POG TGO Shuttle Launch Rally updated info

[ajducote]

I went to the office and got a list of all the people who have made reservations and said they were part of POG. (listed below)

The big tent in the Rally lot is already spoken for by the other group in the rally lot during this time. So I have reserved a large building for all day Saturday 14 Feb. The building is near the rally lot and can hold 100 people. It is the only day I could get. So how about a pot luck about 4PM on the 14th? The rest of the day could be used for presentations or a non stop story telling, drinking, eating, socializing event.

Friday afternoon starting about 2 PM we will have an extended "Happy Hour" at our home for whomever wants to come. We are about 2 blocks from the rally park. This event is flexible so speak up if someone has a better idea.

I know some of these names are not spelled correctly. I copied them from the reservation printout without changes.

In the rally lot:
Bradford, Jamie
Bunch, Bill
Foster, Roger
Keller, Jim
Petree, Pete
Winchester, Jerry

On an RV pad somewhere in TGO:
Anderson, Mike
Chilcote, Tom
Dator, William
DeSilva, Richard
Finch, John
Gaidry, Tuga
Hann, Allan
Harris, Bruce
Horner, Paul
Jones, Larry
Lane, Jim
Lewis-Mathieu, Buck
Neff, Alan
Roberston, Ken (2 spots)
Smith, Dan
Tracey, Granvil

Andre:

Thanks for the update and the list of folks that are signed up from POG. I recognized quite a few, but looks like a number of newbies too!

Looking forward to meeting you and of course seeing everyone else. We will gladly bring something for the potluck. POG potluck meals have always been great!!

Quite a turnout - must be the Florida Sun?

Saturday sounds good to us....we'll be bringing somethin'

Do we have a best guess at what day the shuttle launch will be? I have heard both the 12th and 14th.

Also, do you need to call and bitch at the TGO folks to get a regular space? When I called them in September, they didn't have any room and I think Jack, Mike and I were the only ones going. The chick said they would move our spot as space became available, but that obviously isn't the case.

The nasa web site says the 12th right now. It can always change at the last minute.

Billy and Cindy at the office are the best to work with. They did tell me that everything is booked for now in the park. This weekend I will check with a few owners who rent their spots and see if anything is available.

Andre, Pot Luck sounds great to us..Thanks for all the work you are doing .

Gary, I see you have two post already, you had better pace yourself or you'll pass Jon up!

Hi Gary & Dani,

We look foward to meeting you @ TGO. I'm not sure what our site number will be, but I can assure you that we will be the only Newell there with POG.

I've never been to TGO but it seems to be a pretty big place. We'll try to find you guys if you don't find us first.

Watch out for the Taco Twins; they like to play tricks on newbies!

It's a big place all right..... needed my GPS just to find my way around!
