Post Interest in NY/NJ/CT/PA area meet? (quick, before accord moves it!)

Someone over at benzsport is trying to gauge interest and possible dates for a May or June gtg, probably at Bear Mtn. or somewhere close to NY/NJ border.

I'm definitely interested, mostly to show off the leather, of course.

Please post if you're interested, and any dates that would work for you.

I would think that Memorial Day weekend (May 24-27) would be out, as would May 18th for me. The last thing that I want to do on my birthday (35th for the second time) is hang out with you people. :p

TIA!

Don't you people have them every other weekend or so? Seems as though there's always one going on.

sure! meet awiner on his malibu runs... (i used to live in woodland hills, i used to make those runs all the time in my nissan )
the tuningwerks show...
the staples center meet... jame55 posted a bunch of pics of that
the pics that were posted of brabus's car on PCH... looks like a meet to me.

it does seem like the benz meets happen a lot in south cal... but there are a ton of california owners compared to any other region.

I'm game. Always looking for an excuse to go for a drive.
Rember that 80's Nissan commercial - "Feel like taking the long way home"? That's me. Okay, no need to rub in the fact that I'm 10 years older than tommy. So maybe you *don't* remember that commercial.

Bear Mountain's cool. Nice little twisties you wish you had to yourself.

Great! There goes the neighborhood! j/k, Wyatt. It'll be good to see some c series cars that have some mods on them (that's what's good or bad [depending on your perspective] with Hondas - always see something new). It'd be nice if Larry would come with his Kleemann kit, and there's always hope that Eileen will open up the pursestrings a little and let Young get a pulley himself.

So, it looks like the consensus is for mid-June? Sound alright to everyone?

If so, I'll send an email out to the guy over at benzsport, and we can get this ball rolling.

Oh, would anyone be interested in food at the meet? If so, I'd assume that everyone would be ok with just ponying up some cabbage at the event? It always seems easier to just go ahead and do it that way, instead of potluck, when you end up with everyone contributing a bag of chips and a 6-pack.

Thanks for responding. I'll keep everyone posted.

A'ight, let's shoot for mid-June then. The more the merrier.
As for grub, we could just raid the nearest Hofbraeuhaus.
Actually, there's a nice one in Atlantic Highlands, NJ (Monmouth Co.), but someone said 'not in Jersey'. There's a big Inn at Bear Mountain Lake, or whatever that's called up there.
See y'all there!

Why the hell would anyone want to meet in Princeton? The only thing worthwhile here is a brewpub, but they have no parking lot...

Bear Mtn or Delaware Water Gap, PA would be good....but I do like the idea of the Hoffbrau Haus

oh...and June 5-11 is out of the question...I'll be in Montreal

How about June 15th? Sounds like a good happy medium for everyone.

rick, what's the little L that i see after the question mark?

if it is father's day, that's no good... i'll probably have to endure a father-in-law bbq... um, that is, i'll be enjoying quality family time

also, we're talking lunchish? the guy at benzsport suggested a bbq which i thought was a good idea but if we meet at a restaurant or something, that's cool too - better make a reservation.

columbus, i was sort of kidding about the not meeting in NJ thing...

and tommy, i don't need no steenkin' permission from eileen for a steenkin' pulley kit! i'll get it if i want to! uh oh, here she comes... shhh...

That's the 16th. Is there a problem with having it the day before Father's Day?

I personally don't really care, but I guess that we could push it back to the 22nd. Any further, and we'll be talking about a Fall meet.
