Don't say you weren't warned ! lol

you dont know anything about the people that set me off, we have history.


and to the benefit of everyone at the chicago meet, im too ****ing sore right now to do anything..lol

eh, i think im out of this meet, something has come up and i dont think i can make it....:(

well we hope that things work out for the best and you still end up coming out here in the end...

hate to do this as well, but there's a good chance i won't be making this either..ive got some leftover bull**** from the incident on the 4th to work through..if **** doesn't work out right me and my bro might not be talking for a long time..so i gotta focus more on all of this right now and it could drag out for awhile.

:(

Sorry, to hear.

I now sound like a douche bag, with my earlier post.

Sorry...

damn you AJ... j/p I hope things work out...

well as I stated in the past I will be doing all of this no matter what ....

even if no one else shows....

It's alright, I know you were just messing.

It just seems that right now, my bro cares more about petty friendships than family...so he can see how he likes being cut off from the brother that used to go out of his way to defend him and help him through rough times and compare it to the two friends he's keeping that think its fun to rag on others 24/7. Should be interesting to see how long he lasts.

Sorry mark, if I can work through this fast then I can make it, but right now this comes first in my life, the meet second.

its all good man.. I totally understand the situation... family should always come first...

Yeh, I just wrote a big apology out to my friends and brother, sometimes when you know the cards you're holding are the right cards you still have to fold your hand if it means a better outcome to the game...I hate apologies but I made one, hopefully I can scrape something decent out of this.

well things with my friends are working out, i think my bro will come around in time and realise whats really up. sooooooooo, i might be back on for the meet.

How'd I miss this thread? I need to get some more fireworks in Ohio.. and I'm off the 4 days before and after this... hmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Is O'hare relatively close to this stuff? Flying to Chicago's cheap for me

yeah its not that bad really......i dont know how you;d get around and taxi fares add up

Ohare is pretty damn close, roughly a half hour south of where the events will be held.

Yea its somewhat close... Figure 30-40 miles north to Mark's place, and another 15-20 miles to the track from there.

woot... the more the merrier...


o'hare isnt that far from here (as mentioned above) but the main thing is transportation... i havent done it in a long time but I am pretty sure that you can still train hop your way up here right from the airport and one of us could pick you up from the station..

just let us know

have no fear....I is here. lol

the 21st is the Swing Crew/Blarneygra party on the Chain O' Lakes. Nothin' but Boats, Booze, Boobies, Beads, and Babes (and dudes and water, but that didn't fit in.) So that day, is where I will be getting my drink on at the sandbar.

I will probably shoot out there on Friday and Sunday (sunday depending on how hung over I am).

So I will see you boys on the 20th then =)

and yes, im coming, worked through my family issues fairly quickly. :)

woohoo!

If T is making it, I might as well.




I didn't read through everything, but it sounds like it's starting Friday the 20th. In Chicago or something. As long as I've got a place to sleep, I'll plan on making it out. I'll have a long drive though.... 6 hours ;crap

As do I.

About 10-hours for me (assuming I don't get lost or get delayed too much due to traffic/ construction/ or the border crossing).
854 km / 531 miles.

But I am also going down to hang in Chicago area for 1.5-weeks.

Please add me to the list of attendees.

i wont have that nit wit wheat i mentioned, but i will be bringing some Bitchin Betty which is made by another local brewery, its a Citrus Wheat Beer. and mighty tastey :)

:applause:

Me either Mike. It's all good.



I'm probably going to be leaving really early Friday morning, so plan on me arriving mid-day Friday. I will need a place to stay Friday and Saturday night.

Matt you are welcome to crash in E-town if you wish. Not the same place as before, I moved. But yeah, just let me know.

I may be in for saturday night, or Sunday if anything goes down, but thats really all I am open as my hours suck ass. I hate my job.

So I would say plan on me for the cruise. Are bikes allowed? Id rather ride than drive. Gas mileage and such.

I don't have an issue if you ride the bike, we certainly can't say n-body's only in your case now, can we? lol
