Triple Forte Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Just wanted to take a moment and thank the folks from Atlanta CV for coming up Norh to the Caballeros Grand Prix home show. It was great to see you guys before the DCA Champ. Weekend. I am sure it was a challenge to coordinate the travel plans to make the trip so again thanks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Detweiler Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Believe me, aside from the bus ride, it was our pleasure indeed! Great to see friends old and new as well as compete head to head with the very best. Thanks for the hospitality and the opportunity.

Kamarag Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Loved your show, Dan. You guys sure know how to bring a great performance after hours on a bus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCVMktg Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 18-19 hours each way definitely is unpleasant, but it was all worth it for the chance to perform so well at such a fantastic event. Congrats to all involved, especially the Cabs for their great success of a show and for the win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder you took "Corvette" out of the corps' name :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDz Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I live about a mile from PCTI, site of the Grand Prix (where I worked for 40 years) and my daughter lives in Sandy Springs (Atlanta). Every year we spend 2 days each way (about 17 hours on road) back and forth. I can't imagine a weekend trip to GA and getting off the bus and performing as you guys did and then getting back on to go home. What you accomplished last weekend will cement your corps together for the next few years........ However, if you guys show up at Secaucus this weekend, it would be crazy ! As a 50+ year Cabs fan, I'm hoping very hard that you finish second in Rochester ! Joe Dz in Paterson, NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder you took "Corvette" out of the corps' name :) Yep - when you include meal breaks, fuel stops, a mandatory driver change and three full busses of people to wrangle at every stop... it all adds up :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Detweiler Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yep - when you include meal breaks, fuel stops, a mandatory driver change and three full busses of people to wrangle at every stop... it all adds up :\ I resent the use of the term "wrangle" in reference to our members. The term creates visions of a herd of cattle needing to be controlled. I am deeply offended by such reference and.... ...well come to think of it, that pretty much nails it. Never mind.

Fred Windish Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 It was nice to speak with you and the 'other' DM, Dan! Just kidding about that other guy. He's a gem. I know you are proud to have him. Anyway, so long as you folks can pull off a trip like this, PLEASE CONTINUE! It's extremely important for DCA to have corps willing to extend themselves like you do, for the good of the order. More need to give a 'look.' It can be done. Next time we chat I'll discuss it further, my friend. There's a higher placement waiting for CV, if I had anything to do with it.

Thanks so much for the kind words Fred! It was great to finally meet you in person after reading so many of your posts here on the Planet. How 'bout we arrange to get together over some frosty ones in Rochester? I'll look forward to it! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
