I'm a most-likely not, due to the distance and the proximity to finals here...
Bye Bye:

With plans brewing for Heather's birthday party that weekend, we will definitely be down for this, but she will have no idea what will be waiting for us when we get home
Looks like I have some work to do to either the SSEi or the SE before then!

Pat what time were you and your crew going to be headed out to Michigan? I was looking to leave in the early hours Friday morning from here to be in Detroit Friday afternoon. I usually take the route thru WV just because it's fun, but it's quite possible I could catch up with you guys and join the convoy, it'd save about an hour off my trip coming thru Pa. as well.

I would definitely like to bring the '03, and is probably what we would bring, but between the hood herpes, gas door rot, and banged up fender and front door.... not to mention it really has nothing to show off other then being somewhat clean for almost 250,000 miles

I wouldn't mind meeting with you guys (Pat and Will and crew) and joining the convoy (since you'll obviously be coming through Ohio), but I don't think I can get the day off work, so I wouldn't be able to leave until later in the evening.
I'm in the process of looking for a copilot for the trip, so I guess to update everyone, I am still on the maybe list.

Re: W-body/ GM3800 gathering at belle isle May 11,2013
In case anyone hasn't already seen via Facebook: The meeting location has changed, however the date is still the same. They've moved the location to Memorial Park in Royal Oak Michigan. The address is 31050 Woodward Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48073
It looks like it's only a few minutes away from Bell Isle so it doesn't seem like it's a big change at all. They're saying it will make the meet much more successful due to an ownership dispute at Bell Isle among other things.
I can't wait for this!

It's about a half hour from Belle Isle, and Royal Oak/Birmingham is a MUCH better area. That's just 5 blocks away from where everybody usually gathers with their cars every weekend on Woodward anyway. And I go there almost every weekend during the summer. It gets pretty interesting over there as the sun goes down.
Also I will edit the title of the thread.

I'm still going, being that I live 15 minutes away. I wonder if there's going to be a convoy of Bonnevilles that might do a drive-by that we can join? Anybody coming up I-75 or I-94 would be only a few minutes out of the way.
