The picture above has a white arrow pointing to our parking location from 2008 and 2009.
The red circle is where we parked last year and will again be parking this year with the Prowlers.
This spot has shady areas and will provide free parking for all of our Crossfires.
Chrysler has rights to this area and has given us the OK to park there again this year !!!
I will be creating a list of all who want to attend this year.
Simply submit a post on this thread and I will put you on the list in post #2 here.

Housekeeping Issues:
- Dinner reservations - Need 'em by tomorrow p.m. This is the busiest bar night ($$$) of the year for restaurants in close proximity to Woodward, so the owners I'm working with want an accurate headcount. This is not difficult folks - Please let me know.
- If you have handheld radios, bring 'em (with spare batteries)
- Booze - No public alcohol consumption is allowed at the Dream Cruise. Polizia ticket heavily and the fines generally run around $200. Your call.
- If you are a music fan, the following groups are performing this weekend at venues within minutes of the hotel: J. Geils Band, Maroon 5/Train, Dweezil Zappa, Lil Wayne and George Thorogood.
Weather is supposed to be lower to mid 80's & Sunny Fri & Sat.
