.

I know there will be at least 3 pups joining us. All are very friendly and well behaved.. well almost..
2 are kind of young and full of energy but very sweet and lovable.

Please feel free to bring snacks and/or booze to share for the sleepover.
I do have several stores close by if we need to make a run for additional items.

See you all at Alki ~

Will be there, meeting at 6:30pm...

Drive a Silver/grey mid sized GMC Truck with Canopy, Dive sticker on the back

Let's see....
If I do bring my camera, we won't see any 6-gills
If I don't bring my camera, we will...
Tough call...

Hey Frank,

The Sixgills at Alki are much more exprerienced at messing up photographers. They'll show, and swim slowly towards you, perfectly framed. You, in the mean time will be mashing the shutter release madly, but nothing will be happening. No focus, no strobes firing, no joy. The shark will swim slowly by, laughing quitely at you, and just after it passes by, your strobes will fire for that lovely tail shot we all enjoy so much!

Smart sharks at Alki! Not that this has ever happened to me.... :D

I'll see you up there this evening, in a bright red chevy pickup with Cave Diving stickers all over it that just scream, "Steal Me"......
