IN the Middle

[fiestyalerogirl81]

B)

[misslindseysue]

Half way what?

[fiestyalerogirl81]

like should we find a place for everyone to meet that it's the half-way point for everyone? instead of some ppl having to drive far more than others. And this way we can get more people to show up at the fun meets.

[misslindseysue]

I think when planning a "Midwest" meet that people usually try to pick a central location. I like the idea of local meets too, so you can get to know people nearer you that you're more likely to see more often. And then you can go to regional meets together.
So yeah, regional meets should be planned to be available to everyone, but not at the expense of local ones.

[Silentalero]

central spot would be IN

so why dont we make the meet the paintball meet?

[fiestyalerogirl81]

good thinking there silent. All in favor of Silent!!!!

[alerosport.com]

Indy or Fort wayne?

or whre in IN?

Iv never been paintballing that would be fun...

[johny_boy32]

thats fine by me i guess...

[misslindseysue]

I'm not driving to Indiana to play paintball, but y'all have fun, and maybe I'll see you next time.

[Silentalero]

y not?

itll be fun

[misslindseysue]

I don't dig being shot at, and I'm a sore loser. It's a long ways to drive to pay just to be shot and sit around for the rest of the day. Maybe if you paintball in the morning, and then meet for lunch or dinner, or something, I'd show up later.

[alerosport.com]

^^ that would be cool ^^

we could also post something in grandamgt.com if they wana join in on the phun if and when we get a date

[Silentalero]

yuea we'd have it to be a big paintball thing, but the paintball sessions are only 3 hours so we wouldnt be doing that all day

[fiestyalerogirl81]

indianapolis is a little bit too far south of everyone? The point was to try and get wisconsin, michigan people to come to the same meets. Is there a paintball in northern indiana?

[bdyman]

i dunno.....if some one shot me with a paint ball i would take it and shove it up there ass!!...lol....
meet up?? ya sure
talk cars?? ya sure
car show?? ya sure
being shot by a exploding ball of paint???
no thx`s

[Oldsman]

normally midwest meets consist of a person from WI and from IN so chicago is in the middle. Maybe if MI people would come then we would make the meets more centralized form everyone but right now they are centralized for who comes.

[aLeRogrL21]

I agree with leaving IL. the middle state for meets...because I've experienced going out of state and the meet having about 5 people there when it was a 3-4 hour drive for me and i hung around for like a couple hours...

[Voodosoup]

^^^Haha^^^ Sorry! :( That was pretty bad for that long of a drive!!!!!!

But we got to watch the kid on the ATV!!!!!!!!!!!

[Oldsman]

now i don't mind having say 3 different meets in different locations to hopefully to bring more people to come.

[Travis99Alero]

I'd try to attend a meet in Indy if you guys ever decide to have one there. Wouldn't mind playing a little paintball either.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

well if we decided to have something in indiana, like paintball, it should be notified at least a month ahead of time, and make it a weekend thing, and rent a few hotel rooms. That way for those who have to drive 3plus hours, wont have to do all this driving in one day.

[overdrive75]

3+ hours one, way that aint no big deal, but to each there own. I guess when you drive for a living, that seems trivial.

[Silentalero]

umm 3 hrs in 1 day is nothing......

try spending 12 hrs going to carlisle,PA now thats a haul

[Molson]

haha, exactly, all my trips for meets has been a continuous drive, St Louis MO, 15 hours, GAP twice, 7 hours, Richmond VA, 14 hours, Philly 9 hours, Pittsburgh 6 hours, a 3 hour jaunt would just warm the car up.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

hey i'm just trying to make it easier, instead of driving soo much in one day. I wouldnt drive more than 5 hrs.
I'd take a plane instead, or a train.

[Molson]

Ya, cause that works good for a car meet.

[bdyman]

^^^lol............personally wisconsin:michigan:indiana:and maybe ohio&
iowa. now i don`t see why the people from the chicago area meet more often and we really try to
driving does not bother me at all
could some one buy her a clue please..........lol..........

[fiestyalerogirl81]

i'm not the one who needs a clue!

[dopey]

id love to play paintball with those fags from gagt.

im sure it would prolly turn into an everybody Vs. Sweet kinda think though

[Oldsman]

you know i would be on your side, sweet.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

^^^^sure u would, if you cant beat them, might as well join them.

[Oldsman]

I don't think so. Sweet knows what is up. and you don't. Besides you would be too scared to even come.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

na its the drive.

[Oldsman]

your scared to drive...................lol we are also scared of your driving..........lol

3 hour drive isn't bad. driving father than that for one day meet is hard.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

scared of my driving,,,you dont even know how i drive yet. (well expect for my past stories")Unless silent said soemthing, but he only seen me drive once and was way behind me!

[Oldsman]

no it was your past stories.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

who me??? u got me mixed up with someone else. lol/

[aLeRogrL21]

It's okay phil, I had fun and was just disappointed with how the meet was. Like I stated it's good that in IL., the meets are actually a good turnout...plus I'm excited to meet even more people--I haven't seen phil, marc & Linda, greg, & scot in awhile. Plus, who hates to go to hooter's....no one! Great food

[Silentalero]

Ok so yea im down for the paintball thing, who else is a go?

Sweet (fo sho, haha cant miss that target, fokin m&m, lol)

evilinside??

I wanna do this, and i dun care ill drive the 3 hrs in the cavi :)

[wc_alero]

Maybe a dumb question, but are you still talking in Indy for the paintball thing?

You can put me down as going, or if its not in indy I still might go depending on how far it is.

[Travis99Alero]

i'd do it, depending on when u guys decide to do it.

[dopey]

marc ill go. just lemme know when it is.

ill even drag joel along.... haha

[Silentalero]

OMG please drag joel hahaha thats just open game on him, lol


Ok guys, yes this is going to be a paintball thing for the first part of the day and probly just hangin out eating kinda thing or unless we find something else to do which im sure we can....hell pool hall or bowloing or sumthin.


Ok im going to make an official post in the news section so Please sign up if you want to go.

Right now I wanna get the intrest of people then we can all agree on a date.

[aLeRogrL21]

I'm in as long as it is on the weekends!!! Plus it would be so much fun...I love paintballing. They actually opened a place right on Randall Rd. in St. Charles, IL. like 5 minutes from my apartment.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

now i would try that one first.

[sound_xtreme]

ummm, i HAVE paintballed before. but if i aint too busy ill tag along. maybe ill bring dave.

[Fast Eddie]

bunny indy that like's hours the OTHER side of chi which is 6 hr drive to begin with; You guys still looking to get together the 18th? might need a about 6 sq ft of floor :)

I think you guys need to remember those of us truley in the MIDwest (1800 miles to SF and NYC) like me, Bryce, homes out in hot springs, I know there a a few guys in KC and a few more around here. So yeah, when is the Des moines meet? that's about 3 hrs from chi and from here?

[noextreme04]

if we can set a date and a place i will go. I want to meet everyone in the area, its nice talking to everyone in the area, but i never got to meet anyone yet.
