FEst 07'

[shadowfox28]

Just a suggestion.... Since LI neco will ridiculously badass by next year we should do a battle of the chapters. THe hottest chapter should win a prize. and maybe a ping pong tornament?????

[bubby]

What are you trying to say? Have a beer pong tournament at fest?

[BigBalledOX]

How many of you were there this year again?

Kthxbye.

[ND4SPD]

lol... if LI neco is in the running, I'd like to submit Ottawa as a location too... :rofl:

[shadowfox28]

lol ill defintly be there next year and im shore the rest of us(thats rite all 4 of us) will want to show off our 3 liters.. and beer pong is a given but ping pong is just funny... u guys dont already have pong tournaments?

[ND4SPD]

no... we prefer to play Hungry Hungry Hippos on those quiet cougarfest nights...

[LadyX]

:rofl: omg Matt, I laughed out loud!! **there may have been a snort...

and don't forget Disney Guess Who!!

[Lunar Limelight]

and which chapter had the most member attend 06?

[EternalOne]

MC always has the most members attend. :P And we also tend to be the chapter with the most power-adders. ;)

E1

[bubby]

iams shore LI neco wil b ther and show off all of it's 3L powur!

[Topik]

a cf2k7 thread already. haha no surprise.

[MetallicaCougs]

is MC counting with them the canucks? cause actually thought they had the biggest

[Rhino]

no... we prefer to play Hungry Hungry Hippos on those quiet cougarfest nights...

That made me laugh because I have a shirt with a big orange hippo on it that says "Honestly I was Never That Hungry Hungry":rofl:

[ND4SPD]

:rofl: Glad you liked that one Jenny!

Rhino - Thats an awesome shirt! If we're ever going to be at the same cougar event, you've gotta wear that! ;)


Mary - ye, I think Ontario and MC have pretty much bonded into one 'group'
Any caravan always consists of both chapters.

[LadyX]

well, technically, us Windsor folks are counted in both MC and Ontario...but puckpuck and mcon don't come out anymore :( so yeah, Ron and I adopted the Toronto and Ottawa peeps and now we're all one big happy family!!

Matt - I really did!! and Maya and I really did play Disney Guess Who!

[ND4SPD]

:rofl:
and where was I for this hillarious event!
...least it wasn't LOTR trivial pursuit - then I really would have been sad/mad :tongue:

[KurtsKougar]

well it was longer then last year to start an 07 thread..

next we will start the disscussion on where to do it?

Indy again? Tail of the Dragon? let the argument begin!!! :)

[shadowfox28]

i have no say but.. sumone should post locations of all active memers, like that one from one or two years ago.

[ND4SPD]

my goodness are you out of the loop! :)
There are about THREE seperate google maps that people have started which show the location of a good number of active members...

heres the most recent one - http://www.frappr.com/neco

[MetallicaCougs]

I think before that one becomes "official" it needs to be linked to in chapter or General or Lounge. Somewhere where more then a handful know about it

[ClaymoreWW]

we have posted it many places here...it includes a convenient chat feature.

--george

Convenient AND hilarious, I might add. ;)

E1

Woo, hold on there. OH Neco always has a strong showing @ Fest.

[skater]

well it was longer then last year to start an 07 thread..

Actually, it started on the backup forum that Sunday or Monday. So, we're keeping true to form. ;)

[MetallicaCougs]

why are some listed more then once?

[Frosty]

So is this the official thread regarding CougarFest 2007 discussion?

It's a good thing the punctuality of the title is correct :rolleyes:

[LadyX]

i know ron put himself twice, but i think ones supposed to be for me...dunno

[skater]

Some people showed up twice or even three times on the map...I don't think it happened intentionally.

[sonza68]

I'm on multiple times because Frappr hates me.

[EricF]

It happened to me, if you go to myfrappr link at the top you can delete multiple entries

[whiteboy477]

What about at Gateway right in the Middle of the US

[yakko69]

I'm from LI NECO, and I have been to 3 CougarFests so far.....so me not going this year doesnt matter.

[CougarBum]

Well another canuck is added to the map.

Jenny, you rock at 'guess who'... we also had Jenga Truth or Dare, but that didnt even get opened and YOUU were the one that wanted it there

Matt, LOTR games are for you and jenny only. i dont think any one of us knows the game as well as you two.

[LadyX]

dammit!! forgot totally about jenga truth or dare..bring it next time you're coming to my house!! :naughty:
and maybe we can turn the Guess Who, into a drinking game... :evil:

[Excelcier]

I didn't know you had the Jenga there. That could have been fun! and deadly.. hehe..

I didn't know I was added twice on Frapper... where? I only see it once.

[MaverickFlyer]

Woo, hold on there. OH Neco always has a strong showing @ Fest.

Yeah , but Ohio doesn't count! The roads are so bad, nobody wants to go near that state! :rofl:

[mikeyboy]

[skater]

Geez you're good with that, mikeyboy!

[ND4SPD]

hah! yeah - start working on the logo! never too early for that!

[Badazzcougar]

How about WI Dells:rofl: Even though Crispers and I are the only ones left:(

[CougarBum]

liking that logo!

[soldier989]

I think it would look better if it said 'CF07'

Definately looks nice.

[Madcat]

Although I didnt get to go this year for the first time in 4 yrs, I will have to back nadthomas here... If you go back through the books, I would put a beer on the fact that even this year with many of the long term members selling their cougars, OH NECO still has/had the best attendence over the past years. I know one year we accounted for over 1/3 of the show, that was the one we won't talk about..... But basically when we roll in, we roll with several members in our back seats, and other veichles following. Heck last year alone, 1 cougar(myself) brought 10 people all from OH. Although we weren't all OH NECO, overall thats still 10 peeps from the state. As well as I believe we still had the most last year as well.
This year it mightve been another story, but it looks as though we were represented very well.

[ND4SPD]

looking at the frapper map last night, 85% of the people seem to be surrounding OH... making it the central location among active members.

Heh...they even had a Keystoner tagging along this year :biggrin:

[J-Man]

Heh...they even had a stoner tagging along this year :biggrin:
:eek:

Fest in Ohio would be fine by me for next year. Let's get the ball rolling and start planning this ish now!

[EternalOne]

Just remember, we're going to be running raffles CONSTANTLY through the year, to ensure that fest is well funded next year. :P This year Brad and I both put out quite a bit of cash outta pocket, but early enough planning for 07 will fix that. ;) So keep the raffles in mind, we'll be getting some good ones going shortly.

Let 'em rip, guys. :)

http://www.teamneco.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/poopkyle.gif AHHHHH that feels better

[sonza68]

Thank you, Sami.

[COOGAH]

it was that damn mexican restaurant at fest. don't blame me.

[Excelcier]

You can ALWAYS count on Sami...........

[Goldie]

looking at the frapper map last night, 85% of the people seem to be surrounding OH... making it the central location among active members.
maybe everyone within a 2 hour drive of OH should give me $5 for fuel then ;)

I still like STL. wasn't it a runner up idea for this year?

[COOGAH]

shaddup you face!











tee-hee

[ND4SPD]

it was the runner up last year ;)


I will gladly pitch in $5 to the 'Voyage of Goldie'! :thumbsup:

[LadyX]

I say we have it in Windsor!! :biggrin:

[LinkMan]

If you drive out Goldie, I'll donate $20 :) That's like, uh, a third of a tank at least, right?

I don't care where CF07 is -- all you need for a good CougarFest is a CF T-shirt, a place to park, and a bunch of Cougar owners.

(Auto-X with other Cougs is a definite bonus though :thumbsup: )

woo hoo!! thats mark :) and I think that'd even do 1/2 a tank :rofl:

[EternalOne]

Yeah, I still remember my 2am Sami wakeup call at the door. :P

E1

[LadyX]

maybe..but, you have to admit....it was daaaammmnnn gooooooddd foood

[Excelcier]

I'll hit that food again.

[Moraki]

With prices projected at 4 dollars per gallon next year... The west coasters Cal, OR and WA are looking at 800-1000 dollars in gas money alone for an Ohio CF...


I couldnt imagine payign that... and i dont expect any of them to. Some might ...and if they do my compliments.

[sonza68]

Maybe my math is wrong, but the fuel bill would be about half that at $4/gal.

[COOGAH]

round trip?

assuming 18 or so fillups to add up to 800, each fill-up would have to be more than 45.....or somethign like that.

the santa fe averaged 39 with 3/4 of a tank. it would cost 52 per tank if it cost 4 per gallon

[Goldie]

right now, I pay jsut at $40 a tank or a dollar or so under. and that's with gas around $3/gal. so $45 a tank probably isn't far off.
I figured about $725 at 27mpg and $4/gal. could probably fly for 1/2 that amount.

[EternalOne]

But if you flew then we'd have to have our way with your rental car -- its tradition now. =)

lol that things funny lookin:rofl: :goofy:

[EternalOne]

That's because its a rental... :P And we went all riced out on it... :D

Best part was the "I (heart) Torque" and NOS stickers... LOL

E1

[shadowfox28]

that thing got a hemi?

[NorCalCoug]

Okay, so guys, you're going to have to live with the fact that CF will not:

Come closer than the Mississippi to the west coast.
Really move far enough away from Indy to make that much of a difference anyway (What? 3 hour shorter drive to STL than Indy?)
Have anything less than a bunch of people hanging out in a parking lot all night long. :biggrin:

I've already threatened my boss with my life if I don't get the time off for CF next year, so he's already signed up on me going.

At 2170 miles one way, and approx 28 miles per gallon, you'll use about 77.5 gallons of gas, or 155 gallons round trip. At a rough weighted average of 3.55 per gallon, that's $542.50 in gas costs round trip.

Not terrible. :) That's about $60 more than what I paid last time I drove out to Indy. I'll accept that. Hell. I'll pay up to $650 just to drive out. :)

[ND4SPD]

All the raffles from now until June should be Gas Coupons... :tongue:

[racerx]

I cam sympathize with those of you driving from the left coast, my fuel cost was right around $300 for the round trip. And I only had to drive 6 hours. Damn, 11mpg hurts.

[skater]

All the raffles from now until June should be Gas Coupons... :tongue:

Seconded!

[EternalOne]

I'll take a look and see what we can do for gas cards, that's definately a good idea. ;)

E1

[sonza68]

Those work, but the Visa/MC giftcards are still the most versatile.

[skater]

Those work, but the Visa/MC giftcards are still the most versatile.

It's interesting how they didn't seem to sell tickets as well as the CustomCougars gift certificates for the same amount did, though. I'm still trying to figure that out. It may have just been a timing thing or something like that.

[sonza68]

I never understood it either. They were essentially the same as cash.

[MaverickFlyer]

I wouldn't take a CustomCougars gift card if you paid me.

[COOGAH]

What about Prepaid Hooker Cards?

[skater]

Followed by Prepaid VD Clinic Cards...

[wadespencer99]

Followed by Prepaid VD Clinic Cards...



Those are the best gift!

[BigBalledOX]

Followed by Prepaid VD Clinic Cards...

Clinic's free around here, skillet . . . :tongue:

[Drewmanfu0]

Gas cards/Visa MC, sounds good. When these raffles start? I'm gettin in early.

[skater]

Clinic's free around here, skillet . . . :tongue:

I wouldn't know. You, on the other hand, appear to have a LOT of experience with them... :biggrin:

[BigBalledOX]

I wouldn't know. You, on the other hand, appear to have a LOT of experience with them... :biggrin:

What can I say, its convenient they know me on a first name basis and I don't even have to fill out any paperwork now, they do it for me. ;)

[Pyro81]

What can I say, its convenient they know me on a first name basis and I don't even have to fill out any paperwork now, they do it for me. ;)
Hmm...for me, they have a form already filled out sitting in a file. When i walk in they take the form and just throw it on the copy machine.

[COOGAH]

What can I say, its convenient they know me on a first name basis and I don't even have to fill out any paperwork now, they do it for me. ;)


its the "ANAL TEAR" form isn't it? i'm telling ya man, you gotta stop picking up those TV/TG/TS "girls", your body can only take so much

[BigBalledOX]

I just can't help myself . . . I LOVE THEM SOOOO MUCH!!! :cry:

[Reaper]

:evil: thisll be my first year goin when n where

[skater]

Don't know yet Reaper. Sometime in 2007, probably during the summer. :)

[COOGAH]

and somewhere between CA and MA, and between Mexico and Canadia

[azbobbybooshay10]

I will tell you that this event should happen sometime next year...

[Goldie]

I will tell you that this event should happen sometime next year... :repost:

[Moraki]

And let me guess bobby is vowing to come to Fest 07 now ... but will back out about a month before.

[azbobbybooshay10]

My situation is different now than it was a year ago. I'm in a stable, good paying job that won't mind accomodating me for a few days off. I'm not gonna promise anything, plus I have a LOT of work to do to my car if I want to represent properly at Fest next year. But I sure as hell will try to make it next year....

I think for selecting a location, we should have something like how they choose where the Olympics go. Have each chapter submit their own plan, location, why their location should be selected, etc., then have it voted on. Maybe do an "Elimination" vote to narrow it down to 3 locations, then vote on those 3. But if we are changing location, I think finalizing things would be better done sooner rather than later.

Yeah . . . or we could just stick to what's worked for years.

:cover:
What Bobby described is pretty much how the Lotus club handles LOG (Lotus Owners Gathering). It seems to work for them, but they are a more organized group which has an elected board which doubles as LOG location decision makers. Each location which is in the running makes their proposal to the board, and they pick based on the strength of the proposal and the locations of past LOGs. They do have a more stable membership though.
:cover:

Enought Lotus talk for now.

[Goldie]

and typically speaking, if you have a Lotus, probably more $/time to spend on travel to meets too.

:disgust: If you love your Lotus so much, why don't you just marry one!

In all seriousness though, its pretty hard to fault the job done by the Fest committee. Considering the tight budget (if any budget) they have to work with and the generally poor response by our broke-ass community (I swear, I saw the same half-dozen people selling out EVERY raffle, and that sucks as far as I'm concerned) to fund-raising attempts, I commend them for their effort and have faith a good location will be chosen.
