Smartin set this up and the info is on the BB http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f79/washington-dc-st-patricks-day-parade-sunday-march-15th-2009-a-53538/

Here is how to get to the staging area from the IHOP

After Parade there is a lunch is at Murphy's Irish Pub in Old Town. There isn't a parking lot for the pub so you need to find curb side parking in the area.

We can meet at the Wendy's parking lot. It is 40 minutes to IHOP from there. Gas up the night before and you won't have to stop right ChuckDoc?

There is a Shell next door, first one I see from my house in that direction.

See y'all at IHOP around 0830

ctyankee · « **Reply #7 on:** March 11, 2009, 09:37:58 AM »

What time do you want to meet at the Wendy's? This is the same one as last weekend, right?

Well if IHOP is 8:30 then it means we have to leave Wendy's by 7:50, or is 8:30 for breakfast and we really don't have to be there that early?

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2009, 11:09:40 AM »

That is why I asked Smartin what time she leaves IHOP for the parade. We have to be there to get the Permits... but not for breakfast if I wanted to eat somewhere else. 8:30 there means I'd have to leave my place around 6:30

John is correct, we would have to leave Wendy's about the 7:50

Andrew, yes, the same Wendy's

Looking like the weather will be ok

SHiNY · « **Reply #11 on:** March 13, 2009, 10:05:54 AM »

Hi guys, I was just wondering where the Wendy's is that you are meeting at. Reed and I may want to meet up there with you guys if its feasible.

Thanks!

Wendy's parking lot - Google Maps

Right here...

ctyankee · « **Reply #13 on:** March 13, 2009, 10:27:52 AM »

I picked up some decorations for my car yesterday. Have to figure out how to attach the garland. Any suggestions?

Thanks Joe, we actually won't be meeting up with you since it will be in the opposite direction from us. See you at IHOP!

Critterman · « **Reply #15 on:** March 13, 2009, 02:39:01 PM »

SkyHigh,
Yuse guys will be coming down 95 right? then going west around the DC beltway to 236? In Baltimore you can take either the 95 tunnel or the 895 tunnel, they will both get you back to 95 south of Bmore.

ctyankee · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2009, 05:52:12 PM »

Ok, so I am home now and with my router issues can't access the other forums and will have to rely on you guys for updates and info. I'll check back tomorrow throughout the day. Looking forward to a good day.

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #17 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:11:32 PM »

Sunday is supposed to be partly cloudy and no rain

Tomorrow weather forcast for Joe's Garage (Prep for Parade)

If you want to come over for a wax, it'll be a one card at a time in the garage. We are doing mine tonight...

Critterman - Sunday is supposed to be nice, you'll probably leave yours under the cover tomorrow. If you still want to come over. I'll be here!!!

Cheers · « **Reply #18 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:15:01 PM »

Will be there around 1000.

chuckdoc -- you coming or are we having the Brats at your place???? Need your surgeon hands in case we drop bolts again

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #19 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:16:19 PM »

Chuck is coming. I spoke to him on the phone.

Thanks Critter! We are coming down tomorrow (stopping at Solli's first because someone needs new mud flaps) and staying in DC with Reed's Mom. We would have to come all the way east to meet you guys. It is probably easier if we just meet you at IHOP. I think I checked and the Wendy's was 45 minutes from his Mom's house.

chuckdoc · « **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:37:09 AM »

Yup, I will be there at 10:45

I picked up some magnetic tape at Lowes. Hoping that will work. I have extra if you need.

ctyankee · « **Reply #23 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:12:22 PM »

Thanks. I have two packages of garland in case you want some.

Andrew

reedred · « **Reply #24 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:25:16 PM »

Not your issues, Andrew- no Skyroadster or Solsticeforum from here either.

Karen and I arrived in DC, despite a slight delay.

Do I need to update my avatar now?
