Who's going?

Anyone up for a coffee at Tim's beforehand? I'm an early riser if need be.

57Poncho will be if he's around. He gets up about the time I normally go to bed!

Any time is fine for me, early is great. Is Tim's open 24 hours?

Oh, and yes, I plan to set up to see if I can sell some stuff.

Yup, just checked it out.

Hmm, that could be interesting. I want to set up but next weekend isn't working as well. Guess we'll see.

I'm glad you told me. Sales may have been a bit on the slow side!

I'm thinking of selling some stuff too.
I'd share a spot but I'll have to check inventory, alot of big stuff so I might take up quite a bit of room.
I have a question for those that have bought spots before, if you have a spot, do you need to stay the whole day or can you leave at any time?

Joel,  there will be lots of room (unless you have a whole car).
You can leave whenever you want.

Nice thing about a bunch of guys sharing a spot is you can leave when you want.

also makes it easier to man the booth, and go check out others stuff, and grab a hotdog too.

OK, I just made a list and I got some stuff to sell!
I'm down with sharing a spot with whoever has stuff to peddle.

Ian, last year we met at Tim's before the gates opened, before 6:30am.
Most of my shopping was done before the crowd strolled in.

I am hoping to get there. I plan to bring my pickup so unless you have a major amount we can go in as one if you want.

I will not be able to attend this year, but I think my friend will have his 51 Pontiac there to inspect. He has my flatdeck to bring it in. Its one nice car.

I edited my subject line to show the proper date. Originally I had thought it was the 9th when I wrote this thread.
