would like to see boost and mark down here, but if they can't make it no prob. would also like to see some guys from ohio..no clue if they'll show.

we did have a pounding party tonight..between everyone who showed, friends of allen (grandamgtblk99) and my roommate and some friends..we packed the apt with a good solid party. so we'll have a good group when we hit the bar/party part of tomorrow (about the time of dinner)

as far as the sport tomorrow, leaning towards bowling instead of wiffle balls since the turnout is limited..plus side is the bowling alley has a bar so we can keep drinking.

you can call mike, he has my number and has a radio to reach me (i'm runnin my cobra radios on chan. 1).

give him a call when you're on your way up and he can fill us all in.

Um.....

OK, its pouring so this should be interesting. Gonna try to pack my car up with parts and head on up.

I haven't been in that building since it was called spencer's.

Man, I had every intention of meeting T on the beach today, just to make you punks jealous... but then laziness took over. It was ****ty as all hell here yesterday...rained all day and was cloudy after that. It's beautiful today though!

[Mike Jung]

I like to state:

That this meet is official over; as per discussion with AJ.

(NO PLANNED EVENTS FOR SUNDAY!)

I hope everyone recovers well
(You know who you are...)


& thanks to everyone for putting up with my quarks.
(Not all Canadians are like me. You can say that I am Jung unique ).

[Mike Jung]

AJ,

Hoegaarden is a Belgium 'White'/'Wheat' beer.
(I thought that looked familar; at the Irish pub.)

1.5hrs, ask Jared. Mapquest told him 2hrs 10 minutes..he cut 40minutes off the trip tho..












thanks for the pics mark..kinda wishing jung lined up better in those first ones..sticking out like a sore thumb,

AJ speaks the troooff. It took me about 1.5 hrs. to get ther (driving about 85 Though) and it was 117 miles, google maps estimated 2 hours 12 minutes.

Anyways, I had a good time at the meet even though the turnout was kind of low. Its nice being able to put names to faces and do something besides talk about cars 24/7.

[Vegeta]

Yup, I had a great time too. 60V6 meets are about that size:P My right wrist and middle finger are all sore and cramped from the bowling though. At least it doesn't bother me while I am porting And also a -1 for the size 10.5 shoes.

I could talk engines all day long:P

I drove about 2 hours, maybe a little less. Mike drove 13+ and he didn't complain

Oh, and wrong name there AJ. MY pics remember?

[Grandamgtblk99]

Whups, wasn't thinking there..nothing new,

Woulda been nice if everyone had a radio..then Jung wouldn't have been the only one to get a guided tour by me when we were driving places, haha

Gonna make some changes for next year..thinking of doing it during the week instead of a weekend for a few reasons..first, tuesdays are half price pitchers and live bands along with lots of hot chicks at the brewery..and second, most car shows on the coasts are weekends and it'll allow WC/EC to crash things.

Anyways, Jung braved my cooking tonight and had our ribs at the brewery..he can comment on that later,

soooooooooooooo, whats your excuse for not showin' punk! We were there from 1pm - 6pm. I can't believe you didn't come out to hang with me It was sunny and not a cloud in the sky, and perfect! Then you had to be too cool again and hang out in the LP You didn't miss much Sat. night . Barleycorn wasn't all that great, but apparently if you are a cop in Chicago you can get badged in everywhere haha. Ended up at Vein/Vain not sure...where my sister got her purse stolen. Then went to Redno5, then to eat, where my other sister got her truck towed OYE!!!!

Looks like you guys had a good time at the meet.....

Volleywood V-Ball Tourny, at North Beach, Chicago July 12th. Be there. We signed up to play, and then its just a huge party at the beach afterwards.

I wasn't that impressed with the ribs (in terms of the quality of meat cut/amount of meat on the bone).
But the sauce was good.

Now what I loved (even more so the next day):
Beer Bread & Beer Cheese
"A loaf of sprouted wheat & barley beer bread with a serving of beer cheese."
It was the perfect lunch break on the road with a Coke Zero ice cold.
Apparently, you can smell the beer more the next day; when it was cold.
(I got some strange looks from people walking by )

PS: Irish Car Bomb Cheesecake was the bomb; for a late night dessert at the motel.
Irish Car Bomb Cheesecake = "Eli's cheesecake with our 'Irish Car Bomb' syrup (Chocolate Founders Stout, Bailey's Irish Cream & Jamason Irish Whiskey)"

Eh I know... I woke up around noon, and got back from the gym around 3.. then I went to pick my buddy up, and by the time we got back to my place it was around 4:30 and I figured that was past beach time. We had fun in LP, but my buddy ended up getting too wasted and was useless to me as a wingman. I'll try to get out to the vball tourny, but I think that day is the day I'm flying back from North Carolina

Were you all wearing clothes? If so, not worth it.

Why, Chicago North Beach is nude friendly now ?

I didn't recall that last year; is this new ?

PS: I would think it would be just worth it to meet T; to put a face & voice to the name

Example:
The first time I heard TY's voice; it kind of threw me for a loop, his accent & all.
& Jon/Lonewolf has a cool sounding accent of Chicago.
I swear I was starting to pick one (accent) up after being down in South Bend, IN for a few days

Apparently, AJ says I talk funny sometimes.
With the words I use
