[ryan07md]

hey guys i see you planned a date for the little mini meet. i will be there as long as i dont have to go out of town for work! ive been traveling for the last two weeks so i havent posted in a while. great falls is a nice place should be fun if people show up and weather is nice.

[pdpgps]

lol all you guys are iffy. work with me here guys........:(

[Staylor21]

lol all you guys are iffy. work with me here guys........:(

July 6th ey? hmmm i might be a little iffy that day :laugh:

[gmchu]

i'm gonna try to get my gf to agree to this.

[JDM247]

where is this meet what time im in md.

[pdpgps]

well so far we'd like to plan a regional meet at Great Falls. Noone else has decided to step up and plan this meet so I have, and haven't heard from everyone here yet.

looks like this so far. I'm also proposing a Maryland meet first, because it seems a lot harder to get everyone from VA and DC together given the cost of gas etc etc etc.

[endlesswinterco]

where would this MD meet be? if its closer, i could come by myself and dont need to get permission from the wife.

[pdpgps]

i'd say somewhere on the pike?

[ryan07md]

hey im there if not out of town for work!!! already told the girlfriend so its looking pretty good for me as long as i dont get sent away last minute.

[DarkFireProdigy]

Put me as a maybe, I'm still living off PB&J and out of boxes at this point, but unpacking aside It would be a nice getaway.

Maybe for now, firm word by tomorrow.

[pdpgps]

[dedeman]

That's a lot of maybes. Oh well, as long as there's at least 3 or 4, that's cool.

I know there's some disparity about where to meet. I just say I'm cool with anything, because I don't know where anything is (aside from RFK, and Anacostia), so it's all good (literally). :confused:

Also, I've seen the thread we had about job/location/age (kind of like A/S/L), here's me: :killer:

[gmchu]

i think i'm down. about 90% sure.

[DarkFireProdigy]

Put me as being down. (still living of PB&J tho.)

The pike works well for me, but I'm flexible.

[pdpgps]

ok guys. iwas thinking of places to meet up on the pike, and I think it'd be best if we find someplace thats near food so we can all get food, and also maybe where cops wont break us up.

hooters is a pretty safe bet.
the rooftop of target
and mid-pike plaza (where toys r us and chipotle is)

[ryan07md]

those all seem like good places. i just hope the pike isnt crazy! hopefully lots of people will be out of town for the holiday weekend. traffic was nuts on the pike yesterday. dont forget about lake needwood plenty of parking lots and grills if we wanna do the cook out thing instead.

[endlesswinterco]

im more then likely coming. the woman is going wedding dress shoping that afternoon, so im in. time and place and let me know.

[gmchu]

only problem with hooters is that parking sucks there. not sure if its packed all the time, but when i pass it, the lot is usually full. there are tons of places we could meet off of the pike if that doesn't work out though.

does anyone else have a preference over a park type of meet, or a meet on the pike?

[gmchu]

forgot to ask, does anyone have a DSLR?

[endlesswinterco]

i rather meet at a parking lot for a small MD meet. i have a nikon d40.

[pdpgps]

i'll do a search on parks later on tomorrow. and i'll post up some google earth images.

[lito]

Dave n Buster in White Flint Mall is good place to have a meet big parking lot in the upper level. We used to do meets there. You should post this on the other forum as well you might get more people to join.

[pdpgps]

hey that's not a bad idea.

does everyone know where DNB is on the pike? Its in the rear of white flint mall, and you gotta go up the parking garage to get to the rear. if noone has objections. let's finalize DNB on July 6...

[DarkFireProdigy]

Sounds good 2 me.

[gmchu]

Sounds good 2 me.

+1

[pdpgps]

if we get a 3rd vote for DNB. We'll finalize it at DNB, Sunday, July 7.

[endlesswinterco]

sounds good, what time again?

[endlesswinterco]

[dedeman]

Any contingency if it rains? It seems to be doing that off and on, just long enough to screw up my chances of a car wash, etc.

[pdpgps]

good question...we could always just park in the level below..

do you guys want to do a premeet and then roll up

[pdpgps]

here's an image guys. (linked from facebook)

[DarkFireProdigy]

I'm pump'd for this.

From now till sunday, my first free period of non-rain = rewash and wax.

[dedeman]

Ummm, may want to check out the forecast, I read showers for tomorrow, probably the day after too (sucks for us).

Is this par for the course for this time of year, down here?

[gmchu]

btw, weather.com says there is a 30% chance of rain on Sunday so i'm pretty sure we wont be having any problems.

I never trust weather.com anyways. it said it was going to rain 4 out of the 8 days i was in cancun and it never rained a single drop while i was there.

[pdpgps]

thats a pretty good turnout. 1 day away!

[dedeman]

Hey guys, I won't be able to make it. The past two days of drinking and not getting to bed have resulted in a nose that's running a marathon, 2 pool queue balls in my throat, and what feels like too many sandpaper shots (if there were such a thing).

And I'm a pussy.

:puke:

Of course, I'm not 24 anymore.

[gmchu]

nice meet all. looking forward to the pics :D

[endlesswinterco]

good turnout, nice to meet everyone as well. took a quick look at the pics, turned out pretty good. i will try to edit them and get them up when i have time the next couple of days, sorry, just very busy at work.

[ryan07md]

yeah i had a good time too cant wait to see the shot with all the hoods up on the slope should look good!!

[pdpgps]

great meet guys. glad everyone could come out. cant wait for those pics!

[Staylor21]

I wish i couldve made it, i was ready to come but my dog fell down the stairs saturday night......hes got arthiritis on his back leg so its hard for him, so i havent left his side the past two days, cant wait for the next one and need to see PICKS!!!

[endlesswinterco]

ok, these are the photos that came out the best, due to lighting issues and me just not liking alot of the pictures i took. if you are looking for a different angle or a certain pic, let me know.

[Staylor21]

Great Falls was a good idea

[pdpgps]

that might be way too far for PA people. Can you guys in VA set this one up?

[Staylor21]

that might be way too far for PA people. Can you guys in VA set this one up?

I missed the PA part of the sentence, my bad my bad........who else is from VA other than me?

[gmchu]

a lot of ppl on the other forum are from VA.

[JDM247]

[TommySalami]

is that the autox?

I'm autocrossing saturday nearby in Bowie. Gonna be a blast with my car lowered now, just need new tires which are next on the list. There's an 08 TSX on the roster too, should be interesting and hopefully I can beat them.

[pdpgps]

[TommySalami]

do alot of people go to those? im like all stock...its for fun right? noone will care if i suck ass and dont really kno how to launch...hahaha

Naw, the people are real helpful to beginners. After all, there's a first time for everyone right? And it is just for fun. Your launch isn't very important anyways since there's usually a turn right after it.

[pdpgps]

cool man, let me know when the next one is. hopefully i can go to that one.

I skipped going to it today cause of the rain, but I'll be at the next one in Bowie which is on the 30th. I could have gone, but whatever, I had a lot of work to get done today
