dude, i know where you can score some good clings........there is this guy in SE. he changes corners all the time, but he has a whole selection of clings, even the green ones. just drive around asking where you can score some clings, they will take care of you.

...and yeah, paul, is this a cling event?.....it was last year.

 

tick tock! Krut

 

What is this "cling" thing we're talkin' 'bout??

 

a little piece of flimsy plastic that denotes a certain amount of "power" to an event. usually these are the driving events. some people, ie Jen, use clings in place of window tints.

those waiters and waitress people out there might recognize it as flair, some people might recognize it as a flimsy piece of plastic, others might recognize it as just another little toy.

 

Haha..flair....reminds me of Office Space.

So these clings are just to say i.e. Jen is who we follow during events?

 

I need to talk to you about your TPS reports....

anyway, the time running out thing was more about disclosing the route and other information related to the event.

 

Actually they're like collecting T-shirts from every place you've been. Just a little momento of the drive.

As for Jen, I think she also collected stickers as a kid too...

 

*If* I/we do clings, it won't be ready in time for the event. I've got to find a place closer than Frederick, MD to get them done!! Frederick is just too far away.

Janelle said that she wanted to draw something up, I'll see if she still plans on doing that.

-Paul!

 

Hey Paul!,

Bonnie and Trey are in. It's been a while since we have attended an event. I'm looking forward to it.

I hope it's not to late

 

See you Sunday!

I'm new to NAM and considering joining DCMM. I would like to make this my first event, but I have a prior commitment that morning. So, does anyone have an idea what time you will be arriving at the A&W. I could possibly meet up with everyone at the end point and introduce Oswald (and myself too).

 

It depends on when we finish eating, how fast we drive, how lost we get ( ), etc., but I would guesstimate between 2 and 3 PM. If you want, you can give me a call at 571-594-3355 in the early afternoon to get a better estimate of what time we'll arrive. I'll also post the exact location of the A&W tonight!

-Paul!

 

Update!

The restaurant has finally been decided on! It will be Thursday's Bar & Grill in North Beach, MD. (Website) I will upload a menu later on tonight / tomorrow. The food is American, leaning a bit towards seafood. Everyone should find something they like, though! The prices range from a few bucks for a sandwhich platter to $20+ for a full 'surf & turf' meal.

Due to the restaurant size though (we will be taking over most of the only dining room!), I'm actually going to have to stick to the RSVP date, and I cannot accept any more RSVP's. I hate to do this, but the group is getting too large! :smile: I will compile a RSVP list from emails and this thread tonight and post it in the top post. If there's any mistakes, just PM me or shoot an email over to events@dcmetrominis.org.

Can't wait 'til Sunday!

-Paul!

PS - Look for a full top post update later tonight!

 

Clings decorate your car and are a testament to where you have been and where you might go in the future. I am fond of them, as you will see if you ever see my MINI.

You can follow me during events if you like, although I tend to sweep so no one is supposed to be behind me. We follow the event leader or route planner.

For the record, never collected stickers as I kid. Probably collected everything else.

Isabelle is usually so grossly dirty that people can look at the clings on the window and not noticed the grime.

 

the north beach or galesville location? (just trying to get an idea of the length of drive back to the house)


edit: well actually, i guess that is the lunch....where is this A&W place.....??


(i have company arriving, and i might need to leave early)

 

It ends at the A&W (Giant is across the street) where 301 intersects 4, just outside of Upper Marlboro. You led an impromptu event from the Giant once. And as you figured out, It's the North Beach location! :smile:

-Paul!

 

Went out yesterday and purchased a Motorola GMRS 2-way radio. It's charging now, so by Sunday I will be set See y'all on Sunday!

 

Ok, posted the RSVP list above. Check it over and send me a note if there's any corrections. Also, today I did a final test of the route, and it's all looking good! I was hoping to be able to type it up and post it tonight, but it's late, and I'm tired! I'll have it up tomorrow!

Also made a correction to the McDonalds directions, and added how to get there from the Annapolis area.

-Paul!

 

We are going to Annapolis thru Rt50E and drive to McD's via Bowie (4th of July mini run)

Will be at Saturn's @ 7:30 am, will not wait for anyone but will have our radios on (7 -21)


MD STREGA2
DC STELLA

 

Weeeee!!! I'll be there @ 7:30!

 

I may actually be listed on there twice as there is a "Matt L." and a "Matt (CmdrVimes)". Unless Matt L. == MNEEME

 

I think I am going to try to go home early today and wash Isabelle. At least get the dirt enough off the windscreen that I can see.

Paul, dropped you a note. Michael and I will both be there on Sunday. Two MINIs.

Anyone else coming up for crabs tomorrow? I updated the post below with the reservation information and directions. They have about a dozen people from NEMINI coming down. So far it looks like me, Paddy and Matt are going.

 

Yup, you were! Fixed.

And added Michael, and +1 for Will.

-Paul!

 

Ok all the route sheet is here !! The top post is also updated. This should be the last update before the route tomorrow!

See you all soon!

-Paul!

 

ok, everything that could go wrong with my schedule has happened, sry, all, i will not be able to make. have fun.
