Anyone in the area of Sumter, SC? My family and I are looking to make some new buggy friends

[scarabY2k]

I'm not, BUT I along with some orgers in Georgia and North Carolina meet up quite a bit for GtG's- we're cornering the market on the Southeast new beetle GtG scene. Please don't be a stranger. Sticking around will most certanily get you hooked up with us beetle people.

Not Sumter, we're in Aiken. The number of SC Orgers has seemed to have grown in the last few months. AprilM of Chesnee, Supercharged98 from Foutain Inn just to name a couple. I wouldn't mind getting together a South Carolina Meet N Eat. Possibly the Mellow Mushroom in Columbia. Or what would be a longer drive for the upstate folks, to Sweatman's BBQ in Holly Hill, SC. I've done a Meet N Eat there before and the BBQ is award winning. Quite reasonable $$$ wise and an unpretentious setting.

But Like Al said, we are an active group that like to get together often. As I posted in yout intro thread, we're a family friendly bunch.

Gary, I do not get on here often so I am going to pm you my cell number so you or your wife can text or call me and keep me updated.. I drove her to carowinds yesterday and had a ball.. Kinda getting to know her and finding her quirks.. I love smurfette!! I thought I loved my eclipse, my love for smurfette surpasses that love I had for my eclipse.. lol..

Our little round cars are addictive. I don't know if it's from all the endorphins created by constant smiling

I'll reply with our cell #'s as well. If anything comes about for a meet n eat or small GTG, I'll be sure to let you folks know.

Now go out and have some fun in smurfette

Shoulder pads
But if shoulder pads work, happy birthday
I Googled Smurf seatcovers but came up empty

[peanutsmom]

Oh I mean the little things that go on the seat belts, over the shoulder area..lol.. sry.. I only wish I could find smurf seat covers.. That would be out of this world cool.. Well I have a couple of arons I have to run then lay down for work tonight.. (I get to drive Smurfette)

Hey Gary, how about something in the east Columbia area? That way, everyone could jump on a interstate and be there in about an hour drive. I would be game on something like that. And, if you make it at a good BBQ house, I betcha Janie would come along. She loves a rack of baby back ribs.

If we do Columbia we could draw a few more folks. I had thought that before and suggested Mellow Mushroom. I think AprilM & Gary would come down from Chesnee and Harlequin Pixie from Charlotte plus a few others. Maybe Carla (Peanuts mom) can give us a heads up as to her schedule and we can work it around that.

I also thought of doing an Aiken BBQ at our place, that way we could possibly draw some Georgia Orgers. I'll probably hold off on that GTG till the weather get's abit cooler. BTW, I do my ribs in the oven with my own concocted dry rub. I'm sure Janie would enjoy them and besides grilling stuff, I'll be sure to have some ribs as well

Weekends are usually good and I work 10pm till 7am so as long as I can make the drive back from not to far away I would be fine so lets set some stuff in writting because now I am graving some good bbq.. We are going to marachi's tonight to celebrate my bday..

Either way, I'm game for it. If you have it at your house, I can put the hammer down and be there in 2 hours. Also, I can bring a cheesy potatoe casserole and my famous PB pies.
I work every other weekend, so I have a 50/50 chance on making it.

[peanutsmom]

I work either every other weekend or every two weekends but I work night shift so as long as I am back by 10pm I am good.. But would prefer a weekend I didn't have to work and had some extra cash.. lol.. My husband drove me around in smurfette tonight for my birthday.. lol.. It was nice.. Felt weird not driving.. lol

Rather than post here, why don't you both PM me your weekends OFF schedules for the next 6 weekends.
When there is a weekend when you both are off, I'll plan and post a GTG in Columbia. I'll also PM a few folks incase they don't see the thread.

Actually, why don't you PM me the weekend OFF schedule right thru October. The weather will be cooler and we can do a BBQ GTG at our place so you both can attend

[peanutsmom]

Any news yet on a get together? We will be in the mountains July 12 through 16th so let me know.. Hope to hear from you soon.. But keep me updated..
