Mini meet?

gimpy117 · 04-19-12, 02:13 AM

this probably isn't the right place...but i think it might be better seen here.

Im kinda toying with a mini meet in chicago this summer, would be fun to meet some people face to face this year...and se who im dealing with (or arguing with

)

so anyways...whats the take on this? I kinda wanna know

nikimcbee · 04-19-12, 02:21 AM

July is out
Aug is open.

Sounds like a good time. I need to get back to U-505, this time with freshly charged batteries in the camera.

count me in

August would probably be the best month for me. And if I have enough scratch on me I can buy at least half of the first round.

I am free for virtually the entire summer. However, I will wait to see who will attend before committing one way or the other.

Pin down a date?
I'll be there!!!

Of course, when I said I was going to Texas and wanted to meet up with anyone?
There was a mass exodus to anywhere I wasn't going to be.

I'm up for a meet in August, unless my applications to UP and BNSF go through quickly enough that I can't attend, but assuming they don't I'll be available to provide a home base, we are about 3 hours drive from Chicago where I live, it's about an hour away from the Mississippi and it is kinda central to where everyones coming from.

And, I'll scrap some time off and throw some money in for drinks as well.

(its lonely here)

we were scared

well I think this might just be crazy enough to work guys

Would be really nice to attend. Unfortunately I'm quite sure it won't fit into budget.

krashkart · 04-22-12, 06:14 AM

I will have a definite yes or no answer by July at the latest, June at the earliest. Will have to see how things fly these next couple of months. But definitely some folks here I wanna meet.

I ain't scared of privateer. I seen that little itty bitty motorcycle he was riding.

Speaking of crazy, if we could wing a trip back into Des Moines we could burn "SUBSIM.COM" into my front lawn.

On second thought that might not be such a good idea.

nikimcbee · 04-22-12, 11:35 AM

So if we do something in August, would it just be a day event?
Say U-505 and evening drinks or something? Or if we did a second day, we could see the Cobia, which is a few hours up the road.

Ill be in Chicago early August for a day with Shargie...
