Ok, I'm sort of kind of tossing around the idea of going to the Ohio meet. I know that's not much of a commitment, but it's all I've got right now. I'm a very indecisive girl. If everyone else is driving that far, I really have no excuse, so I'll think about it some more. 15

Fire, Just Do It! Seriously, it will be a great time. I'm also looking forward to meeting some new members that didn't or couldn't make it to the Mi. Super Meet.

Yes, it would. Hotels have free ice, their bathtubs can hold lots of beer, and it doesn't get better than a 10-second walk home.

So the party suggestion seems to be a good one... is this after party actually official? I'm sure I will hang around if it is, can't pass up a good party!!!

fire_502 · Post by **fire_502** » Thu Jul 31, 2003 1:48 pm

I'm thinking it might depend on who is staying and where. I'm not even sure I'm going for sure. I'm more of an idea person though. I'm not even from Ohio; I think that eliminates me from confirming any sort of plan.

Hey, I've got a question: We've scheduled the meet and the party, what about the race!?!? I'd like to see the extra 2 hp that the unorthodox racing pulley puts up against my stock pulley! I guess if anyone is driving from S.E. ohio, we could do the race on the way up!

satur9 · Post by **satur9** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 6:19 am

on the street or track i would love a race hate a ticket(broad daylight not a good time).any tracks in that area if the final location isnt already set lets find a track. ive been dying to go.

Wow, sounds like fun to me!You know this might be a really cool idea for a future meet....say at a race track...people can mingle, tune and tweak mods etc...and then race. I think it would be great for a bunch of us together to be able to work on launches and w/ a little competitiveness see who can run the best times and even compare a modded base to a stock GT would be fun too!JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT.......but im excited already!

Meph: Welcome to GenVibe :DWe'll be gentle, no worries! *puts away the whip* Also: AWESOME Signature. I don't know nearly enough Japanese as I would like to (read: I don't know any japanese and I want to learn it) so would ya mind letting us know what it says? (And if I am wrong and it isn't Kanji ... smack me a bit, ok? )

Meph · Post by **Meph** » Sun Aug 03, 2003 8:26 am

Thanks, I made the sig myself with photoshop and thanks for the welcome! You're right, it is Kanji and you're right, it is Japanese, even though it's hard to tell by just looking at Kanji alone. Usually you can tell if it's Japanese if there's Hiragana (simple curly letters) and Katakana (simple blocky letters) thrown in there. But I think one could guess it was Japanese from the girl (Chikage) in the left side.Anyway, I digress. It says: karoushi (ka = overdo, rou = labor, shi = death) It means quite literally, "death from overwork". In Japan, people work very hard by nature. Because of the economy being bad as it has in east Asia for the last few years, companies lay off scores of people and leave one person left to do all the work. Mostly middle-aged men between 40 and 50 would work thier butts off and end up dying of heart failure. This happens often enough that they made a word for the phenomenon.I work at least 50 hours a week right now, hardly enough to kill me, but I thought it was a fitting name for my character in a game I play online... that is, when I have the time.

As CaCathy if she still has the template from our michigan meet... I'm pretty sure she made the ones we used then... I've still got mine too.

Post by **NSimkins** » Mon Aug 04, 2003 11:06 am

Sure, if you want to do nametags and/or vehicle placards, that would be great. Whoever steps up will need to create another post to get the information rolling to you. The sooner the better.Also, whoever decides to do the placards/nametags, make sure you bring some blank ones for the participants to fill out the day of the meet in case they didn't get info to you before then.Start a new post and we'll see how we can get this rolling.
