Modified Madness at Penn State, May 21 - 22!

[Rush]

Figured I might as well start a new thread on this, per the suggestion of DiS, so that we aren't cluttering up Justin's (jersey_emt) thread about the NJ stuff.

Anyway, for those that haven't heard, there's gonna be a rather huge car show up at the Penn State main campus (located in State College, PA) the weekend of May 21 - 22.

Information can be found here:

As I go to school at Penn State and have a house there, I know FOR SURE that I will DEFINITELY be there. And after talkin' to Dana (Kooldino) last night about hotels and stuff, I'm pretty sure that he and DiS -- and two others? -- are coming as well. And then Dana said somethin' about meeting up with Jamie (Installshield 2, I think?) .. ??

Soyeah. Here's a thread so we can all get our s*** together before the end of May rolls around, haha.

 

[DiS]

yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! hehehe(wrc) I wanna bring my car to PA also but dang, I wont keep up with Dana........at least not until my custom turbo project will be finished, hehe, but then again i wont keep up with him anyways, haha. Anyhow. Im going to Dana's house this Saturday after my appointment at Mufflex shop in Trenton. Still gotta figure out which hotel we going to be stopping at.

 

[Rush]

.. Mebbe we should all meet up somewhere in NJ before headin' out to the show, and then drive over together. Cause I'm gonna drivin' to it from LBI, and makin' the trip with other peeps is always more pleasant than goin' five hours alone, LOL.

And yeah, I talked to Dana last night about the hotels up here. So hopefully he makes up his mind soon -- the friggin' picky-ass punk. Pfaha.

Yeah dude, I was trying to get ahold of you while I was up there the last couple of weeks. I was actually supposed to come up there for Dane Cook, but since my engine's shot, that ain't happening. I'm planning on going up there as long as my new engine is put in and running and provided I don't work on those days. Where you living up there?

Thanks to Rush, I have it narrowed down to two. I meant to make a quick call to one of them from work today, but i got slammed (i mean busy...) at work and every time I was about to something came up. I'll be reserving them tomorrow (Thurs).

We should definitely meet up somewhere, ESPECIALLY since you know where the hell you're going, Rush. I've only been to State College twice ever, and the last time was about 3 years ago.

 

[vindication]

so how long you figure it'll take you guys to get there? looks like I'll add a little bit over an hour to my time. I wanna go but I dont know if I wanna stay there. depends on the time to get there/back.

Yeah, I got your PM's -- but it was always later on Monday after you said you'd already be gone. My work schedule's a b****.

I live right around the downtown area, which is a good deal -- that way I can just stumble home at night and don't have to worry 'bout driving anywhere, LOL.

Edit: Vin', the drive for me from LBI is gonna be about five hours, give or take. But I figure that we'd all probably meet up somewhere in central NJ? Unless there's a better starting point?

You're probably talking about 7 hours...you'd better stay there if you go.

 

[vindication]

dang 7hrs? I was thinking like 5. ohh well. actually......just looked at mapquest and it says 4hrs15min. Hmmm, I'd leave at like 5:00am to get there around 10 when it starts and then I could leave whenever(ends at 8:00pm doubt I'll be there that long). damn, discissions discissions

 

[Rush]

Just to let you guys know .. I make the drive at LEAST once every two months between northeast Philly and State College. The total distance is a little over 200 miles, and I always, ALWAYS make it in three hours -- despite the fact that MapQuest says it should take me over three and a half. So I wouldn't take the times that MapQuest gives to be completely accurate.

 

[DiS]

Rush, I live in Central NJ (Middlesex county), and dont really know from which direction you will be coming to meet us in NJ (if that ever will happen, heh). Dana lives one hour from me (he's in south Jersey) and if your route to his house will fall through my place, you can stop here and we can take my car to Dana's unless you want to take your car to Dana's. Either way is kewl, and even if you just going to meet with Dana without stopping at my place its kewl too. Anyhow, I will be going from my house to Dana's leaving my baby there and riding shotgun with Dana. Man how many times did I just say Dana's name? I lost my count haha.(coffee) Anyhow.

Dana, are we leaving on Friday night or Saturday morning?

Last time I went out there it took me about 5 hours from Atlantic City, NJ. I just figured that since you're a few hours north of me, it would take you even longer.

I want to leave Friday afternoon, so we don't get there late as hell. I'm going to take a few hours off that Friday from work so we can leave early. Will you be able to take a few hours off?

BTW, I got our reservation yesterday.

 

[boostisgood]

Ill probably be goin. The missus will probably go too. As it gets closer, Ill pm you guys my Cell and we could all meet up or somethin

Dana, ill just take that Friday off. Im guessing, we will be coming back on Sunday night or Monday morning? anyways, Ill take Monday off too, overtime each working day gives me plenty of time to take days off, hehe

yea Boostisgood, definetly man, let us know!

 

[Kooldino]

Dana, ill just take that Friday off.

Ok, cool. We can probably meet up at my place and have lunch and then head out.

Im guessing, we will be coming back on Sunday night or Monday morning?

Sunday night. No need to take off Monday, unless you just wanna recover from the weekend.

Sunday night. No need to take off Monday, unless you just wanna recover from the weekend.

yea dude, Im GONNA have to take Monday off because if I WILL go to work on Monday ill have to get up at 4:30am (not 5am anymore) because since its summer we switched at work for 30 minutes earlier. So yea Ill let my boss know this Monday, heh. And the sweet thing is that ill still get paid for those 2 days that ill take off, hehe

 

[boostisgood]

Well let me know what hotel, so I can make a reservation Need all the pros at the same spot

 

[DiS]

gotcha. Dana already reserved the room, but he didnt tell me the hotel's name, so its on his soul right now to let you know, heh.

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

How much per night did you get the rooms for? I think I have a place to stay for free when I get up there, but I need to confirm that and if it falls through early, I need a place other than my car to stay in. Also, do we all want to meet somewhere right outside of State College so we can all roll in together, and park with each other? Just some thoughts. Also, you guys doing the outdoor show class or non-showed. I think I'm gonna do the show class... I can't wait to get up there guys.

1 month away!
