Official East Coast Meet [UPDATES ON PG 8!], June 27-29: Virginia Beach, VA Options

[robdrummer]

I'm still interested in this meet but i am finding it hard to believe the people who started this are still interested! There have been NO important updates nor has the decision of hotels or sleeping arrangements been made. The worst part of all is that there isn't even a true list of people attending. This outrages me seeing that this meet has a lot of potential and i have many friends not on 6gc that want to go!

Plz get it together

Is anyone taking bets on if this will fall apart like every other mass meet? lol

Alright, jdg371, and I have sent out individual PMs to the people in the "list" that was made up to get definite hotel interest. Jasper (jdg) sent out the PMs to one half of the people, and then I FORWARDED his message out to the rest. Funny thing is that robdrummer, playr158, and itchy b x were all on my list. And since I sent the PM out like 5 days ago, and NO one has responded to me, the PM must have got lost or did not work. These guys just posted today and their tone makes it obvious that they did not get my PM. I have not used the Forward button much, but I got no error in sending the PMs and my box was far from full.

Jasper, Jen we just need to go ahead and reserve like 15 rooms at the Red Roof, b/c it will take FOREVER to officially get enough definites to fill the rooms. Jasper has only gotten 5 responses from his PMs. If all the rooms don't get filled come "game time", you can cancel some of them like 24 hrs in advance.

JEN, let's go ahead and reserve the rooms and get the group rate!! You are supposed to be taking the lead on this, but this is TOO slow! If you don't do it soon, I am just going to post up hotel info on five hotels that have good rates that I researched. We have to move, this area is CRAZY in late June with tourists, sports teams, etc.

Come on!

one thing is for sure, I made plans to go to Virgina on the posted dates, but I'll be there before that, so meet or no meet I'll be enjoying the sun at the beach.

[robdrummer]

i still have not recieved any pm's.... at all

[presure2]

sorry guys, with the house not selling, there is no way i can afford this trip this year.

[Defgeph]

Make this official, or I'm starting a DWG meet close to that weekend. Giving you fair warning.

[x_itchy_b_x]

dwg it is then lol

[lagos]

and just like that... this meet just fell apart.

No diggity...official hotel information WILL be posted by early next week. Not to go into any details, or hurt anyone's feelings, I will simply say that we have had "issues". But I have set an ultimatum, and the hotel info is top priority, trust me. Thanks for the patience, and voicing your concern. We are glad to host you down in this part of the country...you won't regret your visit.

[robdrummer]

dwg does sound good and i don't have to drive as much. maybe if u guys make a dwg meet it will be more organized then this one was.

[dabazied]

I'm sure that people that don't live @ or around VA beach have the ability to pick up a phone and call for hotels/accomidations as well.... no need to decide "oh, this one is going nowhere cuz no one is doing anything(you really aren't helping by putting out stuff like that either) to get hotels for us". It's not that hard. It would be great if everyone ended up coming to the VA Beach East coast meet but, there has to be a little maturity in how this is handled, and how opinions on it are voiced for that matter. If you're that willing to not take the long drive, you probably weren't that interested in going anyways. Maybe we should all just chill a bit n wait for the outcome before calling the whole situation blown before anything has a chance to happen. Most of the people on here have jobs, social lives, and family lives. This is something we must understand before acting immature and jumping the gun. If you feel that strongly about going, and don't feel like waiting, hit up priceline, or make a phone call or 2...... Would be great to have everyone there but jeez, chill out and don't knock someone for trying to make an effort on YOUR and EVERYONE else's behalf to make this a good meet and have accomidations set up for us.

BTW, props n thanks to everyone spending some of their own time doing things/planning to try to get this set up.

since jen hasent posted in here for a while i dont think this is going to work....

i think a hotel should be picked, a large parking lot somewhere in a scenic area should be picked and we'll call it a meet.

im still interested in meeting up with the southern celica's, but i dont think everything should revolve around a person who barely posts anything productive on here.

take the reigns john!

ps. most meets that are organized succesfully, except our jersey ones, the first post has hotel info and meet info

[playr158]

wow....cannabilizing on your own site's meets....thats jacked up

I'll still come to the Va meet if people are going
there is ZERO need to have the same hotel, you guys are over complicating things and making it worse for yourself

If you are coming then say so.

6/27-6/29 this happens, make your own reservations.
there will be plenty of time spent at destinations/going out.
