I recieved an email from weelstag on the NTBA. he basicly wanted to know who I was and what I was trying to do. I have yet to hear from him.

As far as I'm concerned, sometime in mid September, like the weekend of the 20-21st would be good. It will be after the Labor Day holiday. If anyone else has better dates, please respond.

The thing is, this would be kinda impromptu. That could cause a minor problem. See, when a group let's a city know they are having a "function", things have to be set up. Like cops to block streets, crowd control, etc. What this is going try to pass for is a bunch of hot rodders who just happened to show up in the same general area, at the same time, on the same day. It may or may not work. Doing it this way, we won't have crowd control or police to block streets and contol traffic, but it's not like we'll have 200 cars there, so I think we'll be okay.

So, I'm tossing it out there. There is a resturant on the Sea Wall called, The Spot. The Sea Wall is just what it sounds like, a wall that seperates the major land from the gulf. It has a 4 lane road that runs for about 5 miles or so and is where the major beach area and hotels are. I'll can there about 10am on Saturday the 20th. If anyone else happens to show up... cool! You may be able to spot me and my T Bucket on their web cam that faces the Sea wall. Here's the link to the cam:

In the time between then, we can come up with stuff to do. I'm easy as far as stuff like this goes. My main desire is to just meet everyone and hang out. I don't care what we do after that. Google Galveston and you'll see that there are a ton of cool things in the area. We'll think of something.

There are several good hotels on the Island and a few motels. What you chose is up to you. Keep in mind, the more you pay, the better the rooms and services. Some of you, depending on how far you drive, may want to stay more than one day. that is up to you. I probably will, depending on how many people say they are going to come down.

Again, this is the early stages and things could change, but I will be there and I'd love it if some of you could make it. REMEMBER, the date I mentioned is not in stone. If you guys come up with a better one, we can vote on it or something.

I am very familiar with Galveston. I grew up in Lake Jackson/Freeport.

My mom still lives in Lake Jackson. (about 40 minutes from Galveston). We go to Galveston each time we go for a visit.

We'll probably just go there, and then head on over to Galveston.

September 20-21 would be a GREAT weekend for me, as it would be mine and the wifes 24th wedding anniversary.

I think this would be fun, even if we only had 10 + buckets show up. (of course more would be AWESOME!)

Anybody that wants can PM me.

Guys! Go to the webcam and behold the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico as viewed from the seawall! Imagine all of our Buckets parked in front of the resturant and all of us enjoying some fresh crabs and blackened redfish. Priceless.

Also, this does NOT have to be a T Bucket only thing. Bring what ya got and let's just have fun.

Here is a video of a recent trip to Galveston by some of the local HAMBers. I missed it working overtime, but I won't ever miss another!
