Nice! I added you to the list. I think I have your email from the details Shawn sent out on the wine tour back in the fall. I am assuming you are meeting us in Columbus, but correct me if that is not the case.

Thanks Venomiss! Is there any update for what we should do for arrival at the hotel on Tuesday evening? My thought was that we could all just go straight to the parking garage because we need to park outside of the club parking block anyways.


For those joining us in Columbus or Huntsville, an email went out tonight (Wednesday 5/4) with additional details and a PDF file of the schedule and stops along the way. It went to all the Ohio members registered for NVE2 and the others that PM'ed me or emailed me. If you didn't get it let me know.

Haha. I bought space in a club member's car who is going solo.

And I have seen a Viper with a bike rack, so it's do-able!

I'd like to put the word out that VOA member Alex Louque who is sponsoring the car wash facilities at the 5th floor of the garage, is also offering $20 wash and window treatment; $50 wash, light tire dressing, window treatment and hand waxing. He is planning to offer these services Tuesday - Thursday.

I've scheduled for a Viper wash on Tuesday upon arrival, he'll be working 4pm - midnight that night. Have to call or text to schedule (504) 236-2646.
