Thankfully, you've got good taste in shirts, too. Always fun when you got lots of folks wearin' Hawaiian Print shirts. It is the tradition of Ugly Shirt Friday, after all. Wink [;)]

Prolly about 2 1/2 hours from Blythville. The base is in Jacksonville.

Sadly, mine can't. We were thinking about driving up on Wednesday, going to Six Flags Thursday during the day and visiting w/my friend Larry Wherthey in the evening. I'd then drive Wife and The Kids up to Cincinnati to visit w/some friends 'til Monday. I'd come up in the morning, spend the day/night and then drive back on Tuesday. However, Wife is a teacher and can't get away from school for either of those weeks. Sad [:(]

Oh, well. Just means I can be my usual, crazy self and not have to worry about making a - God forbid - emergency trip up to Ohio with a hang over. Blush [:I]

And where might home be? Just curious to know. I'm currently deployed - and thank God that the COMM Nazi's haven't cut off this site! - but am currently stationed in Arkansas. It's a good 6 to 8 hour drive, depending on how I hit traffic in the various large cities I have to drive thru (Memphis, Nashville and Louisville, itself, for the most part). It's a nice little drive, not too much traffic 'cept in the large cities and I do my best to avoid the Heck out of it whenever possible!

Sadly, no one in my immediate area travels to WF, so I have to drive it alone. Would be kinda kewel to have someone to swap out driving with. But then, I'd have to compromise on both music and the volume it's played! I kinda like cruising along w/some Alternative cranked up to 11. Evil [}:)]

Unless the unforseen pops up, I'll be there myself. It's about a three hour drive from home so I don't know why I've never been. I hope to rectify that this year.Wink [;)]

Same here! I almost didn't go this year, but am glad I did. I had a blast!

I don't plan to ever miss WonderFest again if it's at all in my power. I highly recommend it to all who've never been before.

Would love to go one day but just too far to travel.
Limited to one good trip a year. This year was IPMS Nats.
Next year is Disney.

Anyone in our little Sci-Fi community planning on attending Wonderfest 2005?
