I will double check with the Boss man tomorrow and if he gives me the day off I am doing the drive! C'mon everybody it is extremely important that we get to this meeting and show people that LJ is so important to us. I know a ton of you guys have sick days saved up so take one and let's roll on up, I will post tomorrow if I can go for sure and if so I have room for 3 more people and you don't have to contribute any gas money I will cover it!! Out of excuses yet????????????

Awesome Matt! I think Jim Sammons is looking for a ride, check out his surf class thread.

It would be great to have local LJ guides, and kayak fishing vendors attend this meeting, and testify on the negtive economic impact their businesses will have, due to the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative.

Sweet Matt, one more.

I didn't go to the dana meeting and regret it now after hearing about the lack of fisherman. I hear the spearos had great numbers there. I hope we can at least match that. There are more guys that kayak fish than spearfish. On top of that kayak fisherman and spear fisherman have the most in common.

Matt I will take you up on the offer...I have Clay that week, so can you tell me what time you plan to depart/return so I can get somebody to take him to school and pick up if necessary?

Or we can take him along....let him speak up...I'm literally 2 min off LC Ave W, easy pick up. Count me in...

Corey · 04-23-2009, 12:56 PM

You should take Clay & have him speak too. Nobody can resist the pleas of a cute kid.

Matt · 04-23-2009, 01:38 PM

Might not be a bad learning experience for Clay to see "our" Government at work either! T Man is in fo' sho' who else needs to bum a ride?? I should have an answer posted by tonight but I am 90% sure I am gonna roll! Come on guys this is the crunch time, put your time in and let's effect some positive change!!

Dennis · 04-23-2009, 03:12 PM

Like Tman, what are the (approximate) times of departure and return?
Thanks,
D

Holy Mackerel · 04-23-2009, 04:59 PM

Dennis, we are leaving at 4:30am, and playing it by ear when to come back due to traffic. We'd like to get back as early as possible, but have kept open the option of dinner until traffic is reasonable.

Matt's Taxi may have different options. Post up Matt, thanks for offering your shuttle service.

Waiting for the word back, but my plan is to follow Chris......not to complex of a plan...but should work just fine although I will be picking up Tman once I get the boss's OK!

So got 1 or 2 seats left depending if Clay is rolling with us!
