I'm going to be talking to my buddy today/tomorrow about him possibly coming with me. He does photography on the side, so it would be nice to see what he can do. And I'm sure he'll bring his nice ass camera.

Lawlergaggzorz

i'm definitely going to ask that weekend off work. Count me in as a maybe for now. My car should have a completely different color scheme going on

mattastick

Sounds good. If you want to meet up and head up that way in a little caravan (yes, of 2 cars but whatever) let me know. I'll be picking up my buddy in Wilmington, and we could meet at like the Robert's Center or something like that, since it's right off 71.

Lawlergaggzorz

yeah sounds good to me man. i'm trying to bring a buddy but we'll see if he can go.

Hope you can make it out man

XxAtTheGatesxX

I should be bringing a copilot with me who already said he's down for taking rolling shots.

mattastick

I told my buddy he'll have the 4 hour trip up there to get all of his camera settings right for rolling shots... So, I'm thinking 2 CL's side by side the whole way up 71. What do you say, lawler?

Lawlergaggzorz

Sounds baller!

mattastick

Awesome awesome. I definitely looking forward to this meet and finally putting faces with some names.

So lawler are you coming?

mitch14

Matt and lawler: if you guys are heading up 71 to boardman, want to meet up somewhere around Akron or so, so we can have an even bigger caravan of cl's rolling to boardman?
I'm going to be booking my hotels soon, but I should be staying in cleveland or around there
Let me know

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Mitch, Tyler (AtTheGates) will be coming from the cleveland area also

mcajka

pictures. YAY

XxAtTheGatesxX

Akron area really, so if you guys wanna all meet there I'm up for that.

mattastick

As soon as I saw this comment, I thought about Tyler being in Akron. I'd be game to meet up there and run all 4 cars over to Boardman. Let me know when you get your hotel booked and we'll work something out.

I'm going to get things sorted out with Mitch, and once I do, I'll let you know.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Can some of the maybe guys let us know a definite yes or no, so we can get a better count?

iTrader: (1)

damn, i was just in Grove City last week with my girl and definitely would've came (if it was last week). have fun though

mattastick

Another 9 days till this meet. Any other maybes changed to yes or no?

iTrader: (6)

Sent a pm to anyone who was a maybe in this thread. Meet time is 1 PM in Boardman Ohio, right outside Youngstown. Please let me know who all is a definite so I can get a final head count. Thanks

Lawlergaggzorz

I'm a definite. I'll talk to my boss tomorrow but he shouldn't have a problem.

Mattastick I'm down for meetin up with you. Do you want to meet at the Jefferson Prime Outlets?

Someone shout out what hotel they're staying at and, maybe, if anyone is interested, we could all book a night at the same hotel. Just an idea.

mitch14

^i'm staying just South of Cleveland, but it is an hour or more from Boardman, so there is probably better choices for you guys that are somewhat local.
But hopefully we can all meet up in Akron or so.

Tyler: what is the best place to meet up? and also best highways or roads to take to Boardman, either scenic or just well paved roads.
This is gonna be good.

Chris: I'm a definite on coming to the meet. Where are we meeting up in Boardman exactly?

mattastick

I was going to suggest the Robert's Center in Wilmington. It's right off of I-71 off of SR-68. I think that'd be easiest since my buddy from Wilmington is riding with me to take pics.

XxAtTheGatesxX

I've been texting Matt all night. I'm gonna have you guys meet me in Norton, which is my hometown. It's on the way for you; it's right off 76/224. Super easy to get to. I'll hook you up with an address very soon. We're just going to meet in a parking lot right off of the exit.

Like Mitch said, do you have anything planned in Boardman yet Chris?

mcajka

this should be better than last years in terms of people coming.

i should have all my goodies on for this lets hope, thats if shipping comes through.

neuronbob

Put me down as tentative. I will of course be in the V. Already trying to talk the wife into not having me around for a couple of hours. I'd love rolling shots of my car .

Lawlergaggzorz

Alright that's cool. I'm bringing my girl along (as long as nobody cares ) and she lives right off of 68 so she isn't too far from it.

mattastick

I know the feeling of waiting on shipping... UPS is killing me right now. I can ship something to California via ground in 3 days. Colorado, though, for whatever reason takes 4 days. And it takes a week to get from Colorado to me. So I'm hoping to have everything ready to go by the time the subs get here on Tuesday so that it's not a horribly late Friday night.

My buddy's coming with me and bringing his fancy ass camera. I don't know anything about it, but he takes senior pictures and stuff like that with it, so it's obviously a nice one.

Doesn't bother me any. Does she live on the Wilmington side of 71 or the Dayton side? If she's on the Wilmington side, that would make things really easy since that's where I'll be coming from.

I figure we can meet at Southern Park Mall, and then drive over to one of the 2 parks that surround that area. There's a Chili's right on the corner of Market St. in the mall area, that has a pretty big lot behind it, I'm figuring we could take over part of that lot and meet up there.

7303 Market Street
Boardman, OH 44512-5611

There's the address of the Chilis, I figure we can meet up in the lot behind it

mattastick

Works for me. We still planning around 1pm meet time?

neuronbob

Cool. Mapquested it and transferred to OnStar. 60 miles from my house...about 45-50 minutes if my Valentine One keeps me from getting busted on the Turnpike.

Now planning to be there for an hour or two unless wife really, really needs me on that Saturday afternoon. Have given her fair warning, so should be OK.

Hoping I'm not the geezer of the group.

mattastick

Nice radar detector, Bob. I hope someday to have enough cash to get one of those... My buddy's dad had one in his S2k and it was sick.

Lawlergaggzorz

BAD F****** NEWS:

I talked to my boss today and it turns out one kid quit yesterday. Therefore I have to make up some of his shifts which happen to be next weekend.

Talk about SUPER BUMMED (caps needed).

XxAtTheGatesxX

^Damn that sucks for sure. Sorry to hear man.

mattastick

Sucks to hear Lawler.

XxAtTheGatesxX

Alright gentlemen, here's the address we'll be meeting up at in Norton.

3725 Cleveland Massillon Rd
Barberton, OH 44203-5614

It's right off 224/76. After you get off the exit, the parking lot will be immediately on the left after BP. I should be there around 12. Hopefully the lot isn't too crowded either.

Lawlergaggzorz
