Weather prediction really kicked the temps, is our spot in the shade? I haven't been there since 2017 or 2018, I don't recall.

Once we are all parked I will ask everyone to gather and have a quick meeting with some announcements about the day.
There is a good restaurant named First Watch on the other side of Woodward Ave. where several of us walk to for breakfast after we get parked and have a quick meeting.

I'm leaving my home (just east of Pittsburgh) about 11am today. Should be at the hotel after dinner, hopefully before dark.

 

Valk - Thanks for setting up another perfect WWDC event.
Lots of newbies, 60+ people at the Friday night soiree and no rain.
Also great job Rob & Bob McC for getting every attendee’s XFire 100% road ready.
Well done Gents!

 

Hello everyone - I am so disappointed that I could not get over to see all of the Dream Cruise Crossfire activities and to meet more of you. Many of you may have heard that my wife Mary was in pretty awful shape after back surgery earlier in the week, and so helping her came first as I know you all understand. Early Friday morning I was fortunate to meet up with Robert at the host hotel who was so kind to do his pro-active sticky key-fix for me and I met and chatted with Valk and Brad.
But, of course, the real highlight, above all, was to meet Sparky - who's was insistent on having a picture of him taken with a Startech -
I was happy to oblige! We'll point to next year and all of you have safe travels back home.
Thanks for your kindness and welcoming me to the Crossfire community.

 

Dave,
It was a pleasure meeting you. I'm sorry that none of us thought to take a picture of you with your Startech Crossfire
I guess Sparky will have to do for the photo....lol
I hope your wife's condition improves and know that several of us were thinking of you both over the weekend .

 

Thanks Jim,
A thank you goes to you as well for setting up the dining arrangements for Thursday and Friday.
The other thanks goes to all the folks who come to Woodward - Its all of you that makes the event successful.
It was a really good event and another enjoyable Dream Cruise weekend !!
