Count me in as being excited too! It will be our first time at the Dragon and we (me, my wife and Jac [MINI]) and we're ALL excited!

I too have a counter, but it is a Widget for our Mac designed by someone on NAM (sorry forget where I found it... )

Can't wait to check out those Twisties! :impatient

Gotcha. I guess mine would be the same as I am leaving on Tuesday the 29th also. I need to ask someone from MO to stop in at Excel Bottling in Breese IL. I think that it would be on the way for some folks.

Excited doesn't describe it. At this point in life nothing gets me excited , except going to the Dragon for "MOTD 08". I even look forward to the 12 hour drive down I81. I have all rhe pictures from last year on my computer in work and they rotate tru as the screen saver. Some times I find myself just sitting there looking at them.
Yes, excited does not describe it. :impatient

Snow Day

I had the itch so bad I was thinking of making a quick run up to North Carolina this morning to ride the Dragon and come right back this evening .
Well when I got up this morning I found that mother nature had some other plans for me today .

Breese isn't too far from my point of origin in IL, what all would I be picking up for you?

STANDING BESIDE MYSELF !!!

I am very excited....BUT. Since they've added an extra day to the event, I need to know exactly the start day and the end "evening". I am scheduled to stay April 30th through the Sunday and leave Monday. Will there be any events on Sunday, or am I staying an extra night for no GOOD reason?
I am in a NEED TO KNOW mode.
Thanks for any update I may get.

No good reason? You'll have the Dragon largely to yourself after the rest of us leave. Is that not good reason enough?

Generally there are no events on Sunday, unless you count Midnight on the Dragon which happens Saturday night / Sunday morning. Personally, I'll be sleeping in on Sunday and checking out at a comfortable time.

Counters... are we in the double digets yet? :D
