Title: Mid- Michigan 2012 Winter Meet Up
Post by: 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!  :D

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. :salute: I'll ask and let you know :)

I'm still up for it! :tu:  Sorry I haven't been around here much latey guys, but the 26th* in Frankenmuth has been cleared by my Chief of Staff. :salute:


*(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?

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

But noon sounds like as good a time as any. :)

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

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

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

It still a go :tu:

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 (http://www.bavarianinn.com/?page=56366), 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 :D
(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! :twak: :D


Sorry I've been incommunicado lately fellas, but me and mine are definitely still on for this Sunday! :salute:  Mike, any hopes of getting out early on Saturday evening so you can get a little sleep beforehand? :-\

Well, there is room on my SD card for about 2,000. So we'll see about filling it up :tu:
Should give us a good idea of the new server bandwidth

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?  :think:

Yeh, except that I don't have one of either brand. :-[  Maybe I could just park several blocks away and walk to the restaurant? :D

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

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

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

The funny thing is that his truck breaking down is what caused him to be late. :-\

Is that called irony?

I just called him to see if he was ok and maybe laugh at him a little!  :D

Seems they are making the best of it and will be home in a couple of hours.  I am refraining from commenting here on the current state of their travel arrangements to avoid upsetting the Travel Gods.... but I'm sure he'll fill everyone in when he gets home...
