I think we may know a couple of green beverage joints. My son works at Darcy's Pint, a local bar/restaraunt, and popular hangout. I'll inquire as to whether they'll take a reservation.

I hope it warms up enough between now and then so I can polish my rims! They look terrible!

But Dino's cork is still there, so that's a good thing!!!
I'll be the only corked Sol!!!

BTW, I'm working on mrambo for this. He doesn't want to commit! But if the weather is nice and there isn't anything else going on, he may head over for this too!!

I'm gonna send out a newsletter and I'll make sure I mention this in it. They are on my e-mail list. I gotta go into work today anyway, so I'll write something up there!

If we don't hear anything out of them, I'll send them a separate e-mail!

Anybody have a way of maybe making some small banners with

SkyRoadster.com

and

Solsticeforum.com


on them as a way to promte the sites



If not I guess I'll have to put this on my car

[ihawk95]

OK, I didn't go into work today. Polished the rims instead. Not my best rim job either, but I think they will look good enough for the parade. Sad news to report...the paint is already peeling on my calipers and the chrome is peeling from my rims! Not cool!!

The calipers will be an easy fix as the paint is only peeling near the top and bottom of the calipers. It's fine where the decals are! So I should be able to repaint them no problem.

I'll just have to deal with the rims for now. If they get too bad, I'll just put the original rims back on the car.
