jrbooe 07-21-2005, 04:30 AM We may need a little bit of set up help. However, we need as many bikes on the run as possible.
jrbooe 07-21-2005, 11:09 AM The friends and family of Earl and Barbara Ackerman wish to extend their thanks to Allan at Saddletramps for his generosity in giving a donation for the August 13, Dice run to be held in memory of Barbara. While it seems other dealers may trivialize the importance of this run Allan Knows the importance of rider safety and the value of a human life during this time of grief.
Thank you Allan and all the staff at Saddle Tramps.

You should have no problem making the party. Not sure what time though.
flarocker 08-06-2005, 09:16 AM It is a pleasure to help out the families of downed bikers. I'm sure I speak for all the members of Bad Apple, when I say that.
I picked up 2 donations from "Happy Jacks Subs" on CR 561, Astatula. Run by John (Jack) Nolls. Considered the best subs in Lake County. "You won't walk away hungry',
If you can walk away.
The open jam session that Jrbooe mentioned has been upgraded to 3 bands. TBA will be there, Cul-de-sac will be there, and Bad Apple will be there. Dont think we'll have time for open jam sessions. Stewart Productions will be providing sound and lights.
and music between bands

Good luck, it sounds like a big day. I hope to make it, but I may not. I have to wait till that day to know. Too busy to plan ahead right now.
jrbooe 08-07-2005, 07:03 AM Samantha Ackerman has also requested that Sonny and his band, Vocal Drop perform as well. Since this run is for Sam and Earl I feel it is only proper to grant her wishes. Thanks to all four bands who are participating. The party begins at around 5:00PM, all bands are requested to be there sometime after 3:00PM to set up.
thanks, Jay
