Knoxville Meet

[Mazdaspeedgirl]

You guys wouldn't want to go to the Gap the weekend of July 26th anyway. unless you wanted to be surround by about 500 miatas.
as it turns out, I am actually hitting the Gap on the 26th and 27th. Fundage is low right now (hubby has racked up over $900 in speeding tickets--I can't even race), so I may only have enough dinero to afford the last weekend in July.

We'll see how it turns out though. hopefully I can attend the Protege meet too.

Hey guys. I'm really sorry about the long time it took for this reply. I went to visit family in Chicago for the weekend. I was going to use their computer to get on here. But I never got it to work right. I don't know. OK, so I see the 19th isn't happening. What happened? The 2nd is fine with me. Has that been set in stone. I had already asked off for the 19th, so I just want to make sure before I say I can work that day.

Sorry you got stuck trying to do everything again Witchdoktor. I'm not going anywhere else so I'll try not to stick you with it all. So it's agreed we don't want to do Gatlinburg? I can't blame you guys. I just got back from a 8 hour drive. I just thought there might be more to do. The only thing about cruising here in Knoxville is that with the UT campus closed for summer, there won't be a lot of cars here. But if you guys want to stay here, cool. Did you want to find a club, or a bar? Something like that would be OK, I just don't know if you guys are up for drinking since I don't know you guys that well.

As for meeting at my work, it would depend on how many and what time. Are you guys still wanting lunchtime to meet or earlier? If it's earlier we can definately hang for awhile. I figured we would want to eat somewhere nicer anyways. Spicy's is cool. I'll double check with the owner that we can hang at my work until we're ready to go somewhere else. It might be nice to find a better parking lot to take some pics anyway. I'll find something close. Anyway, so it's Aug. 2. Meet at Schlotzsky's 10 or 11 would be great for me, but you guys are driving in so let me know when you can get here. How does that sound?

 

[zoomgrl]

Sorry about the attachment. I didn't mean to do that. Don'tworry about looking at it.

 

[Witchdoktor]

August 2nd works for most everyone. 2PM would be a good time for us out of towners. Two charlotte meets were at UNCC. One member who goes there secured the lot with campus police, then we went off to eat after that.

 

[I_Vtec]

Yeah we secured the lot alright. Till we got kicked the **** out.

 

[Mazdaspeed1]

you guys got kicked off of the uncc campus parking lot?? what for? or did they even give a reason??

 

[zoomgrl]

OK guys. I secured my work parking lot for us. August 2 around 2pm. When we find out who's going for sure, I'll pm everyone directions.

If you guys don't want to go to Gatlinburg, another option is to just find a decent restaurant to eat at and just park them there and hang. What do you guys think?

 

[I_Vtec]

We got kicked out because we were acting a little crazy. We all were driving up to the top of the parking garage to take some pictures. Well if you're in a parking garage you have to lay a little rubber. So 20 or so cars laying rubber in a parking garage and reving their engines got us kicked out.

Here's a nice picture capturing the moment.

 

[Mazdaspeed1]

nice pic pro5man.... stupid campus cops... did they do anything besides just telling you all to leave???

 

[I_Vtec]

That's not my pic. Thanks to who ever took it.

All they did was make us leave.
