We will be there, We have always had a great time partying at Waterside. Last year we were in a Poker Run out of Waterside and after the party there was a dock party until 5 am , Thats when we had to tell 17 people to get off the boat we were out of beer and vodka.

[megstoytoo]

should be a good run! we here in hampton roads can really use the support.

I have a vague recollection of partying at a poker run at waterside myself last year.....

Waterside IS a good marina for a poker run - no permanent boats, hooters is truely the CLOSEST bar, the entire dock is full of participants during a PR, close hotels, close breakfast places for Russ to soak up his liquor intake from the night before
