Ohio Valley WagonFest (Louisville, KY 10/5/13)

LOL... "in a band" is a bit of a stretch. We just goof around, but we do love shows.

There are a number of local venues, not sure what is going on friday night:

Headliners (headlinerslouisville.com)
New Vintage (http://www.newvintagelouisville.com/shows---events.html)
Zanzabar (http://www.zanzabarlouisville.com/)
Stevie Ray's Blues Bar (http://stevieraysbluesbar.com/store/events.php)
Gerstle's (http://www.gerstles.com/calendar.asp)
Phoenix Hill Tavern (http://www.phoenixhill.com/concert.html)
Tin Roof (though it's all country, I think)
..and probably at least dozen more.

We've been to headliners dozens of times. Seen a couple shows at Zanzabar (really small stage area) and Phoenix Hill. Never been to the others. We recently lost one of our favorite places (Uncle Slaytons) but it may be re-opening soon. Hope that Helps.

Looking forward to meeting everyone on Saturday!

4 bands are playing at Phoenix Hill on Friday night. PHT is my favorite place in The Ville.

Added some more parts to my list above. E-fan conversion, rims & tires, and springs.

Hmmmmm. Those springs may not make it to the fest.

Well, I wasn't able to have Dash Plaques for you guys...BUT Dr. John Haynes is sending the sought after WagonFest Decals AND fellow CarISSMA club member Robert Pettit just shot me this design for some small decals I'm having made just for this show instead of plaques.  

What do you think?

Is that pronounced Lousy-ville?

Damn....I just noticed that!

brb hahaa  This is why I show other people...thank you!!!!  

Got a new tempoary plate - I will be there for sure with my son

I like the color's. Looks great except for the miss-spelling but don't worry the i is silent anyhoo. (it's pronounced Lue-A-ville) did I say that!!??

I've got a final number on my clan. It's my middle sons eighth birthday so it's just gonna be him, my wife, myself, and my pops. That's 4 total. I will bring a side item, most likely something with noodles. I have access to a pop-up shelter. I can bring it if you think we could use the extra cover. I'm not familiar with Warwick park so I'm not sure on how big the pavilion is and whether we might need more shelter.

It will be myself, wife & daughter.
I'm also bringing a few things to get rid of.
Not sure what all I'll throw in the trunk but I do know I have a brand new A Pillar gauge pod that I didn't use.

Also, if anyone is interested in doing a 24x swap on their LTx, I'll have 2 PCMs too. But some of my small stuff guys can have if they need it.

Really looking forward to this. It's the first B/D body gathering we've been to since Impalapalooza on the Green in 98.

That is your call, the shelter is a good size though! Zoom in and you will see the shelter and parking area at the southeast part of the park.

So on a whim I just priced airfare to fly out there Friday night and back on Sunday. $519 R/T
As I've bought whole running wagons for less, I cannot in good conscience abandon my family for the weekend for this selfish endeavor. Perhaps I'll get together with some local wagony types in celebration of the event.

Sweet. I'll bring it just in case. I always think it's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.

Any car washes nearby? Any shaded parking at the park?

There are several car washing options near by.   On Lyndon Ln near the intersection with New Lagrange Road there is an "auto spa" (approx 609 Lyndon Lane, behind a Mobile 1 oil change store) that has do-it-yourself bays as well as an automated bay.  There is also a Napa which is open Sat and Sun just a bit down the road on the right.   On US60 (approx 4909 Shelbyville Rd) maybe a mile from the site there is "full size" automated car wash with hand drying.  It's attached to a GoodYear tire store on the right side of the road coming from the park.  There are several others as well, those are the closest.

Edit: There are trees at the park but I'm not sure how shaded it will be when you are ready to wash. I haven't spent enough time there to know.

In addition to the parts listed on the For Sale thread I started, I will have a nice set of SS wheels with center caps for sale, if anyone is interested.  I think the going rate is about $400?  They are lightly used but in GM boxes, no tires.  
NOTE: SS Wheels are most likely sold. Buyer has the right to back out if they are not as expected in person in which case they will be available again on Saturday.

A wagon trailer hitch.  I think class 2, in real nice shape.  Cheap.

Also have some parts for first gen Camaro:  700R4 crossmember (new); coated long tube small block headers; a full used exhaust system in good shape but not "pretty"; a stainless front to rear brake line; new console wiring harness.

Note that I am open to any offers on the b-body stuff listed in the Sale section - I am really hoping to have a lot of that stuff gone after the weekend.  

Started a dinner thread, so please respond if you are interested (so we can make reservations and have room!)

Packing up the wagon after work

Here's hoping for a great event for all the Wagonfesters headed to Louisville!
may you all have a safe and wonderful trip.

Dave

I super excited. T-minus 9 hours and counting until the family and I leave for Louisville.

Sorry this is late, but anybody got these parts?

1. Two power seat tracks for the front seats (left and right).
2. Driver's front window regulator assembly.
3. OEM GM CD player for Chevy.

If so, send me a PM or preferably a text. My phone number is in the members only section.

I have some Impala seats?

Leaving work in about 30 min then heading home to clean her up, run to gas station to fill her up and I'm out of VP110 so 93 will have to do. Throw a few parts and the chairs in the trunk and be ready for tomorrow. Guess we'll leave about 9ish.

Don't worry Chris, the pod is already in the back seat, safe and sound.

Let's talk tomorrow.

All ready for tomorrow! Food purchased an cars washed up. I scored a Suncoast hood today but the paint is horrible (so please pardon my mess as I mod)

Chris, thanks for a great event. Bummer for all the rain - at least Mike's parts got washed!

Nice to meet everyone. Some beautiful wagons there, good food, and the kids even had fun clowning around under the pavillion. Thanks to 94 Woody for letting me spend the night at his place.

I was looking at the pics on FB and thought that guy looks like Joel.....nah couldn't be. Guess I was right, didn't even notice the Empire state plates on your car, lol. Cool you were able to make the drive!

Oh yeah, need more pics!!!!

My son and I had a great time despite the rain.. Want to thank Jim and Mike for the parts and Chris for all he did to make this a nice event. Enjoyed looking over the beautiful wagons and meeting everyone. Jeff

Had a great time, even with the rain. Was good to meet so many people and check out all the great cars.

I had a blast. Thanks Brokecello for organizing this get together. I really loved looking at all the different wagons and cars. I'm glad everyone made it home safe and sound.

It really was a good time and I enjoyed meeting a new group of Members in person.

I just pulled in the driveway and once I wash and put away the wagon, I'll start editing that video and post up the rest of the pics I took!
