for the noobs, if you have this stuff bring it!

-camera (with battery/film supply!)
-2way radio
-money for beer run(s)


Last year, I felt out of the loop on some of the funny stuff that was going on because I didn't have a 2-way. What brand/model would you veterans recommend?

Also, when you guys send me on a beer run, only one person tell me what type of beer to get. I felt horrible because 3 of you told me 3 different beers and I forgot which you's agreed on so I got the case of the beer that you guys already drank through...then didn't drink anymore. lol

Finally, if somebody has a video cam, and maybe a sound recorder, those would be cool to have there too.

well, will there be single chicks at ASS? prolly not. But there is a good chance there will be some at the hotel/pool.

**"Single Chicks" does not mean JUST women without a boyfriend/husband. It means sexy women who are willing to at least play tonsil hockey and/or pocket pool, regardless of relationship status.

I'll be there, don't have a boyfriend/husband, can't comment on my own sexiness, and can't yet say I'm willing to play anything with any of you. ;)

In any case, if there's a pool I'll have to think about buying a suit.

Well since I just got my Alero and still have much to do I won't be able to make this year. But Damn it looks like fun, I will HAVE to make next years. Put please take some pics this year of people drinking real beer. Not that stuff that's darker comming out than going in. Guess I should head over to the Introduce myself section I guess. Thanks to yall I have mad crazy plots in my head to rip apart my car, drill holes in it, and buy stuff I never knew I needed.
