April 25 2014 HB PRE PARTY! 3pm cruise, 5pm BBQ starts!

[David Hodgkins]

UPDATE: Those planning to join in the cruise: we will cruise PCH @ 3pm and will return by 5 for the BBQ. Those who miss the cruise are welcome to come and nosh until we get back!

April is here! You know what that means?!? HB CRUISE-IN!! As has become the custom, I will be hosting the very un-official Friday Meet, Greet and EAT festivities on Friday.

My family cordially invites you to hang out, cruise and BBQ at my place Friday, April 25th, 2014 as we start off the 2014 Huntington Beach Cruise-In weekend!

The doors will be open all day for folks coming in from out of town. Park your trailer on our safe street and don't worry about it for the weekend!

Come and eat all my food, cruise PCH and generally have a great time!

If you want to come, please reply to this thread with your Full Name and number of people you plan to bring and I'll add you to the list of expected arrivals.

We are located down the road a few miles from HB in beautiful Corona del Mar.

All are welcome! Hope to see you here!

Count me in for one. Thanks for doing this again.
Doug

[ehansen007]

Won't be making it this year. Have an awesome time. I'm sure everyone else will!

[shinn497]

Do you have your 818 yet?

Will any be coming!?

Looks like Eric won't make it... Still a possibility, if Brandon (Brando) shows up with his.

Gonna make it this year?

[shinn497]

Perhaps but I should say I don't know my room mate any more.

[pavieSD]

Dave, I'm going to try and make it up if I can get Friday off from work. Do you have any idea when the cruise will take place on Friday? I know you guys did it last year, but not sure what the plan is for this year. I may drive up from San Diego Friday morning to make the cruise, or come up Thursday night depending on traffic. For now count me as tentative:

Mark P

[Vicki1]

Please add us to the list.

Dave-
The Arizona contingent are once again looking forward to your generous hospitality!
This year, our troupe is looking like it will consist of the following;
'Mesa Mike' & Lorraine Brasfield (aka) THE official FFR HB show DJ; Will & Donna Talkington (w/a trailer); Karl & Lynn Bebout, also w/a trailer.

Can't wait to see everyone, and meet some new faces!
Thanks,
Will

[Bob Barnett]

Robert & Donna Barnett will be there...again!

[mikey likes it!]

We are looking forward to starting the weekend @ Dave's. C'ya on Friday !!

Mike & Laurie

[ZwickFF]

Sandy and myself are planning on being there. Sandy will be bringing some desserts.

Glenn & Sandy Zwicker

[Big Blocker]

Dave,

The Vegas boys (Mike & Pete) will be there . . . you already know that my GPS is pre set from years ago. Wouldn't miss it for anything . . .
I can't think of a better way to gather the troops then a gathering of old friends and family at your house.
Thanks for doing this, you and your family are extremely gratious.

Doc

[David Hodgkins]

Awe shucks, 'taint nuthin'!

[Mike Dey]

Dave, Deb and I will be there. If we can help with anything let us know.
Thanks
Mike

[BMEP]

Thanks for the offer, Dave!

My wife Maria and I will be there and we'll have a trailer also. We're coming from Sacramento and not sure exactly how long the drive will take with traffic. I could use some LA traffic pointers, if anybody has suggestions, I'm all ears. We'll be coming down on CA-5

Rob Barron

[Mesa Mike]

David……as Will has already put our names in I will just say; we look forward to your BBQ. Last year was a blast. We'll be there earlier this year so a couple of our guys can join in the cruise. Also, I will enjoy being on main street this year with the Nomads. See you at your house between 1-2pm.

[CRZN 427]

David,

Thanks for the invite. It will be my first HB visit. I will be alone. Can you P/M, or e-Mail me your address so I can put it in my GPS? I plan on arriving Friday. I'm staying with friends who live in HB so I will have to check in with them some time in the afternoon/evening.

Regards, Rick.

[Bradyman]

Is this soiree just for people bringing their cars? I am putting a Type 65 Coupe together in Oregon and looking to soak up all the FFR positive ions I can.

Come and join us, we look forward to meeting you! If you get there early enough, you might be able to grab a seat for the cruise.

[David Hodgkins]

Rick, the address is shown in bothe of the pics in the first post of this thread. I'll PM you the info as well.

[Bradyman]

Thanks David,
Please add Bryce and Brenda Brady to your list. We'll bring something to eat. How about a cheese plate?

[David Hodgkins]

Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you!

[FFR289]

Hi David, thanks for the invitation. Wendy and I will be coming to your party. Also, can we park on your street? We will be coming over Thursday and make it a long weekend.

Thanks so much!

Dave from Chandler AZ.

Thanks!

Yes of course.

Sir Edward Charles Duncan

You will all recognize me by my +1 date above.

[Brando]

Looks like Eric won't make it... Still a possibility, if Brandon (Brando) shows up with his.

I am game to drop in and see the family again! Will be with Brandi, Morgan and our newest arrival Rocki! It will have to be after work so 5ish. As for bringing the 818 to the show...my 818 will be running but probably not have a body. Not sure if that's show worthy. You tell me. 2nd problem is a trailer which I am in the market for. I suppose I could Uhaul it

They have an "Under Construction" class

[JJ'snakepit]

Hi Dave .... Thanks for having this again every year... I will be there this year without my car. Its still not done.... I will be there by myself.... Can't wait for HB and your party.... See you there JJ

[frankeeski]

They have an "Under Construction" class

Ray

No, they do not. Ask me how I know. This is still no reason not to bring a car if it is a running and driving vehicle. I've brought mine for the past 3 or 4 years, uncompleted.

[Ray]

Yep, you are correct. I thought they had an "Under Construction" category but that may have been a few years back....

[luvaz]

Hi Dave,

Please add 3 more guys coming from AZ w/a roadster & a trailer!

It's Ernie, George & Kody.

Thanks!,

Will

[ZwickFF]

Eric,

Sandy and myself plan on getting there before 5pm and will probably stay until at least 8pm

[289FIA_Cobra]

Dave, count me and Melinda in.
I'm caravaning with the usual suspect from last year so add:

John Lipka
Freddie Herbert
Dave Albertalli

-Herman

[David Hodgkins]

Herman,

Can't wait to see you guys again!

I've added a few more and we're over 50!

[vnmsss]

Count me in for 2....Haven't missed one yet, and looking forward to seeing everyone! K

[289FIA_Cobra]

Dave, you double counted SJDave (Dave Abertalli), Freddie and John "throttle stop" Lipka... just trying to true-up you head count.

Def. want to see that; body off is better so we can see how the things comes together; pictures are one thing, seeing it live is so much better.

Thank the Lord I'm back under 60! Corrected, Thanks!
