Starting to plan for a Jersey Shore rally next spring (April-May). Location: Cape May Point, NJDate TBD by December 2004.How many would be interested in visiting the scenic Jersey Shore for a Vibe rally?

Sounds great to me!

I might be able to show for that. Keep us posted Mike.

I'll be doing my usual 80 mph on 295 in a couple of weeks. Let's gather in Surf City!

that would be cool. maybe i'll have to plan another little trip. lol

You must come to the total opposite side of the continent......you haven't lived until you've seen scenic Newark Airport...

well, would depend when the meet would be... if next spring, then ya, i could prob swing it. but in the fall, i may not be able to break away.

More likely than not next year...don't want to inundate the summer with rallies...if you have too many not enough people will be able to make them...

Ill be there.

When I went out to Calgary, I couldn't find any flights outta philly...depending on airlines, I suspect it's similar coming into the country...

Must be a one-way thing then...

Have revised this post, rally is being planned for next season only. Sorry, no Jersey Shore this year.

Anais and I would love to come for a visit of the scenic jersey beach next spring!

Bring the kid! Jersey is family friendly...sorta...

They always show our bad side...

A sneak preview for next summer:

ooooo! looks like be a fun place for sure!

Looks a lot like Nova Scotia... very nice.

Excited yet? Visit New Jersey (618 kb, WMV)

With the location now pinned at Cape May Point, NJ, I'd like to resurrect this poll and regauge interest in this rally...

See you in Cape May!

Sweeeet!

Great! I'm in, can't wait for the summer now!

Im looking foward to this. What month are you considering?

It will likely be in July sometime...

There may be a location change folks, I've made several attempts to contact the town of cape may for info and they don't seem to interested in helping out...

Been to Cape May, nice place. Not sure I could swing a trip to their with the wife and kid, but would sure be interested!!!

Well, I was VERY close to just killing the entire idea of a Jersey shore rally...but a certain someone prodded me enough to reignite my motivation...I will be on the phone with Cape May tomorrow...If I can't get satisfaction with them, however, I will have to relocate the meet...Stay tuned for details...

UPDATE:So, I've lived in Jersey my whole freakin life, and never been down south...apparantly, there are SEVERAL towns with the name Cape May!Cape May Point is allegedly a small town with 600 homes and a single solitary business -- a general store. No beaches, no nothing..Cape May CITY has a nice long stretch of main street, beaches, hotels, etc.I called a person at the civic board of Cape May City, he will call me back. If things go the way I hope, the Vibe's will get a prominant spot right on a stretch of Main Street for our "show!"Stay tuned for more details!!!

I'd love an excuse to get down to Cape May again. It's a great place for birding. I just need to get my Vibe, now.

Ok!We're making progress...Talked to a guy in Cape May City today, he's going to look into finding us "show" space and rooms...They have a downtown "mall" area where they usually have antique car shows, but those are limited to 40 cars...he's gonna see if they can accomodate more (since I don't know how many are going yet) and get back to me next week...Stay tuned in!

Any updates on them helping us find a location?I'm really looking forward to this rally.

Cape May city couldn't have us -- not enough room. They directed me to Wildwood city convention center. The convention center wanted $2500 for just half a building. They suggested a park in Wildwood, across the street from the waterfront...I've sent off a letter to the town commisioner requesting use of the space. Awaiting a response...

Well folks, it's with great regret I announce that I must CANCEL the 2005 Jersey Shore meet. Due to a mix of both personal and logistical reasons (mainly, no city seems to want us), I just can't see myself finding any place to meet on time, and still have people book hotels.I hate to do it, but we'll make a killer Western PA meet instead. I'm going to start working on Jersey Shore 2006 by mid summer, so we won't hit any snags come next year!

Well that sucks..

We'll do a mini meet or somethign instead...so we're not totally without a local one!

Boooo

Maybe someday I will get the opportunity to go to my first Genvibe meet. I was really hoping this would have been it!

Well, frankly, I wasn't expecting such a rousing response to it's cancellation, so I'll see if I can do something smaller instead...Stay tuned...

thanks for the update, too bad it isn't what i wanted to hear but things happen.
