yes, you do the driving! I'll do the drinking!Maybe I should drive.
...Grandpa is looking into tours for the Friday of Kon week, and I have spent some time here today checking on shirts....I will tell you straight up, as much as I wanted to deal with them because of helping with the Haven project, they don't have s*it when it comes to "Shining" graphics, therefor I am shooting that down and will check with Zazzle on Monday, they have the Roque mallets and I want to check on a couple of other things as well with them, then I will post my findings here-so that everyone can get the official shirt that wants one and in the proper size even if you can't be physically with the Tet that week.....
Thank you, GNT. Even though I can't go, having a shirt would be lovely. 
About the shirts. I can't make the Kon this year, but I sure would like a shirt, no matter what. I'll be checking in to see what y'all come up with.
Well, kids. It looks like I'm going to have to miss out on this one, too. I REALLY wanted to come to this one, but family has to come first. I've got one son in MN and one in OH, and that's where I'll be going this summer. One needs help and I haven't seen the other in far too long. I need mama time. I truly wanted to meet up with the gang, but it just can't happen.
And I can't even say "Well, there's always next year!" because they only happen every other. I can only hope we're still doing these things in 2018. And wonder where that one might be.

...sure can!....soon as I feel better I'm going to get things squared away with the shirts, but this fever kicked my azz today....sorry you can't make it hun, and as far as 2018?....we will discuss that this Summer....I'd like to go back to Maine myself......Any chance I can still score a shirt?
I was kinda hoping for a Maine revisit since I didn't get to go to the first one.
And feel better, Dear Gnt. I was down myself last week with a nasty bug. It really knocked the feet right out from under me.
I know many have mentioned Florida for the 2018. Since the past King Kons have been in summer months (children off school, vacation time), those of us that live in Fl know that summer is not ideal. The humidity, rainy season and the top spot of tropical season. Maine would get my vote.
As a south-dweller myself (Louisiana), I concur. Summer isn't all it's cracked up to be. The heat, the humidity, it's pretty miserable. Now, if one of these things got planned for a colder month, like spring break, then I'd suggest someplace down here. But in the hotter months, my vote is for somewhere up north.
Yeah, it's way too hot in the south in the summer. A winter Kon would almost have to be in Florida. I'd like that. We'd have to get beach houses 'n stuff. Ones with lots of murmuring shells around them.
why don't you do a King Kon and a John D MacDonald tour at the same time? All you guys can bone up on Travis McGee and other stuff and rent a bus, and tour around all the landmarks in the books. I mean, if it's going to be in Florida.
....I'd be to busy trying to storm his castle on Duma Key......
....I too would like to have a Kon down South, but if it were to ever happen, it would have to be toward Fall, where it might be less miserable and yet, us Northerners wouldn't have the dicey transport due to inclimate Winter weather....the bad part is, those with kids that would like to join us.....with school and other obligations that would leave them out, and I don't like the idea of excluding those that could otherwise make it....

GNTLGNT -- Scott, are the shirts mailed directly to us from CustomInk, if we are not attending?
I do not see/ missed a ship to address.

Thanks.
But I thought the one with Jack and the axe was scrapped.
(say sorry, I had enough thinking of bad movie adaptations today)
