yea i don't know what the deal is with the twinkies. i sure hope they get their act together after the all-star break.

I volunteer to bring charcoal, if someone will bring lighter fluid. I think a 5-10lb bag will work. For all you kraut lovers, I got a can of kraut to go with the brats, there's no way that I can eat the whole can, as my wife would have to leave the apartmetn for a bit :o so you can certainly have some.

So we are bringing stuff for everyone? Not just for ourselves?

I'll bring the lighter fluid :)

And where is this place? Como Park right? can someone give me an address so I can look it up on mapquest :) thanks

aaaaaAAAAAAGH!!! Dammit! I just found out today I have to work late all week. I can't get there till about 7:30 or 8:00!:mad:

Can somebody else get there to stake out a spot? I was going to, since I'm right next door, but my @#&%$!!! boss has other plans. I'd suggest somewhere along Horton Ave, between Lexington and Hamline (follow Como east from Snelling, it changes to Horton after u cross Hamline) There are grills & picnic tables all along there. There's a smallish parking lot too, or u can park on the street all along there. I'll post a map in a while.

Oh, and John, I have a banner that I made up for Rev It Up, it just never got put up. I'll bring it.

I need a new job...:(

I forget, what time? I'm almost positive there are some grills along the road towards the Conservatory. Can someone chack out a spot? I think we'll need some sign to where were at. If we could have someone post their cell number, people could call them if their lost and not just go home.

There are some good roads by the U, like E. River Road, just a thought.

I'm just offering to bring charcoal adn cooking utensils. I'm only getting a small to medium bag of it so if you all want more bring some. I just thought that as there probably won't be more then a dozen of us, one bag of charcoal should be ok and that since I started the thread, I'd bring one. As for other stuff, if you want to bring it that's fine, and I'll leave it up to you if you want to give it to people who don't bring stuff or not. I don't want people to feel like they have to bring stuff. I know budgets are tight now with the economy goign down the tanker and all so bring what you can and what you're comfortable with.

Nice excuse;) I'll just have to yell at your boss a bit. Oh well, I'll try to scout out a place before Friday.

That is a good idea, don't know exactly were to go, lexington can be quite twisty and exciting but a bit crowded, we can also check out the missippi road down near highland park, that's fairly twisty, Kopp suggested E? River road by the U? Other ideas would be good.

So far we got me, protege menace (thanks for posting on the other boards for me btw), kopp0041, Matt Buechler and possibly QQT, Mark might be able to show up later?

If anyone needs a phone number to call PM me and I'll provide one for you, please don't give it out and I won't post it on the main board.

I'll be their too however I work until 630, and gotta run home after that so Im guessing 730-800 is when I'll show.

how late is everyone planning on staying out there? if i go to the twins game, i should be outta there by 10 at the latest. any idea what you guys will be up to then?

I think we should plan on staying at como until 8:30ish, and then go out. I'm planning on being out untill 11:30 when I have to pick up my wife from work, but we might hoock up with you guys again if your still out and about.

I like that idea, meet at 6:30ish, eat around 7 and cruise around 8:30-9.

I should be able to get there at like 7:00ish. I hope. I'll bring stickers, too, if anyone else wants one.

I can be there any time after I get off work at 3:00pm, I'll probably bring some snacks along... chips and stuff. And I'll see if I can find a cooler to bring drinks. What kind of drinks should we have?

6-7 for the start sounds fine with me, it'll give me some time to wash the car, it's really really dirty!

As for beverages, I think anything is fine just so it's in non breakable containers, and so everyone knows there limit or has a DD.

I did a bit of scouting this afternoon. The part that I saw that seemed best was a portion on the left of Midway off of Horton.
(from the south I94)
Take Lexington north to Horton, take a left on Horton. Take a right on midway. From Midway take the first left. There will be a large parkign lot and the grills are on your right. I will try to get there a bit early and reserve a grill or two.
(from the north take 36 and go south on lexington)
for some reason I can't get a map to come up but if anyone has any ? feel free to PM or ask.

Hey everyone! I think I may plan on meeting you all out there. I still have yet to aquire my P5, (My truck isnt selling well) BUT I will be very interested to see what ya all have done to your cars. I may just call it a vacation day and see ya all there. If someone wouldnt mind.... try giving me a call around 6ish (or when you meet there.
