Summer Meet And Greet, WESTSIDE

[redfbird99]

Well now that this years spring meet and greet is done I have been talking with a few people and feel it would be fun to do another summer meet and greet on the west side. If we can get 32 people to caravan over to the east side surely we can put up a good show here. We acctually did this a couple years ago and NO eastsiders showed up, we had a good time anyway! (it was acctually my first time ever meeting anyone from this site.)

Here is the old thread for info, http://mifbody.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=4211&highlight=tunnel

I was thinking we should do almost the exact same thing again, Tunnel park is a very nice park, but location may have to change pending how many people are going to show, but it is a very fun cruise down the lakeshore, we could possibly even stop in Grand Haven.

Any thoughts suggestions or whatever? if everyone agrees we could probably do August 9 or 16 for the get together.

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

this would be nice, considering that i didnt get to make it to the REAL meet n greet ;) i would be down for the cruise

[my95z28]

i'll be there fr whatever goes down

[kammi10]

yep im in

[MiT/A'96]

HELL Yes !!!! I'm in for sure,get togethers are kool

and Cruisin' is even better.Nice weather is only here a short time ,

Lets enjoy it !!!! :grin:

[OIF1VET]

I'm in.. As long as it isn't during summer celebration, June 26th through July 6th..

[twoanimal4]

Sounds awesome derek, Missed the meet and greet had to work.

[97rs4life]

yea the one we had at tunnel park we called the "fall" meet and greet, rather than a summer one. It was a nice cruise up lakeshore drive, great area and all

[Old Fart]

Hillary and I would be up for it. There are many nice parks on this side of the state. Not as big as Kensington but still nice.

[TSTONE]

fyi - Woodward Dream Cruise is the 16th

[dj's ws6]

Sounds great. I am in.

[81DaytonaPaceCar]

fyi - Woodward Dream Cruise is the 16th

Yeah...and all the pre-Cruise stuff will start the 9th...

[JoeliusZ28]

Entire month of august = woodward for me

[81DaytonaPaceCar]

Entire month of august = woodward for me

Pretty much, yeah...

[meissenation]

I'm game, but for a different schedule date. I've been saying I wish we did more M&Gs so we could get it down like a science to perfect it. Once a year makes it really hard.

Let's figure out a date and we'll need some volunteers to help me in setting up at the park. Or are we going to make it really really informal like just come and meet up no check in no awards?

[mcg355]

Well you might have at least one eastsider show up! i couldnt make it to the offical m&g but im going to try my best to make this one.

[Phantom383]

O.k. I had to go 3 threads deep for this :(

I think we need an OFFICIAL thread to keep it all in one spot?
Do it like the M&G thread :)

BTW, I'M IN :woot:

August is getting busy on the west side too.

[Will]

I'd cruise over!

The second weekend in September, or any time after the "Back to the Brickyard Show" would work.

Another date to avoid: October 10-12 WMCC Fall Color Tour

Going back to Tunnel Park and a cruise along Lake Michigan sounds great.

[Orange Terror]

Going back to Tunnel Park and a cruise along Lake Michigan sounds great.

That would be my preference too.

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

i dont think the issue is that the people from the east side arent willing to cruise over there, i think that theres just A LOT going on. that schedule makes me think that setting this up might get a little tricky

[WMCC Gary]

I vote late sept early October.

[TSTONE]

How about July 26th then?

Telegraph Cruise :shrug:

[redfbird99]

july 26th would work unless the telegraph cruise is something special or something? lol, let me know what date yall are thinking and ill start a formal rsvp thread.
Brian I was thinking we should keep this very informal, it will be more of a meet up than a full fledged car show, basically just another chance for everyone to sit back and have a good time, if families go, there is a nice beach a hundred yards away through the tunnel for the kids and wives to go sit on the beach and swim etc.. Last time, dennis called the grand haven pd and told them we were going through as not to cause havoc.

Once again lets figure out a date and ill post a new rsvp so people dont get confused with the old one, (Can someone close the old thread?) If i recall ty knows alot about the park because he lives right there so he may chime in here with details I forgot.

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

it would be awesome if there were a nice beach nearby, i would definitely make a weekend of it then!

[redfbird99]

it would be awesome if there were a nice beach nearby, i would definitely make a weekend of it then!

this is west michigan, the entire area is coastline, and the cruise is right on lakeshore drive, it curves with the lake.. lol then we go through downtown grand haven and you can look right at the lake the whole time.. Its a real neat city, one of my favorites in fact.

[92conv]

I like the mid-late July idea, greater chance of having decent weather.

[WMCC Doug]

early September or October gets my vote.

(Except for the dates Gary & I mentioned earlier.)

[WMCC Gary]

HOw about we all meet at the Rivertree show in Byron center. I beleive that show is on July 27th?. Its a really nice show and alot of WMCC member attend everyear. I'm currently waiting on confirmation of the date.

[WMCCjames]

I like that idea Gary only it's a Sunday show....I think in hopes of trying to get some of the eastsiders we need to have a saturday event?

haha, the east is a coastline too, but that doesnt mean id go swimming in that water ;)

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

I like that idea Gary only it's a Sunday show....I think in hopes of trying to get some of the eastsiders we need to have a saturday event?

and yes, i think having the event on a saturday would be helpful

[redfbird99]

I like that idea Gary only it's a Sunday show....I think in hopes of trying to get some of the eastsiders we need to have a saturday event?

yea I def agree, needs to be saturday.

[TSTONE]

it would be awesome if there were a nice beach nearby, i would definitely make a weekend of it then!

youre wanting to show off the new suit and purse combo :P

[phoenix_rising]

All right Derek! I feel like I need to redeem myself for not making it out to the westside much last season. Also since the Nesting of the Birds is gone I will need to make up a show. Set a date and a location and I'll be there with my car for a change! Oh and I'll be sure to drag a few others along too :grin:

[Chicklet]

I'm in - for sure! Score!

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

youre wanting to show off the new suit and purse combo :P

haha, no. actually, i just absolutely love a nice beach and didnt get enough last year. i will be spending as much time as possible there this year. so, car show+awesome beach would be amazing

[MiT/A'96]

Ottawa Beach is just a Cruise ' from Tunnel Park ...

It has a huge parking lot,nice beach , and a board walk out to the famous

Big Red light house ,and the canal that comes into Lake MacCatawa....

Grand Haven also has the same ,plus a strip to Cruise,along the lake ...

:grin:.....And MAYBE ,a PARTY afterwards at my house ,which is just a cruise from tunnel park..... ???????

[Chicklet]

I'm ok with it being informal with no prizes or anything. It's cool to just mingle and chill!

[nascarnate326]

:grin:.....And MAYBE ,a PARTY afterwards at my house ,which is just a cruise from tunnel park..... ???????


Im game for party and pizza at Tonys, as well as a West Side meet up. Ill show up no matter what.

[dj's ws6]

I like the mid-late July idea, greater chance of having decent weather.


This would be a great time for it. Should be nice weather for a meet and greet and cruise.

[MiT/A'96]

This is shapeing up GOOD !!!!!!:grin:

Start me UP !!!!!! :P

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

Im game for party and pizza at Tonys, as well as a West Side meet up. Ill show up no matter what.

:transam-white::1998-camaro-h-orang:iroc-red::2000-pontiac-black::smokey::iroc-black::transam-maroon::2000-camaro-silver: That looks like 8 more eastsiders then will actually show up. :lol:

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

also, i agree that it should be informal

[MORNINGSTAR2101]

That looks like 8 more eastsiders then will actually show up. :lol:

lol, thats because he forgot to include a pewter one ;)

[Will]

Apparently I forgot to include mine too.

[97rs4life]

Yea, time to get on the phone and call the parks for rates and also to see if it is possible to close off a part of it for us.

I know last time we were in the corner of tunnel park and luckily just had enough parking, but it was so informal that we just showed up at the park and found a spot to park, it was busy though and the lot filled up with beach goers. So we would want to reserve an area just for us if we were to do it. We also cruised up lakeshore drive and went to craigs cruisers in spring lake to race go carts and mini golf. Great time

[86Camaro]

needs to be an official west side m&g thread somewhere

[MP81]

Hey guys, this sounds like an AWESOME idea!

I'd definately be down for an east-side cruise in - seems like you west-siders had a fun time coming over here, I'd imagine it'd be the same going over there.

So yeah, August would be a big no no month. But I'm definately good most other weekends...unless I'm going on vacation? Lets set a date in stone for this West Side Meet and Greet so I can notify my parents (more specifically my dad, as I think he might want to come along, since he enjoyed the Meet and Greet last weekend - if not, I'm forcing him to).

this sounds absolutly perfect. Then maybe we can reserve the stupid driving for the track LOL

[Phantom383]

I'm down for the July Date :yesss:

The 1st weekend in Aug. is the Northern Nationals, have to go to that :D

[MiT/A'96]

This sounds like its going to be a Tuffy !!!

Too many things are going on ,just have to know your priorities...:grin:

What ever happens ,we can still have fun ....:grin:

[WMCC Gary]

[redfbird99]

If we cant somehow block off that whole back corner we had last time we may have to switch to a lot somewhere else..

[redfbird99]

for those never been to tunnel park here is the website..
http://www.miottawa.org/ParksVI/Parks/tunnel.htm
plenty for the family to do so there is no excuse for those with families to say they have to stay home with their families.. take them along and everyone can have a good time! :)

[redfbird99]

agreed. chances are ill be cruising solo so id appreciate a cruise in

[97rs4life]

checked the site out and they post that you can rent out the picnic areas, but renting a picnic area does not gaurantee a parking spot...

I am more worried about parking than getting a pavalion, lol

[MiT/A'96]

ttt:grin:

[mikek18]

im in for sure. just let me know when so I can request the time off.

and definatly gonna have to party with the pizza man.

[Old Fart]

Then maybe try a park a bit away from the beach such as Earl Brewer or Douglas Walker. Beach parks in July are always packed.

true story!

[WMCC DENNIS]

July 26 works for me, not any major car shows going on... :lol:

[MP81]

Yeah. Gotta get a good spot where we can all park, though.

[WMCC Doug]

I may not make this one ...... fall works much better for me.

[WMCC Gary]

I may not make this one ...... fall works much better for me.
:ditto:

[redfbird99]

I may not make this one ...... fall works much better for me.

fall is the gvsu car show that a lot of members attend, this show would be for mifbody to meet up in the summer..

[MiT/A'96]

Your never gonna please everybody .Do a reistration-sign up and go from there...:grin:

[meissen]

Throw a poll up to vote on the date. If you go too late in fall, you might as well count everyone except a few of us from the East side out because they'll be in school or whatever and they'll have some sort of excuse for not coming.



I'll hopefully be there either way.

[MP81]

I say July FTW... :shrug:

[lozanoa11]

ill be out of school in fall soo.... but i like the idea of cruizing up or down the lakeshore

[MiT/A'96]

[lozanoa11]

[mikek18]

so have we decided on a date yet?

[MiT/A'96]

so have we decided on a date yet?

July 26TH. ....I think ,Mike.... :P

[redfbird99]

yea if all is good we will do july 26th, now i just need to figure out how to do an rsvp thing, the estimate of how many cars going will help to determine if we need to find a bigger beach park.. can a mod add an rsvp to this or how is it done?

[MP81]

So July 26th is the for sure date?

Get an event up, so we can start planning an east-side cruise over!

Welcome to the Wild West Side !!!!!!!:grin:

[meissen]

Moved to the new Official Summer M&G forum. :)

[meissen]

Have we firmed up a location? Let's get a location firmed up 100% and talk to the location's staff/management so we can be sure that we have enough parking and what not. Once we're firm on location, I'll throw together an informational thread like we had for the Annual Spring M&G

[Transamsfast]

to far for me, I dont like wasting a lot of gas or putting miles on :(

[WMCC Gary]

to far for me, I dont like wasting a lot of gas or putting miles on :(There would have been 32 fewer cars at the M&G if us WEST SIDERS thought like that. :lol:

[meissen]

Yup, now we'll start hearing from all the East side pansies that are too scared to drive out of their 15 mile comfort zone. :lol:

[Phantom383]

to far for me, I dont like wasting a lot of gas or putting miles on :(

Save our money and get you taill over here!
It cost me 140 for gas for the M&G but I have a 383 with a big cam and I still got 19MPG.

So............................

[meissen]

Yup, no excuses! Angie took her firebird literally the entire perimeter around the lower peninsula of Michigan a couple years ago when we went on one trip, and now we're getting ready to take another trip and you can bet your *** if Angie would let me drive Red Alert to Mackinac city, Island, and Sault St. Marie I'd do it in a heartbeat. :D

[Transamsfast]

iv took my cat for 3+ hour trips multiple times in my car. but with classes costing 3000.00 every 10 weeks money is tight

[my95z28]

iv took my cat for 3+ hour trips multiple times in my car. but with classes costing 3000.00 every 10 weeks money is tight

but what about your car? lol :lol:

[WMCC Gary]

iv took my cat for 3+ hour trips multiple times in my car. Cruisin woodward for 3 hours doesn't count. :razz: :lolsign: :jk:

[Transamsfast]

lol, no no. highway trips. but i have tons of money going into my car right now, so far 2000.00 this year alone and not even halfway done :(

[MiT/A'96]

iv took my cat for 3+ hour trips multiple times in my car. but with classes costing 3000.00 every 10 weeks money is tight


SO...Bring your damn cat over ,we have a HUGE litter box here called " BEACH "


But ,I know ................................

" Life is a BEACH ,then you get sand up your AZZ ".....

[MP81]

Yay! Official summer M&G forum!!!!

[FireBirdGirl02]

I would love to take Brian's car up to Mackinaw but I don't want him to have to put all that wear and bug guts on the car. So we are going to let all that happen to the Taurus! lol

I have taken the Firebird out to the east side several times and I love driving out there every time. And I would love to get a BIG group of people and drive out there like the guys from the west siders do.

[klrlt1]

Im heading twords mackinaw this weekend in the Green machine.

[Boost Addict]

So the location is going to be......?

[meissen]

Yeah guys, we really need to firm up a location for this.

[MiT/A'96]

Well Derek is the spokeman here .....
Maybe he''ll chime in to confirm it..

Tunnel Park keeps popping up,don't know if this is
a def yet,cause unsure of aprox...how many are showing up...:grin:

[MiT/A'96]

ttt...:grin:

[Old Fart]

Tunnel Park is nice but I'd go for a park not by the beach. Beach parks are always packed in the summer time. Just my two cents worth.

[Blue_Thunder]

I second that. It will be much easier to get 20+ cars in a park that is not on the beach. Plus if its a windy day we wont have to worry about sand all over our rides. I will be there as long as nothing else happens to my camaro, knock on wood.

[silver6_maro]

i cant believe i have overlooked this so many times, guess ive been busy but this sounds good, last time when we set it up it was a great time, good little meet, cruise and craigs cruisers was fun too racing and eating pizza!

[Chicklet]

I'll be there! Just curious about the food part? Order pizzas? Potluck?

[MP81]

I thought Tony was makin Pizzaaaas....

Potluck would probably not work to well for the few east siders coming...

[Will]

I think it'd be ok. Just bring a cooler.

[WMCC DENNIS]

read The Offical Thread, Food Is Sold At All Three Locations We Will Cruze To.

[Chicklet]

yeah, this is true... I just like potlucks ;)

[MiT/A'96]

yeah, this is true... I just like potlucks ;)

What ever you want to do......
A cooler w/food is KOOL !!!!

But I'll share some Pizza with Specail people ,tho !!!

Mr. West (AKA:Pizza Slut ),is a nice guy ...you know !!:P

[MP81]

Probably won't be attending now.

[MiT/A'96]

Probably won't be attending now.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!:sad:!!

[MP81]

I was looking forward to it too.

But, shit happens. :(

[ramairusty]

Sounds like a good time, count me in. Did I miss where the time we are meeting in
Muskegon/Spring Lake is posted.

Are you guys planning on mini-golf, go-carts, etc. Personally not interested, but what ever you want is fine, just would like to know.

I like Annie's idea of mingle and chill, that's what makes Dawgs fun, not a lot of snobbery going on. The car show stuff can be put aside, plenty of that going on everywhere anyway.

Who is going to call different parks to see if parking spots can be reserved.

Rawhide

[ramairusty]

I posted a suggestion regarding cruising the entire length of Lakeshore Dr. from Grand Haven, dont see it here.

[DTZ28]

I put this on a different thread over the weekend before I saw the official forum/thread for the cruise, thought I would put it here for all to read.


This sounds like a good cruise.

Might I make a suggestion about the route down Lakeshore Dr. into Holland. We talked about this last night at Dawg's and most agreed with this: Cruise ALL THE WAY down Lakeshore Dr to Ottawa Beach Rd, head into Holland State Park(only a mile) turn around and head down Ottawa Beach Rd to next destination. Turning off Lakeshore Dr any sooner we'd miss some cool stretch of road. This a cool boulevard to cruise and would be a great way to top it off. Plus we would actually be covering ALL of Lakeshore Dr. I've done this hundreds of times(old stomping ground) and it one of the best drives in S.W. Mi.

Not trying to take over here, just seems like a good idea and all involved in conversation last night agreed.

I'm not really sure of the area, but if we cruised from whereever and ended up at the reception at the end of our cruise that would be cool. Stay a couple hours, then cruise to Gemmen's then Dawg's. I like that idea.

I'm still not caught up on the details, what time does it start and where are we meeting?

WE did stray from the original plan ,but Its not like THe OFFICIAL M & G in Kensington park (Detriot)....
Lets just have a GOOD time !!!!!!

Gemmen's is not a big deal ,kind of dead there anyway....

All I know is ,we better end up at DAWG'S in G.R. kinda
early if we want to park togther ,cause it packs up fast,and I particlarly don't want to park in thr " RICE " field !!

[Meet up at the Muskegon/ Spring Lake Craig's Cruisers on 1551 Pontaluna and US 31, meet @ 2pm till 5 pm.

Leave for cruise thru Grand Haven and Lake Shore Dr. @ 5pm. :lol::lol::lol:

Three options for the end.
1. Hang out at Tony's (Pizza Man's)
2. Continue to cruise to Gemmens in Hudsonville, 6 to 8 pm.
3. Then continue on to Dawgs Dogs, 8 to ??? :razz:

Those East Siders heading back Saturday night, can jump on I-696 to I-96 and head home, very easily from any one location. :lol:]

Here's what I suggest for those of us who want to fit the reception into the festivities:

1) After Craig's Cruisers, head to the reception 5:30-7 or so.
2) Cruise Lakeshore , skip Gemmen's.
3) Dog Dawg's is a must for me! I'll end up there from 9-ish til whenever...(2AM like last week?) :lol:

We need to have a goto person here i.e. someone to help keep things in line so people don't get confussed or lost.

I belive Tony started this so he should be the goto guy and have someone to help keep things in line for some kind of order.

If there is going to be a reception crew then some one need to be incharge of that and we need someone to head up the cruise part so there is someone to follow.

The agreed on end spot is Dawg Dogs right?

It's getting confusing and we need to keep some type of order.
Poll?

I agree with you Kyle so why not have Rusty organize the cruise portion. He seems to have a good plan in mind already.
