I also fly. I take a chair with me and just pack it as baggage. Some years I have used a long duffle bag and some years a golf club bag. Both work and I usually throw in an umbrella as well just in case. Regarding a cooler, most of the stores in the area sell cheap Styrofoam ones for a couple of bucks, so that is what I usually do instead of trying to lug a cooler on the plane. As others have mentioned there is a Wallmart and a big grocery store within a quarter mile of the host hotel. Also the total wine store has an awesome beer selection. The Food Lion on the way to the venue also makes for a good ice, beverage, food stop. It is about 5 miles from Storybook Farm and right on the way.

Thanks, Steve! What's the hotel? I'm really looking forward to hearing Herd of Instinct.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Agreed, that place is pretty good. There was a barbecue joint that we used to always stop at in between the hotel and the venue that I loved, but unfortunately it was out of business last year. I had some time to kill before leaving for the airport last year and asked the guy at the hotel if there was a decent barbecue place fairly close by, and he directed me to the place you are talking about. I was a bit skeptical with it being a chain, but yea it was really good. We don’t get even mediocre barbecue up here in Michigan, so maybe a local would not be impressed, but I thought it was very good.
Steve Sly
Yes, there are some good ones in the Detroit area, but over on the west side it is pretty dire. We have Big Mo's here in Kalamazoo, who a lot of people rave about, but I don't think he is even close the real BBQ you get in the south. Real BBQ takes long hours to prepare and we don't have anyone that I know of over here that does that. Most of the Ribs here are boil and grill..........just not the same.

Hah! You're gonna melt. If the heat won't get you, the awful humidity will. Giving props to ProgDay, but I don't understand how some can enjoy a fest that is in this type of weather.
Make sure you bring bug spray. Also, post your chigger bites when you can
I am so looking forward to your review afterwards...
I'm 68 years old and I love Progday. Stay hydrated & have insect repellent & you're fine. Hell, adap2it (Dave Sr.) is 73 & is always good to go for the whole weekend.
Metabolic differences in everyone rather than the geographical location of your youth are more likely to be the cause of different sensitivities to very hot and very cold weather.

Is Lew still coming to Progday every year?
Hired on to work for Mr. Bill Cox, a-fixin' lawn mowers and what-not, since 1964.
