Ohio Neco Meet- Saturday, August 19th

[Sare]

First off let me appoligize for not doing this earlier but I had a busy weekend.
Now on to details:
We meet up at 1:30pm at Easton Market Compusa Lot (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&cat=&address=3749+Easton+Market&city=columbus&state=oh&zipcode=43219)
[3749 Easton Market
Easton Market Center
Columbus, OH 43219]

Then we make our way over to Gameworks (http://www.gameworks.com/locations/columbus.php)for Lunch and some fun.
Lunch will be at 2pm at Arena Sports Bar & Grill (http://www.gameworks.com/locations/columbus.php#rests) then after lunch we chill at gameworks.

I will be showing up in one of the following two cars, the Mini or the Fusion.
If anyone from the Cleveland/Akron/Canton area would want to meet up and caravan down that would be cool, if not then I will see you there. I have a meet up point in mind if anyone decides to.



I will post proper map and directions later tomorrow.

Any questions? Either state it here or PM me or AIM me @ Wantkitty99.

Could some kind hearted Mod make this a sticky? Tank you!

:biggrin:

[Lunar Limelight]

Damn I wanted to come down but I have a concert I'm going to that day.

[Tygerr]

I'm coming, maybe straight from work. So what are the plans later? A few friends of mine are going to shadowbox, I think she may be able to get discounted tickets but I'm not sure, or you may have to reserve it. It's seriously a good time. I don't want last time to happen, I show up a bit late and everyone wondered off due to no plans actually made.

[Puma]

im new to the cougar world! im sure as hell gonna try and make it ill have to check my work schedule though. i dont need to be 21 to come do i?

Im still down for the drive-in movies that night aswell. I wonder how many people will be down for it.

Im sure some out of towner can grab our guest room, Anthony has dibs if he wants it.

[AnthonyP]

If my brother doesn't come I'll definately be needing that guest room. There's something about gameworks that just gets me drinking and I cant stop :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[BlackCatOH]

Welp, things are lookin good for me showin' up....so far. Work has a nasty way of changing at the last minute.

[nadthomas]

Not sure if I can make it, we have a company dinner at the Worthington Inn that evening. We will try to swing by for a little while.

[gyger]

[Lunar Limelight]

[Lunar Limelight]

:rofl: Thanks for the offer. That weekend is very busy for me.

[Tygerr]

Apparently I just suck at life. All I wanted was the morning shift on Saturday so I could go out later. He gave the morning shift to someone who ALWAYS requests off (I rarely do) and I work 12pm to 10pm.

Please. Do me a favor and don't shop at Circuit City.

[01SoCalZN]

Im def in, itll be nice to finally meet you guys. Ill be coming from ashland so im just gonna jump 71 all the way down. if anyone from the area wants to caravan thatd be cool.

[ClaymoreWW]

There is a slim chance that I can make this. I have to be in Columbus the following week for some training. I could pop down on Saturday and hang out with you all and then visit my parents in Newark on Sat night/Sunday.

Stay tuned...

--george

[Madcat]

Ok believe it or not..... I think I can make this one during the day!! Naturally I wont have the Cougar but the F150 instead.... Anyways, I have a vet. apt. at 1015am and thats all I have planned saturday until the evening but then I have to roll out and go to a friends cookout. Atleast I can hopefully stop by and say hello to everyone, Mark if you are reading this, if you can toss the shirts in just in case it'd be helpful too!
Thanks buddy and hopefully Ill see everyone there!

[imgeorge78]

Ok believe it or not..... I think I can make this one during the day!!

NO WAY! Dont tease us now John, it's been awhile hope you can make it you can meet Kelly too.

[LinkMan]

Mark if you are reading this, if you can toss the shirts in just in case it'd be helpful too!
You got it buddy! Hope to see you there :thumbsup:

[soldier989]

Well for any out of towner...I have a room you can prolly crash at. If your female it would be a plus :biggrin: Lol kidding, but if you want a place to crash overnight, let me know so I can clear it with my rent, but shes prolly cool with it. I do have to leave at 9am Sunday morning for work, so expect to be up and out by then :)

[SlowCat]

So I don't post on here much, and don't really know any of you, but I live in columbus so I'm going to try and be there.

[B3NN3TT]

So I don't post on here much, and don't really know any of you, but I live in columbus so I'm going to try and be there.

Nice! That's how I started out in 2002 - by just showing up at an Easton meet. See you there, dude...

[AnthonyP]

Apparently I just suck at life. All I wanted was the morning shift on Saturday so I could go out later. He gave the morning shift to someone who ALWAYS requests off (I rarely do) and I work 12pm to 10pm.

Please. Do me a favor and don't shop at Circuit City.

No problem, they suck anyways :)

btw ... I don't think I'm going to make this one guys. I know it's been a bit but things are crazy for me right now and I'm going to be pretty busy signing a lease and such on Sat ... If I get out of there early enough I'll call one of you guys and see whats happening but I doubt I'll be done in time to justify the long ass drive. I swear one of these days I'll come to a meet again, prolly minifest.

[Tygerr]

I'll be at Shadowbox later on in the night. It starts at 10, but you need to reserve your tickets and group. I'm just saying F U to work and leaving early.

[Madcat]

Good news. Ill be there. I have a vet. apt. at 1015am for my puppy and then Im gonna run a few errands around Easton area at my GFs place so Ill just stop by for a bit and see everyon!
Everyone tell Slade and Diane and all the Northerners Ill be there for once!!
YAY!!

[gyger]

George and I are going to meet up at 71 and Rt 18 and then roll out together.
Anyone else wanna meet there they can.

I'll be bringing the Cougar wOOt!:biggrin:

[B3NN3TT]

w00t! Old-timers, in the house!

Mike, Mark, Sare, George, John, Brian, me... just like old times! See you kids on Saturday...

[Pyro81]

Finally some kick ass Ohio meets!

[Pyro81]

I say we storm Circuit City while Chris is working and piss his managers off by distracting him. And when they ***** about it we just tell them that since they won't let him come hang with us we decided to come hang with him.

[ClaymoreWW]

two questions...

1. is it ok for me to jump in on this?

2. is this still the schedule?

Now on to details:
We meet up at 1:30pm at Easton Market Compusa Lot
[3749 Easton Market
Easton Market Center
Columbus, OH 43219]

Then we make our way over to Gameworks for Lunch and some fun.
Lunch will be at 2pm at Arena Sports Bar & Grill then after lunch we chill at gameworks.

--george

[Pyro81]

C'mon, George, you know your welcome to come!
And as far as i know that's still the schedual.


Oh, i'll have two new mods to my truck that me and a buddy will be doing tommorrow. Refurbished step bars and niteshaded tails!

[LinkMan]

I don't know George, it does say Battle Creek, MI under your avatar ;)

Yeah, man, come on down! The more the merrier :) And so far that is the plan.

[soldier989]

Im ready for some 8 player racing!! Who wants some?? :tongue:

This should be fun fun fun!

[gyger]

Brian I thought the Coug was drivable? You're not gonna
bring it out? :(

[Tygerr]

Lol Brian. It's not like I'll be working anyway. Hell, 80% of the time I'm on here I'm at work. I'm at work right now!!! I just pretty much do a little work, then sit on my butt and surf the internet. Football seasons coming, so I'll be sitting on my butt watching football. Football at Circuit on a hi def 50"!!!

[Madcat]

Yup, Kimberly and I will be there saturday!!! Man its been over a year for most of you all!! And the rest, well Ive never met ya but saturday will be a good time. I wont be around that long, but long enough for sure!!

[gyger]

Yup, Kimberly and I will be there saturday!!! Man its been over a year for most of you all!! And the rest, well Ive never met ya but saturday will be a good time. I wont be around that long, but long enough for sure!!

Cool haven't seen you in for ever dude!
Brooke can't make it Sat. (baby shower to go to) so it's just
gonna be my lame ass and the cougar:)

[soldier989]

So it calls for scattered T-Storms tomorrow here in C-bus. I just wanna say to anyone traveling, be careful and I look forward to meeting all of you in the rain!

[imgeorge78]

well was debating on washing the car or not.....hmmm think not now

[01SoCalZN]

Hey gyger. Are you familar with ashland right off of 71? Theres a goasis gas station right off the highway if you want if you can give me a few mins heads up I can meet up with you and follow you down. My number is 760-987-7488. Thanks,
Mike

[Pyro81]

Brian I thought the Coug was drivable? You're not gonna
bring it out? :(
I can drive it, but only short distances. That big hole in the trunk messes with the structural integrity of the car and i don't want to risk the car warping and breaking all the body work done to it. That, and since i've messed with the suspension it's all out of alignment.

[Madcat]

Dude from Ashland, Im from Madison area, right off 71 and 30, I live right off 71 at that intersection. I show every weekend I go home or else I dont go home.... I only have like 2 shows left and have won 2 of the 3 so far.

Hit me up, my cell is 419-610-5666 and holla. Names John

[Madcat]

O yeah, PS Ill still be there with Kimberly even though I have to WORK for a few hours so I might be a tad late. Brian(pyro) have your cell ON!!!

[Pyro81]

Cell is always on, excpet for when i'm at work.

[DROPdatSCORT]

hey what time are you meeting at 71 and rt 18? ill tag along with you as well

[imgeorge78]

11:00 Buddy at BP

[SlowCat]

Damnit, I'm not going to be able to make it ... something just came up ... hopefully I can make the next one.

[LinkMan]

Hopefully all the Northerners are on their way :thumbsup:

It POURED rain here earlier this morning, but now it looks OK out. Overcast, but a lot lighter and brighter than before. Hopefully the scattered rain stays scattered away from us!

See you all at Easton! :)

[JAMallott]

I'll be there too!

[Tygerr]

How was it? I got to Easton at about 9:45, I'm sure you were all long gone by then. Shadowbox was extremely funny.

[LinkMan]

How was it?
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Really good turn out, and the weather turned out super nice, especially since it thunderstormed earlier in the morning. Nice talking with people prior to lunch, meeting John's girlfriend, and George's fiance, checking out Mike's ride which hasn't seen a NECO meet in, oh, two years? ;) Lunch at Red Robin, good conversation, good food, and a pretty good waiter for a group that big with separate checks! 01SoCalZN (Mike, correct?) made it our for a short time before being called away, nice looking car! Gameworks was fun, Easton was pretty crowded, guess a nice Saturday afternoon for back to school shopping.

[B3NN3TT]

Yeah, let's see if I can manage to not forget anyone:

Me
Linkman
Gyger
Imgeorge78 & kelly
Nadthomas
BlackcatOH & Jen
Jamallott & friend
ClaymoreWW
Gyger
01SoCalZn
Pyro81
Madcat & Kimberly
Soldier989 (rockin the Cobalt)

We had 15 for lunch at Red Robin!

SARE!!!!! WTF!!!!

[Madcat]

Yea, thats right, I was there!!! NOW WHAT all you haters? lol. JK I had a great time and so did Kimberly. Really enjoyed the event and wish we couldve stayed for all of it, but had to repair her radiator and do some other things too. Next in line is to get BROWNS tickets for a ton of us!!! We need to pick a weekend and just do it for real!!

[Sare]

:( :thumbsdn:

Yeah Im a looser. Im sorry for pulling a no show family things came up that I had to address. I meant to post eariler but things got a little out of hand. Im glad everyone had fun. Maybe next time.

[imgeorge78]

I had a blast and so did Kelly, wasnt sure how she was gonna take the whole car club thing but she loved it..It was so good to see everyone and catch up, and also to meet some most of the new people

[Sled]

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Some things never change...

[Sare]

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Some things never change...

Whats that suppose to mean?:disgust:

[LinkMan]

Sorry that you missed it Sare :( Especially given the reason why you couldn't come - Good luck with that situation, it's a tough one to be in. Hey, at least your planning did work out well.

[Pyro81]

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Some things never change...

Ah, but some things do change...sorta.
Remember, John actually showed up!

[Sled]

Hah- true, John did show.

Sare- That's not meant as disrespect with your current situation, however, history speaks loud and clear. Hope your grandfather comes out of things ok.

[Sled]

Hold up- lemme re-word this before I start getting calls from Mark (or anyone else) about how Im an A$$ (which may be the case but anyway..,)

Sare- I dont mean to jump on you. I truely am sorry to hear about your grandfather; Mine has had some recent health issues as well and I too dropped everything and drove to zanesville to be with him in the hospital. You just have a history of uh...lack of communication until after-the-fact.

Lemme take you back a couple years to when many of us old schoolers (most of you are no longer on here) were all over john for among other things, not showing at meets/ bailing last minute/etc. He knew it was true, took it like a man, we all laughed about it, and that was that. He took a LOT more heat than you ever have. Maybe because he's a guy and a goofball like the rest of us, I dunno. Youve pretty much skated by and maybe only taken just a lil poke from one guy [who, admittedly, hasnt even had a coug since last october) (...but has still made meets)]. Youve just left members hangin on many occasions or bailed at the last minute so I felt it deserved the same as we have done others in the past. If youre offended due to the timing of your recent family events then I sincerely appologize...however, know that the next time you bail the day before on something you swear you'll attend, or just plain dont show up without even a phone call to someone...know that you'll be getting the business from me ;)

[Madcat]

Slade, I hate you. That is all. LOL JK Love you long time.

[Sare]

I can see valid points here. Granted I have phone numbers to pretty much no one on here I couldnt of called anyone to give them a heads up. But I know I could of found access to a computer with internet and left a message, I take the blame for that.

I really wanted to go to the meet but since my aunt pulls the Im with him all the time and I have a husband that needs my attention card and my moms being a little stubborn about this (aka.. grandpa said somethings back when grandma died that has pretty much put a rip tide between my mother and my grandfather). Kind of hard being the only one in the family that has enough balls to stand up to the old man and not take things to heart. No one knows how hard it is to be the common ground for things, espically when it comes to family. I feels like your being ripped apart. This was part of the reason I moved out of my parents house at the beginning of the year. I moved 25mins south of everyone and for the last 4 months Ive been paying rent on an apartment I havent been too for a while.

So from now on I wont set up any meets or probably show up to many or any more. Pretty much whats the point of staying if I dont have the cougar any more? :shrug:

Adios.:kick:

[silverkat]

No one knows how hard it is to be the common ground for things, espically when it comes to family.
Trust me, I know. And I know it sucks :(

Pretty much whats the point of staying if I dont have the cougar any more? :shrug:
For the same reason the rest of us do. We all love eachother :grouphug:

[01SoCalZN]
