QC V-Dubs GTG :: Saturday, April 7, 2007

[DSV]

I pulled this info from a Midwest thread on Vortex:


http://www.fupcmoline.org/qcvdubs.jpg


It is official: QC V-DUBS will have a Spring Get Together.

When: Saturday, April 7, 2007, 10:00 a.m., 10:30 departure.

Where: We will meet at King Plaza on Avenue of the Cities. (Old Sears parking lot, across the street from Coop Tapes & Records in Moline)

What: Combination GTG. We will meet for a few minutes while we wait for everyone to show, at 10:30 on the dot we will leave for the Mississippi Palisades State Park in Savanna along IL 84. We will enter the southern gate and head up to the Twin Sisters site.

Up in the Palisades we will have a cookout. Bring your own food/beverages. Silverware, cups and plates will be provided.

This should be a great opportunity for us all to actually meet together in a relaxed environment and talk Dubs, our hatred for Mustangs, and come up with a solution for the world's energy crisis.

hopefully we can get a few guys out to their GTG. :tu: :tu:

hEY DSV I KNOW QC PRETTY GOOD DON'T SWEAT IT. JUST NEED TO KNOW IF YOUR DRIVIN UP FRI OR SAT SO WE CAN MEET YOU SOME PLACE I'LL BE GOING UP FRIDAY.

[DSV]

since we have family in Muscatine, we may drive in on Friday, but it wouldn't be until late. plus we'd stay the night in Muscatine, so we probably couldn't follow you guys into QC.

[cadwiz]

Alright We Could Meet Some Where On Sat Morning. I Mean As A Whole Every One From Pkg Then Drive Over Ther Should Prob. Be Over To The Meeting Place In Moline By Ten So We Should Probablly All Meet Some Where At 9 To Get Over There.

Thanks for the welcome. I wasn't going to join because I belong to too damn many car forums already :D But this one seems to be another pretty good one. Thanks for directing me in the right direction. I probably won't make too many Iowa appearances unless I'm out at the U of I.

[DSV]

Actually, there are a couple other Bimmer guys on here, but they just joined within the last few days. We organize some sort of meet at least once a month so I'm sure we'll see the BMWs soon enough. :D

Also I've Called Charlatan 3-4 Times And He Has Not Returned My Calls. So I Really Don't Think It's Happening Anymore. We Should All Gtg At Albert Lea Now In My Opinion. We Should Have Stickers Then And What A Good Way To Promote The Rally For Dyamond Also... Just Thoughts.:d

Have you checked on QC-Vdubs' site? I'd check but it's blocked at work for some reason.

[cadwiz]

Yes Not Alot Of Talk About It.:d

[CHARLATAN]

Okay folks, this is a reminder that a little over a week from now we will have our QC V-DUBS Spring Get Together. Please post up if you plan on attending. Also might help if you mention that you are bringing food, and what type, so we don't end up with 20 bags of chips, and nothing else.

The latest info is really a meet that will be here:

http://www.fupcmoline.org/qcvdubs.jpg


It is official: QC V-DUBS will have a Spring Get Together.

When: Saturday, April 7, 2007, 10:00 a.m., 10:30 departure.

Where: We will meet at King Plaza on Avenue of the Cities. (Old Sears parking lot, across the street from Coop Tapes & Records in Moline)

Up in the Palisades we will have a cookout. Bring your own food/beverages. Silverware, cups and plates will be provided.

There is a park-style bbq there, but it is small (not more than 6 burgers at a time?). So, if you actually want to bbq, you would need to bring a bag of charcoal, lighter fluid, burn salve, etc.) =)

This should be a great opportunity for us all to actually meet together in a relaxed environment and talk Dubs, our hatred for Mustangs, and come up with a solution for the world's energy crisis. :laugh:

charlatan -- would you like us to post over at the QCV-dub forum or should we make a list of who's going here?

Either or my friend. Make one here, and i can copy it over to the Vortex thread.

FOLKS...how many are wanting to use a BBQ? Versus, bringing pre-made sandwiches, etc.

We would need all the stuff for that, lighter fluid, charcoal, etc.

I am supplying all paper products (cups too), so we have all that taken care of.

STUFF FOR BBQ TO THINK ABOUT/SIGN UP FOR

1. Meat....mmmm....meat.
2. Condiments (Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Lettuce, Tomatoes, CHEESE!)
3. Chips
4. Beverage of choice (whiskey shots?) :P
5. Utensils to cook with/flip burgers
6. BBQ sauce for people that will do chicken versus beef or whatever
7. Soda...ice/cooler 2 liters are cheapest
8. Rubbers, for the hookers showing up later...
9. Mary Jane? :)

Anyway, this will be REALLY relaxed, and should be a great time, can't wait to meet some of you guys.

I had a problem with that at first. I had to really think about what it said. :)

[CHARLATAN]

Looks like we have people bringing:

1. Brats (how many?), Chips, 2 cases of pop - JOHN 2.0T (charlatan will bring at least one package of brats too)
2. Buns, Hot dogs, Hamburgers(?) - Filipz
3. Condiments (Ketchup, cheese, lettuce, mustard - iowaboostin
4. Napkins, plates, silverware, cups (do we need these if we are doing pop cans or beer cans?) - CHARLATAN
5. Charcoal / lighter fluid - Gee Tea Eye V and 1FastB5 (small grill too)
6. Beer - Ndorfenz
7. Cookies - Corradochick


Thoughts: Looks like brats are the meat of the day, so we might not need hamburger buns...post up if you want burgers and buns. If we don't do burgers, no point in bringin lettuce.

Is anyone wanting a pasta salad, or anything? Just sign up for it if you do.

People going for sure:

Let's keep getting the word out!

****While it can be hidden well, alcohol is probably not allowed in the park, but that never stops anyone...and i have never seen the patrol come to the area we are going to (Twin Sisters). I am not discouraging it whatsoever...just making people aware...and, if you do get too tipsy, then drive and wreck your dub, i got dibs on parts.****

[iowaboostin]

[iadubber]

Holy Crap! I might be able to go! The wedding I was going to go to with Aka.Beave we might just go to the reception. That means that most of the day is free as long as we can get back to DBQ by around 4ish. Might have to leave the picnic early, but it might be worth it. That is if I still have my 03 VW. Someone is supposed to look at it in LaCrosse on Friday. :fingerscrossed:

BEAVE!! What do you think about this?

[iowaboostin]

^ Awesome! Who wants to go to the actual wedding anyways? The reception's where it's at :D open bar/keg?

[iadubber]

Most def. open bar for beer anyways. :) and there is such a lag time between the wedding and actual reception. Tim, do you know when the wedding actually is? and when the reception starts? I lost my invite :(

[iadubber]

Does someone have a cell phone number they can pm me in case I get lost? I should be fine, I'm pretty experienced with QC, but just in case. Thanks!! I'm about 95% sure I am at least going for the cruise and cookout. Probably not a cruise back to QC. I'm only about 40 minutes from Savanna.

[iowaboostin]

^ Not sure if I can be much help (not familiar with the QC area) but PM/cell sent anyway :tu:

Yeah I'm going on friday night - I'm going to confirm with Brian as soon as he gets back on AIM... or checks here.

That meeting point sounds good - what time do you guys want to get there friday night?

[filipz]

Just a FYI....weather for Saturday is around 37 for a high.:eek: Better bring some firewood while we're at it.

[turboA4]

haha yeah...we got a little off topic...well jakeypoopy and i will be leavin ames around 2....soooo idk

[John2.0T]

[turboA4]

haha yeah...we got a little off topic...well jakeypoopy and i will be leavin ames around 2....soooo idk
ummm...we wont be in IC until prolly 430......

[DubWalkn]

If anyone is driving past iowa city saturday morning let me know what time and we can meet up quick and caravan to QC.

[turboA4]

i know sml and 1fastb5 will be heading through in the morn...

[iowaboostin]

I'm calling to make reservations over lunch break in a few minutes. I work Friday til ~3:30pm so I probably won't be able to make it to Coralville til 5pm at the very EARLIEST, I can just meet you guys in Rock Island though. I'll put the room under my name, if they won't let you in without me there then just have them call me :tu:

[iowaboostin]

Got the room reserved :tu: executive room, double bed, coffee maker (much needed for me), etc, etc. I also have a queen-sized inflatable bed for whoever. They only had non-smoking rooms left, sorry for those who smoke. As of right now I'm the only one on the reservation, I don't know if they're going to make a fuss about having a bunch of adults in one room or not. So what we can do is just put two other names on there since you guys are going to beat me there, get the keys and just sneak the others in if needed.

Can we get an updated list on who's gonna be staying? It's $129 split between however many.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

ill be there :tu: thanks for makin the reservations!!

[turboA4]

Hey! you are da bomb!!! i think i saw on one of the sites that the reservation was good for up to 5 people...so i think its ok....i will be there for shizzle
