Get together at Rodney's place in Milwaukee - PICTURES

That's the part that always pisses me off!

We drive to an event, everyone parks their car's, we look at the cars, and then everyone drives off by themselves in the early afternoon.

That's why I started taking Jan & Inger, and anyone else that cared to join us, out to dinner after their parties. Anything else just becomes so anti-climactic.

I can assure you, when Billiam comes to an event, everybody doesn't just 'go home'!

How bout' we take Rodney out for a beer (though he is on a diet), or plan to meet up for dinner or a cocktail while we're heading south; just something different than 'okay, we sat around all day, now everyone go your own way'.!!!

I HAVE SPOKEN,

'The Emp'

P.S. I know 'The Empress Haley', would agree too.

 

Sounds good to me. I think we just need someone to ask, and they did. Any suggestions on where to make the stop?

 

See what I mean Johnny; no one other than you and I are showing any interest!

This is the way it's always been with the FCA, and now the FOC.

If Billiam comes to the event, at least we can expect 3 of us to do something afterwards!

But for Billiam, it's probably a 2 to 2/12 hour drive home from Rodney's; maybe 3 hours.

 

It would be good to do something on the way back.

 

I'll see that, and raise ya 5!

 

Agreed - sound's like a good idea.

 

I'll look around on the Internet and see if there would be a place worthy of our visit. I am kind of partial to a microbrewery type place where we can experience some different brews and enjoy the atmosphere.

I think there are some around Kenosha.

Other ideas are welcome.

 

Neato, have a title now...wonder if I can get a free bowl of soup with it?

A beer or gimlet sounds goodly to me up by Mr. Rodney, or if you all like, I can see about finding a place over on the flatlander side to set aside parking spaces for us as a small group. Let me know if that is something folks might like.

 

Well, I've been given clearance by the 'Grand Pooba' of FOC Midwest (Andreas), to pick up the tab for members of FOC Midwest, for 'The event after the event.'

If you're not already a member, I suggest you join soon.

I will be asking for proof of membership!

Empress, since you're the expert in organization, I would love it if you would handle the details!

 

Since YOU're sitting on the treasure chest, I have little say in this anyhow.
Just keep it non alcoholic please.

Da Grand Pooba

 

Probably the “after party” will be at a Starbucks that serves triple mocha hexa-strength coffee. We will be seeing a lot of windshield time that weekend! Traveling to and from Iowa on Saturday. Hopefully the weather will be good for Sunday after all I don't want to get water spots on the car before Watkins Glen.

 

Any idea how many people are attending yet?

 

Andreas stated in an earlier post the FOC will coordinate a drive to this event. The drive is open to all.

We will meet on N. Shore Drive in Lake Bluff, IL just before the entrance to LFSC (Lake Forest Sports Cars), on Sunday August 26th at 9:00 AM. See the 1st map below.
We will then take Green Bay Rd. North to Wisconsin. Caledonia WI is just NW of Racine (see the 2nd map) so it should be nice driving once we hit the border.

See you there!

If anyone is taking a count, I am in and will have my navigator with me.

 

Dave, 9AM, ya gotta be kidding!

That's like an hour and a half after I go to bed!

 

Well, not to promote lameness, but I've got little kids. Sometimes getting to the event is challenging enough, let alone finding a babysitter that can stay all day or night, and there is also the notion that my wife HATES, which is being over an hour away from home if something happens.
I'd love to stay to the bitter end of every event, but my reality says it is not reality!

back to the regular programming.....

I'd love to hit this event, but we are closing on a new house 4 days before, and A LOT needs to be done, plus pack up the other house before Sept 1....
Can I come up with any more excuses?!?!?
Maybe I can swing it...

 

We will plan on being there at 9:00. Hopefully it won't take us long to get home from the Bears game the night before.

 

Well, for now put me down for two.

 

Rodney,

The weather will be great, don't worry about it.

 

Rodney, don't fret!

As you know, I'll need diet pop; preferably a clear cola.

The hardest part is going to be getting up early enough to caravan with the crew.

Who said 9:00am..........SHEESH!

P.S. A little history: Years ago, when I got my 1st computer, it was Rodney that suggested I use the tag on my Roller as my email address and user name, on different sites. Thus, DA ROLLS.

At the time, I didn't even know how to turn a computer on, much less know what I was going to do with it!

 

And not much has changed since...
