Joe Bohannon

With the convention being held relatively soon in Southern California, I would like to warn you of some minor details for surviving California.

The state of California doesn?t allow persons under the age of 18 to smoke or use Tobacco products. Nor does the state allow persons under the age of 21 to use Alcoholic products.

Keep money in small amounts when being carried on you, we will find an ATM machine if needed. Pick Pockets and Con Men take advantage of ?Tourist?, so be careful. It might be best to wear your wallet in your front pocket and or place rubber bands around it. Especially be careful when at Airports and or train stations.

Hotel Costs, We will be staying in Hotels during our trip, we plan to stay at lower costing hotels, such as Motel 6, but be prepared to cover part of the costs of the room.

Gas Costs, It is mostly up to the driver, but it would be nice if you pitch in a few dollars, after all they will be driving you around, and that uses a lot of gas. Average Gas Prices in the LA area right now is $1.65 per Ga.

CB Use, please bring a CB if you own one. Drivers WILL need to use them while driving to sites. Joking and talking on the CB is fine, but you maybe asked to stop while we discuss traffic situations during our trip.

Drivers, Please contact me if you plan on driving a personal vehicle to the convention. Please include the type of vehicle and how many passengers. I will prepare a detailed driving packet for you. (661) 399-6163 ASAP.
