    Merlin in Moab!

    I just got off the phone with Merlin from St. Charles Isuzu. I told him how some members of this board wanted to show our appreciation for all that he has done over the years by hosting him in Moab next year; and he said that he and his family would love to join us. I know we haven't picked which hotel is going to be ground zero for 2009 (unless the Red Rock is still open), but what I was thinking we can do is get a couple extra rooms so he, his wife and 2 kids can hang out with us. He said that they will drive themselves to Moab, so we don't have to worry about transporting them there. Maybe pick up their dinner tabs a couple nights? Once I figure out where we are all staying, how much the room rates will cost, and how many people are willing to contribute to this good cause, so we can figure out what we need to raise to make it happen.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    BUMP!

    I'm calling Merlin tomorrow to tell him to make plans. Thanks to those that are going to contribute to getting him & his family out to Moab. I'm not certain if he will be wheelin' his own ride, or if they will need to hitch a ride with VXers that have the room... if that's the case, we will need volunteers, but can work that out later. We will post details as Moab gets closer. I know Merlin & his family will have a blast, and it will be cool to meet the man that has helped us so many times!

    Just a thought......If he's coming with his family, the Red Rock probably is not the best place. There are better places that are more kid friendly in Moab.
    Peace.

    As an aside, I would like to help Merlin & fam get there, but at the rate things are going for me lately, I'll be doin' pretty good to get ME there this year...

    Time to crunch some numbers!

    Looks like we have about 7 members willing to chip in to cover Merlin's trip to Moab. Before I start booking him a room, etc, etc, I need to know what everyone is willing to contribute. Rather than post it here, send me a pm so I can figure out what our budget is. Merlin might be willing to fly into SLC without his family, maybe we can have him fly into Grand junction so he can convoy with the bunch of Midwestern/Southerners/Texans (yes you're that special...).

    Anyway, I need to know what we are working with here. He would rather bring his family, but knows that we do have a budget on our end too, so he is willing to fly solo if necessary. Plus, then he can get WASTED! Put him up at the Red Rock with all of us alcoholics. :bgwg:
