Yeah, we've tried to get one going every year. 2 out of three we had a route planned and we where going to toss some version of poker in to make it a poker run with some prizes. No intrest. We where talking about doing in on the admin/mod section of the site again, but then you and Peter posted up with the event so we are going to let you 2 run with it and see if it gets more success.

As for the cruise, just keep people aware of it. If they don't see it, then it slips from their mind and they will make other plans.

As for noobs, I think the problem is that they are shy and won't feel welcome. Everyone I have met on here is pretty cool. Be a little out going and give it a shot! Introduce yourself and don't be too shy. You'll get accepted pretty quick.

Yea I was shy At the dyno day at lse..I had a couple of buddys along but I really didn't go out there be like HI! I'm just kinda shy though.. As far as like night outs go and stuff I'm only 19 and can't drinkso I really never see the point I'm not big of a clubing person though.. I would like to make it out to applebees or somthing but everytime I try either somthing comes up or I forget. But it seems Like I work with a couple of guys that are on here..So hopefully I will know some more people! But ya I will probley be able to go out more now That I have a job where I get nights off. But alot of the things have been kida short notice too. But like I said hopefully I will be able to go out more and meet you guys!

I personally don't care for clubs, and from the stories that have been shared of the past BBQs I don't care for the drunken shenanigans either. I willingly skipped the last BBQ at Brandon's so I could go sit next to Lake Minnetonka at Maynard's and drink tall glasses of Stella Artois all night with a few friends.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sitting at a bar like Joe Senser's, TGI Friday's, or even Applebee's, polishing off some food with drinks in hand and shooting the shit for hours on end. I'm a big fan of hole in the wall bars that (sometimes) have cheap beer and good food, much like JJ's Clubhouse on 394 in Golden Valley.

For real, these guys are the most welcoming bunch out there. Just come ready to have a good time. Starting fire to something usually gets you in pretty good too!!

If you want to plan events on a car messageboard, then make the events car related. Thats the ones I'll attend. There is nothing wrong with having a get together for drinks or a something, but most noobs aren't going to show up.

Car cruises, BBQs at a park, go-karts, car shows. Those are the things that interest me. I didn't get shitfaced and passed out when I was a kid, and I'm not going out to do it now. ;)

I think the upcoming car cruise and dyno day are great ideas. Need more of those.

later,
Curt
