Great photo opportunities near the lake and just a nice view and great time if the weather cooperates!! We always have a small but super nice bunch of people show up to the Milwaukee meets and the conversation, food, and of course the cars are worth the trip! Come on out for one of the last Midwest meets of the season...

It's looking like partly sunny and highs in the mid 70's!! I won't get too excited because it's still early and this is Wisconsin, but let's all cross our fingers and hope for a rare nice day here in Mil-town.

Thanks for the update SaraWI. I forgot to re-subscribe to this thread. After the forum update i lost all my subscriptions. I didn't know the date changed, I'm mad to say that I can't make it now. I have a video shoot scheduled for work right in the middle of the day. If for some reason it gets moved or changed then i will be out there for sure. Good luck guys/girls on the meet. I'm mad i'm missing the first meet thats been close enough to go to...

Believe me..I PM'd a lot of people. Anyone who was at a former meet as well as anyone who showed interest in this one. I'm glad for any extra organization as these things are hard to pull off, so thank you for PMing!

Well, we got 3 yes, a couple of no's and a whole lotta maybes. 3 more "yes"es and we go forward. Who else is would come for sure??

Sorry guys but I'm not ignoring this. I am waiting for my repaired headlight to be returned to me, I sent it off Monday and with some luck I'll get it back by the weekend.

Since it's so far maybe we could all meet up and take one car!
Yeah I know bad joke!

I'll keep checking to see if it's on!

IT WAS A JOKE! Sometimes it takes longer to drive to Chicago from my house than Wisconsin. We used to do it all the time when the drinking age was 18 on your side of the border.

Ok..so are we still on, people? I checked the weather again today and it still looks like a decent day. 70's and sunny. Going to be crap on Saturday so I hope you guys don't expect a perfectly detailed car..lol. It will have to go though the gas station car wash and that's about the best I'll be able to do Sunday morning.

As for food, Chad. I think sho_nuff said he'd bring some chips, I'm bringing a dip and a dessert. Maybe you could bring some brownies or cookies or something like that? If you guys really want lunch, maybe I could get a platter of subs or something like that.

So let's do a count:

1. SaraWI
2. MrChad
3. ZEUS'O3TL
3. sho_nuff1997
4. jmkiang (if we get enough ppl!)
5.*Maybe CHISOX1
6. Chrisp??? (PM'ed him, but haven't heard back since the starter thread)

I'd be cool with it if we had at least 6. We did a meet once with six and it was nice...some people had gf's or wives with and I think my bf is coming so it would be more like 8 or so..

I haven't seen posts for any meets until this one, that are anywhere near me. Well there was one, but it was too late by the time I saw the post. It was right by my old office in Glenview. They were having it at the Burger King right down the street...

I don't know, guys. We are now up to a 40-50% chance of rain all damn day on Sunday thanks to the hurricane. Granted, this is Wisconsin and the metorologists don't know the weather from their ass, but I am worried now. Thoughts..suggestions...???

Ok..check it out. MrChad said he's coming up either way because he's doing a little sightseeing on Monday. I suggested that we meet up for a late lunch and if anyone here wants to join us and meet up a little less formally, I'd be happy to head out to a fun local restaurant and just hang out.

I'm thinking the formal meet can wait until next summer when the chance of decent weather, and thus a better turnout, in Wisconsin is more likely. Thanks to everyone who continued to post and PM to try to get something going. Sucks that we couldn't do it now, but I look forward to meeting some of you next season AND...

Anyone wanting to meet up for food and conversation, let me know!! We'll figure out when and where.
