**Omni** said he’d give me a ride there, and I _think_ that meant in his car. 😃 I may have to fly back from LA to make it, but what the hey? I don’t get to hang out with **Flyp** nearly enough. ---

> [@](#): > > \*porcupine \* > **thinksnow** , do you live in IL? Nope. I’m living in Louisville for a few more months, but I actually live in Columbus, OH. I’m all about travelling, though, so I’d probably be willing to cruise out that way for a big enough event. Anyone up for golf in the morning? ---

They are about 2 hours apart, if I remember correctly. You’d take 55 from St. Louis right to Springfield. Come join the fun. 😃 Tibs. ---

I’m gonna be there. I have 4 days of vacation I have to use or lose before the end of April anyway, so if they don’t schedule me for that day off, I’ll just burn up some of those vacation days. BTW, if you’re new to St Louis and want to learn your way around, email me, I grew up here and currently live in North County. ---
