MD/DC/VA GTG Saturday Aug.12

Hey everyone, I've been out of it for a while. We just had a little baby girl.

Anyway, wanted to see if we could spark up enough interest to start up some huge MB meets in the local area. I started these meets up a while back and we got a good response but meets have died out. This saturday if the weather permits we want to see if we can at least get 15 Benzes to meet up. REPLY IF YOU CAN MAKE IT... want to get a head count...

Date: Saturday, Aug. 12
Time: TBD (1pm-??)
Place: TOWER RECORDS
1601B Rockville Pike
Rockville, MD 20852

Driving Directions:
From I-270:

* Take Exit 4: Montrose Road
* Once on Montrose Road: Pass five traffic lights
* Turn left onto Rockville Pike (355 North)
* Go for five more lights
* Turn left at Halpine Road
* Take the first right and you are now in Congressional Plaza (Tower's shopping center)

From the Capitol Beltway

* Take exit #34 for 355 Rockville Pike
* Proceed north on 355 Rockville Pike. Tower Records is located in Congressional Plaza between Halpine Road and Congressional Lane.

Put me down as a firm 'Maybe'.

I think the wife may have invited some people to the crib. I'll know more later in the week.

I'd really like to come up and join you guys, but I need a time. Got a couple things to make sure I accomplish this weekend. If I can fit it in, I'd surely love to come.

Great to meet you guys. Got a little more sun than my pale white self needed, but it's cool. Nice drive up, but I-66 was a disaster and it took me 90 minutes to get home. I took a few pictures, too. I wanted to save the forum some space, so I made a few pages. Link to the next page is at the bottom of each page.

Hey I'm right here! , Great meeting all of you yesterday sorry I couldn't make it out to the 4pm. I also belong to a boating group which was schedualed out that evening. So, I had to get back to Stafford, grab my friends and head out for the night. Clear night with a forcasted metor shower from 11pm-6am, Awesome, but forgot my camera. (I went out to Manassas, VA too and drive south 234 to beat the I-95 traffic, luckily it work and only add 30 mins to my trip!) Attach a sister-ship of my boat. (Same boat different people ). Drop me a PM, when you guys have more stuff going on, ie. tailgate, etc.
