Heads up: is anyone interested in doing Memorial Day in Fayetteville?

In my little GI town, they go all out on Memorial Day. All of the vets organizations have ceremonies that are open to the public, the Airborne & Special Operations Museum does a little wingding, and they have a celebration downtown.

Anyone interested in a DU get-together in Fayetteville over the Memorial Day weekend? I don't think I can get the whole weekend off, but can get at least one day--probably Sunday...which would allow us to:

1000: Muster in front of the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in historic downtown Fayetteville. Tour of the museum will commence at that time.

1200: No-host luncheon at the Huske Hardware House. This old hardware store was converted into a brewpub in the late 1990s. They have a decent selection of craft-made beers and an excellent menu. All present will throw five bucks into a hat.

1400: Meet at the Special Forces Association Memorial Building and Grounds to present the contents of the hat to the Association in memory of all of the DUers' relatives who made the Supreme Sacrifice in the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Even if we come up with ten dollars, that will be ten dollars more support to the troops than the freepers ever provided. All DU Special Forces veterans are especially invited.

1600: Tour of Fayetteville, including the infamous Bragg Boulevard. Due to North Carolina's complex alcohol laws, we can't actually go into any of the titty bars (you have to apply for a membership card, which costs no less than $5, and wait three days for its issuance in order to go to a bar that derives more than 49 percent of its revenue from non-food sales--and it's not like I can buy one membership and get 150 people in, each member can bring one guest. How's that for idiotic?), but I'll show you where they are. We can also see the 301 Truck Stop, the VD Capitol of North Carolina. (If John Ashcroft would have run his prostitution sting in Fayettenam instead of New Orleans where they have no prostitution whatsoever, he could have nailed more than a dozen hookers and it wouldn't have taken six months, either.)

1800: Meet at Buffalo Wild Wings for a Southern tradition: watching stock car racing at a bar.

You can also play great golf fairly inexpensively here. We have eight courses in town and probably 40 more within 90 minutes driving time.

Let me gauge interest on this and see if I should get this rolling.
