Chicago Vibe Mini-Meet 2011

Post by ponta2147 »

OFFICIAL MEET INFO!When: Saturday April 9, 2011Where: Busse Woods - Arlington Heights, ILTime: 12:00 noon - ? Map to the parkhttp://maps.google.com/maps/ms...&z=15It is right off of the highway and easily accessible from wherever you are coming from (near Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg).Let's get a list of interested people going, and votes for food. I can get great deals on a few pizzas which will be super-cheap (probably no more than $5 per person) and we'll bring plates, cups, and ice. Either that or we can order a sub or something. Plus everyone can bring their own drinks or snacks. We have a few 2 liters and cans sitting around that we can donate to the cause We can also bring a 6ft fold-in-half table (new since last year, lol) and a couple chairs.Any other thoughts? Interested people? Let's get this going, it's only a few weeks away!

Come on Chicagoland Vibers, you know you don't want to miss this! We've got to have at least the same people we did last year, if not a few new ones as well.

Last year you had a nice small turnout so where are all those people this year?I don't mind still getting together with you and Michelle and Chris. I just didn't think you'd want to come all the way out here to hang out with only a few people. I'm totally game to still get together even if no one else shows up.Quote, originally posted by ponta2147 »Not going on the forums anymore apparently!I'll try to send messages to some people this weekend.I guess you and I are the only diehards Michelle .Remember that Pat said he's a maybe, Aron said he's out and I'm guessing since Jeremy hasn't posted lately he's out too. So, that really only leaves Tim (houseofbugs), Jerry (ramenboy...) and Josh (tribalman). Also, Victor (Boogietribe) said he'd be there. I am just supposed to text him a few days before and remind him.

Okay, seeing as this is just over a week away, have we decided anything about food yet?Also, it sounds like a pretty sure thing my friend Dave will be coming in his '07 Pontiac Solstice GXP !1. ponta2147 (Michelle) + Chris2. tpollauf (Tim P.)3. J_TO_ENVY (Carrie) + 14. houseofbugs (Tim H.) + 15. Boogietribe (Victor)6. DiveNut (Pat) - maybeI just IMed Jerry (ramenboy...) about whether he'd be able to make it or not. I checked Josh's (tribalman) profile and his last post was back on February 17, so I didn't bother IMing him since it seems he hasn't been on since then .

Pizza would be cheap, I can get a large cheese and a large meat for about $5 per person, BYOB although we have some coke, sierra mist, and iced tea we will donate to the cause (we gave up drinks with sugar) and some ice/cups/plates/napkins. Much easier than grilling!One week to go! Clean up your Vibes and get excited!

Much easier than grilling!One week to go! Clean up your Vibes and get excited!Pizza is fine by me. Like you said Michelle, it will be so much easier then grilling. I'll bring my own bottled water, and some extra for anyone who wants some, since I'm not a big pop drinker. Do we need anything else besides what you and Chris will be bringing? I'll bring four folding chairs again just in case we need them.Today I am re-painting the calipers and re-installing the 18s on my mom's Vibe. Tomorrow I'll be doing mine. Unfortunately our outside faucet is currently disconnected because the pipe started leaking about a month or so ago and we're waiting until the weather warms up a little more to have it replaced, so I will be spending Friday night at the car wash cleaning the Vibe up . At least I'll be able to bring it home to dry it, clean the interior, etc.Quote, originally posted by ramenboy... »Hey carThanx for the IM!If I don't have to head back out of town next weekend I'll be at busse.Woohoo!

I hope I don't end up like drivenut and have to bail at the last minute. Two out of tree members in my household are real sick, plus I apparently didn't give my wife enough notice about this? I don't know about that last comment. Brake lights are done & ready (I updated my avatar with a few of them) and I absolutely MUST install some of these. The weather look promising anyways. We shouldn't need winter jackets or snow shovels I'll update again this evening and first thing in the morning as to my status

Please with a cherry on top?" Hope everyone at your house feels better soon (hopefully within 24 hours lol)Hopefully it stops raining long enough to get my car to the car wash and back home for a towel off in the garage. I'd just wash it myself here but we literally have no hose hookup ((removed)) plus the interior needs a good cleaning and I have coupons for a free one. I've done nothing to it at all due to ridiculous crazy busy workness. It's just as well though, I have to use it to haul seven bags of clothes to Goodwill today!So, same grove as last year?

Two out of tree members in my household are real sick, plus I apparently didn't give my wife enough notice about this? I don't know about that last comment. Brake lights are done & ready (I updated my avatar with a few of them) and I absolutely MUST install some of these. The weather look promising anyways. We shouldn't need winter jackets or snow shovels I'll update again this evening and first thing in the morning as to my status Sorry to hear your wife and son are sick Tim . I hope they feel better quickly.I definitely hope you can make it, but if not we'll understand .Quote, originally posted by ponta2147 »Hopefully it stops raining long enough to get my car to the car wash and back home for a towel off in the garage.

It's disgusting, but I'm afraid I'll get it all cleaned up and it will rain tomorrow morning and it will get dirty again .I picked up dessert last night !I say same grove as last year, assuming no one else is there of course.

The Vibe is all cleaned up and ready to go . I washed it, but didn't bother with the interior because I was too lazy .Current weather forecast: Patchy fog early in the morning. Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance of light showers and thunderstorms. Much warmer. Highs around 70. Southeast winds around 10 mph.

Everybody's in bed. We'll see how all feel in the morning and the mood the wife is in It's still a possibility that I'll make the trip. I'll update early in the morning my fate. I need this road trip for my sanity so we'll see what choice I make

Pizza ordered, being delivered to our place around 11:15-11:30, right before we head out to the grove. Yum! $5/ea if you want any, we've also got coke, sierra mist, and iced tea.I should probably go to bed now.I got a basic exterior and interior wash done, so at the very least the car is presentable. The horns are not installed, maybe I'll bring them with so we can all poke around with them If it starts to rain, our place is available!

Thanks again to you and Chris for ordering the pizzas . You should totally bring the horns so we can mess around with them! It'll give us something to do .It rained here this morning already . I'm hoping the roads are dry by the time I'm ready to leave .I should be leaving Sandwich about 10:00, so I may be there a little early. Everyone have a safe trip.

Wife was still real sick and I had to transport our son to and from the testing center for his ACT test. I have to go get him @ 1pm, thus I'm going to miss out on another fun day I'm going to attempt to make this up REAL SOON though. If Carrie wouldn't mind meeting for lunch somewhere off the turnpike midway from us both (say South Bend or so) then not only will I treat for lunch, but we'll deliver & install those 3rd brake lights.I'll contact you directly with other possible ideas. One way or the other I'm getting these to you guys before summer gets here. Have fun without me
