Hello Jwitzer, good to see you back. I think a caravan sounds great since I have never been to Lakeland before and you know the Ale house so well. Barleyhoppers is a good meet spot since everyone knows where that is. Is that really an hour drive from Brandon? We will have at least 4 cars driving together.

Raymull, you going to show up with that new exhaust or what! My car is still faster....

Mantis,

Google says 42 minutes (and suggests taking 60 instead of I-4).

I know the Tampa Ale House, but not the Lakeland one.

Happy to meet at Barleyhoppers. Who'll be there? 4:00 or no?

4 sounds good to me. So far, at this Brandon meet spot we will have: you, me, 2ndShift, Sparky, & EvilMiata (are you reading this?). Hopefully we can get a few more locals to come with us.....

Tremor, do they have Guinness on tap?

Mantis,

Tampa Ale House prides their Guinness pour, so there's hope there won't be another Guinness gaff...

Do you want to plan an I-4 or SR60 route? SR60 looks a bit faster, but I've never gone that way...

Jwitzer, should the tampa people meet at 5 instead of 4. The dinner reservations aren't until 7. I think 4 may be a bit early for the working people to meet the caravan....what do you think?

I motion that the Tampa group meet in Brandon @ 5pm instead of 4pm. That may give the guys autocrossing in St. Pete enough time to meet up with us. Plus, it will make things easier on the significant others (at least in my case).
