    Also, lets start a list of who is bringing what so we can prepare. Anyone have a portable grill, canopy, etc... please post up. We definitely need these things.



    List of who is bringing what:

    Sparta - Grill
    Blaze - plates, paper towels, and utensils
    King - tent/possibly food
    Unidub - tent

    crazyazn - cokes/water, chips, burger buns, extra yuengling
    J_P - some burgers



    Tent Spot:
    For anyone meeting us there, I'm assuming we'll try to be in the same spot as last year.

    To the right of infield tunnel, near turn 10. back row near the fork. Should be able to park along the road there too if we're lucky.

    I have an easy up if someone wants to come grab it. I am still undecided on whether I am going or not, however, if I do, I will hopefully be riding a new bike there, so I won't be able to transport the easy up anyways.

    I also have a portable camping grill that someone can grab if they are so inclined.

    I live in Alpharetta if there is anybody from the area that wants to stop by sometime before the event to grab stuff.

    PS I should also still have the WRXatlanta banner to attach to the easy up to advertise our presence.

    I've got a huuuge tent setup if you all need to use it. 10' x 20' if memory serves. I think I may actually be able to go to this one.
     
  10. Hey Alex, if you go let me know so I can pull some cash out and pay you for the shift boot.

    Some of us will be bringing coolers/food. Judging by the light interest in people posting to bring stuff, I wouldn't expect to show up and get a burger. (Although I may just bring a huge package of hotdogs in case we run out).

    Trust me, there are a lot of people going to this that haven't posted on this thread and will be hanging out. Feel free to join and post up that you'll bring some extra burgers/chips/buns/plates/beer. Many of us will be there all day long, I'll try to to post a pic of the area we'll be at.


    Alex, do you think you'll be there? If not I can pick up the tent sometime this week.

    ^^ sounds like you should come out to some of the dinner meets!

    But in all honesty I know a few people here and there, and I forget just about everyone's name.

    I guess I'll try to get some momentum going again with what ppl are bringing since I'm doing a Costco run tonight after work:

    1. Cokes and bottled waters
    2.think i have some plates
    3. Chips
    4. i can get some hamburger buns if someones getting burgers (so someone shout out if you want this)
    5. think i've got a case of yuenling, if not i'll be buying it
     
  31. i called dibs on plates already =p lol check the OP post i think it says what people are bringing and has been updated.
