Triangle M2C2 Dec 16th Meeting w/drive thru Celebration of Lights

Hi everyone,
I thought for this month's meeting we would have a dinner and a drive through the Chick-Fil-A Alltel Pavilion Celebration of Lights.
It's a 2 mile drive around the Alltel Pavilion with 200 displays with 600000+ lights.

Admission is normally $15, but there is an online coupon to get $5 off.
Coupon Link
If you can't get to online coupon they are available at Chick-Fil-A.

Bring a car load of people to get your money's worth.

Dinner:
Dec 16, 6:30pm @ Ruby Tuesday in Crossroads
(easy access to I-40 east for drive)

Chris,

I'd like to go, but I may pass since I'm on hold for a new MINI...I think my Toyota would stick out like a sore thumb!

It'll take a bit to save up for it, but I'm all going for it! Gonna be Hyper Blue, providing they still offer that color! Long story as to why I don't have the black one anymore.

If you want, I'll PM you the details.

Hi Michelle,
You have to tell us the story sometime... (afraid too ask )

Ofcourse you can still come for the meeting and we'll leave your ToyoMINI at the restaurant for the drive. You can ride in another MINI I'm sure. Mine may be full, but if not you're are welcome to ride.

Chris

Rock on! Now all we would need is some killer Christmas music! For some unknown reason, I don't think that the bands we listen to have Christmas CDs out!

Thanks! I'll see you then, well on Saturday too!

I assume that the celebration of lights drive-thru was reschedule due to the weather this past Thursday? Are we now talking about Thursday, 12/16/04 at 6:30 at the Crossroads Ruby Tuesday?

Yes, we are meeting at Ruby Tuesdays in Crossroads, Thursday, Dec 16th @ 6:30pm.

It should be a nice cold/clear evening.

I'm thinking of decorating the MINI for the drive. A few lights around the roof and some garland ought to finish it off.


BTW: The Triangle Area M2C2 meetings have always been on the 3rd Thursday of each month for 2004. Next year, I think we have majority agreement to hold meetings on 3rd Sunday.
