I didnt say that, but you may be referring to JIM, lol!

When I first saw Jim's username I thought his real name would be Matt as well. There is only room for 1 Matt in KC anyway

Jim,

I am driving to ks as we speak. I just had a typical angry black guy pull up next to me and throw his pop and something else at my car. My car has a ding now and is covered in soda. A good start to the trip. I got his license plate but is there even a point to report him.

Saturday Evening Meeting Location

We are changing things up a little on where we are meeting before Dave & Busters. Instead of the Berbiglia Liquor store parking lot across from the dealership we will now be meeting at Marco Polo's/ Jaspers parking lot next to the dealership (on the same side of the street). The liquor store parking lot was getting too cramped for us and hard to get out of when we leave. We will be meeting at that parking lot a 6pm, and leaving around 6:30 to Dave & Busters.


Here is the address for Marco Polo/Jaspers Restaurants- 1201 W 103 St Kansas City, MO 64114


Again, let us know if you guys have any questions. We don't want anyone left out or to get lost. Hope this will be a fun time for those of you who haven't attended before.

Let's do this.

As with last year, it was a fantastic weekend! Great times for sure, didn't want it to end. Made it back to CO today in about 8 hrs or so, maybe a little less. Great seeing everybody from last time as well as meeting new homies! I will plan on making it into town earlier on Friday next year so I can fully participate in all festivities

As irony would have it, I'm 14 miles from my destination and I get pulled over...to give me a warning for not running a front plate. Bunch of crap. I'm dealing with him on the right shoulder of the highway, and an NSX and 360 Modena spider roll by...neither with a front plate of course. Glad it was just a "warning", but it's still so pointless! All was good with the drive back, just very long lol! Hope everybody else made it back without issue as well. Only 362 days or so until the 2014 meet weekend commences!

By the way, if anybody wants to roll out to CO, we'll do some sweet mountain drives and get some epic pictures with great backgrounds...just putting it out there lol!

Yup I just made it in as well.

That was a very long drive.

I am glad the fire alarm went off in the hotel around 7:40 am. That was a nice wake up call 20 minutes before the alarm and phone went off.

13 hours later I'm home.

This being my first event, the wife and I had a great time! Big thanks to the KC crew for putting everything together (and anyone else who was involved). It was really nice meeting all of you and we're already talking about making time to attend next year.
Made it 3/4 of the way home before I hit a rough patch of highway and bottomed out, lucky enough nothing came off or got jarred loose.

Maybe Matt will get everyone that Darth Vader as a door prize for next year's Meet!



Guys, plan on the 2014 meet to be the weekend before Father's Day once again. I think we've found a date that works year after year. This way, we're hopefully far enough away from college graduations and not too far into the late Spring/early Summer that we're not sweating our ass off.

Today was 92 degrees, so I think we found a formula that works.
