Mini meet and grill this weekend?

[mazdamn02]

Anyone want to meet up and enjoy 62 degrees on saturday and hamburgers and/or brats? All we need is a location (house, park, hospital, city hall, whatever...)

EDIT: I can bring brats or hamburgers i just need to know what people prefer and how many people are coming.
if someone wants to bring potato salad, chips, etc... or something that'd be cool, and then lets do it bring your own beverage style.

"Midway Picnic Pavilion"

1pm Map of the place, here. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/mndsm/midway.jpg

[Picklz]

I would be interested! Don't really have a place in mind though. Coon Rapids Dam mebee? Not sure what kinda condition it's in up there this early, but I think they have grills. I'm open to whatever.

[mndsm]

Yeah, i'd say my place, but, no dogs allowed and I assume the ball of fur in Josh's sig should be in attendance.

[mazdamn02]

I have my portable sooper weber propane grill, so thats NBD- how about we go to the como park or something like that?

[Workdawg]

This sounds like a cool plan assuming the weather holds up.

[mazdamn02]

It will; let's pick a place and it'll be fun!

[mndsm]

Como it is. I'll bring my RC truck.

[Big Nate]

Como is cool.

[mazdamn02]

I may have to bring out ubercopter, but that may be a bit much while trying to keep tabs on a puppy.

Who else can we get to come to this shindig? Where's Jay?

[Workdawg]

If I can get Jenny to come, I'm sure she'd dog sit for you... she loves puppies!

[mazdamn02]

Cool, I'm sure my fiance will fight over puppy sitting with her, but she's in crutches at the moment so your gf will probably win lol.

[Workdawg]

Haha.

[mndsm]

Dude, the dog has to come, I want to see it.

[mazdamn02]

Dog will be there for sure. She loves car rides, especially in mazdas.

[Picklz]

Okay so Como on Saturday, what time? 1ish maybe? (I dont like getting up early)

[mazdamn02]

1 is fine. Maybe someone with super google map powers can pick a spot for us to meet.

[WhiteSpy9]

interested.....

[Picklz]

There is parking here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=&daddr=44.980259,-93.152926&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=17&sll=44.979925,-93.151553&sspn=0.004311,0.010536&ie=UTF8&z=17

Otherwise we could meet over by the lake, up to you guys.

[mndsm]

I don't care, just get me a map so i are not lost.

[AJ]

Damn, I got family coming up and probably helping my sister pick up a New Mazda! Have fun guys!

[Workdawg]

Go talk to Jesse at Morries, then you can pester him for sponsorship info... I've been bugging him, but he was sick last time I did.

If you tell him you're from MNMazda I'm sure he'd get you a good deal.

[Slim]

I might stop by.

I'd like to dognap...errr...dogsit the new pup.

[mazdamn02]

LOL I'll be watching you Tim.

[mndsm]

I'd sneak off with her, but your dog could not be disguised as a cat very long, and I would lose my residence if I had it.

[dmention7]

I won't be able to be there by 1, and I might be picking up my exhaust early that afternoon. I'm a definite "maybe"

[mazdamn02]

I won't be able to be there by 1, and I might be picking up my exhaust early that afternoon. I'm a definite "maybe"

Are you getting boomergt's old exhaust???

[mndsm]

I do believe he is.

[mazdamn02]

I must say the janky ebay exhaust lasted at least!

[dmention7]

Fail exhaust will soon be a thing of the past.

[Young Roids]

Sounds like fun. I can't make it though, family stuff.

[mazdamn02]

Dude this is like Saturn back in the 90s, with the "see where your car is born camp" - we are your family. Your other family is already with us!

[Picklz]

So 1pm but where we meeting, that lot I posted in the link to google maps or somewhere else?

[Workdawg]

I think it would make sense to setup a place to get the grill going and hang out in advance. If we meet in the parking lot and wander from there, no one who comes later will find it.

[Young Roids]

Dude this is like Saturn back in the 90s, with the "see where your car is born camp" - we are your family. Your other family is already with us!

Well I might be able to swing through for a little while. The family gathering probly won't be till later like 5 or 6.

[StealthSpeed3]

i'll be working all day - have fun

[mndsm]

Get this done! Where are we meeting?

[mazdamn02]

I don't know como other then i've been there twice. I'm sure we'll be well done by 5 or 6, at least done eating. lol

[Picklz]

Yeah I'm not real familiar with the area either just going off that little map I found.

[mndsm]

I know como even less... don't ask me.

[mazdamn02]

If preferred I could set up something in Burnsville because I don't know como worth jack, I just threw it out there for sh*ts and giggles.

[Workdawg]

Well, the "Midway Picnic Pavilion" is right there (by the parking lot), theres also some tables to the west of there, across the street. The pavilion might be a good option in case it starts raining.

[mndsm]

Dan with the save!

[mazdamn02]

killar idea. lets hope no one rented that sucka out. i don't know how that works

[mndsm]

We'll just start wailing on em til they leave.

[Picklz]

Okay so go with the pavilion or just a grassy knoll nearby if its rented (and they are bigger than us)?

[mazdamn02]

I could scare them off with my Forge BPV

[DrWebster]

If it weren't such late notice, I'd be there. Unfortunately, my Saturday has been spoken for.

[AJ]

Go talk to Jesse at Morries, then you can pester him for sponsorship info... I've been bugging him, but he was sick last time I did.

If you tell him you're from MNMazda I'm sure he'd get you a good deal.

We are hitting up Brookdale. I personally deal with Roy up there.

[dmention7]

killar idea. lets hope no one rented that sucka out. i don't know how that works

All I know is they hold wedding receptions there when it rains....

[zero cool]

sup people!!!! I would bring my 3 around but i am too embarrassed. It has taken a beating this last year and i need to get her cleaned up this year before im ready for a meet, But gimme a little bit and we will have a helluva BBQ on me!



Zc

[mikey84]

i would show up but im all out of gas and dont get paid till wednsday
and i dont think anyone is from the stillwater area and willing to pick me up

[YSOSLO]

I might be able to swing in for a bit...I think my weekend is pretty much wide open. Is it BYOmeat-for-the-grill and a dish to share or something, so it doesn't matter who brings what? I might bring a couple of tag-alongs too...


http://picasaweb.google.com/ysoslo/EllaInCostume2007/photo#5123623051457353362

[mndsm]

It's a dog a and a kid! Bring em with for sure.

Dude, where have you been?

[Workdawg]

Jenny's going to make some raspberry bars to bring. Is someone bringing buns or condiments or anything?

[Picklz]

I'll bring some Ketchup and a package of Brat buns.

Edit: First post kinda sounds like Josh might be bringing Meat, I already bought some so I will still bring what I have. It is bring your own beverage though.

[spek1098]

Have fun everyone, wish I could make it, but have family things today. I'm even in the 3 for a week or so, got 49,5xx miles, gonna run the warrenty out, then rip the engine out.

[Picklz]

Looks like there's parking right by that pavillion thing too...

[mazdamn02]

I will bring brats and we can do burgers next time. If someone wants to bring buns that's perfect, mebbe someone can bring some tater salad. In true mazda meet fashion I'm sure we will have to go to the grocery store anyways lol.

[YSOSLO]

I'll bring some brat buns, kraut and tater salad and the wife made a pasta salad with pepperoni and black olives and stuff.

[YSOSLO]

sorry, no tater salad from ysoslo. pasta salad trumped it this trip. anyone else?

[Young Roids]

Good meet guys. When I was leaving to go there were two guys in the parking lot and they were like "dude you have the same car as all these other ones!" I told them we all new each other and we were having a picnic.

[Picklz]

Yeah it was a great time, thanks for all that made it on such short notice, I was surprised at how many showed up!

And that's pretty funny about the guys and your car. Not often you see that many Mazdas all in one spot, yet alone a Majority of them being Speeds.

[Young Roids]

YEa they thought it was crazy they were laughing about it like"whoa"

[StealthSpeed3]

gotta do this on a sunday once so i can take pics! not enough pics from meets on here!

[Jesse MS3GT]

Thanks to Josh I want a catback exhaust now, too. Ugh... lol

Dan and taya had fun "reserving" parking spots. Good meet.

[Workdawg]

Yeah, definitely a cool time... Thanks to all the people who brought food, and also for not eating the raspberry bars so there was more left over for me :p

[AJ]

Where the fuck are the pics?

[Picklz]

I was too busy eating Brats to take pics, sorry.

[mazdamn02]

Thanks to Josh I want a catback exhaust now, too. Ugh... lol

Dan and taya had fun "reserving" parking spots. Good meet.

I'm glad I finally may get someone to spend money on their car- but Tom still takes the cake for actually making me go buy my car (i'm glad I did though lol)

[ZoomZoom Diva]

I was somewhat in the process of getting ready for house guests this weekend... trying to depit the house.

[mazdamn02]

i was awe struck by how many people made it out for a 1 day notice, pretty awesome! I think there were like 9 of us or so...

[Picklz]

Actually there was like 13 at one point, really awesome turnout

[mazdamn02]

It was quite a few- people best come hungry next time lol, hopefully i can show up on time next time too, lol.

[Workdawg]

Another 1.5 hours of eating would have been enough to get another brat or two in me... so yeah, on time would have been great :p

The guy with the grill can show up whenever he wants though, the party doesn't start without him.

[mazdamn02]

Good to know I'm needed :P

[mndsm]

Yeah Josh, I may not affect mods much, but with my current total of making people spend money close to 40k, I'm pretty much guaranteed the prize for that one.
