Even though it's still almost freezing here, I thought we'd get the ball rolling on our first 2013 meet.

As usual, it will be a combination BBQ / Benz meet, and as usual, we'll be hoping to see some new faces as well as the usual suspects. Everyone bringing something to the BBQ is always appreciated.

It will be in Roosevelt Park, Edison, NJ, at noon. That's the park right behind Menlo Park Mall, where Rte 1 meets with the Garden State Parkway. I'll post a map of the park well before the meet, to show where we'll meet.

Any questions or comments, please feel free. Thanks.

I put in my request for a day off, so I'm in

tommy

Cool, we look forward to the hummus.

TheGreatOne45

Let's not forget the delicious ice cold bud light lime!

Lenin

I'm in. Hot dogs and beer.

tommy

OK, now that we're less than a month away, time to put up the map, and encourage new people to show up this year.

Map's here:

We will be at the area market "Open Grove" directly across from the Kiddie Keep Well Camp - it's a less populated picnic area that usually works out pretty well.

Any new people at the meet will be able to point at my sagging headliner and laugh without fear of retaliation.

Hope to see you there.

Will Rick be attending ?

tommy

Of course! What would a NJ meet be without our mascot?

tommy

Less than two weeks til meet reminding

I'll finally be getting my summer rims on this weekend, in preparation, using my new smurfy powdercoated ball seat lugs.

Michael, make sure to have something go wrong in your car, to continue your loaner tradition.

Lenin - think I saw you crossing Kinderkamack on Old Hook in the C32, no?

Lenin

No way you could see me. I'm too fast for a human eye.
Who else is coming? If it's just you and me, then we can just meet half way in Emerson.

tommy

It's the usual suspects:
You
Me
Rick in his Maxima
Michael
John in his IS250
Maybe Mark
Maybe MG

It'd be nice to see anyone else in the area, but you know how these go

Lenin

tommy, are you inviting the young Asian girls, like last year?

tommy

I will try, just for you.

megacrazy

I'll swing by. I'll either bring the clk or the g.

Lenin

Looks like it's going to rain.
tommy, what time is the meet? Did we miss this important detail?

tommy

Only if you can't read.

Yes, what would one of our meets be without the threat of rain? Forecast: 72 degrees, 70% chance of rain. Well, that's life, hopefully it will hold out.

AarBearr

I'll see if I can make it
I'd really like to.
50/50 chance. If I can't make this one, will there be another?

tommy

Usually, there's one spring and one fall. In between, everyone does their best "Situation" impression and is at the shore.

TheGreatOne45

our meets always have the chance of rain. nothing beats 2011 when we had a meet literally hours before irene hit shore. im gonna be there rain or shine since i have the day off.

Air Marshall Eldritch

They make these things called "umbrellas". I find them very handy in rainy situations.

TheGreatOne45

Lenin

Looks like we can squeeze a few rain free hours today.

tommy

Lenin and I are here, you f•ckers.

tommy

In case anyone was wondering, the rain did stop after about 45 mins or so. Doesn't sound bad, but we were subjected to about 15 mins of Mark's bootlegged trip down memory lane of awful 80s/90s music in his CL.

Good to see everyone, and always nice to have someone new show up. Johnp, what up? We were assuming that your meds hadn't kicked in soon enough to attend.

megacrazy

It was good meeting everyone. It was a good time despite the weather.
