Excellent. I’m going to put in for the April 4th off today. I don’t think DF will come along but I’m going to try my best to get there this year. Plus there’s a White Castle just north of the event. I’ve always wanted to go to one.

So, to follow up, I’ve got April 4th off and will be traveling up there that day. I don’t know yet if I’m going to spend two or three days at the show. I think the tickets are a little bit expensive for non-members. So I may do Fri-Sat, or Sat-Sun instead of all 3 days. Regardless, I plan to stay Friday and Saturday night and travel home on Sunday.

Best deal I can find for lodging is for the Residence Inn listed on the VCF listing. Through a Google Maps search I found it for $176.00 a night, which is a bit lower than VCF’s listed block price. There’s a bunch of 2-star motels and such around there, but almost all of them have terrible reviews, roaches, thin walls, etc.

I’d like to hear other views. Has anyone else found any deals?

I haven’t taken a look see yet. If I go, it will be probably Saturday only. I’d really like to finally meet Amiga Bill after receiving his WAUG emails for a few years!

Got my tickets. I’m doing Friday and Saturday.

Sweet! Wish they did this in DC. That would be better than I95 in MD

The beauty of being in Chesapeake is I can take Rte 13 up the Eastern Shore.

Also, I’m thinkingof doing a vlog-type thing of the trip. Want to do an interview about BBSing while we’re up there?

I love that drive!!! Especially on two wheels!

That sounds pretty cool. I hate the way I sound on recordings though! Ha! But I won’t succumb to my fears!

No bike for me but the Eastern Shore is a great day visit with my camera.

I feel the same way. I think most folks do.
