Exclamation Input on Date for Next NJ Meet

OK, since Silver_Lana seems to be emotionally unavailable after his recent accident, I'll go ahead and start up this poll.

Please vote, and post any relevant info. And no, comments about RB88's alcoholism are not relevant!

As discussed, I think it'll be easier to just centralize things, and charge people.

So, vote for the date that you want; I'm partial to the 25th, as I'll be autocrossing the 18th, and I think that Sundays tend to work better for everyone.

I think the appropriate term is "guidos".

Can everyone please vote? We've had a lot of hits, but not many votes for a date. Unless everyone's just looking here to see how lame silver_lana's comebacks are.

Alrighty, so it's come down to:

July 24, 25, or August 1st.

Unless there's just not much interest in a meet at all? I'd like to have one, but not feelin' much interest as we get closer. If so, then I'll go to the shore instead.

Staten Island sounds cool. Don't seem to matter much which date but we gotta decide on one. Given my recent attendance record it doesn't matter much which one I vote for but it's the 25th. Hope to make it THIS time.

Sorry to hear S_L had a crash! Judging from his forum input it appears not to have been too serious?

A very minor crash.

Lets decide on one folks!

OK, I'll make an executive decision!

Hows about the 25th? That way, everyone can work on their cars on the 24th, and have them all nice and sparkly for Sunday? I'd like to have Saturday to finish up the Carlsson front lip install, and get some other minor crap put on.

Sound good? As I said earlier, I'd be willing to buy burgers, dogs, etc., and just have people pay me there; would be easier than coordinating all of this crap.

A headcount would be good, though. So, who's in: we've got:
Me
S_L
Rick
Face118 - I'd assume that you can force Kurt to come as well?
Columbus - any chance of getting Serge as well?

Any other takers? MBHRV, other new NJ members? Let me know, a'it!

Oh, page 3 owned! :p

Has any location been choosen yet? I forget where everyone lives but how about doing something down in the Princeton area? Anyone from Philly or other parts of PA interested? If just me, I'll travel. I remember the organized meet over in Pennington went well last year. I am in the middle of building my deck, 22x19. But I may need to take the day off or get away for a few hours. This weekend (24 & 25) is better than the next for me.

I had just assumed that Roosevelt Park in Edison was best for everyone. It also keeps Rick's drive home shorter, so that his chance of a DWI is much less.

If anyone's not happy with the location, now's the time to speak up!

Dude, WTF? What's going on with the new SLK on order? Gonna have a three-car garage, is it coming in to replace the leased sedan, or is it replacing the SLK you just bought? Inquiring minds want to know!

Oh, and if you got a slushbox, you're banned from Sunday's meet.
