Google Maps Link for Gene Schrikel, Jr Park
THE BACK UP PLAN: So lets just say that somehow things get all jacked up, and for whatever reason there is low response to the meet, I'm pulling the deposit to the park and we can all meet at Bowman Springs, Chill and Cruise to somewhere to grab a bite...say Bone Daddys or Fuzzys Tacos? In the event that it happens, I'll notify everyone who is going to go via PM or Text (if I have your number)

So after a bit of tossing around dates and what not Ive decided to have it on a Saturday, a little later than what was planned at first. Mostly I was waiting till close to a month out to see what other meets are supposed to happen and try to schedule this one apart from those. Right now the only meet that comes close to the set date is HellaFlush5 and that is on Sunday.
There is a grill, plenty of parking, covered "patio" area and about 4 benches. So if you guys want to bring anything, please put it on the list (im taking care of the charcoal and the cooking utensils). Lets try to get maximum attendance. We had a good time at the last meet, and if you didn't make that one, you should try to make this one!

THE LIST!
1.) Spider77 - Cooler/Ice/12 Pack Dr Pepper - Chicken Breasts!

[stephen_lee]

as of now i cant make this. i've planned to pull the v6 for a rebuild that weekend, but as it comes close weathter may have other plans, at that point ill come to this!

maybe y'alls next meet ill have the v6 ready && buttoned up

[stephen_lee]

btw work sends me to Dallas for training (next to DFW airport)
ill let you guys know next time im up there and maybe we can chill one of the evenings!

[Spider77]

Yeah, hit me up and if Im free I'll cruise.

Just sent you a text....I've got your number saved now. Thanks.

[darthripley]

slight chance we might be able to make it out, but just want to subscribe to the thread

[Spider77]

So, been a week and Ive gotten a few replies from people. But not what I expected. Its pretty much a month out and I guess if they isnt much talk about it, we'll just drop onto the back-up plan.

[Spider77]

Alright, so I pulled the deposit. No sense in spending any extra cash if I dont get the feeling we'll get any real turnout (save for the 3 I talked too already). So its on the the backup plan.
Meet up at Bowman Springs Park (plenty of parking) or meet up at a food place, and do what we did a long time ago. Meet, chill, eat, cruise then roll. I'll have more posted by Sunday.

[2bcelica]

come one people - lets show some interest. I know we all have busy schedules, but gotta find time to show love for the celica right?

[zfjohnson07]

I really don't know where to start seeing as I haven't really contributed lately due to various reasons but I'm going to have to agree 110% here with Spider. I really don't understand some of the BS reasoning and or excuses people will lay down just to not show up for not only a social gathering, but an opportunity to meet new people and share the same interest aka Celica's (if that wasn't obvious enough).

I think on that note, I think its safe to say that its pretty much done with.

[Spider77]

Sorry, too many I'll be there and then nots.

[darthripley]

Spider, i feel your pain - that kind of crap is exactly what broke my back on trying to organize meets as well.
i don't understand what it is with most of the people here in DFW but with the exception of the few people you mentioned & a few others that i know personally they just leech & flake out.

i'll PM you with a phone number so we can keep in touch.

[Spider77]

Darth, appreciate it. Im only here for about 14 months more, and want to chill with everyone who is worth it as much as possible.....thanks
