"BETA" Michigan SG gathering...

Post by BMED »

This is the “Final” plan for our Michigan SG meeting, since it’s creation 11/16/01.

https://www.speedguide.net/forums/ ... adid=56494

When: Saturday, April 6th, @ 2:00pm

Where: The meeting place will be at the Best Western Inn, in Woodhaven, Michigan. We will meet in the lobby at 2:00pm and then move into the lounge/restaurant area, which opens at 3:00pm.

The Bar/lounge area opens at 3:00pm, and the restaurant doesn’t start serving until 4:30pm…their food probably sucks anyway! That’s O.K.; we have many other restaurants, bar & grill, go-carts and putt-putt, bowling alleys within a mile radius of the hotels. (Also a few pizza joints)

The original destination (Hockey Town Café) was blown out the water, due to Baseball opening season in Detroit, and the fact that Detroit City isn’t a very safe haven for visitors. Therefore, we have decided to hold the meeting in a safer atmospheric area…like Woodhaven! (23 miles south of Detroit) We hope that all members within a stone’s throw can make the trek! We (I) will also provide mobile transportation for those members traveling from abroad, via airlines.

Please bring your camera, web cam or any evidence device to capture the moment. We plan on making this event an “all-nighter”…so be prepared!

You will find info below pertaining to accommodations; these three hotels are within 100 meters from each other. Please plan on staying over-night if you are from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois…we need your tourism dollar! :D

Back in October 2001, this sounded like a great idea to everyone within the area, since then many have changed their demeanor….why? Was it 911 that brought us stressfully together? Or was it just a coincidence? Regardless, we must continue to unite and prosper together as a family! This meeting is the beginning of a new realm, a new generation of technically advanced people that make a difference in this world. We are tomorrow’s future… we are the elite! So please join us in this celebration of Philips dream, help us make it happen!

Keep in mind; this is a “beta” gathering! It may not work with your system… ;) Just show up and be accounted for! ;)


Thanks, BMED {{~Jeff~}}

Are you guys going to need seperate rooms now? :D


BTW, I was going to see how much the large suite cost at the Holiday Inn. It may be big enough to hold an "all-nighter" at, with plenty of room for everyone.


Oh yeah, Jello is banned in Woodhaven, very old law!

The suite sounds like a good idea.

Hmm...

Challenge Authority :D

Should be begin circulating a petition to the fine citizenary of Woodhaven? I believe the banning of jello is a very bad thing...

I am going to bring my notebook w/web cam. I thought we could host a "Live" web cast of the event, maybe using Yahoo Messenger or similar software. It's a free download, so anyone can sign up and connect to my username...then BOOM, live SG party! (with chat too).

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD! Any one know any cops in Woodhaven? We may need some help! Or at least someone to bribe to keep us out of trouble!

Awesome Brembo, that will be great!

Great news, brembo! The more the marrier! :D

If Bala can make the trek, he was also looking for someone to split a room with. The Best Western is pretty booked that weekend, only single queen beds available...not cool! The other two places listed have accommodations that would suit you both better...with no sheep!

This is getting better and better everyday!


BMED= :D

PS, The three hotels listed are within a parking lot of each other.

yep! It actually started out as a SG mouse pad, from the SG gear store. I just added the lighting effect and text, then presto!

It's also going to be enlarged to poster size for the meeting, so everyone can sign it! ;)

I have decided I am willing to spend the money to go. I told my boss I might want April 1 - April 9 off for my vacation. I still cannot find a flight at a cheap price. Even if I do I have to send money to the credit card first. I want to leave April 3 or 4 and return April 8. Hopefully things will woprk out in the short amount of time left.
