2011 Indy Meet, anyone?

Post by enfield577 »

I know it's still winter, and y'all "up nawth" are getting hammered by the weather, but has anything been suggested yet for another Indy Meet this year? Due to the heat last year, it was suggested to hold it before July ... how does mid-June sound?

Indy is a very good location for me, and I wouldn't mind seeing all your shining faces again! Heck, I JUST updated my sig from the Indy count-down last week! And, yes – either pre-July, or post-August, please. The heat did prevent me from really enjoying myself as much as I could have. Brandon, perhaps we could have a cross bar/cash hand-off. If you end up taking them off, that is.

I'd possibly be up for going to another meet in Indy and the meet in Hell as well depending on $.

Count me in for both also But I think someone needs to start a post on Available dates, so that those putting such events together could schedule it around the "most available" people and not necessarily the weather or time of year. I feel for all the southerners who are limited to how far they'd like to travel for a meet. Hell Mi. is probably a good 4-5 hours more north for anyone coming up from the south compared to Indy. I'm more in favor of a "central" meet like Indy or even an hour or two further south so we could attract some of our Texan friends

I'm always up for a mini-meet in central Indiana, simply because it's close.And at the moment, Hell is freezing over...

Yes. I was upset I couldn't make it last year and definitely if there's a meet in MI I will do whatever it takes to make it there haha.

I think Indy is a more central location ... Michigan is probably farther than I'd drive. For the Texas folks (or even FL?), I could go for somewhere closer to them, as well.As for dates, anything before July is fine with me. The last half of the year I will be over in that big desert sandbox again. (Well, OK, May wouldn't be good for me either ... so I suggested June.)

Especially since I met you in Indy last year. Was this a one-off kind of trip, or do you make it up here often?

Or if we're doing the Hell, Michigan meet for the northerners, we can hold the other one slightly further south in Indiana to make it closer for the southerners? There's some pretty places in Evansville.Just a thought. I'd go to both. Or whatever.

I actually am employed by TACOM, but I am a field rep, not assigned in Warren, and I hardly ever come up to the HQs. I was riding in some guy's rental car - I didn't want to drive my Vibe up there in the snow.

Hello, I just started getting on here more often, and I would definitly be down for an Indy meet!
I'm a reasonable guy. But, I've just experienced some very unreasonable things.

I don't believe there is any firm date set for "I'll Meet You in Hell (Michigan)" yet.Saturdays in June 2011 are 4, 11, 18 & 25.If we avoiding the July & August heat, Saturdays in Sept 2011 are 3, 10, 17, 24, but by then we're into college football tailgating season.Thoughts?

Looks like Hell is happening in June, the poll for dates is open right now: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=43965If we also did an Indiana-based meet (either in Indy, or somewhere further south) we'd probably want to do it in September.

September is out for me - I will be in the big desert sand box the last 6 months of the year.I probably wouldn't be able to make it to Hell, but I'm sure open for Indy or further south, sometime before June 24 (June 4th weekend is out for me as well).Maybe an Indy (or southern) event in June, for those who couldn't/wouldn't make Michigan?
