Are there any ATEV'rs that will be going to Indy next week for the FDIC?
If so, let's get a dinner night scheduled so we can talk about our favorite subject...
It looks like Thursday evening (April 27th) or Saturday evening (April 29th) would work out best for us.
As some of you know, Seagrave is having a 'private' 125th Anniversary reception on Friday night (April 28th) after the FDIC exhibits close. Unfortunately, it's by invitation only.
So...if any of you can make it on Thursday or Saturday evenings, please post on this board and let me know...There's a neat old Spaghetti Factory Restaurant not too far from the RCA Dome & Convention Center that has great food, plenty of room, big tables, and the most expensive item on the menu is around ten bucks...
Saturday evening works out well for me. Especially since FDIC is over, and getting a table down there may be easier that night. There is another good Italian place down there...on Illinois St...called Buca de Beppo...plenty of food served family style.
I will be at the Rosenbauer booth with Bob M. at various times Thursday thru Saturday, come on by!
To second what Bob said, you will find many unique features on the 2006 Tech Drive vehicles. 2006 marks the 140 anniversary of Rosenbauer, the largest manufacturer of firefighting vehicles in the world (a shameless plug!).
While at Indy, please give me a call on my cell phone...(701) 361-1911. I should be on the Covention Floor Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until close...
