May Meet!!!!!

[NJSPEEDER]

hey gang,
since everyone was so in love with the texas roadhouse i wanted to get the may meet locked in early.
we are looking at either may 13th or the 27th. both are saturdays and would operate by the same basic plan as this past weekend did: arrive 11:00-11:30, inside around 12ish. keep in mind that the 27th is memorial day weekend.
there is a joint activity with the FSFBA that we are planning for saturday the 20th, so that date is out.
the restaurant also offered to open up an hour early for us if we want to beat thier regular crowds in the door by a bit more next time.
let me know what you gusy thinks.

[79CamaroDiva]

no saturday meets for me :(

[1986IROCZ28]

why dont we make the meet on a sunday???

[NJSPEEDER]

availability of members and restaurants.
restaurants do a lot more business on sundays.
the days were also discussed before and it seems more members are around on saturdays for lunch than any other time during the weekend.

[Oddball]

We have someone back from Saudi on the 20th. Let's give him a proper welcome home on the 27th!

[Tru2Chevy]

Jersey_TA

I'm in for the 27th, any time is fine with me.

- Justin

[JW]

I am also good for the 27th for Jersey_TA to be able to come, anytime is good for me. I will be sure to take off that day from work.

JW :D

[Koll]

Sundays are bad. Saturdays are alight, as long as I have notice of like 3 weeks.
Also, would First State be back?

BTW I voted for the 23...it gives me 2 more weeks for my car to get ready.

[Tru2Chevy]

We will be extending the invitation for First State to join us again, they are a good group of people...

[Rich189]

im in its just a matter of work.... when they tell me to work weekends i gotta work.... double time is nice for mod money not to mention saving for a house

[ProtekYoNutz]

ill be done the semester :) and home but working and so therefore im out

[camaro2you]

ill be there any day lol maybe the 86 will even be on the road and i wont need a ride. hehe

[V]

27th eh? I am most likely available, depends on what job i have by then. I wonder how memorial day weekend will workout this year since the 31st is a wed.

[NJSPEEDER]

memorial day is being celebrated on monday the 29th.
since that means most people will have a 3day weekend i expect no excuses :p

[JW]

Traffic on that weekend is goign to be interesting for all the northern guys.

JW :D

[V]

yeah, thats sorta what i meant. With traffic, possible prior plans, or picnics etc, i dunno how many people will be around, but ill def. try.

[JL8Jeff]

Why not start a little later like 2 or so? At the Jan meet I wasn't hungry at 12 so I didn't end up getting food. I kind of felt bad since we were in a bar/restaurant but I usually eat breakfast later on the weekends. So I'm not ready for lunch until 2-3 on the weekends.

[WayFast84]

how warm is it gonna be in may??

[BigAls87Z28]

Im with Jeff, lets aim for something maybe later in the day, start it at like 2ish. That can give an extra 2 hrs for people living much farther then I.

[jin1481]

i might be home May 15th, doing the Recuiter thing for a month, so the 27th would definitly be the best day for me

[NJSPEEDER]

getting to the roadhouse right when they open is a part of our arrangement with them. due to the popularity of the place they aren't really in a position to hold out an entire section that would be packed with regular customers anyway.
we will look at adjusting the meet times for other monthly meets as they are arranged, for may it will have to stay a noonish affair :)

[foff667]

aight so who's responsible for calling me at 10am so i show up?

[Frosty]

I say keep it the same time. It was pefect. We got right in, had a section to ourselves and had plenty of staff there to take care off us.

As far as the date. Anything but the 27th. How many people are really going to be around on the holiday weekend? Not to mention traffic might be a real pain in the ass for a lot of people.

[coldkilla]

yup, same as last time, worked out great...except for me missing the entrance and getting back on 55 south.

[OneFast383]

ill be in town for the 27th coming up to jersey for about a week so i would be down for that one... where is it gonna be at??? hopefully towards Butler! lol

[NJSPEEDER]

the place is in millville, way the hell south jersey. just off exit 27 of rt55.

[NJSPEEDER]

anyone else care to chime in or is it safe to call them and say we will be thre on the 27th?

[Tru2Chevy]

aight so who's responsible for calling me at 10am so i show up?

Well, I prolly would have called and harassed you, but right after we got there some guy drove by twice in a GTP that looked just like yours (maybe not the same spoiler, but definitly lowered with pokemon lights. I figured it was you and that you would show up in the lot sooner or later when you figured out how to get in.

[slugger27nj]

When's the April meet? I can't make either March or May :rollseye:

[Brando56894]

[Ian]

F you, the central meet is the most important meet out of all of them! :finger:

[BigAls87Z28]

Werd.

[Brando56894]

umm no i think the south one actually was since the most ppl showed up to it, i still know where my roots are :lol:

[BigAls87Z28]

Well, there was another club from another state there...duh.

[Ian]

[Brando56894]

[Tru2Chevy]

AFAIK, the most people ever at a montly meet was the very first one at Firkin. We had 35 F-bodies and 50 people. Central Owns.

[Oddball]

I can just imagine the conversation with my wife

Me: Honey, I'm leaving for the firkin meet.
Her: Don't you curse infront of the kids. And stop imitating the "Sweedish Chef" from the Muppets.

:-)

[WayFast84]

:nod: THAT THING IS HUGE!!! :lol:

[Oddball]

:nod: THAT THING IS HUGE!!! :lol:

I hear you say that a lot :nod:

[BigAls87Z28]

Well, young boy stepped into that one face first.

Anyway, actualy biggest meet evAr was East Coast Nats.
But, the biggest meet in jersey ever, from Jersey only, was the Toms River Stop and Shop meet back in 2000 I belive, where we had some 45ish cars. I dont know who from here was there outside of Boon and James.

BTW, I vote April meet at Duke Island Park. Ian, we shall talk about this at the trucks.

[NJSPEEDER]

i was at the stop and shop meet. that was started on TGO and got to all of the boards. good meet. it was the only time i ever talked to eric in person before he passed away too.

[Oddball]

Who is Eric?

[NJSPEEDER]

he was a moderator on thirdgen.org. his handle was Xenodrgn. i forget how old he was, very young, died of some sort of cancer.
he was super cool, very enthusiastic, and really loved cars. i talked to him a few times through PM's and on AIM, but that was the only time i ever talked to him in person.

[BigAls87Z28]

Eric was a really good friend of mine. It was him, our friend Rich, and I who used to meet up at Stop and Shop every friday and saturday night with our gf's and we would all talk, bs, cruse around. I belive he had an 87 V6, as did Rich, and I had my 87 Z28.
One day on TGO, we put up a post asking if anyone in NJ wanted to come hang out, that they should come down to Toms River were there are a lot of cars and its mins from the beach. Well, it spread over to LS1.com as well, and to some other boards. I got there at 730ish, and the parking lot was flooded with Fbodies!! It was awesome
As for Eric, he passed away in 2002 due to a blood clot that reached the lung. He was feeling liek crap all week, and he went to the docotor. They told him he had pnemonia (sp?) and to take whatever pills, and get rest. Well, he still had school to go to. As he was walking around on campus, apparently the blood clot had reached his lungs. He was 18 years old. He was deffinatly one of the coolest guys I have ever met. His name is still on there as a Mod for the Northeastern board in TGO.
Tim, I did not know you were there.

[NJSPEEDER]

i was there in my old 91. i went down and visited a friend of mine, got to the stop n shop around 7ish and i was already about the 20th car. i think it was originally planned to start at like 8 or something. it was insane.

[jims69camaro]

Tim, I did not know you were there.

you didn't know i was there, either. then again, you didn't know me. i was with a different crew back then. still a bunch of wet nosed punks, but a different set of wet nosed punks.
