I'll update with more details later, sorry this is thrown together for now! I don't have internet at home and will be doing about 40 hours worth of work to my mk4 this week and out of town this weekend.

[SirRangeALot]

Thanks for getting this done Casey! :)

[Mkvdubnjetta]

:hmm: i am pondering it 988miles could be done in a hard day.....

[sarnac]

Thx Casey this helps a lot

Dooooooo eeeeeeeeeeettttt

Dooooooo eeeeeeeeeeettttt

I am tossing the idea back and fourth if I could get a second driver that would make the trip super easy on top of that I just took four days off of work I came back my warehouse was trashed and there was a litter of kittens Inside a indoors warehouse :WTF::rofl:

Crash at one of our places in Dubuque, IA the day before. Then you can cruise with all of us to the GTG.

[Saab900CE]

It would probably be cheaper to fly. If that's the case come in to Moline Airport (MLI is the airports code) and I will pick you up and you can stay here. ;)

[SirRangeALot]

Bump!

[sarnac]

Has anyone checked out sugarbottom lately I was online on Iowa sneak site and it said some of it was closed due to flood damage

[sarnac]

That was Iowa department of natural resources site.

[OrangeDUB]

Oh damn, I'll have to drive up there on the way home some time this week and see for myself. Thanks for the heads up!

[sarnac]

Yeah its worth checking so there is no problems later Thx.

[1FastB5]

I'm sure we can pick an alternate site if needed. Its almost a month out yet so you'd think it would be back open by then.

Between me and Anthony (Anchovi777) we have a fleet of Euro cars. Believe me I'm sure you can drive one of them and represent anyway.

[bigrobsa]

:hmm: i am pondering it 988miles could be done in a hard day.....

It sure can!

I do ~1100 miles in 16-17hrs straight. 988 is a cakewalk! ;)

[Mkvdubnjetta]

very true!...but remember i am coming from the eastcoast where traffic is a cluster fuck i am thinking if i start hammering down around 4/5 am i could get to ia around 8/9pm-ish

Thanks SOOOO much Todd, Jason, and Sam for making that idea a reality :tu:

EDIT: Also, I plan on cruising through Sugar Bottom on my way home from work today to see how the park is doing after the high water levels.

[vrjetta98]

This is the homeopener for Iowa.....Prolly shoulda said this before but I will prolly not be there.

[OrangeDUB]

I drove through the park yesterday, and everything was a-ok. The bike trails were closed due to flooding. Also I need to change the route, it's close but not the exact location!

[-JB-]

Season ticket holder so I'm out too. I'll be too drunk to drive anywhere afterwards anyways. Have fun!!

[lenny]

Son of a bitch. Looks like I more than likely won't be there then. Go Hawks!

[Saab900CE]

Cosmic Gate in Chicago rules all!!! I've been waiting a year and a half to see these guys!

[dudepal]

ill still be there post game, maybe we could move the time back a little so the people that are gonna watch the game can do so and still go.

[1FastB5]

pkg gtg is far more important than football!

:computer:this month is going to shit! i need a bunch of shit for my car next big gtg i am coming

[Mkvdubnjetta]

sounds kinky! :tu:

[OrangeDUB]

Well if we pushed it a weekend further would that work for everyone? My cousins actually getting married that day.. Or what about doing it on Sunday the 5th??

[Mkvdubnjetta]

just flatout broke :td: looks like its gonna be a blast too! FML!

[LilRaverBoi]

Woah, woah, woah....I thought the date was kinda set!! Now it's changing?

[SirRangeALot]

*Sigh*

You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

[OrangeDUB]

Well people are dropping like flies because of stuff going on that Saturday, but it was just a suggestion.

if we moved it to Sunday the 5th would that be better or worse?

We are still a few weeks away :tu:

[SirRangeALot]

I'm fine with Sunday...guess I can just either eat the day off I requested already or cancel it. Not a big deal. It depends on what works with everyone else though.

EDIT: BTW...whoever is in charge of the merch now...word to the wise, bring lots and lots of merch, especially stickers. (I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and still don't have them. ;)) I can wait until then, no biggie, but I'm sure some of the people that show up will buy stickers and shirts. :)

[ChinaMan]

agreed i ordered a shirt and havent gotten it yet either. i like the sunday idea that way those of us who are hawks can see the game and still rag on sunday with our Whips... btw any ideas with a cruse yet?

[kaninchen]

ah....i just got the day requested off......i dont think i cant switch it. If not then oh well

[twooly]

Just stick with the day, people already took the day off. I'm sure people will still be out there later so they can come out if they want to.

[sarnac]

:facepalm: We should just stick to the plan and not keep changing things not everyone will come or even think of putting there club first

[lenny]

:facepalm: We should just stick to the plan and not keep changing things not everyone will come or even think of putting there club first

I agree. The plan was the plan and should stay the plan. I'll do my best to make it out a little later
-Dan

[OrangeDUB]

Ok we will stick with Saturday, pretend I didn't say anything. I didn't know how committed everyone was to Sept 4th is all :D

There will be merch there and I'm sure TJ (now has the merch and in charge of it) will have every piece of it with him.

[SirRangeALot]

Fuggin' A. :tu:

Next order of business: what foods/drinks peoples are bringing.

Discuss.

:hungry:

[1FastB5]

there use to be a mexican store on first ave on the south side of town, a few blocks from the river. I'm not sure if they reopened since the flood though. i'll ask my sister tomorrow where shes her mexican food supplies from.

[Saab900CE]

You should go to Cosmic Gate with us instead. ;)

It's still there, but is a restaurant now. I think they still might have the tienda (store) in the back, though. I haven't been in it since the flood.
