Chicago/Milwaukee/Detroit Area GtG

[Opelmania]

I'm going to put this here and include WI. I know that there are a couple of out of town orgers in this area this weekend and hope we can have a GtG. I am willing to drive. Imagine that. I'm already talking to a few people, just figured it would be good to put it here and extend the invitation.

Depending on when If you had it in the Detroit area I could possibly make it as Detroit is only about an hour from me

Jay, Warren is up in Green Bay and Michelle is in Kalamazoo. I'm actually 4 hours from both of them. I'm 1.5 hours West of Chicago. Damn Lake Michigan making Michelle further.

Kalamazoo, MI to my house: 207 miles
Green Bay, WI to my house: 191 miles
Toledo, OH to my house: 305 miles

I'd be up for BBQ'ing here.

I grew up in AH. Moved out of the area in 2000. I was in AH from age 1 until 20. Went to St. Viator's for a year and a half and graduated from Prospect. Lifeguard at Olympic Pool from 1990-1993. Go to Jimmy's on Saturday nights frequently. Hi Ellen. Seen you around here. Surprised I haven't seen you in Chi-Town.

Still working on some details. Hope to get something going tomorrow night.

Warren-> I'm sure Casey, Scott and I could make early dinner at the Brat Stop on Tuesday.

Don't let me hold you guys up. I'm only here til Sunday and sadly a lot of people are buying for my time. Tomorrow is my "freest" day. I will be spending early day in South Haven....after that...who knows. Kinda wish I had a little longer to stay but I guess I'll take what I can get. Hope I can meet up with you guys. If not, have fun! Take LOTS of pics! Joel you got my number, keep me posted.

First GtG set for tonight in Michigan City IN at the Buffalo Wild Wings. 5000 Franklin St. 46360. Casey and Scott are on their way to my house now and I hope to be on the road in a half hour. 2.5 hour trip at least so that would make it 7:00 my time. 3 hours from now. Michelle is meeting up with us there.

Casey (mybugrocks) and Scott (huck731) came to my house in Fiona. I lost my phone and didn't shower yet. Finally found my phone and took a shower and put Gayle back together. We met up with Michelle (MichelleRoze) and Probie in a parking lot and BS'd for a little bit. Went to Buffalo Wild Wings and had a nice dinner with great company. Talked outside the restaurant for a while and Michelle even aimed Fiona's headlights. I think we said we were leaving about 4 times and at least an hour later. I've been home for a while and made it back in a little under 2 hours. Fiona hit WI about 40 minutes ago and Casey and Scott should be home soon too. A nice impromptu GtG.

Great time guys. Still not sure how I made it home. I was so tired lol I wish I was up in the Midwest more often. Great group of peeps!!!

Awww thanks Michelle, I wish you were here more often also and I don't know how we made it home either, I just know that if I am behind the wheel I am alert and awake the entire time no matter how tired I am which is a good thing I might add


On a side note, I really hope we can GTG again real soon we had a blast and Fiona loves being with other NBs

Not too sure. There is a Car Show in the Woodstock Square this Saturday Night that I plan on being in. It is from 5-9 PM and show cars are not supposed to be on the square until 4 pm. Over 350 cars show up and some get turned away. My VW buddy is bringing his 74 Westie Camper.

Otherwise, I'm sure we could meet up some other time.

[Lnzbug]

I have to work sat

With the fall season upon us, Casey and I have been talking about a fall GtG with pics. We were thinking next weekend. Anyone else interested?

[RedDragon]

[Opelmania]
