Michigander SG "Meeting of the Minds"

Post by BMED »

How about a SG party for Michiganders and surrounding areas(or anyone that can make the trek) HERE!

They have plenty of room, good food and drink, it's in downtown Detroit right off of I-75 on Woodward Ave.

If this sounds like it would be a great place to meet, let me know and I'll set-up the reservations. If we can get a party of 20+ peeps that would be great!

This would be scheduled after the first of the year, need some time to set-up.

Canadians, remember we are just across the river.....north of Windsor, Ont. ;)

There are three casinos in the area and plenty of other things to do after the meeting. You and your families could make a day of it!

If interested, e-mail me at bmed_1@hotmail.com

Comments and/or suggestions are welcome.

If they truly felt that way why would they even allow you internet access in the first place? :confused:

Have you had problems in the past with internet people?

What if I told you mouse was going to be there too? ;)

Cool, it's a sticky. I was out since I got home from school. We ran up to Ramchargers and then to Willow Metro Park. Then I drove around for about 20 minutes to get used to driving a stick again. (1994 Mustang Cobra) Then I went on the road for my first time (in a stick) back home. (Southgate) Didn't stall it out at all :D I anticipate being able to make the trip. I will have to make sure my batteries are charged up for pictures. All the people there are going to be like, "why are all these people taking pictures and in a large group?" Oh well, it will still be cool. Maybe I will bring some friends or something, better than what we usually do now, sitting around.

Mike, Remember "Where there is a will, there is a way". I'm going to shoot for January or February 2002, so you'll have plenty of time to save for a plane ticket.......with all of the discounted flights you may be able to get here for practically nothing!

It would be great to meet you too! :)

Is Macomb anywhere near where you are planning on meeting? My brother lives in Macomb, so if I did get enough money saved up for a ticket, I could stay with him.

Very close, go to mapquest and type in 2301 Woodward, Detroit and check it out! Macomb is just a few miles northeast I believe.

mikey's coming to michigan, mikey's coming to michigan! :D

Macomb Township? Thats about 10 miles north of me. It would take me 45 minutes to get to the HockeyTown cafe, 30 minutes if IM with wee96..

I lived in Trenton for 5 years. My parents divorced when I was 3. Then I have lived here for 12 years. My uncle just retired as the chief of police in Trenton. My dad still works there and is a sargeant (sp?) Anyway, it should be a blast meeting everyone.
