I got an email from Charles Overton the other day wanting me to help spread the word about the West Ga. Chapter of the Southeastern VW Club's "Bugs by the Fire" (a.k.a. "Bugs by the Burnout").  Here's the latest description from the Southeastern VW Forum:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Feb. 7 Meeting starts at 1:00 PM till ... Who is invited??? All area VW clubs and anyone who is up for a night of excitement and fun.

Come for an afternoon of fun and food at the home of Charles Overton's (back lot). We have room for a swap meet if anyone is interested and will have horse shoes and hot wheels races for the kids - young and old. Bring your chairs and hang out! We will cruise around town in the VW's in the afternoon and are planning to take a group shot - bring your smile!

Finger foods during the day and roasted wieners and marshmallows on the bonfire in the evening.

Primitive camping space is available for anyone who would like to stay overnight - bring your own tent. A porta-potty will be available.

And, if anyone wants to bring anything, get in touch with me or Renee (renee@stoffel.com). The Overton's will furnish for the most part, but anyone who wants to is welcome to pitch in.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I'm up for it . . . anyone else?  
 :cool:

Anybody know exactly where this is?

  I've got to get home from All-State East in Gatlinburg and take the Vee to be tech-ed that day.  We might be able to leave early afternoon, but I'm not sure about making it there by 1PM.

We discussed this at the meeting and decided to meet at the old Sam's Club on Lee Hwy @10:30a? and then meet, for the ones that live further south, at the 2nd Ringgold exit #348 FoodLion @11:00a?.  Not sure about the times but if it is 1 1/2 hours from Zen's then we would need to leave the FoodLion by 11:15a.  For those meeting at FoodLion, take I-75 South to the 348 exit.  Turn right off the ramp and it is at the second light on the right.

I'd be up for it and I think Misty might, too.

Off the subject, anyone need a Church Key?  It's at a locksmith on Dodds for $3.50.  It's an aftermarket (forget the name) , T shaped with a loop(not P) and has "for Volkswagen" printed on it.  The lady almost acted like she didn't want to sell it because she didn't think I knew what it was, or maybe she thought she'd have to cut it.  I had to quote chapter and verse as to what it was for before she was convinced!

I sent him an email last night saying there would be "about" 10 of us . . .

I'll be going.  Joy will be going if she doesn't have to work.

I think Dee and I will be going up just for the day, too. Kevin Wilson called me last night and I think he is going but he didn't say if he was going to stay overnight or not.

I think I've changed my mind.  I don't think I'll be camping either . . . not unless it turns spring between now and then!  :cool:

I got an email back from Charles tonight . . . he said to bring soft drinks.  They have everything else covered.

I'm afraid Misty and I are going to have to bail on this one, guys.     There's just no guarantee when I'll be done with tech day.  Sorry!
