The 2008 Southeast Regional DSM/EVO Meet is official and will be held on February 15~17th of 2008. Ive worked hard again and made sure that you all have as much fun with saving as much money kept in mind just like the previous Southeast Regional Meet held two years ago. I see you guys have a road trip that is planned, but this is going to be on the previous President's Day weekend. The Meet has grown out of the "Southeast" and I have commitments coming as far as Rochester, NY. I just don't want any of you all to think I'm stepping on toes, but this is a well organized Meet and am just giving you the option if you'd like to come visit.
The first Meet was highly successful so I look forward to seeing all of you return and have more stories and memories to share. So here is the information and itinerary you all have been waiting for
The host hotel will be the Homewood Suites by Hilton located at 10434 Midtown Parkway, Jacksonville, FL 32246. The reason it took so long to update you all with information is because there is a major event for Breast Cancer Awareness that has booked most major hotels in the area almost a year in advance that I was scoping out. Also I was torn among the final choices of hotels I had. Ultimately, I chose the Homewood Suites by Hilton.
There was a less expensive hotel I could have chosen, but I considered parking allowance and the safety of your vehicles. We all spend a lot of time and money on our rides, so I feel that this hotel will accommodate all of us and truly has the finest amenities to offer.
The rooms are Studio style that is 400sq. ft. There is a kitchen and full bath that also include a queen size bed, and a fold out full size bed/couch. After walking through a Studio Room, there is ample floor space for two more average size air mattresses. For the internet savvy there is FREE WI-FI in all the rooms and not just the lobby area. Keeping budget in mind, eight people can sleep comfortably in one Studio Room(given they supply their own air mattress). Feel free to tour the hotel and find out more information

To keep the significant others in mind, the Homewood Suites by Hilton is located in the center of Jacksonvilles nicest and newest outdoor shopping mall, St. Johns Town Center. With it being Valentines Day weekend, I thought it would also be a fine treat having the host hotel in the heart of our best shopping mall. Given, the mall was not a factor on deciding the host hotel, it was a nice treat to have on hand.

Housing three full service bars seating for almost every Pro Football player, seven Big screen TV's that are at least 22 Feet diagonal and over 80 other TV's there is no such thing as a bad seat.

The Anheuser-Busch Brewery Plant Tour is really something you all will enjoy. All ages are welcome and the best part about it, is that you get two FREE drinks and snacks in the end of the tour, with the whole admission being totally FREE. I never realized that Anheuser-Busch also had energy drinks to offer for the non-alcoholic drinkers.

Winghouse is known for its great chicken wings, but mostly for their serving competition with Hooters style Restaurants. You decide if you wish on whos better. Dinner should be great with plenty of entertaining servers. Feel free to get more information and check out the Photo Gallery at...
