Alright, I'm leaving my 2JZ powered IS 300 at home and taking the bus to this meet.

Sweet! So we will see you at the meet then?

~bloodMoney
I don't see why not. It runs great except i have to recirculate the bov which isn't to bad. I just gotta cut open the intake tubing after the afm.

wow i totaly forgot about this. this will make the 3rd thing i've been invited to in the same day.
Same idea for food as the last meet or do you all want to goto a restuarant as a group to eat? I'll likely be going solo since Erin is back at home. Hit Matthiessen park again or what?

Bitter: Stacy and I want to hit up the park again. Definitely.

I think that we can do the BBQ when we first get to the lot and if we hang out long enough, we can decide if we want to go eat....

Stambo and Richee: For the state park, bring some shorts and flip-flops if you want to go exploring the creeks again like Austin and I did last time.

Stambo: Are you going to be able to repair the master before the meet?

I cannot wait for this! I just hope that the weather holds out... (although the rain worked out for us anyway)

no no steel toe boots, remember the snapping turtle.

I'll just bring my entire closet with me for whatever occasion may come up, whether it's eating at a restaurant or grilling out, going to a state park, or just chilling out all day.

I should get the part in on tuesday or wednesday this week. Hopefully it works out for me.

I seen the date but is this going to be a Saturday and Sunday event or just Saturday? Or whatever. lol
Who's coming from the Omaha, NE area or passing through?
I plan on coming just to get out of the house for an extened period of time. woot.gif
So far as I know, just a Saturday event. If it goes on too late into the night, I'll look into getting a hotel room and staying there, since I've got a 5 hour drive home and I'd rather not be driving at 3 in the morning. Anybody coming from St. Louis, we can meet up and caravan up north.

So Chris, you're thinking grill out since we're meeting up at noon and if it goes on late enough, go to a restaurant for dinner? I'll just stop somewhere in town before I get to the meet and pick up some stuff. I was going to stop and hit up a car wash anyway, so getting some extra food won't be a problem. I'll probably pick up a couple of 12 packs of soda, probably some water, and whatever else needs to be picked up. I'll probably send some PM's with my phone number in the next couple of days, or you guys can PM me and request it. That way, meeting up with anyone will be made easier, or I'll know what to buy when I get into town. As far as bringing soda, I'll probably just pick it up here and have it on ice in a cooler so it'll be cool by the time I get there, but I can pick up some buns or hamburger meat/hot dogs when I get closer so that it will still be fresh.

^ Yup. That's exactly what I was thinking. It worked out for us last time, so why change things? lol

Stacy and I will bring cooking utensils, some food and some drinks...

Bitter: Are you coming? If so, are you going to be bringing your grill?

If not, we will bring some charcoal and foil for the grills there.

So, with 2 weeks left, should we get a count going?

I'll know for sure this Saturday if I can make it or not. Just bringing myself, the IS 300, some drinks and stuff, and a camera.

Bump because so far only BloodMoney and I have confirmed?? Come on!

Checked my schedule today. I'm definitely in. If anybody is coming from the St. Louis area or anywhere south of Starved Rock, PM me to get my phone number and we can caravan up there. I will be stopping off in the nearest town for a quick car wash and food. I'll probably be there between 11-12, assuming I can find the place.

Since I am definitely in, definitely coming, I think I'll bring a 12 pack of Coca Cola, a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper, and some buns for both hot dogs and hamburgers. I might also bring a portable sound dock for an iPod if anybody has a cool playlist to listen to while we are sitting around.

I can be a for sure closer to the date, right now a maybe. should I bring a spatula this time or will we be using wrenches again?

Thanks Jordan, but Stacy will be making sure that we have what we need to grill.....

Maybe bring another for speed grilling? lol

~bloodMoney
What supplies do we actually need? We have a few things covered. We have the grilling utensils, but what about charcoal? I know I will be bringing some buns and some drinks. Maybe even some meat, depending on who brings what. So food/drinks are covered. What else do we need?

I'd prob just buy some stuff when i get to the area. I'd like to meet up with a few people and hit the car wash before the meet.

And why does illinois charge so much for stupid tolls?

I'm game. And it's because we're broke! Chicago can go be it's own state for a little while. Lol. What town would be best to stop and pick up supplies and go the a car wash? I was going to stop too and pick some things up, and meet up with Stambo for a car wash. Looks like most people are coming from up North, so I'm willing to drive a little bit further if I need to. I'm not familiar with the area, so I'll take whatever help I can get.

I'll be coming in on Route 51 and going into Oglesby, IL and on to Starved Rock from there, but I can take a different route and meet somewhere else for the sake of a car wash and a grocery store.
