:w00t: I'm planning on attending (short drive from Carrollton). I believe 1HotPony will be showing his car as long as the schedule holds up for his new paint job.

I'm signed up too. I hope to pick up the cruise in Mustang Oklahoma. Should be meeting up with Squid somewhere in Texas I believe. Maybe we can have a GS get together for pics and stuff. That would be cool.

Has any made reservations yet? Maybe everyone could stay in the same general area. I can drive over on a Saturday or Sunday in Feb. or early Mar. to scope out a good location where everyone could meet for lunch or dinner / photo shoot.

From what I see on the site now would be the time to start making reservations. If you sign up they send you a package that tells what places they have discounts for rooms.

You really should go ahead and make reservations. The Hotel I'm staying at is the Homestead Suites which across the street from the Host Hotel. Here's their # 1-205-967-3800.

I'm driving in Thursday night after work so I can't make the cruise. We need to figure out a way for everyone to hook up before the weekend is over. It would be great meeting everyone and getting some pics of us and our stangs together.

I'm open to what ever works best for everyone else.

Is anyone other than 88foxbody coming in from the east on I-20? Thought we might be able to join up for the cruise to Birmingham Thursday.

Is everyone still planning on attending the 45th anniversary show in Birmingham? I know the economy sucks rotten eggs but I'm still going to make the trip! I still want to get a group photo of all of our Stangs together. Shout out if your still planning on going.

I had planned on going but something has come up that is going to prevent me from making any road trips until at least late summer or early fall. I hope everyone has a blast and takes lots of pics.

We definetly need to hook up, I want to see your car in person. My wife and I want to build a fox body next, we had an 85 GT when we got married and she wants another one. I really like what you've done with yours. It will be there I hope?!?

I'm not bring the GT, it's to far of a drive for it. Way to loud, I don't think I can stand it that long... lol I'm going to drive my Saleen out there, it's real quiet and has A/C if I need it. But we can still meet up with each other out there, you know what they use to say, be there or be square, lmao......

Well I'd like to meet you anyway. I'm getting the Stang ready. I'm gonna trailer it (sorry:nailbite:) cuz it only gets 10 mpg!!! Not a trailer kinda guy but it's too far for 10mpg.

I don't blame you for putting it on a trailer, if I were bring the GT I'd do the same thing. I'll be parked with all the other Saleens, so I've been told. I'll be the fat guy with glasses and a ponytail, lol. Oh and a gotee. I guess that's how you spell it......:smack:

I saw more Stangs today then I've probably seen collectively in my entire life. What an awesome gathering of Mustangs and their owners.

Does anyone have 3MegaPixel+ pictures that could be emailed to me to be used in the May/June 09 issue of Domestic Driver? Also could anyone write up a few paragraphs about the happenings of the event? We will be sure to give you credit.

Thanks!

I've got plenty of HQ pics - you can see them in the lobby under MCA 45th, or click on this picture and it'll take you to my flickr site. You're welcome to use anything you want... just let me know so I can see it. :)

Click on my photostream and you will see a sidebar that has a link to all of my posted images for the 45th. By clicking on the images, you will get an option download the high res originals through the "all sizes" link above the image.

Email me if you have any questions.

Awesome. Email me and let me know what name you want me to give credit to. Also we will still need someone to write up a few paragraphs about the happenings of the event. Usually event coordinators already have a press release for events but we will need to have a attendee write one up. If you can't write it maybe you can suggest someone who could?
