2nd annual LXCentral/Briggs Dodge M&G show!!!

[Thunder]

Just got off the phone with Briggs. He said he was sorry as well for not thinking about hotel space. We have moved the event to May 12th from 11am to 3pm. He also said he is going to contact his superiors and have them help make this show worth coming to. Now I'm not sure what that will mean, but it sounds good to me! Also, I was told we will have use of a building next to where we park in case we want to do a swap meet thing.

2Cav, your time into the club is irrelevant. I welcome any and all input from all members. I just ask is that if your related to me you don't post that I'm whining.

Now that we have moved the event up a week, rooms should be cheaper and plentiful. If you want a really nice hotel might I suggest the Capitol Plaza Hotel. That place is sweet, not sure on the price. Website is www.capitolplazahoteltopeka.com and is located at 1717 SW Topeka Blvd.

Guys,

I just talked to Dena at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka. They asked why I was coming and when I explained it was for a car club event and asked if I could get a rate. She said yes! The block will not be setup until Monday around lunch, but for now they are going to block of 10 rooms (for now, more if we need it) for both May 11th and 12th.

Normally their rooms go for $98 a night, but they said they could give anyone in the club (LX Central) a room for $74 a night! they will be sending me a link on Monday when they get it all setup, and I will post it as soon as I get it. Wait to reserve your room till next week and you can get a deal!

As soon as we have the link you won't have to call in or anything, you will be able to reserve your room at the special rate online! Like I said, I will post the link as soon as I get it on Monday.

Beans to you 2Cav. We may get a room and get into town on Friday. (sorry Uncle Randy)

That place is awesome, of course it doesn't hurt to have a nice bar and restaurant in the atrium!!

[2Cav]

I am almost always down with a nice bar!

Coolest bar I've ever been to is this place down in Bricktown Oklahoma City called Tapwerks. 212 different kinds of beer on tap. It's amazing! I spent many a nights while down there on business washing the stress of the day away! If you like to try different kinds of beer, it's hard to beat. Not found anything even close in ole St Louis.

Sounds like Friday night could be as much fun as Saturday afternoon.

For the record, I was asked if I got a free room for setting up the block, and the answer is no, I did not. If there were a free room I think it should go to one of the organizers, not me. I was just trying to help out but making sure there were a few rooms for us, and trying to get us a rate if I could. I was able to accomplish both those goals, and did not ask for, or get anything else. The question was asked innocently, I just don't want anyone to think I was trying to get over, when that is as far from the truth as it could be. I was really just trying to help out.

Just to parse all that info down a bit, the really important information is:
