Just wondering if the NY owners meet set for this coming Sunday is still going on. If so, how many people are expected? I've been out of the loop for a couple weeks but a quick search on the topic produced no new info.

I've got myself plus 1 friend (another empeg owner) lined up to make the short drive up to NY.

Thanks,

NY Meet is still on. It looks like about 20 are signed up. I would expect the number to stay around that amount. Some people will not show up and I know others will come without signing up.

I will get there around 2:30 so hopefully I will be the first to arrive.

It's actually in NJ about 10 minutes from the NY border.

See everyone there!

Sunday yes? I think that I'll be there.

Excellent. You'll be easy to spot with the blue wig.

Yes, this Sunday.

I'm signed up...I'm going to try to make it, but as time goes on it looks like I very well might miss it after all. I was looking forward to it though.

Last week, the transmission in my car went out, and it's currently in the shop. I don't have high hopes that they'll be finished with it in the next couple of days.

Hey all, I've been totally dormant on this board for far too long (coming home to 2,548 new posts in General can be kinda scary). My attendance at the meet was threatened for a while (though I had the meet on my books since Rob first mentioned the potential back in... October '02?) but I'm now back on to be there. Me and my VOLVO WAGON will represent in full glory. I'll hopefully have my fake stock faceplate job done by then, if I can get my installer to recess my Alpine deck 1.5 inches into the dash.

See ya'll there!

yes, i have signed up and i'm bringing 3 friends, 2 that are also empeg owners. I'd like to get a group photo at some point for riocar.org!

Wow! it's this sunday? I didnt expect it this soon.
Ill be there.

Will someone geek out and bring a laptop so we can upgrade each others empegs?

I might have mine with me, if i can register winXP by then.

At the Ohio meet there was an ad hoc wireless network with shared dialup internet going within an hour or so after I got there. About 5 laptops or so joined in the fun.

Cool. Then i will be happy, cuz my laptop got smash after i fell down a hill with it

> Will someone geek out and bring a laptop so we can upgrade each others empegs?

Hey, I might need it! I've been using 1.03 stock, waiting for 2.0 final. Now that it's here, I NEED it (I guess). If ya'll want to help me with 2.0final, hijack, games, and all that other fun stuff, that'd be a blast! See you all there.

I'll bring my 5 megapixel digital camera for the group photo.

yeah that was what i was thinking, so we could update each other and trade our geeky wares. I need to write some cool php tools or something.

After my whining about working on Saturday, I can't go. I have to go to Phoenix to play with trucks and avoid my tards.

and avoid my tards.

I heard we're calling them "trainables" these days.

I don't think that aplies to these guys. I need video cameras in the showroom, no one believes me when I tell them just how stupid these guys are. Sadly, they've all got several years more experience than I do.

9:39 AM and already I'm off to work on my day off. Again.

so its tommorow?

Meet is tomorrow

Just giving this thread a slight bump.

Tomorrow looks like it's going to be a nice day. There are about 13 BBSers signed up for the meet. Between their guests and people I know are coming that are not on the BBS or signed up, it seems we could get 25 people tomorrow!

We're looking to meet at 3PM as scheduled in the parking lot of Arthur's Tavern in Emerson, NJ. I should be there early to greet everyone. In case I'm not there and someone wants to check-in with the restaurant, the party is listed under "Robert".

I have the trivia questions printing out, but the prize will be pride since I have no tangible prizes to give out.

If anyone would like to have my cell phone number in case you get lost, send me a PM.

Oh yeah... hooray for me on the occasion of my 2000th post!

You guys (and girls) have fun... I was actually hoping to make this my first "sunday trip" in about 10 years. Unfortunately, I have to be here tommorrow night.

I'm bummed about missing this. I'd still like to go, but as of now my car is in the shop and I'm without a way to get there. So ya'll have fun.

..or maybe I can hitchhike. That's the ticket!

Actually, if anyone is in a position to help with maybe a ride there (I live in Dover, NJ) do let me know. I can PM my cell if someone is going to be passing my area and doesn't mind stopping by. I know it's late in the game for that, though...

I can pick you up. I'm doing nothing the whole day leading up to the meet. Let me know. I will PM you my cell phone.

OK...thanks to Rob's *very* generous offer, I'll be making the meet after all. Thanks, Rob!

i can bring your home, i will be going pack to parsippany nj. Find me at the meet.. just look for a guy walking around with a big digital slr camera named steve!

Rob, send me a PM if you want me to pick up Chris. I have room for 1 more, and i will be meeting my friends about 5 min away from Dover NJ around 1 or 1:30 pm today.

You named your camera Steve?

Back from the meet!

We started at 3 and left at 7. 4 hours of empeg fun!

I took a bunch of pics as well as Steve (CHiP). I will post mine on RioCar asap. Thanks to everyone who came!

Yeah, and thanks to Rob for putting it together. It was good to see all you guys and gals and all your rigs. Ha, and now that I've heard how good all your cars sound, I'll have to get some good speakers and a real amp. And thanks for the 2.0final + HiJack upgrade. Now I just have to figure out how to use it. See my panic/rant in General. See ya'll at the next meat. I mean, meet. Sorry, that was a freudian-steak-slip. Mmmmm, steak.

Yeah, thanks Rob, I had a great time!!!
