Back from HAN - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got to say I had fun. Met some cool board members, even though they gave me sht about what color i wanted to paint britney. No photos this time, wasn't in the mod. I also got something to say.

If a hotel is cheap, theres a reason why.

Found out my hotel was on "whore street" and i got the enjoyment of being woken up early, twice, in the morning by crack addicts looking for "lil flip". Always nice to know a dealer lived in a hotel, especially in the hotel room i was staying in. It was 200 bucks for 3 nights, no room service. Maybe next time I'll throw in the extra 100 bucks for another hotel.

Please note I had a bat in the room to pratice my batting

Hope to make it next year.............with Britney. Hold that against me guys.

Hey Alex, glad you had fun! I had fun as well. Got to meet JunkyardJohn (John), Blue4x4 (Scott), Frost89434 (Jim, I think), Alexis (same) and I rode down to the event with Frenchblue 72 (Luke). Great group of guys, I'm looking forward to next year and I will be taking my truck so you had better do the same Alex!

Alex, on a side note, I can't imagine that one of the board members would give you a hard time about what color you are going to paint Brittney! Tell me who it was and I'll kick his a$$ for ya!

Well??? Did you get any practice in???????

Alexis · 08-08-2004, 11:08 PM

hey pont it was some dude, don;t worry about him. SO.... when are you going to paint your truck red.

I will know at the end of the month or early september if I'm going. I think I call in a hotel next month. Also to add to the motivation I think I'll sign britney up for next years show and cruze.

Mudder - I wish I did on the last person who showed up. It was some guy and every word he spoke he got closer to the door. Didn't have the bat in hand but i wasn't to worried if he tryed to rush the door. I ended the conversation quick and he left.

Well, sorry I could not meet up with everyone. Did ya get down to that crazy orange truck parked in front of Circus Circus? I liked most everything about it but the front end. The grill work reminded me of disco era vans and such...otherwise I thought the vehicle rocked.

Speaking of crack addicts... last year I had the "fun" of trying to divert my 4 year old sons attention away from a pair of prostitutes who were yelling and carrying on in the street, trying to get attention.

How late did you all stay up Saturday night?

IT WAS GREAT GETTING TO MEET SEVERAL BOARD MEMBERS, & SPEND 3 DAYS PARTYING TILL ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT, ONLY TO GET UP EARLY & DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. (I HAD TO REST ALL DAY SUNDAY..... I GUESS IT'S TIME TO ADMIT THAT I'M 46)
