I'm kinda taking it slow for now since the meet won't be for quite a few months (too cold out now). However, It seems at this point that people prefer a Cincinnati-style meet where we all hang out for a weekend. I prefer that kind of meet too, but now I am the one that has to plan it.

I also started making designs for meet shirts. I was going to do screened T shirts at first, but I think embroidered Polos might be better.

It does take some planning, especially for one that lasts a few days.

I'll have another next year in Cincinnati about the same time as this year, late September, so everyone save some vacation time to come for the weekend.

ewww.. ohio. 8 + hours from New York City.
Darn. Good Luck with the meet!

JeepBastard,

The Cincinnati meet was well worth the drive. I think, for me, it was more like 10 hours (coming from Rockland County). I think that the meet location was great too, and I will be planning the NY meet based on that place.

I have to agree, an 8-10 hour drive would be well worth it for another meet like the first Ohio one. It was well worth it to me to fly out there. Laura, if you do plan this, I'll be there again.

I had too much fun to not plan another one I hope everyone will come back again and some newcomers also.

I'll be there Laura. And I'll bring a carton of smokes.

Wimp! It's 50+ hours from Alaska!

So you're going, then?

...And I'll bring a carton of smokes.

No, don't do that. I've been trying to get her to quit!

It was kinda an inside joke. I try to kid myself into thinking I'm not a smoker which, for the most part, I'm not. But, when I'm in a social situation I tend to smoke (at a bar, party, or standing around looking at cars/empegs). I was bumming smokes of Laura all weekend. If Laura is still smoking by next year, I will have to bring some with me because I feel bad. Those things aren't exactly cheap.

If you come I promise not to smoke around you

And Rob, you don't have to pay me back, just bring your own next time.

Laura: Hell yeah, I'd drive to Ohio for a meet (even though I'm in NJ now). With a fully loaded 30 gig empeg, it'll be no sweat.

Rob: I'd feel guilty coming to your meet without doing anything to help. Are you still looking for a location, lodging, activities etc? I proprose low-rules just-for-fun Ultimate Frisbee! If you need anything, let me know.

Thanks for the offer for help. I already have another empegger friend on the lookout for locations, so we should be good for now. But, if you have any good ideas let me know. What part of NJ are you in?

We can have 3 legged sack races and eat potatoe salad.
