Leigh and I have Fridays off so we'll be leaving Raleigh EARLY Friday morning. We wanted to do some sight-seeing of our own and make the most of the weekend since we'll be out there.
We're planning to leave Friday morning... If I'm driving almost 5 hours we're going to make the most of the weekend. Maybe we can meet somewhere for dinner on Friday night for dinner or at least drinks somewhere.

By the way the Friday night dinner/drinks was an open invitation for anyone going up Friday. Seems like a good idea especially for those of us (like me) who don't really know ANY of you guys.
I've got some great customers in the area and can get them to get me a list of places to check out Friday night.

I would assume if we do something Friday night everyone would be okay with like a sports bar / low key kind of place. That way it's more of a hang out than just sitting at a table... Also it might be better as people might be getting in at all times that night and they can just catch up with the group vs. feeling like they are intruding on an already started dinner.
So with that being said I suggest Barefoot Bernies - http://www.barefootbernies.com. It's a half mile from the hotel (walking distance if needed). My customer said "it's a good place". Also if you're a Steeler's Fan apparently you'll fit right in from the website!
Thoughts? Maybe 7:30ish?
Oh and they also have pint glasses for souvenirs...

Love the idea!!! I may not get in until 8:30, but I am up for a beer or two, if people are still there. And I am from Pittsburgh....so....I am definitely a STEELERS fan!!!!
Also, The pint glasses are made and on their way....estimated delivery date is October 5th....

Gerrard, I had placed the order very recently...looks like 22 of the 24 glasses are spoken for.....
After the order was placed, Speedrye spoke up first, then you Gerrard....FJames wanted one too...so, I can give up one of my 2 for someone to buy....maybe others that ordered 2 may put one up for sale as well? Anyone?Right now, If I only take one for myself, all three of you guys can purchase one. Beyond that, it will be personal negotiations.....

Just bring $4.50 with you to the OBX, you can pay me there. Does that sound ok? Wait, are you going to the OBX run?
Negative on OBX. A work conference and coaching a baseball game Friday night are preventing the trip this year. Shipping an option or just get it from you at the next meet-up?

I will check on shipping, or we could just do another Greensboro meet, or something between Raleigh and Greensboro....maybe Chapel Hill???

hey guys. i am still planning on attending, but i found a sink hole in a parkinglot with the front end of my truck today and now i have a bad shimmy in the front end. im hoping to get it looked at this weekend and praying there is no real damage and all i need is an alignment and a balance. i already have one bent rim that i moved to my spare so im hoping i dont have another one of those either. if i am still able to attend, my plans are to take the ferry friday and camp on the beach down by hatteras, so i would be missing the friday night get together. i would be driving up saturday for the run and camp again in hatteras saturday and head back sunday. if anyone else is looking to do the same, let me know and maybe we can meet up and camp together. ill come back to update once i find out if this little accident just put an end to the whole trip.

I'll be in Buxton from Thurs-Sun, if you're looking to do some fishing let me know. You can find me on the beach near the point. Just look for a blue or red Tacoma with bumpers and all kinds of mods....
