I'll be at Motel 6 all weekend, actually. I mailed my bottles up a little while ago, so Roy already has them.

I've edited Glenn's post, because I need him to pick up Saturday and Sunday's bottles, not just Sunday. :) Thanks Glenn!

If I edit Andy's post about editing Roy's 2 posts about editing my post, does the universe implode?

Possible. However the crystal ball says you'll get shorter pours in the near future if you undertake certain actions.

I'm sure there will be a corked wine or two that will result in donations that make up for the lack of volume in other wines

Regarding transportation: I'll be coming out from Seattle/Eastside on both Saturday and Sunday, and my small pick-up truck can hold 1 extra passenger comfortably and two additional small to medium sized passengers with only moderate discomfort. It looks like most people are staying in Issaquah, so Saturday shouldn't be problematic, but I'd be happy to grab anyone who needs a ride from Issaquah to North Bend on my way to Lisa and Vic's on Sunday.

I just saw the Holiday Inn dinner menu just to get a feel for it. It will certainly work, with burgers and steaks, fish and chips and a few fancier dishes too. If anybody is wanting to see what they have ... please email me.

Directions to Lisa and Vic's home will be mailed out in a few minutes.

One participant dropped out today, but as I was putting in the bottle for him, it will still be at the tasting.

Will update the front page too.

The Motel 6 is fine. I'll post again later this afternoon once I have a better idea of when I'll be able to get down there, but it will be some time between 5 and 6 for sure.

If you see or talk to Don, have him do the same. Better yet, leave them all together.

Brad already mailed his, so the only person we haven't heard from is Eric.

I'm not coming, but if there are random VPs to be had at the front desk of a hotel, maybe I will :wink:

*waves hand*
This is not the Eric we're looking for. :wink:

I'm home from work so can head down to the hotel(s) at any time. Since we still haven't heard from Eric Ifune I'll give it some time before heading over to pick up everyone's bottles for tomorrow and Sunday!
