Here is the current itinerary for Jim's visit:
Between 9:30 and 10:00 am, Jim will be doing a phone interview with KXOW AM 1420 in Hot Springs. Be sure and tune in if possible. At 11 am, we will meet for lunch in the banquet room at Ryan's, 8815 Baseline Rd in Little Rock.
After lunch, we will take some of our FReep signs and convene at the grounds of the Clinton LIEbrary for a pre-emptive FReep/photo op. Time allowing and if Jim and Sheila are up to it, we will do some sightseeing around downtown Little Rock. I know very little of the history of the area, so I will have to defer to longer time residents' help with this.
Between 4:30 and 5 pm, we will head over to the Whole Hog Cafe at 2516 Cantrell Rd. in Little Rock where we will meet either in the banquet room or the large section of the restaurant to the west of the main room. Either way, we're pretty easy to spot. Jim Holt will also be there and will speak to the group.
Following supper, we may go have a drink someplace, or coffee or dessert....depending on what folks want to do.
I hope all of you will make an effort to be there. I would ask that if you plan to be at Ryan's and/or the Whole Hog, you would please let me know so that I can alert the restaurants as to approxiamately how many to expect.
Anyone from out of town who would like to come but is concerned about driving round trip, why not plan on staying in the area overnight? The Robinson's will be staying at the Holiday Inn Presidential Center Hotel (*cough, splutter, choke*), so that might be an option to consider. Also, the Best Western in Hot Springs offers a special FReeper rate. If you want to check that out, ask for Don.
Come on FReepers! Let's show 'em that the Clintons aren't the only ones who can make Little Rock sit up and pay attention!
You KNOW I'll be there!
The biggest jackhammer I've ever seen was ripping up the walkway to the Capitol's front entrance yesterday, but the tunnel entrance is open.
