We do not have all the details hammered out - and by details I mean anything.

You have to admit that it's generally a bad idea though...
How many people actually HAVE the willpower?

[Hellfish]

Plenty. Less than there should be, but more than you think.

I've been wanting to try that place for a long time, but crossing the park at night can be, shall we say, intimidating. Same reason I rarely make it to the Clipper.

A friend and I were talking this morning, and I mentioned the HCP was still going to happen, at the new location. He said he just got the flyer yesterday, and it stated it was going to be at the same location, the fair grounds. We argued about it for awhile, until I find out his flyer came from Kents Big bar listing the shows they were doing this year.

It should be fun this year. After reading the post on the HAMB about the show moving to Decatur, someone PM'd me asking if the Red Cent in Morris would let his underage kids in to see the bands at the Pileup.

Here is one I keep updated in spring and summer if you are ever out this way...

Next time I'm in Wheeling visiting Grandma's, I'll look to see if SuperDog's (part deux) is planning any cruise nights. As side note, I was drooling over it as we drove by on the way to the bike show last weekend. It was packed. Mmmm.

carry your own sock filled with quarters then its an even match.
oh yeah, then there is that whole hand gun thingy...

maybe drag an old electrolux behind you and walk with a limp... muttering softly, that work for a co-bartender of mine back in DC when he'd leave at nite to head to 'the hill'

seriously hilarious, but it worked.

The DeadEnd Cruisers had contacted Superdawg months ago to see if they are doing any cruise type events and they are not open to having a cruise night due to the fact that they do not have extra parking. Their parking spaces is their dining area thus cars parked for too long means less business. They did do a nice job on the place though.

Well, you could always pick a night there, tell everyone and just hit it randomly.

That's what their Corporate Office said however they do not want people to stay too long in the booths. Hmmmm...... Look for an invite to come soon.

[Hellfish]

There are plenty of vintage restaurants around that aren't quite as busy, or as popular with cruisers as SuperDawg. Find a more accomodating place? Of course, other places won't have giant cavedogs on the roof...
