2008 Annual NCLR Gathering @ Hollister

[stevenmd]

Last year I donated a box of good cigars for the raffle. This year I will be donating a bottle of good single malt scotch.:)

[RON CT110]

Awesome! :)

[GriffSC]

cheap-skate. how 'bout a case?

[Gotrovr]

I hope it tastes better than that lighter fluid we used to start the camp fire last year :rolleyes:

What? I thought that was some decent swill. :p

[norcal relics]

I'm going to donate NorCal Relics shirts with an even bigger phone number on the back. Just kidding. I'm missing a big VW show in Las Vegas to make our annual gathering, I had too much fun last time!

well, i could use a size XL... suzi always makes fun of me when i try to wear the L...:p

[disco97]

I'm going to try to make this one. The Wife is due in October and I don't know if she will let me out of the house! I can't remember the last time I went wheelin'! It really has been a long time. Anyway, do I need to register for this one? Let me know!!!!! I need to get out and wheel!!!!:D

[Disco12]

I will be there.

and I'll probably be the only "camo" Discovery out there.:D:eek:

[GriffSC]

you and me both. the large just doesn't hide the boiler too well.

i hope to be there. don't know whether it will be the whole fam' or me and the two older boys. if i have my drothers, i'll bring both trucks. kachow!

[stevenmd]

I see there is a section to pay the fees for this event but I do not see a section for those that have already paid - a list of all who are going.

I will be showing up with my three boys early Saturday morning and staying through until Sunday afternoon.

[PCRover]

Wish we could do that steven, but it would be to much work for not much return. You can check who REGISTERED on the Event registration page. If everyone REGISTERS when they pay you will have your list.

[NCLR101]

[wineryrover]

show off.


it will be great to see the series.

[codynt]

signed up!

[stevenmd]

I have the first overland land rover trip from London to Singapore (about 40 minutes long) on an external hard drive, plus some other cool videos. Is there anyway it can be hooked up to a projector so we can show it on the big screen like we do slides? It might be cool to watch it at the Hollister event. The hard drive does need a power source (regular plug in) and a laptop to go through.

[Disco2Guy]

I have a divx copy of the Camel Trophy Land Rover Years.

[disco97]

Signed up but need to pay. Who or what do I need to do to pay? Sorry I tried to figure it out:(

Thanks!! I needed that.:D

[PCRover]

Steven, I can get the same projector as last year. It will project whatever a PC displays so if you can run that video on a PC we can project it. I can bring a laptop if need be also.

[NCLR101]

perhaps someone could "borrow" a video projector from work, combined with a laptop and Chuck's generator, might make for a nice large screen presentation..

Thommy

[PCRover]

I already offered a projector in my last post. We had my projector setup last year showing a power point presentation from a Laptop. We are covered on this unless someone has better stuff that what we used last year.

[stevenmd]

yup, it can be played on a laptop. all it needs is a power source. i will bring all the cables.

[Gotrovr]

I'll watch you guys sort out the audio/visual stuff on friday night while I enjoy a nice cigar and cold beer :D

[PCRover]

We are set them as there is plenty of power available. Hopefully we can throw in some NCLR video's as well.

How about a cigar and scotch? :D

[MrVideo]

Amazing to me as this seems, I may actually be able to attend this event after all. :D The brilliant people at the scheduling department of ESPN decided that our crew would do the big, exciting match up of Louisiana Tech @ Boise State on the Wednesday night before. I still have my doubts about their wisdom, because as of today I'm scheduled to fly into a hurricane in Florida Thursday for a game on Saturday. I'm hoping we get switched to someplace more hospitable.

This is amazing in a number of ways. First to have a weekend off in the middle of football season is huge. Second, I will have the chance to watch my oldest son play high school football for the first time. Then to participate in this event would make all the travel worth it to be with friends and fellow Rover fanatics.

I'll grab an ESPN banner to throw into the prize stash. Oh, and I'll bring my camera gear was well to capture the fun a frivolity.

I am however waiting until the travel reservations are confirmed before making the payment, because when you work for the Mouse & Co., they could send you anywhere. That can be good and bad :rolleyes:

Priceless :D

[RON CT110]

Hey Jim, hope it all works out; see you @ the annual gathering!

[lutz]

cant wait to see everyone again.Hopefully she's back on the road by then. Blew up the rear end on the pismo trip.

[Disco2Guy]

How's the repair going? Are you upgrading to HD parts or sticking with the stock setup?

[Gotrovr]

Blew up the rear end on the pismo trip.

[lutz]

I have a 400 watt power inverter, is that enough?

[norcal relics]

Is Mr Bregman going to attend? I'll bring my floor jack and air compressor this time again!

Just as expected, I just got the word today that my crew was assigned to the ASU @ Cal game on the 4th on ABC. That would fall under good news/bad news catagory. Great to get the extra work (3 games in 1 week) & not have to get on a plane, but I was looking forward to enjoying the entire experience this year.

I'm determined to squeeze in work & play. Here's what I'm thinking, it's going to be tight scheduling. The game is at 12:30 pm on Saturday. I always figure 3+ hours for college football, off the air around 3:45. Strike takes about 2 hours. I could then head home (15 minutes away), pack & be out again by 6:00 pm. That would put me in at 8:30 pm to the site.

I'm guessing most of the activities would be completed by then, so it would be a bit of drinking then crash. Is there a schedule of events published yet?

My other option would to wait & drive down Sunday morning. Still contemplating my options...:confused:

[PCRover]

Things will be winding down about that time Jim, but there will be socializing etc going on. Sunday AM is the Cerrone's Breakfast, then a trail run if you are so inclined. Most who stayed overnight will head out around noon Sunday.

Jim, Come on down on Saturday night, I'll make sure to save some food for you so you wont have to stop for dinner.
Campfire on saturday is a blast!

[RON CT110]

Not too late to joint the festivity! Sat nite camp fire/enjoying your favorite beverage was good last year, and like Gary pointed, we have the B-fast prepared by Cerrone's, and Sunday morning trail runs.

If you get there at night, with the trees along Cienega road, you can't easily see the camp ground and could pass us up at night. Just remember we are in Area 5 on the Hollister map, post back if you need the GPS coordinates.

C yah there!

Don't listen to Gary, that's when the campfire is winding UP!! It's a no brainer, we better see you Saturday night!

[PCRover]

Hey! I meant the "Official" part of the day would be winding down, not the "Adult" entertainment portion.


Don't listen to Gary, that's when the campfire is winding UP!! It's a no brainer, we better see you Saturday night!

[astateofmike]

Cue the strobe lights, Portable "fireman's pole", the moveable mud pit and music...

then let Griff have fun!

[Phil.]

why am i envisioning the basement party in "old school" with will ferrell as the referee and "my boy" blue in long johns and wrestling head gear?

[astateofmike]

Well, that would be a great start! We need a "Guys" trip over the sierra's that ends at the Wild Orchid or something...

Jim, are you sure about this group? ;)

[ChrisJB]

Wild Orchid honestly is a bit on the lower end. Not a place suited for the taste of us Land Rover folk IMHO. The Gentlemens Club behind the national bowling stadium would be a better choice. They have a sushi buffet!!

\Not that I would know personally
\\Going from what people have told me
\\\............

[astateofmike]

I dont know either....ha. I just remember spending a my bachelor party at that place, I thought it was called Purple Orchid, but maybe I was a not paying attention, and it was a great time...like 6 years ago. Then we went to some places in SF for a friends party, now those were lower end...I was like WTF?

Having lived for a few years in HB with a "dancer" and traveled to LA, Vegas and all with her and her friends, I may be have become a bit snobbish...but put a beer in me, and I don't seem to care...
