So once it starts getting warmer out where are we going to invade?

Last year it was Krispy Kreme and Porkys.

I think Porkys worked best as it was more central, but KK also had some nice turn outs.

Maybe plan something Mon, Tues, and Wed so people have a few days to choose form?

I'm all for KK

We could do much of the same and just change as we see fit. Maybe make Porky's Tues. rather than Monday since BWW wasn't that great as far as turn-out was concerned. KK worked well on Weds.

Agree with Chris. Two days, two different places. If someone wants to suggest something for Monday go ahead.

Yeah, I didn't like BW3 since it was indoors and new people would have a hard time finding the regualrs. What about Monday?

Maybe make Monday and Tuesday Porkys to give a central location 2 days and Wednesday be KK in Maple Grove?

Thursday = day of rest

Fri and Sat are midway and Sunday is usually a car event of some sort.

Sounds good to me, I like the idea of a central place like porkies even though its not really central because Downtown Mpls is central not St. Paul. But its close enough.

KK was fun, only downfall it is far but once a week or every other is fine. I wish there was something more toward the south metro as everything is north of 94 that we do ussually. Are there any places south of like 62 that we can hang out at?

There was Shooters...

Yea I now, not many people showed up at all and half of the time I couldnt cuz of class at night but this summer will be fun. We might have to start going as early as next week becuase its supposed to be 60 on thursday :banana:

I am in for KKK. I went to Porkeys once and there were not many people. Shooters sucked for me this winter because I had to work till 8 and I have school at 8. Had to have sometime for homework.

I vote Porky's, as I will be a very short distance from there (I will be living in Dinkytown one block from University).


And just to remind everyone, I can and will host a Halo Tourney at my apartment complex (The Melrose). It has a 75 person Theatre with hookups for Game Systems, and a 10 ft tall projection screen. Let me know... :banana:

Peter, if you can think of another easy place to meet more on the south side just let us know. I think it has to be a place where we can hang out, have food only if we want. The bad part of Shooters is it was expensive. Yeah, you could go and just stand around, but that's not very fun when you only have a handfull of people.

I like the idea of Mon & Tues being Porky's nights, and Wed KK in Maple Grove. We can always switch up based on turnout....

Shooters does seem very expensive, I know me and CVD played there for only 2 hours and it came to like $16 or $17! The idea of having to get food/spend money only if desired is a good idea...both KK and Porky's seem to fit that bill. I think we should have a meet at my house where I buy some pizzas and watch everyone else put my car together :cheers:

My plans.


To get my car up and running. That'll take till about July or so. After that Build the crap out of Jenny's 1G. Probably something simular to my 2G.

And try to make a lot of Movies this summer. I need something new to watch.

Yea Im not sure of anyplace down here that is like KK or Porkies. They worked nicely. I like going its just a drive.

Anybody know anyplace south of 62 that is a good hangout?

you guys are all whinning about a drive, it would be 42 miles for me, anyone else close?

Well, there is a KK in Eden Prairie, and it's right by a few other restaurants (Chipotle, Noodles, Bear Creek Cafe, Ruby Tuesday, Culvers,etc) and Caribou as well. It's got a pretty big parking lot. So that might be an option if ppl want to drive over by my work.

I didnt know that, I thought there were only 2 locations in MN, Mall of america and the one we met at up in the north metro. That is an idea. Its up to you guys, not many people are chiming on where they want to drive to or hang out.

that KK is kinda shitty. Its in a boring area.

I'd be willing to give the EP KK a try...just once and see how it works out.

The best thing about Porkys is the ability to be outside and covered in case of light rain. KK also adds to that with room inside and it's pretty open for people to see their cars and such. Plus we know the KK in MG doesn't mind us there and Porkys always welcomes people to chill.

The Porky's and KK options of course are my favorite as well. Both were cool last year. In an effor to make another spot more central to the southern crowd, what about somewhere in Bloomington near the mall like TGI's or the Denny's off of France Ave and 494? There are a lot of good spots down that way that could work.

Denny's is good idea, but inside a restaurant we would have to be careful about noise levels...and everyone would pretty much have to buy something.

Peter, if I remember correctly the EP KK is off Eden Prarie drive and 212. It is pretty new. I haven't gone there before, just driven by.

Well south of 62.


Apple Valley is becoming an up andcoming business area. East of 77 they just put up 2 new Shopping Strip Malls, with Kohls, KK, Menards, etc,etc

As usual, with warmer weather you can cruise 7 nights a week in A.V. and find something to play with, just watch the Po PO they are fully aware that it's a popular place for hanging out. Most nights parking is at the McDonald's. or the Movie Theatre parking lot.

There are actually a few quick cars there to play with. Besides the old guys that come out every once and a while. (ie: 10sec cars) Most are just high schoolers with rich parents, or what have you. The fastest one being a 440whp camaro with the license plate being "0260B4U" But he blew his stuff up last year. He might have it back together, but being as it's winter and no ones out I haven't talked to him.

-brian

Too bad a 300whp AWD will do 0-60 before a 440whp Camaro on the street.

I say we all hang out at QPR. :)

He blew his motor up racing Mike (with the White Turbo Civic from Texas).


-brian

The 10 second sohc that doesn't goto the track?

Maybe have a burn-out contest in their dirt parking lot :banana:

The beater is already excited, and the Miata wants in too.

Ahhhhhh, no cause then we would have to deal with Tom!!! ;)

I don't think AT cars can do burnouts....at least not Tom's :razz2:

Something like that.


Anycase he might be coming back from Texas with a whole new set up. You guys that razzed him made him go back to the drawing boards.

He sold his entire turbo Set up and Motor. This year he's going DOHC and something else.


Maybe TypeSlude will know.


-Brian

I think we should all hang out at Elite ;)

j/k

I think let's try KK & Porky's and once in a while we can maybe throw in a different place further south.

How about this Monday night??? At Porky's. Supposed to be nice. We'll see.

:banana:

I vote that you go to KK at least sometimes so I can come up again :D I love KK.

i say we build a tree house, with rope ladders, and a sign that says "no girlz or hondaz"

That is the coolest idea yet. Memories... ohh memories.. :banana:

Except some girls should be welcome :)

:naughty:

Girlz have to be allowed!!

:naughty:

Girlz have to be allowed!! [/b][/quote]
Most definatly they have to be allowed.... Are you actually going to tell me that you would rather hang out with all males and no females ;)

Maybe he does... I didnt say girls werent allowed! ;)
