Event Coverage Dixie Fried teaser

Bringing some taters and onions,store bought eggs,(2 dozen),olive oil,a grill,small bag 'o' charcoal.

Sounds like you got enough BTU's to scorch a horse!

It's your call on the stove,brother.

And you are correct on the "nickel bag" source.

 

Someone asked about Hotels in IM, figure I'd post the list

Heres a list of hotels I compiled awhile back. The Highland Inn is also a good bet and will give a discount if you mention Drive-Invasion/Dixie Fried!. If you really want a dose of Atlanta culture, stay at the Clermont Lounge/Hotel

We're stayin at the days inn airport east, forest park. Fri night. The pets are stayin there all weekend cause of drive-in policy. And we might be there a few extra days pending the hurricane.

 

< 24 hrs to go...

to much to do, and so little time to do it, this work thing I have to do Monday thru Friday is really cutting into my time to get ready, I hope I don't forget anything in my thrash to get ready and packed.

OK,
I'm bringing 24 eggs 4# bacon, boiled peanuts and meat skins, a 15" cast iron skillet, a 3 burner LP stove, large bag charcoal, and 5 gallons of water for clean up, etc. Also beer and bottled water for drinking. Paper plates, towels, and a folding table for the stove.
Anybody want me to bring anything else needs to speak up!
Dave

 

leaving tonight in the 39 . camping out in the car, its about as big inside as a motel room.

 

I know exactly how you feel!

 

What time are the Sock Fuckers planing on heading that way? Looking like Kirstie and I will be down in the Falcon. Still not sure if I have to work or not, but by about 9am tomorrow if they haven't called me, they probably won't.

 

I am gonna' shoot for being at the gate about 10 A.M.

 

I've gotten phone calls and PMs from a couple different HAMBers, plus phone calls from others over the last couple days about the NE Georgia Swap Meet.
The Swap Meet IS NOT THIS WEEKEND. Sunday is Aug. 31. The swap meet is NEXT Sunday, September 7--the first Sunday of the month.
One HAMBer called today and said buddies were coming up for Dixie Fried from Florida and were planning on going to the swap meet. Stevie was planning on loading the truck...
And I've had people not affiliated with the HAMB or Dixie Fried call about the show, thinking it was this weekend. I'm positive I'll have a couple confused calls from cell phones on Sunday morning.
So don't get up early, unless it's to grab another beer. "Breakfast" can safely be changed to "brunch."

This has been a public service announcement by the NE Georgia Swap Meet. We now return you to your debauchery planning, already in progress.

Okay guys, minor dilema.
The cake is ordered and will be ready for pickup in the AM.
The problem is I still have stuff to move so I won't be making it to DF.
Is there anyone on the NE side of the city that is going to DF that could meet me to take the cake down?
Boy Wonder has a ball game, so if Brad does go, it will be later in the evening.

HELP!!

Ron, have you left yet?
Wanna swing through Auburn in the morning?

 

Okay,
SNAFU has been fixed.
Thank you Rich!

 

Wow... I know this is way left field but... Does anyone want 3 kittens? or maybe less? I have 3 strays that I can't take care of. They are from the same mom, and I have no idea how old they are, but they seem to like my shop and that is not a place for cats. I feel really bad for them, but they need a home and it can't be mine.

 

There's a joke in there...but I just can't bring myself to type it.

 

Thanks for posting, Brad, and clarifying that info. Hope you come out to DF9 this weekend. Stop by the Road Kings tent and say hello.
Chad

 

how about u guys takin ALOT of pics

 

Well bad enough as a first timer, bringing a new roadster on a trailer 'cuz there's no tags or insurance on it, now I have to figure out where to take the birthday cake!!!

If you see an old red head in a flat red track roadster with a cake in one hand and the steering wheel in the other...please tell me where to go. Ups, that didn't come out right, did it.

 

Fill me in on the scoop. I from MB, we really don't have any traditional rod shows around here locally. Can you camp at the Dixie Fried? Next year I will be there 29 Tudor and all.

 

I'm coming in on 75 south....Which way should I hit 285 to avoid the lane closeures. 285 east around to 20 or 285 west down to 20?



I'm thinkin go like I'm heading towards Six Flags (which is 285 west) and then go east on 20 instead of west towards six flags. After that hit exit 60 A (Moreland Av) Then turn right on us-23 (ga-42 moreland av se)

Am I on the right track???

 

take 75 to 675 then 285 north or west (forget what it reads on the sign) then the 1st exit is moreland ave hang a right on moreland ave go about 2 miles and the star lite is on the right hand side

 

Just returned home from the drags @ Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, GA, and I'm getting ready to hit the sack (sack,not sock!). Picked up what I listed above today except I picked up 36 eggs instead of 24.
Look for a gray bearded old fart in an '03 Chev. Silverado Duramax, white in color, with a tool box in bed and CB antenna on toolbox.
If they turn me away from the roped off area, I hope they'll at least let me unload there or I'm gonna need lotsa help!
Dave

 

I'll help ya. Just got in. See ya'll in a few hours. Black and red 53 with louisiana plates.
-mike

 

Man Dave, you live the life! Wish I could have gone to the drags before Dixie! We will be at the liquor store in front of the starlight at 10am.

Mike - glad you made it in safe!

 

Morning yall!
Just got up, doubt I'll be there till 12:00 or so. as they ain't gonna let me in till then as I'm not a participant, just a spectator and hanger-on.
Wish I knew Don Holley's username (Ether also knows him). He left a message on my machine that he would be there in his '34 p'up. He's the guy I bought my '31 from.
Dave

 

We're in the huge castle sized tent on the back row. Lets all have a good time!

 

special thanks goes out to the Atlanta Road Kings for hosting such a great show! you guys did an awesome job putting on Dixie Fried 9. we had one helluva good time and will be back next year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah man! The show was great and maybe I'll even get to be there for both days next year. Good folks, tunes, cars, and food! Hell I even got a trophy on Sunday. I also heard another lucky HAMBer received some recognition at Saturday's pre-64 show. I wanna see the trophy!

 

I had no idea he was on the HAMB..Known him a long time! Striped his 34 saturday.
