2015 Midwest Meet

[Sparky]

Looks good!

 

[Mounce]

I'm literally excited for you guys lol. Make sure to nab some pics for us guys out of range.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

No dice on attendance. Sucks but Sleepy promised me another meet...

 

[Hatchet]

Oh just so you guys know. Our saturday night sitting in the parking lot of the hotel ritual will not be happening. Well it could but most of us from Chicago will not be there. The Hawks play saturday for game 2.

I'd like to hear more about another meet outside this thread...

Are you guys going to the game or can we just move it to someone's house? It was fun hanging out in (was it your) garage last time.

 

[Sparky]

Darn Hawks should change their schedule, don't they know they're conflicting with our meet?

 

[Hatchet]

Not going to the game But damn sure as hell gunna watch it. Yea that was my garage one year. Its currently in disaster mode with my truck being at the middle of it. So the garage is out. But we can figure that all out with who shows up on sat.

 

[Sib]

Looks like I won't be able to make this one. The wife was able to get off work Saturday and she is taking a half day tomorrow so we are gonna head down to St. Louis for the weekend. Since she doesn't get to see her sister very often I can't argue this one. Hopefully this fall we can get something else set up and I can make it.

And speaking of the Hawks...I'll
Be watching the game with a bunch of Blues fans on Saturday. Rather bitter sweet.

 

[Grimor]

Wishbone and I are at the hotel. Haven't seen any others yet. He ran to the store and I'm just bumming in my room. And I'm hungry!

 

[Grimor]

I'm in town, not sure where anyone is meeting up though

 

[ErikSS]

The party is at AJs.

 

[Wishbone]

So the official starting time for tomorrow's BBQ and meet is noon. You're welcome to come earlier and we have the shelter all day.

I'll be Rollin in around 1130. Is anyone bringing buns for the dogs and burgers?

 

[Hatchet]

I just got here. Next time I'll pick a shelter closer to the main roads. If anyone can't find it give me a call. 7084177080

 

[ErikSS]

Would you mind posting up general directions from 294? My phone doesn't always work for GPS.

Good call on the buns.

We plan to stop for something sweet, cookies or something.

We expect to be there around 1:30. Johnny is making us earn our keep this morning. lol

better there than in my driveway

 

[Hotness]

I guess I didn't take a ton of pics.

 

[Hotness]

And of course no Midwest meet would be complete without the police and Big Ed.

 

[djthumper]

Looks like a much better turn out than was showing here on the forums and on the FB page... How many rigs showed up?

 

[Grimor]

10 ish?
