[ZeroCool8891]

[98tadriver]

Thanks! I will check the weather and then ask you north NJ folk what it looks like out there too

[Slo86Bird]

i might be able to go.

[79CamaroDiva]

Tim, seriously.. you had to put this on the day I have to set up an entire banquet.. wtf mate? Me and Steve will probably stop by, but can't stay long, gotta get ready to get a bunch of racers drunk at Panther Valley ;)

[98tadriver]

if the maro' doesnt get tagged up and somewhat legal by the 16th, i might roll up in the beater or something lol

[1_BAD_NBM_SS]

im gonna have to pass on this one. See ya all at the march south meet!

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Not looking like great weather there guys.

For those more astute members, yes it is for my town, not Hackettstown, but considering I live on a mountain and it's less than 10 minutes away, it won't be that off.

[Tru2Chevy]

Eh...not too worried about it. They are calling for a 30% chance of rain/snow, and temps in the upper 30s. Sounds about right for February.....

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I'm not worried about the weather. It won't affect my lengthy commute, but I was thinking of people like Brandon who's cars do not do so hot in the snow

[slaptastic]

I'll be there. Depending on weather. Plus my gf.

[brp88gta]

unfortunatly wont be able to make it anymore
-Brian

[bandit88]

i might be out of this one........ got too much hw to do :(

[DaSkinnyGuy]

I will be in maryland but for those going the weather will be partyl sunny with a high near 27. So those who are going, dont worry.

[WayFast84]

unstable bob? can I get a ride up with you?

[Slo86Bird]

yup, grounded. balls.

[unstable bob gable]

unstable bob? can I get a ride up with you?

Sorry, man. But I'm getting the stink eye from the wife for having too many guy events back to back, and the best compromise I can do is to have lunch with the NJFBOA and then blaze back for a tea and crumpet family affair with her. So, I'm gonna be traveling light and fast.

[Trigger85]

How far away from brick is it? I would like to go to my first meet, but i have to have catch a ride from my friend.

[jims69camaro]

i don't know if this weekend the wife's working or not, if so then i will be there. if not, i will try to work something out. usually there is no one from my area that goes that far north, so with my baby asleep for the winter i don't have the second set of wheels.

btw, did you guys ever get name tags for these get-togethers? someone should stop by office max or staples and pick up some of those "Hi, my name is..." stickers and then you could fill them out as people show up with their SN and real name. just a thought.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Never been to a meet before, Jim but I know some people from facebook/pictures, and I figure we all introduce ourselves?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

OK guys its supposed to be sunny and cold tomorrow. No weather issues.

[enRo]

I might roll up in the hemi for a little bit, im busy tomorrow morn

[jims69camaro]

Never been to a meet before, Jim but I know some people from facebook/pictures, and I figure we all introduce ourselves?

i have been. conversation flows for those that have been friends for years, but for those of us who have bad memories or are new to the meets, i just figured that conversation would flow a lot easier if you could look at a person's nametag and say, oh, yeah, that asshat, or whatever, and start up a convo.

it helps break the ice for those who are on the outside of the clique, ya know?

[jims69camaro]

unstable bob? can I get a ride up with you?

matt, if you can get there, i will drop you at home afterward.

[BonzoHansen]

IMO 'clique' is the wrong term, at least I perceive it as a negative term. There were cliques in high school and if you were not in the clique they wouldn't even talk to you. I've not found that to be the case here. Sure, people who know each other well tend to congregate together, that is quite natural.

If your 'the new guy', just introduce yourself to people, and hang around where the conversation is. I'm amazed when I see 1 or 2 people having their own conversation off to the side, then later they perceive they are not 'in'. I've seen that in many group settings. Just get involved. I have found this to be a very accomodating group.

Have a good time today everyone.

[Savage_Messiah]

I'm highly recognizeable :lol: but IDK if im makin it out to this one

edit: **** i missed a page

double edit: ok... so i guess i missed it lol

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Kasey, there were only like 10 of us, and I brought non-regulars. It was me, Echomirage, Tim, Kelsey, Paul, Jim, slaptastic and his g/f (nonregulars), and a local friend of mine. We all left like 330ish. What happened to Bob, Ron, etc.?

[unstable bob gable]

I had some last minute bull chit come up that I had to take care of. And I just finished up a little while ago, so it was a wash. :-x Believe me, I had a full tank of gas and was ready to roll!

[EchoMirage]

i PMed ron yesterday, he was going to bring an air dam for me, but said then he wasnt sure if he was going to make it......so i guess he didnt.

[Tru2Chevy]

Sorry I didn't make it guys....my wife had a bad migraine this morning and I stayed home to take care of the baby so she could sleep it off. Hope you guys had a good time!

- Justin

[slaptastic]

I really wish I brought the Camaro out. I could have washed it across the street from Applebee's, lol.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Pssh if that was your excuse you coulda asked me. There's a self wash less than .5 miles away too Rob

[jims69camaro]

good time, as usual.

as far as the clique goes, i didn't mean it in a negative way. it's just that there are those from hamilton who've known each other for years, and those ewingites, too. some people tend to stand off for some reason. me, i get involved no matter who is standing around. i walk right up and introduce myself. that's if i know you're from the club.

if it tends to be a smaller group, like yesterday, then it's a non-issue. however, once you get a bunch of people turning out, like upwards of 30, like the firkin meets, then it becomes more of an issue. dunno, maybe i am making an issue out of nothing. i just want those members of our club who turn out to be able to join whatever conversation, just like here on the board, when we meet in person. you never know, some people are timid by nature and just don't get involved in larger groups like i do.

it was nice to meet some new (?!?) faces. some of you have been around the board for a while, so i guess it was about time i got to put some names to faces. slaptastic and guest, sorry you guys were at the other end of the table, i would've like to have talked with you. unfortunately, my agenda was as it is most of the time, all business. tim and i talked about some things that i will be getting involved in that will benefit the board. and that was around both of us eating pretty healthy-sized plates of food and desert.

to the others there, please don't feel like i was ignoring you. i tried to get people involved in the conversation when it was appropriate, and even tried to keep an ear open to other things happening at the table.

the things you learn about people is really cool. even the army stuff.

i hope everyone had a good time and would like to extend a standing invitation to all to come out to the meets and have some good food and good company with us. it really is a kick-ass way to spend a saturday.
