Well, I was not able to go to Trex's mini east meet 'cause I was still recovering from surgery (still am, actually), but I fully plan on attending this one. I may start the drive on Friday, stop by DC and maybe hang out with JVZ, and head up north early Saturday morning.

I've got that date penciled in on the ol'Shed U Ool, too...though after the 2 hrs plus of jes' trying to "get around the Balt area" yesterday on the run up to south Jersey, I may helicopter in, lol!

With my ichiban Daughter here in Cherry Hill, I may use her house as a way point, but if I do ""go", I could still hook w/Juan et al, but keep on going a tad further north, to S.Jersey.
Actually, I could drive the damn entire way...if I was Only a lil'bit younger, lol!


Question, of the rhetorical variety: maybe it's jes'em but, Does Anyone Know How to Drive on the Freaking Interstates anymore???!

2nd Question: in the not quite 4 years we've been out of the "Northeast", has the general population and the traffic, like multiplied 10 fold, in our short absence?!

So... for those who have gone to these events before: Is this something to which you take your significant other? Or, is this a "guy's night out" sort of thing?

My wife would like to go but:

1. She never drives, so I get no help there. She sleeps 75% of time we're on the road.

2. She has NO interest in cars - AT ALL. The ONLY reason she wants to go is because of the beach in Hammonasset State park. She loves the beach and the water... she has zero interest in cars, mods, BMWs, or anything of the sort.

3. I think it'd be fun to hang out with the guys, and maybe go out for a few beers.

For those of you who are planning to attend, are you taking your CEO, or going by yourself?

Juan

Good question.

I would imagine that wives, GF's, SO's, CEO's, etc., are welcome to attend. If someone shows up with both his wife and his GF, I'm guessing that might be problematic. I'm bringing my 13-year-old son.

Maybe some of the folks that have attended one of the WestFests, EastMeets, or ChiFest will chime in.

The ChiFest was attended by both the guys and their significant others. It was a great time.

My CEO "might" be along for the ride; dunno...
She has become less entralled w/long car rides over the years.
She likes cars, loves me , likes to meet people, but...

As we get closer and the attendance becomes more apparent, eg spouses/GFs et al, that might have some influence on her decision. OTOH, she may use a Pasadena as a subtle way to get a few days "off" from me, too.

Hi,

just returned from Australia and found this thread
I have registered for Bavarianfest and marked my calendar.
Would be great to meet up with folks and put names to faces.
Also if there're folks from NH, MA, CT, RI maybe we can get a
caravan organized and and a "X5" area at the show

- Jan
