So is it safe to say we should be including the LeMay car museum as an essential part of the gathering's agenda?  It looks like there should be some cool exhibits this summer, including muscle cars and Route 66 (vettes???).  Since Friday is typically the worst traffic day John and I were thinking we'd do this and any other Tacoma area activities on that day.  Sound OK?  We should plan on all morning or all afternoon for LeMay, IMHO.  

So they have a "Groups" section with some info on the Tickets page - a group rate is available that will save us a few $ per person but we need reservations.  I will gladly make reservations for us - I'm thinking I will just tally the numbers from Adam's "Who's going" post.  I'm unsure if we'll have to pay upfront or make a deposit for our group, I will check on that as long as there's general consensus about going.  Everything sound OK?

A very good friend of mine is the professional photographer for the Lemay Museum.  He might be able to get you guys some special treatment or at least some great pictures.  Someone send me your contact info & I'll have in get in contact with you. He is deaf so you'll have to converse by email or texting. He live in Tacoma, WA. He's also been a C-3 guy for a long time.

Thanks, everyone for the responses!  Sounds like a definite yes.  I like the idea of the cruise-in, too.  

Alan, PM coming your way - it'd be great if your friend could help us out.  An inside contact would be awesome.  Thanks!

I'll send him an email today & he should be in contact with you. He's a great guy & was at the meeting in Bowling Green in 2008 when they screwed us out of a PIG Roast...he started corvettec3.com.
