Michigan members?

TatuajeVI

So aside from myself and sandman, anyone else out there from Michigan? We ought to get a herf together if there are any Michigan guys out there. I know Kuzi is about a 4 or 5 hour drive from the Detroit area, not sure if anyone else is even close.

kuzi16

im a bit closer than that... 3ish... maybe more if you go the speed limit.

but we're from Ohio...we know better!

Heh, I hate driving through Ohio. Low speed limits, and any cop who's an OSU fan is going to be a $%@# when he sees my Michigan plates. I'll keep my 70mph highways and cops who have better things to do than pull people over for going 5 over. Brandon, from what yahoo maps tells me, it's about 5 hours for you. That's quite a hike for a herf, lol. Same with Kuzi. If we could actually work it out, we have plenty of space here for visitors.

yeah...It's definitely a haul from Southeast Ohio. I might be willing to do a 4 hour haul, but I would have to keep it in Ohio...not sure I could explain to my friends a reason to go to "that state up north" unless it was to see the buckeyes dismantle the wolverines again. JK

I'm sure Kuzi would be cool with this...but don't we have forum members in the northwestern parts of ohio. Toledo, or surrounding areas.

well gentlemen, lets start talking dates. im sure a few of us have work obligations. the sooner we figure this out the better.

Sandman1am

Sandman1am

I talked to Phil tonight and my schedule changes every month. With the holidays coming up it could be more difficult for me to get a chance to break away but I am down to try.

kuzi16

TatuajeVI

I can understand making in after the holidays. I swear every weekend seems to fill up so fast in Nov/Dec. January we can definitely work out.

Sandman1am

Ya I'm pretty well booked through Dec. already if I am not working during the weekends.

kuzi16

i would think that any day AFTER feb 14th would be good for me. thats the end of the busy season at my restaurant.

I'm about 45 minutes south of cedar point in Sandusky, so about two hours from Detroit. Prolly the closest on the forums unless someone's not speaking up...

we are speaking of meeting in the akron area... you are more than welcome to show up. if i can get more than 10 people to go to my B&M i may be able to get a small discount there.

In all likelihood, I will be coming up...maybe bringing a friend

kuzi16

we still dont have an exact date. any thoughts?

bbc020

I'm down for whenever...as long as it is enough into the future that I can set it and plan around it

Sandman1am

My work dates are set usually a month in advance so I would need plenty of notice too. Looks like we might be going to 12 hour shifts so that might play part in it as well.

kuzi16

the two of you(bbc and sandman) are the ones im most concerned about then. I know that some others may be affected by the way your job works. this is why im pressing for you guys to start throwing out dates. i only have to drive 15 minutes. im fairly flexible.

bbc020

So...after Feb 14th....I say Feb 27th. It's free for me right now.

kuzi16

Sandman1am

I'm going to a new shift, new hours & will have a new boss the day after Christmas. They only let us know our days off a weeks in advance for the month. The nice thing is I might be on vacation. If you all set a date I will request it off. Sorry for being so uncertain about my schedule but many things are changing at work. Just glad I am working.

sweet. around me there are some good bars. im a big fan of 69 taps (though its a bit loud for me at times (must be getting old)) and im also a fan of the winking lizard. both have a very good beer selection.
