Right now Myself, Kevin (Goldnknight22), Ryan (eggs) and Carrie (CarrieLynn) are just about done with all of the planning.

Hotel Accomodations:

Red Roof Inn
1254 Riverdale Street
West Springfield, MA

This is more of a "budget" hotel with very basic amenities.

Residence Inn by Marriott
64 Border Way
West Springfield, MA

This hotel is literally right behind the Red Roof, and is much nicer. The rooms at Residence Inn's are "apartment style" meaning they have kitchens with appliances, nice beds, flat screens and sleep at least four people.

Itinerary thus far:

Friday, August 3rd 2012

• 8:00pm - Dinner at Louie B's on the lake in Southwick, MA. Same location as last year. Figured we had a pretty good time there and we were able to sit out side by the water, so the location was great.

Saturday, August 4th 2012 - Meet & Cruise Day

9:30am

Where:
TBD- Will be either the Italian Sporting Club again or Robinson State Park.

What: Car show, BBQ, Chinese Raffle to benefit Komen For The Cure.

Cost: Mandatory $10 donation per car (not per person). This will cover entry into the meet/show, participation in the cruise and a raffle ticket. All proceeds after overhead (food cost, venue rental, promotional items, raffle prizes, etc) will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure (Breast Cancer Awareness).
3:30pm

• We leave the Meet Location for a cruise through the hills and back roads of Western Massachusetts.
  
  This years cruise route will be determined this weekend, and will be posted shortly there after.

5:30 - 8:00pm

• For people staying overnight, this will be the time for you to get back to your hotel rooms, rest a bit, and get cleaned up for dinner, drinks and shenanigans.

8:00pm - ??:?? Dinner and drinks at Hooters of West Springfield

• I picked this location because for one, it's awesome, but more so because it's located literally right next door to the Red Roof Inn and the Residence Inn. It's a two minute walk, or five to ten minute stumble from the front door of Hooters to your hotel room. So there will be no need to worry about drinking and driving because you won't have to!!
• Carrie - Be nice to the Hooters Girls
• Eggs - Don't forget your tanktop.

In the mean time, I need volunteers in the New England area to assist as Coordinators.

Duties of coordinators will be to help setup the meet/show, cook, break everything down, and lead groups of cars for the cruise. IIRC, the entire one hour cruise route has MAYBE three traffic lights, and I think two stop signs so it will be pretty easy to keep everyone together. The cruise leaders are just a precaution. I am going to do my best to arrange another Police Escort from the meet location again, but it isn't a definite. But considering I was a big part of the Mayors Campaign and win this past fall, I don't think it will be an issue. Because of this it will also be your responsibility to make sure everyone is on their best behavior.

Burn outs, mAd tYtE drIfTz and other general douchebaggery WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

If you want to volunteer as a coordinator please PM me or email jbmiller616 at gmail dot com

4 DAYS!!!!!!!!

We look to be all set for the weekend. Justin has made us dinner reservations for friday night at Louie B's for 8pm.
I am assuming everyone that has a room reserved will be arriving at different times on Friday. If you would like to have dinner with us Friday evening please meet us in one of the hotel parking lots no later than 7:15pm and we will cruise to the restaurant together. If you arrive later than that and would like to join us the address is - 101 Point Grove Road Southwick, MA 01077
(413) 569-3466

I plan on arriving at the Residence Inn early on Friday to get everything set up and help people with anything they may need. Please feel free to call me if any of you need anything at all when you arrive (860) 334-1272.

Also it would be a BIG help if everyone could make sure they have a washed car, (if you desire), and enough gas on FRIDAY NIGHT. Please remember its very difficult to fit 30+ cars into the car wash or gas station on Saturday morning.

Thanks everyone, see you in a few days!!!

GoldnKnight22

Woohoo!!!!!!!!! See some of you tonight...... the rest of you, tomorrow morning!


It's CanAm, bitches!

VieTLover

vmodi89

GoldnKnight22

We had an awesome time! It was reallly hot out....but the cruise was a lot of fun. The Reservoir that we stopped at was an awesome location... look for those pics! And the shenanigans that took place Saturday night at the hotel..... epic. Really no other way to describe it.


Not gonna lie, I did expect to see more of you Azine-ers there.

BostonSilverTypeS

^man sucks missed another year, forgot about a baby shower I had to go to on Saturday or else I would have been there......Glad though it turned out to be good for those who did show up

GoldnKnight22

Umm, since when do guys go to baby showers???

Whatta ripoff, lol.

BostonSilverTypeS

^agree but alot of family was there that I haven't seen so it was a much needed event....In our family baby showers are like parties(not to mention drinks were there as well) and more like a family get together!! But yeah usually baby showers are not for guys or boring!!
