Big Midwest Met

[jhoff]

For me,
STL = 2 hours
CHI = 8-9 hours



I dont care as long as it stays on that date. I have a 3-day weekend then so i can do it w/o missing any work

Lets try to avoid traffic. I thought maybe we could kinda stay out of the "city" If going to the pier means mad traffic, then i say we find a new spot. Trafic isnt bad, but when youre trying to get a large group of ppl to one location, if one person gets lost or off at the wrong turn, it messes everything up. I think maybe we should find a place that everyone will meet up at to begin with. Somewhere thats easy to get to and maybe near a main highway.

From there we can have the CHI guys lead us to where ever it is we're going for pics or food or whatever. Then we can head off to a spot near a lake or river, maybe? Somewhere we can do cool dusk shots, like in the meet icon.

Just a suggestion..

wow this guy is got a plan, come on chi town guys

wow this guy is got a plan, come on chi town guys

Im flattered.

Yeah chi town guys...come on

I dont mess around with this stuff. Especially if im gonna be driving 8+ hours. Id like to know where im going, how long its gonna take me and everything. Plans that are just "willy-nilly" tend to fall apart, and i dunno about the rest of you, but i want to be "willy nilly" 8 hours from home, in like the 5th largest city in the US....

yeah seems like we need a chicago area guy to step up.

STL would be great too, but wasnt it 2 to 1 vote for chicago? its 5hrs to chicago, 8-9hrs for STL for me. i really dont want to make that drive, u have no idea lol.

My 2 Cents

I am for the meet here in Chicago. I don't know much but Navy Pier is going to be full with cars and people I'm guessing specially in the summer. Not to mention Millennium Park, its located basically in the loop. Everyone knows how much traffic goes through Michigan Ave. Don't forget how freaking hot and humid is near the lake. Here's another one Lincoln(edit) Zoo is going to be crowded. There's got to be some more places to go that are great and not necessarily in downtown. But don't get me wrong Chicago has lots of good places where we could have this meet. If I was heading this meet I would stay out of downtown, believe me I live here!. I REPEAT I would love nothing more but to have this meet here in Chicago. Next year STL!!

lets hold it at uti LMMFAO

we r going to get the ball moving. ive been real busy the last couple of weeks putting mad hours at work and getting my car running so i havent had time, but it is 6 months away still.

i think navy pier will be a bad spot. june in the city can get hectic but it is definetly do able. there are a number of spots along the lake front that we could do it. we are having a meet here in a couple of weeks and we will be discussing it.

and i also plan on personally going and getting pictures from the city and shoing some of the spots that i was thinking of going too, and that way we all could have say in where we go.

[jhoff]

alright it sounds good
i cant wait for the 20th i pick up my first set of lowering springs from cakeboy, then i am picking up front end kit from ebay and my kyb gr2s, then my new fuzion tire

then the next month will be tune up..then it will be just small stuff and i am golden

i am in need of a vaction so looking forward to this meet
