WOAH... WOAH... WOAH... WOAH... W-O-A-H!
I have just read this thread from start... to finish... at work... hiding from my Lieutenant... waiting for lunch... hungry as hell... occasionally shaking my fist at the monitor... laughing... and pouting!
I would just like to say... I am coming to this meet, regardless to whether it's officially sanctioned/sponsored/organized or not! This is probably my first time getting involved in any thread in the lounge (I'm not a lounge type of guy), but I promise, you will see more of me!
Anyway, as I was saying, I have made up my mind, based upon the happenings in this thread, I will BE in Chi-Town Memorial day weekend, to HAVE SOME FUN WITH PEOPLE I CAN PERCEPTIBLY RELATE WITH! Not to look at cars all day, (though I would like to take some pics and peeks), not to race my car against other eight owners, (though I do like the more than occasional adrenaline rush), and not to try to decide which is better/OBSOLETE, the 7 or the 8! (Loving Jab
)
Reasons I'd like to go:
My birthday is May 17! (So... I can spend quality, respectable time w/my family on that day, and get extra plastered/slizzard for memorial day weekend:D)
I've been to Chicago, for less than a day, 2x (one more reason to stay over night)
I love model Railroads, (the exhibit at the Museum BLEW MY MIND, a perfect excuse to leave home, spend some money, and see it again)
For some odd reason I just love driving under the entire length of the L Downtown!
My best friend's, twin sister moved to Chicago a couple of years back, and is, if I recall correctly, a big wig at the Renaissance hotel, so I MAY be able to pull some strings for the group!
I have only met one other 8 owner, very briefly: in person, in my home town, while driving! (I have got to meet some of you guys/gals!)
I think I may be the "token" 8 owner! (yes, that is a satirical jab at a reference in a post made earlier on this thread, to prove that jokes are like traffic on a six lane highway... Everyone is fine until someone loses control, then it can be downright ugly... So PLEASE, be careful... and watch your blind spots!)
So in summation, post the list of potential attendees, and add me to it!
P.S. I can't say it enough, "I love this Web Site about as much as I love my car!"

Here's the bottom line, those events that get their own sections have proven their capability to host and organize a successful car/social event. If this thing is really going to happen, you still have a lot to prove. in the Lounge means nothing. If you want a sticky as a way of promoting the event, it'll have to appear a lot more serious first. Right now it's just a handful of loungers BS'ing - no offense. And whether you like being part of an organized event or not, that's the only ones we can officially support with Stickies and subforums ... we have to weed out the posers.
Raz - I haven't banned anybody in as long as I can remember, even though I constantly get the "rise up against the Admin" attitude. I've been numb to it for a long time.

I have never been one to "rise up against the Admin", however I don't think I understand where your attitude about this event is coming from. This event is for the members regardless of our cars, as another member put it, and it is for us to meet each other. I think it's going to be fun and I'm sorry that the 8 forum is so unsupportive of its' members... It seems to me that the bend is from the admin towards the 7 owners or established rotary meetings...
You should be encouraging us to do more events and get more established since it's good advertising for you and your paid vendors. Trying to **** on our parade is doing the opposite and anyone with the least bit of marketing wisdom would know that. Don't forget why you're here in the first place or you may step on too many toes.
And proof of your support is through action not... let's see how did you put it? Oh yeah... "Idle chit chat... and ...B'sing - no offense..."

The sign up roster already looks national.
Surely the general disscussion forum?

Suggestion:
Once you've figured out which hotel you'll be using, call ahead and find out what their Memorial Day activity is like. Is that peak or off season? Once you've determined number of attendees, ask for a group discount and block of rooms. Enough notice and they can arrange rooms together along the same corridor. Don't forget a place for the banquet. Also keep in mind that if you share rooms, you'll cut your individual lodging in half. Four to a room and you'll quarter it. :D
