Alrighty, everybody.

I know some of you saw my thread about this time last year:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=325834

I was looking to buy another car, and I wanted some seat time in more 911s, either as a driver or passenger.

During the course of that thread, I figure I rode in about 20 Pelican rides and learned a lot about our fantastic cars, and the interesting people who drive them.

SO WHY NOT DO IT AGAIN?

At the end of that trip, I flew to Kansas City and picked myself up a cherry '83 SC that I love. Sadly, there's no new car at the end of this tunnel for me (unless super-stardom strikes mid-tour!). However, the REAL experiment and the very best part about last time was meeting Pelicans from all over our great country and "PUTTING FACES TO THE NAMES." It was great fun, and I see no reason not to do it again.

So, please check out my band:

And you would like to come see a show, We'd love to have you.
More dates in TX and the midwest will come for March, as well. I'll edit this post as they come in.

HERE'S THE DEAL:
The first person to send me a PM and agree to DRIVE your Porsche to my hotel or venue during the afternoon and GIVE ME A RIDE will get at least 2 FREE TICKETS and (almost always) passes to the show. Show me your car, show me what you've done to it, and show me why you love it soooooo much. Educate me. I don't want to drive your car, I want to see you drive it so I can learn something.

Then, come to the show and we'll have a good 'ol time. PatrickB has requested more emphasis on "boobs" this year, and Moses has put in a bid for more "Jessica Alba look-alike" content. ALL PG-13, of course.

Actually, he wanted "More Jessica Alba Content", but I'm not sure I can swing it. She's staying home lately, what with the pregnancy and all.

In some cities where there's more than a few guys comin' down (LA, maybe SF or some other places) I'm hoping to organize a dinner-meet-up party or something, if there's enough interest.

In addition, I'm hoping to get a little more variety. Jeff Higgins' '72T was the only early car we had last year. SO this year, if you have a 914, 930, 944, 951, (935, 962, 904 LOL) or a 996 or 997, or even a shark, don't be shy! And if you sign up, don't worry. I won't make you drive your car in a foot of snow just to keep up your end of the deal.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? LET'S HAVE SOME FUN! thanks!
