I might add some ribs to make it look more like a beefsteak.

I think Araness lives in Orange.

Araness · February 23, 2007

Yep I'm the Orange one in the group...what ya need Rob?

tylenol · February 23, 2007

Araness and All,
Thanks for the info. I have sold a car to a real nice couple from Orange and was thinkin' I could offer to drive it to them if they could wait til' June. Then I cuda visited and attended SETTfest and had my bud Feldon feed me tom's and maybe show around. lol Heck, I gave them a great deal, but understandably, they'd like possesion of said vehicle sooner. They wanna get away from the kids and implied "thats why were buyin' a car with ONLY 2 seats". So now I'm just gonna tell them:
"The deal is off if THEY don't make it to SETTfest and visit my cyber tomato friends"

Rob

They did say they could fit a good number of seedlings in the car on the trip back and get them to Suze for me tho.

Araness · February 23, 2007

lol...I'll have to look around town for the car. Don't think we have another that red around. It's a very small town so shouldn't be hard to spot...lol you think they'll let me take it for a spin?

tylenol · February 23, 2007

Ara,
Like I said, I gave him a REALLY good deal...I'll shoot for 5 laps behind the wheel for ya.
His name Floyd Huff,

Rob

Was there ever any doubt?

The park is reserved. The tomatoes are growing. We're lined up with about 20 likely attendees. I would like to see more like 40, but we will take what we can get.

I hope people don't take a "wait and see approach" and wait until next year to come. There is some experience in organizing events already, plus we got a LOT of advice from the other events like CHOPTAG, MAGTAG, Tomatopalooza, etc. This is being treated as a real tomato tasting event for growers and their friends. I know I am looking forward to meeting a lot of people and learning about the techniques that have worked for people in our sometimes challenging, sometimes perplexing growing conditions.

I will be adding a Survey to the SETTFest.com website as well as perhaps a Quickpoll so we can get some real numbers on who is likely to attend.
