Joe and I talked about it and figured the best way to get a Flo's count was to make it a separate thred so we could keep track of the numbers without confusing it with the overall contest thread.

When I talked to Lisa later this afternoon she also brought up the point that if people are coming from NY, CT, NJ and some parts of MA, the trip could be long enough with traffic so they might not be able to make it on time if they're working a full Friday. Good point.

Lisa's pretty excited about it too - she told me she knew John and Jess from Flo's - and they both loved it and spent a good amount of time there. She also told me how much she liked Senor Habs and how shocked and saddened she was by the loss. You know, the more people you talk to, the more you realize how special a guy he was to a lot of people.

For you guys not familiar with the Clam Shack, it's a bona fide locals' hangout with great seafood. You'll see all the SWE guys there at any given time like Iron Mike, Pete, Robbie, Earl, et al. If you're lucky you may also experience a wild Greek sighting - King Clam himself

Yeah, I know, I'm sounding like a shill but it's always the first place our out of town family wants to go when they come to Newport. 'Nuff said.

Okay, might as well start a head count, I guess.

So far we've got:

BassDawg - 1
Jim Sylvester - 1
tynan19 - 2
Mr and Mrs Crafty - 2
Jake and Elwood Jude (Joe and Jeff) - 2

So that's 8 already, with another 20 or so I can name right off the top of my head but don't want to count until I hear from them or have them post it here.

So we're gonna be nearly 3/4 full pretty soon. Lisa said she can add more seats inside in the 2nd floor dining room which would give us capacity for another 20-25 people, plus room for standees and a few more seats on the side decks.

If you do want to be there, sooner is better than late to let us know - I got a feeling it's gonna fill up fast for opening night
