I have milk allergies and don't touch the stuff.

 

Maple syrup is the only Canadian food I can think of.

I went to the Maple Syrup Museum in Montreal!

 

I also had poutine. I wasn't bowled over.

I don't know if we should start a new thread or not. I haven't been able to find a real schedule for Zcon. On the website some events are mentioned but it doesn't tell you when. Can we work up some king of real schedule for when things are going on? I know there are some things that are going on simultaneously but I can't even get a feel for where I would like to be or when.

The only published schedule is here:

I don't see any significant overlaps on events.  The People's Choice show is at Millington Jetport, must be some other non-ZCON event there to get the food and music.

$57 get's you in four different museums.  The cheapest Graceland tour is $36, the other places are around $12 each, about $72 separately.  If I read it right, there's shuttles between the different locations.  

 

I knew I should have taken more time off work to see the sights.  Maybe a return visit in the Fall with a sweet companion?

Thanks Jim

Since I'm going back overseas on Saturday, the 18th, I will only be at ZCON for the Opening Tuesday night and the track day on Wednesday. That is if the back up of the back up of the back up race engines doesn't bite the big one (long and expensive story).

Sorry to miss you guys....

I just ordered all of the parts for my ice chest A/C. Maybe that will make the trip a little more bearable.

I'm hoping for a cool spell. Don't know if I can hack it if it is 100 everyday.

Memphis was hot last week but it should be in the low 90's in July. So we can hope for normal or even cooler temps for that week. I work out in the heat almost every day and would prefer a little cooler weather for the time off.

I've never heard beer called "parts" before, that's a good one. 

 

Did you place your order with the local QT?
