Well hello Klotsche Krazies,
The time is nigh. We will be leaving Milwaukee between 12 and 1 p.m. on Thursday, January 22nd for Valparaiso, Indiana. Why? Two-game series in Indy baby!!!
_____________________________________________________
Here's the breakdown:
Leave Milwaukee - 12-1 p.m. Thursday
Arrive in Valpo, tour campus - 4-5 p.m. Eastern
Game time - 7 pm (eastern, 6 central)
Hotel in Valpo overnight
Check out, Leave Valpo - Friday 11 a.m.
Arrive in Indianapolis - 3-4 pm.
Tour Butler (food)
Hotel in Indy - Friday night
Check out of hotel, pack cars and head to Butler/Hinkle - 11 a.m.
Lunch - Noon
Game time - 2 p.m. (east, 1 central)
After game meal
Leave Indianapolis
Arrive in Milwaukee by 11 p.m.

Here's the cash breakdown:
Everyone will pay for their own food; simpler that way.
With tax, the hotels will be 30 bucks per person, so count 'em up, that's 60 for the two nights.
Gas will be 15 bucks per person to the driver of the car you're in. We'll take as many cars as we need.
I will take care of tickets to the games.
____________________________________________________
If you're in, let me know through PM by Sunday afternoon. I need to have a final count so I know how many tickets we need. If you have Facebook, send me a message on there as well just to make sure we've got it all covered.
It will be roughly 75 bucks for the whole trip, plus whatever you'd like to spend on food. To save, I'm packing food for lunch on the way there, if you don't have a ton of scratch I'd suggest it as well.
In your message to me, give me your full name/phone number/place in town, and I'll use that to figure out the best place for us all to meet, if we want to do that.
If you have a car and are willing to drive, indicate as much in your message. If you've got some crazy hotel deal or gas deal that can save us money, let us know that as well. If you have an I-Pass, that'll save us 11 dollars per car going through FIB country.
If you're not sure about everything, we've taken this trip before on shorter notice and it went well. If you haven't been to Hinkle Fieldhouse, I strongly encourage everyone to go. It is one of the gems of college basketball, and I'd put it right up there with the Palestra as an experience any true college basketball fan would consider a pilgrimage.

If you cannot make the trip for both games with us, but would still like to go, there are groups that will be going to just Valpo or just Butler, and you can rendezvous with them on a separate thread.
War Panthers!
