I haven't had those ribs in over 2 years now. I'm due. There might not be any left after Joe and I are done with them .

Me and the missus will be there barring any changes in our calendar.

Kevin! Can we get Crevier to locate and bring an E70?

Great to hear that you'll be there. I don't know if they can get an E70 by then but I'll ask. I do know that they'll be bringing a Carbon Black 4.4 though.

Southwest has a huge hub on Ontario, Ca. Ditto for Burbank, Orange County (Is that John Wayne Airport), and LAX. It looks like Ontario (ONT), which is on the east side of greater LA, is the closest.

Edit: Palm Springs (PSP) is actually THE closest, it looks like Expedia has some offerings via Salt Lake..

Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is right in the area. It's super convenient and an easy airport to get in and out of. It's basically a regional airport that is "international" because you can fly to Canada from there. Ontario is usually a little cheaper and SW flies into ONT and not PSP, it is about an 1.25 hours away. I usually fly out of PSP and pay a little more just to avoid the drive and stress of traffic/missing my flight.

Hotels are aplenty here. We've got everything from Motel 6 to The Lodge (formerly the Ritz Carlton). This is a tourist area so there are lots of hotels. FYI: Palm Springs is pretty cool but it's a little off the beaten path from Indio/Palm Desert/Rancho Mirage. I would recommend staying in the more central area of Palm Desert or Rancho Mirage. The Marriott Desert Springs or Marriott Rancho Las Palmas are good. There is a Westin in Rancho Mirage. Those are just some ideas. I'll keep thinking....

I just looked at a brochure for a training I'm attending in Indian Wells and it reminded me of a few more hotels.

• Hyatt Grand Champions Resort and Spa
• Renaissance Esmerelda Resort and Spa
• Miramonte Resort and Spa
• La Quinta Resort and Club
• Embassy Suites Palm Desert

I'm so excited! This is going to be a blast. We had such a great time in DC. I expect to see many smiling faces. Should be a great turn out. The first two female premier members will be in attendance. Photo shoot anyone

Who is going to get the longest distance traveled award? Where's Bozo? So.....who's in? Be there or be square. I want to meet all you guys.
