Guys I just visually confirmed...there will be a COOKOUT in Pineville. It's going to be a sit down venue.

And I just remembered!...
Earlier in the year I had called the phone number that is on the COOKOUT cup and left a voicemail on their 'answering machine'. I explained to them about how I love the company and have watched the stores expand throughout the state and Mecklenburg county, and how the part of my county doesn't have a location in the immediate vicinity. I kept going and going and the message was so long that it cut me off lol. No one ever called me back, but now that I look back and remember what I did that day, I wonder if someone listened to it and looked into making this happen as a result of listening to my weird ass message. I have no idea, but maybe, just MAYBE, it had an effect.

Gawd I can't wait. Somehow I need to find out what day they open and be the first customer.
Gonna build a lego minifig scale model of the location too. Back when I first got back into LEGO I built a quick model of one, but never printed any stickers for it. It was the double drive thru kind that goes on each side of the building. This up and coming model will be legit as I plan on building the fuck out of it.
Acurazine gatherings will happen there too. Can't effing wait.

Closing a Sonny's is blasphemy! Sell all of your LEGO and open it back up

I will be going to the meet tomorrow. No pictures yet of the civic. I've been trying to paint the bumpers and trim but its so humid and rains every afternoon that I haven't been able to do much of anything. I did however go to lowes to look some paint to change up the wheel color for the fitment festival...I'm thinking Carolina/baby blue, turquoise, or minty green. The white holds to much dirt. I did go to pull apart the other day and finally got me a passenger mirror, and I'm going back to get an antenna, and full exhaust. The one there is on a 91 lx sedan with only 133k and NO RUST!
Make sure to bring your camera tomorrow Eric.

Tommy I saw your car a week or two ago at the store with patio furniture and such on 150 near the Harris Teeter. I was heading back from picking up some dogs at the Humane Society near the BBQ place.

Haha yeah it's about 4-4.5 hours depending on how bad I'm speeding.. Yeah thats what im looking forward to! I took summer classes this summer to try to help me get in for this upcoming fall but there just wasn't any space left for my major so I'm transferring there in the spring so I'll get to experience basketball but not football unfortunately. Oh well beggers can't be choosers I guess

Damn it should of went to the meet. Was downloading some new songs to put in my iPod then my friends said they weren't going and I lost track of time, before I knew it, it was 11:30 already n I just went to bed. Plus ninja turtle 2 was on n that distracted me a bit lol.
Maybe the only way for Eric to come would be to build a cookout on the parking deck, lure him with some sonny BBQ. Or free legos. Probably free legos would be the ticket. Lol
Any body know good apartment in highpoint / Greensboro area? I think I'm going to be moving there soon wifey got call back from her lab job In high point.
