TGCIL meet!

[4g63lover]

Ok, so some of us, (mostly me) wont make MOD to see you crazy fuckers again, so I was wondering if anyone would be down for another end of season "see you next year" meet. lol.

we could do somewhere in the city (key photo opportunities)

or somewhere in the burbs.

post up some ideas!

[00galantguy]

no idea where to have it but id deff be up for showing.

[dwjp90]

west chicago has a pretty big park (with nice parking spaces) we could do a bbq again, or just like a party thing

how much would it be to rent the pavillion?

[00galantguy]

when were you thinking of doing this?

[dwjp90]

idk, id have to check, its reed keepler. basball fields, soccer field, prety open, and a dog park

[4g63lover]

idk maybe like mid to late september or sometime after MOD

I was also thinking, have you ever seen the view by the aquarium in Chicago?? absolutely beautiful, I say we could prolly line the G's up and take pics with the skyline. Just an idea though, cuz I'm sure Chicago will be busy and we will not have a place where we would be able to chill for a long time in. When Jon or Gabe chimes in, it would be awesome since they know the city a little bit more than I do.

[00galantguy]

september would probably be more ideal since later it starts getting cold

I was thinking the same thing.

[dwjp90]

[00galantguy]

[fliegendaffe]

if you can't make MOD there is a car show up there the same day.

[EATsleepJDM]

yea the area near the Shedd aquarium is a good place if you want it to be in the downtown area. thats where my sig pic was taken at.but i dont know i think it would be better if it was in the downtown area but again like Jigz said not many places to chill at without getting kicked out.

[CHICAGO_ONE]

Shedd Aquarium is not an option. They took out all the parking meters, (which were full most of the time). So there's nowhere to park, and the police are highly prevalent.
We once did a lake shore meet though, off Foster Beach. It's on the north side, directly at the lake, and wasn't too bad actually. (except for a couple members, who shall remain nameless, getting citations, lol)

^^ haha, my car looks all funny when it wasn't dropped. Boy am I glad i got those Megans.

[00galantguy]

hahaa. needed the drop

[ericbla03]

Somewhere along Lakeshore would work best for me. As i will be living in NW Indiana by then.

[UAL Tripple 7]

By the lake is cool with me too. I live right across the street. I hope I'm in town when you guys have the meet. If I am I will make it for sure.

[EATsleepJDM]

or we can meet in evanston.but i think lakeshore would be best.and hopefully by the time this meet comes around i will have a drop finally.

[fliegendaffe]

lakeshore would be cool i think. too bad i wont have my drop till next year

[RedGalant2k1]

I'd love to meet down Lakeshore dr.

[4g63lover]

or we can meet in evanston.but i think lakeshore would be best.and hopefully by the time this meet comes around i will have a drop finally.

have you called Mark yet?

anyway, so it seems like Lakeshore would be the best area?

Jon, would we have to rent anything out or could we just park?

actually i went last week with my bro and i ordered the lowering springs.so they should be coming in soon.but i also went to ask about the front camber so he can give me a price on them.and with the rear, i think im going to do the home depot kit or if it not that expensive for the real ones then i might just get those.so yea i cant wait.

yea lakeshore sounds good.from what i know i think we can just park but not sure.

did you put a deposit down??

Only thing I dont like about the home depot kit is that it throws off the suspension geometry of the car since you pull the control arm of the unibody, I say a camber kit that doesnt take the control arm off the car.

anyway, yeah lake shore would be awesome we can also get some good shot possibly.

[allen315]

please post a date and time and place i would like to join thanks

[EATsleepJDM]

yea i put a deposit down. i still have about $100 to pay for still.

you have the camber kit that doesnt take the control arm off the body?

only if we were still allowed to park by the shedd,the pics that can be taken there would be awesome.but yea just name a date and where on lakeshore(if that is where we are gonig to have the meet at) so i will know in advance and tell my bro also.but im only free on the weekends since im about to start up school again.ugh.

I dont have any camber kits at all cuz I actually need my camber for autox. ask DOHCstunr.

[fliegendaffe]

how would a sunday work?

[4g63lover]

the last meet was on a sunday...

[dwjp90]

saturday ftw

[fliegendaffe]

if it's a sunday, i think i'm going to start having sundays off soon

[CHICAGO_ONE]

The Lake Shore parking lots are free. No deposits. No pavilions though either. Grilles are welcome. Alcohol is NOT. It's basically first come first serve. At this time of the month, we shouldn't have any problems getting enough spots close together.

[4g63lover]

so it looks like a lake shore meet. what dates are cool with everyone?

[fliegendaffe]

[ericbla03]

How about either the 14th or the 21st?

[fliegendaffe]

[EATsleepJDM]

so is the 21st the official date for the meet?

[4g63lover]

[EATsleepJDM]

[RedGalant2k1]

[00galantguy]

[RedGalant2k1]

Later for me if possible, but I won't force it too late if its not convenient for everyone else. The 21st is a good day though, just later in the day is what I mean.

[EATsleepJDM]

NICE!!!!

so what time is this going to happen???

[00galantguy]

12-4 i think

[CHICAGO_ONE]

It's kind of difficult finding an actual address to the place, seeing as it's a small piece of a park, but...

ADDRESS:
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Chicago&state=IL&address=W+Foster+Drive+%26+N+Simonds+Drive
W Foster Dr & N Simonds Dr
Chicago, IL 60290


Basically, get onto Lake Shore Drive and Exit @ FOSTER AVE.

If you're coming from the north on LSD: you turn Left onto Foster
If you're coming from the south on LSD: you turn Right onto Foster
Basically, turn towards the lake.
(FYI: FOSTER Ave becomes SIMONDS Dr.)

**KEEP IN MIND**
As you enter the drive, there is a parking lot immediately on the left. This is where we will meet.
HOWEVER, if it happens to be a packed day, and we cannot fit all the cars together, keep following down Simonds, and we will convene at the next available space.

If anyone thinks they may have trouble getting there, gets confused with Chicago, or just wants extra security, PM me and I'll give you my cell #.

[4g63lover]

awesome dude!! lol.

so Sept. 21st 12-4pm.
