Chicagoland Meet

[Malibu Glow]

I guess since I won't be able to come up to the drag racing on Friday I could be a judge if your having some of the contests on Saturday, since mine's not worthy to be in any of them at this time. I will be there for Saturday and Sunday, may end up leaving by Noon though on Sunday cause I don't know until the Friday before the weekend where I'm to deliver on Monday.

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 =)

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

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.

PS: & I mean the good stuff.
Not crap

This coming from a guy that doesn't drink anymore

I do like this idea tho..

Not interested in trading.

Edit-

Since we'll be at the lake I assume we'll be BBQ'n. I'd be happy to bring some brauts and bugers. Anyone else bringing stuff?

I will bring a case of 24 Sleeman Cream Ale or a couple (12-pack) of Sleeman Selections (sample pack): 4 Cream Ale, 4 Honey Brown and 4 Original Draught.

[cardude007617]

i like the maybe haha. sounds good, i might just show up for the show....

[Ajaxus]

like i said in the pm, depending on the cost of the sleeman selection, i might take a case home with me.

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

[Malibu Glow]

I'll have to travel light on the way up, I owe someone a front bumper and some tools left behind from a meet I had at my place last year, hint hint...

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.

[5-lO]

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.

[Ajaxus]

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?
