[oilhammer]

Lots of fun. Past episodes included:

Stumping people at the VW display

Causing a ruckus with the word "diesel" at the Transit Connect display

Breaking the Geely HiFun in various places causing them to lock it up and scare us away in broken English

Farting point-blank in tooef's face, only to have him poop his pants with a room-clearing bomb of epic proportions

 

[Matt-98AHU]

LOL

Room-clearing indeed

*wookienoises*

 

[VeeDubTDI]

I should also note that Monday the 18th is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day... 3 day weekend!

Maybe for you

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Absolutely.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

I'm in.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Excellent! Hopefully you can stay a bit longer this time.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

I'm planning on not bringing the dog. He's like having a toddler with me.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Aww, but Parker is awesome. I know how you feel though... nothing you can do with him while you're inside the convention center.

 

[Growler]

I need to check with the wife, but Count me as a maybe.

 

[Sprocket]

I'm game. We go every year anyways, why not hang out with some of the coolest people from the club.

I don't think Parker would want to be around Compu_85 again. I think he was stepped on one too many times at Whitbread's last GTG

 

[scurvy]

I'm in - save me a bit of floor space, eh?

 

[paramedick]

Let me play with the work schedule. Where y'all staying?

 

[Mark of Diesel]

I'm in too, good Lord willin' and the snow don't fall.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

Snow makes it more fun. I may treat myself and cash some Marriott points. I have a backlog from my consulting days that are almost impossible to exhaust.

 

[oilhammer]

..... Where y'all staying?

HO3S....

...Growler and I shared a couch last year.

 

[eyeguy]

I've heard of the Hi-Fun debacle or whatever you wanna call it. I always miss out on the fun stuff!! I'd like to try to come up, and if I do, I'm gonna have to remember to try to stay one step ahead of Brian. I've heard the stories!!!!

 

[Mark of Diesel]

Heh! Not if you've got to move it for a living. It also makes for a long stressful drive from the wilds of Kalkaskistan... or back for that matter.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Excellent, the list is growing quickly! It will definitely be a lot of fun this year. Hopefully we don't get thrown out of the show.

 

[otm646]

"Bosch Fuel Ejection" Classic.

We won't get thrown out. We'll just use Gutz as a decoy, a giant lanky decoy.

 

[Whitbread]

Count me and the girlfriend in .

 

[Growler]

Jason, Matt etc, Count me in for the weekend. Boss lady is good with me being gone for the weekend. Ill take my usual place on the couch.

I can be up there Thursday night the 14th if anyone is gonna be home on Friday to hang out. otherwise, I can arrive anytime on Friday.

Let me know what the plans are.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Bump for the auto show!

 

[BKmetz]

WOOHOO!!

That's my weekend off!!! Count me in! Only a blizzard can keep me away.

Have we picked a 'chaos central' location yet? Two years ago it was the Microtel.

Really? I hear that Tooefer is going

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Chaos Central will be the Ho3S (House of 3 Stooges)

It's going to be a busy place that weekend. There are a couple of local hotels/motels if you need a place to camp out. I think Growler already has dibs on the couch.

 

[BKmetz]

LOL...

I can deal with bthooefr.

With that many obnoxious people in one place, it's a hotel for me. I remember the chaos in the 'party suite' at the Ohio Fest. Send me a PM with the HO3S address so I can start looking for nearby hotels.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Haha, okay... look for a hotel near Ypsilanti, MI 48197.

 

[compu_85]

Before you choose a hotel let me know the name, I can drive by and give you a "general idea" if the place is a dump or not.
