Octoberfest NJ Meet

OK, ladies, time for the last NJ meet of the year.

Same place as always, Edison, Roosevelt Park. Current dates that are open are:

Saturday the 15th
Sunday the 16th
Saturday the 22nd
Sunday the 23rd

Post any conflicts, and we can whittle the date down to one that most people can agree to. Same bbq rules apply, as always. Please keep the Bud Light Lime to a minimum...

We've had as many as 30 or so several years ago, to the day before Irene landing low of 4 this summer. Typical is around 10-15. Rain on that date is usually a good guarantee.

As you can see, 160+ other people have viewed this thread, and you're the first to reply, which is typical for our region.

Maybe I should stop handling the cooking duties to encourage others to show up.

I'm thinking Oct. 16th, so that I can see PSU live go down in flames as we enter the B1G part of the schedule. So as of now, it will be the 16th at noon.

That never stopped you before from blowing off meets.

Thanks for the link, Dave. Maybe I leave the spatula at home this time, and do this meet instead.

I'll point you guys in the direction of the real back roads if you want to drive around after this meet.

For this Sunday, I was thinking of changing things up and going to the C&C meet that C43AMG had provided the link to instead.

Are there those who would rather do our normal Edison meet instead?

For those English speaking members of the community, is that a "not me" to having an Edison meet, or "not me" to going to the other meet, or a "not me" to both?

+1 ...let's give this C&C meet a shot.If it doesn't work we can still squeeze in something in Edison in the next few weeks.At least at this event we can be fairly sure "bag lady" won't be making a appearance.

Thomas----I realised who I was answering and tried to make it as simple as possible. To be more concise, I'd rather have the Edison meet
OK, you happy now???
Whatever happens, hope to see you guys Sunday---------johnp

i would prefer our normal edison meet as well. while the c&c might have a large turnout, its gonna b filled with mostly douchebags like every other large meet that i have ever attended. the edison meets may not always have the largest turnout but its always a good time and its not a douche fest. that being said if it ends up being c&c, i will still attend.

Goto C&C This sunday in "Princeton" AKA Montgomery. It's about 20 minutes south of edison.

There won't be too many douchebags at C&C cause this event just started in this area... So I suggest everyone comes out this sunday!
