Mid- Michigan 2012 Winter Meet Up

turnsouth · **on:** January 09, 2012, 12:39:28 AM

Since it looks like we're making February 26th 2012 the meet date, I wanted to get a head count so I could get a dinner/meeting room reserved soon.

Dinner is going to be for everyone, MTO'ers and family that accompany.

So I just need to know who is coming, and how many are coming with you.

Thanks

Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun! I won't be there, but I promise I'll wish I was!

Good idea Paul, late February will be here before we know it. I'll be there, but I'll need to find out who all is coming with me.

I'll ask and let you know

I should be there with my wife.

665ae · **Reply #4 on:** February 12, 2012, 01:02:26 PM

Any updates on this? Is it still a go?

J-sews · **Reply #5 on:** February 12, 2012, 04:34:25 PM

I'm still up for it!

Sorry I haven't been around here much latey guys, but the 26th* in Frankenmuth has been cleared by my Chief of Staff.

*(and if the date needs to be moved for any reason, I'm still in)

Is a noon lunch going to be good for everyone?

J-sews · **Reply #7 on:** February 12, 2012, 05:14:28 PM

I'm fortunate in having the ability to devour lunch at any time of the day.

But noon sounds like as good a time as any.

665ae · **Reply #8 on:** February 13, 2012, 02:34:34 AM

Noon's going to be a bit rough for me... I work midnights and noon is like 3am

I should be able to pull it off though. I just might not be as bright and chipper as I normally am

665ae · **Reply #9 on:** February 23, 2012, 12:40:00 PM

We are only a few days away now... Is this still a go?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #10 on:** February 23, 2012, 08:23:58 PM

I haven't seen anyone talking about this in a while- I wonder if it petered out?

It still a go

Sorry that I haven't updated. Bob and his family are coming, along with my family, and Mike with his wife. That puts us at eleven for lunch/early dinner.

Reservatations are at noon the Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth, address:

713 S Main Street
Frankenmuth, MI 48734

We'll meet at the bar/lounge just off of the main lobby of the restaurant, after which the hostess will direct us to the dining room we will be eating in.

When the meal is done, if we want, the three of us can return to the lounge were we can have a little tool time.

Michiganders don't do that, we finish everything we start

(unless, of course, it's Bob working on a tool project, then there is only a 50-50 chance of it ever getting done

)

Hey!

As the current owner of one of my very few completed projects, you ought to be taking MY side in this!

Sorry I've been incommunicado lately fellas, but me and mine are definitely still on for this Sunday!

Mike, any hopes of getting out early on Saturday evening so you can get a little sleep beforehand? $:-\$

665ae · **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2012, 11:38:15 AM

Nope... I'm working Saturday night then staying up... It's gonna be fun

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2012, 02:33:10 PM

Grumpy Mikey? Hell yeah, we need LOTS of pics!

turnsouth · **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2012, 03:36:13 PM

Well, there is room on my SD card for about 2,000. So we'll see about filling it up

Should give us a good idea of the new server bandwidth

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2012, 04:08:57 PM

I'm willing to push a new server and see how they hold up... go for it!

Hmmmm, meeting up with a couple of Chrysler/Jeep guys. Is it safest to show up in a Chevy, or a Ford, or a Toyota?

665ae · **Reply #21 on:** February 25, 2012, 11:47:24 AM

I think the safest would be a Dodge... Or a Jeep

J-sews · **Reply #22 on:** February 25, 2012, 08:13:14 PM

Yeh, except that I don't have one of either brand.

Maybe I could just park several blocks away and walk to the restaurant?

turnsouth · **Reply #23 on:** February 25, 2012, 09:13:02 PM

I'm not judgmental, as far as I'm concerned you can drive what ever you want Bob

After all, who am I to say anything to anyone who wants to greatly limit the fullness of their life by personal choices...

stressmaster5000 · **Reply #24 on:** February 25, 2012, 09:50:37 PM

You guys have a good time tomorrow!

Wish I could make it.

I'm sure there are several Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealerships between Traverse City and Frankenmuth... I can even get you employee pricing

Dang, too bad they're probably not open on Sundays! $:-\$

665ae · **Reply #27 on:** February 26, 2012, 01:19:25 PM

I've got friends... I can make a call and get you a Sunday appointment

665ae · **Reply #28 on:** February 26, 2012, 05:24:26 PM

Just arrived at the meetup location
