Midwest Meet(s) v.2, We'll continue the discussion here.... Options

[richee3]

I was just coming to the thread to post that I did some further research. Peru and LaSalle, IL are about 5 minutes from Oglesby, and they both have a car wash and grocery store. I've got to go right through Oglesby anyway, so I just thought I'd hit up what I can. I'm thinking I'll just pick everything up that I need here so I don't have to go to a grocery store up there and I'll just find out where you guys are going for a car wash. However, I just looked it up and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be raining Saturday. If that's the case, I'm skipping the car wash. I'm cleaning the car up here tomorrow after work, and was mainly going to try to get any bugs off at the car wash, but if it's raining, I won't worry about it too much.

If anyone needs my number to meet up or for any other reason, feel free to PM me and I'd be glad to give it out. I've already sent PM's to a few members.

[Bitter]

yes.

[richee3]

See, Bitter? You know all about it. You should just come out anyway.

[Bitter]

ugh, I can't. I have to goto South bend and be there by 1:30 which is exactly the same distance EAST as Starved Rock is WEST of me.

[Bigblock]

I've been checking 6gc from work whenever time would allow, & I never saw this!!
richee3 dropped a line, & that's the only reason I found out!!
Dang--miss a day-- miss a lot....miss a week--miss a lifetime...LOLol!!

Talking to my Bride this afternoon. ( She works nights ) I hope to go, so be ready---
our Celica is a winter car, & needs lots of TLC, nothing like everyone elses!!

K, so Lone Point??

[bloodMoney]

yessir.

After that we'll cruise for a bit, then head over to Matthiessen for some hiking, so bring a change of clothes!

[Bigblock]

My Bride wants to know if any wives // girlfriends are going with anyone.

We will go if there's women for the Wife to meet, or if any of the woman members are going.
If not, then I will be going solo.

Bad for me-- Celica is down due to a dragging, scrachy calliper!! Going to begin work on it NEXT Thursday!!
I'll bring pics on my iPhone of the Celica!! It's rough, but I love it!!

Do we bring food // drinks, or is it " munch b4 the meet "?

Looking forward to meeting you young whiper-snappers!! LOLOLol!!!

[richee3]

Hey! Glad to see you're going, Bigblock. Don't worry about not bringing the Celica. I don't really feel like renting a tow truck for the day to bring mine either

bloodMoney is bringing his girlfriend, otherwise I think we are all coming alone. Feel free to bring your wife though!

I went to the store today and picked up a 12 pack of Coke, 12 pack of Pepsi, some ground beef for hamburgers, some buns, and a single package of cheese. So to my knowledge, someone could bring toppings for hot dogs/hamburgers, plates, and napkins and we should just about be set. Looking forward to tomorrow! Let's hope it doesn't rain.

[Stambo]

when we all thinking of being there again?

[Bigblock]

We're in with brats, buns, ketchup & musterd.
So maybe 12 ppl?

( edit )
richee3,
I got some pics for the sympathy vote!!

I figured I would be there around noon. I have 22 hamburger patties made up, and only 16 hamburger buns. 24 hot dog buns. Sounds like Bigblock is picking up on the buns as well, so we're all set there. And you want sympathy vote? Haha I've got a story for you tomorrow...
