sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

[Evil Jeff]

Possibly me +1. I'll know fo sho once we get a bit closer. Other than NEFR, I didn't hit anything even resembling a Subaru meet in all of '09, so I'd like to make this one.

[Joe]

You failed because you had to post, to ask if you should post. :lol:

Definitely do it up!!!

list has been updated.

[Seraphinwolf]

I'm putting you on the list :unamused::lol: Mr. no-shower!

I no-show'd twice! TWICE! Unlike you who has done it plenty of times.

[middleG622]

i'm there, maybe +1

So I guess if I don't sign on for a few days I become a "maybe +1"

Fixed :)

[Evil Jeff]

Definitely do it up!!!

I'll see what I can do. I was actually supposed to be getting back from a week-long Blackberry training in Boston on the 12th, which would have definitely put a damper on this for me. But I just found out today it's been cancelled. :unamused:

So, this would be a nice pick-me-up.

[Joe]

:rofl:

nice edit!

[axis]

Should be down for it...Jess too. It depends on weather or not I get tix for a concert on the 14th. So I guess that's a maybe.

[Bu11dogg2]

[Kati]

Mr. no-shower!

That says no SHOWER! :rofl: P-U

[-=Lobstah=-]

[Bu11dogg2]

I might show up at that one...


schweeeeet!

[jessickascarling]

mmmmmm bbq. i love meat :devil: :lol: i don't think we're going to that show were thinking about on the 14th now so this is looking like more of a possibility. besides, i wanna go to llbean :D

[Joe]

Bump! was gone all weekend, but good to see the list getting bigger!

[Bu11dogg2]

I'm sure we'll get some Mainely folks that don't post here :lol:

[inski]

[subarude]

[Bu11dogg2]

You coming to this one Oscar?

[Bu11dogg2]

[Joe]

Haven't seen him post in a few days :(


I know, its weird not to wake up and find a Oscar thread to make me chuckle.

[axis]

[Bu11dogg2]

:lol:

[Joe]

This is getting closer! plan on giving them a call this weekend and letting them know what size group is going. If your not on the list, post up or PM me!

[Bu11dogg2]

yeah, hopefully we don't have a bunch of random folks showing up :)

Not that it's a bad thing, but it does make seating tricky

[subarude]

you going gabe? is freeport better then lewiston ;)
ya i will be there and yes the food is better then lewistons

[Evil Jeff]

As of right now, I plan on being there, with the missus as well.

[Joe]

As of right now, I plan on being there, with the missus as well.

Awesome! list is updated.

[subarude]

bumpin up come on let see some more interest :D please

[LostinMaine]

guess im down, ill call oz tomorrow to see whats up but he has been hard to get a hold of lately

[inski]

I'm a definite maybe... (me+ 2 or 3)

Pros:
*weekend, I wont be all uncomfortably greasy from work. Yes, I am "The" Hawaiian Tropic Lube boy.
*I'll be stir crazy by then and I'll have to get out.
*Wife wants to try that place anyways.
*Scooby peoples united.

Cons:
*Wife doesn't like groups of people.
*I've already planned an activity for me and the boys that day. If its above 23 degrees we're going to NH.
*I possibly could have a crappy paycheck and not have the funds to go out.

[MikeyMeyagi]

Greg and I will probably go.

[Joe]

Awesome guys! I will be calling them today and letting them know to expect us!

[Joe]

Okay guys, I just talked to the owner and he would prefer a 2pm arrival for us. The good thing, is that at that time we will have access to the downstairs area so we can all sit together, eat together, and have access to some pool tables. All this at NO charge to us! So I adjusted the time on the front page and I hope this still works for everyone. He also said we could have use of that room til about 4pm, then he has to set up for an event.

2 hours should be enough time, I'd think. And I like the idea of the earlier time, too, not that 4 was late or anything.

That is what I was thinking, plus no worrying about seating arrangements. And we wont disturb the other guests. :lol:

[Bu11dogg2]

Little earlier than we hoped.

Sounds like the manager doesn't want a busy night.

[Joe]

Little earlier than we hoped.

Sounds like the manager doesn't want a busy night.

The issue is he has an event going on that night, so we wouldnt be able to use the downstairs later.

[Bu11dogg2]

:lol: classic excuse

[Joe]

:lol: classic excuse

maybe, but Itll be nice to have our own spot for the meet, like the Ledgends one!

[jwebsta32]

Oh a meet time that won't make Joe leave early

[Joe]

Oh a meet time that won't make Joe leave early

I left legends at like 10:30 PM!!!!! and you are still giving me grief..... :lol:

[jwebsta32]

Like 1030 being like 915

[Joe]

Like 1030 being like 915

You were half in the bag when i left, trying to spell your own name on a mug, how would you know? :lol:

[jwebsta32]

Let's wait for Gabe to chime in he was sober

[RCKSTR]

Let's wait for Gabe to chime in he was sober

I was sober... and I didn't leave till last call :lol:

[jwebsta32]

Is the bbq as good here as it was at Mojos?

[Bu11dogg2]

I hope it' better, Mojo's hasn't been good lately

[subarude]

ya they are pretty good

[subarude]

I left legends at like 10:30 PM!!!!! and you are still giving me grief..... :lol:
i thought you left at like 8:30 :D

[Seraphinwolf]

Gggrrrr... Not getting here quick enough!!!

[Seraphinwolf]

2 hours should be enough time, I'd think. And I like the idea of the earlier time, too, not that 4 was late or anything.

Earlier sounds good to me too! So long as I make sure to set my alarm to wake me up!
Dan do you think I should see about being +1 on this? :D

[Joe]

watch it there mister, them be fighting words... :lol:

Dan do you think I should see about being +1 on this? :D

I am glad the earlier time is being recieved well. I know its earlier then most, but It gives us time to see our cars in daylight, something very rare at most winter meets.

[middleG622]

I hope it' better, Mojo's hasn't been good lately

Lately? You haven't been back since you purposely overate there.

[Joe]

Lately? You haven't been back since you purposely overate there.

I remember that night; best and worst decision all rolled into one... :lol:

inski +1 or 2. The boys with the Subaru toys might come with me.

[subarude]

[Kati]

oh man, it's Prom Night Do-Over that night! I think you get all dressed up like it's your prom and rock out to 80s music! LOL!

I saw this Buck's review with pictures from some girl: Review (http://www.mainetoday.com/barguide/040983.html)

Popped collars for everyone! Seroiusly though, I don't know about this.:unamused:

I don't think I'm the one you should be asking ;p

Last I remember she's "let me see and let you know" LOL I'll double check later today or tomorrow.

[inski]

I aint going if the "theme" is other than SUbarus.


inski's thoughts on the 80s:
- mini skirts and short shorts with butt cheeks bustin out from under them.
- guys wore jeans pulled up OVER their ass.
- lots of cleavage, no bras.
- every rock song was about sex.
- cars were horrible, except my Brat.

The prom thing is later that night, the reason why we are starting this thing earlier. You guys are allowed to show up in your normal garb. way to go kati, confusing everyone. :lol:

[Kati]

haha, I'm sorry, I just thought it was funny that they are holding it. I can't imagine all these 20, 30 and 40 year olds walking in in tuxes and prom dresses! LMMFAO!

[sidenote since ya'll locked the other thread: Gabe and I tried the Waterville place I mentioned, and it was soooo good. I got angel hair pasta eggplant parmasan for $10.99, and ate a bit there, the leftovers were enough for 2 more servings after that. Gabe got the spaghetti and meatballs in meatsauce for $8.99. We had a huge slice of cheesecake with strawberry sauce for $4.99. They brought out bread and a garlic and seasoned oil. The atmosphere was great, and parking would be cool there. I feel weird talking about this in here, but wanted to let you all know about Cacciatori's Italian Steakhouse.]

I think inski needs a hug!

[urabusturbo]

I thought i was working this day but I'm not! I'm planning on going with my gf. Not sure which suibie to bring :cool:

[rallykat158]

[Joe]

OP updated!!! this should be a good-size meet!

[Bu11dogg2]

Ohh, I'm in it. Told work today not to count on me showing up this Saturday...or next Saturday for that fact. I may be losing much money out of the deal but at least I've still retained my sanity.

Gabe, Jess still want to take a look at that shift knob. Can you bring it with ya to the meet?:)

[Seraphinwolf]

Yeah well Dan better show! I'm counting on convoying with him and Jess. Either behind them or them behind me.
And Hell yeah on the cool kids on the attending list Kati! :up: Just Reid your huby to load up the parts so I can give you two moneyz! ;) Talk his budy with the OBS into coming too if you can!

Just a reminder to the Mainely members reading this, we would appreciate a "heads up" if you're coming so that we can seat accordingly.

Don't be suprised if you show up unannounced and there is no place to sit ;)

Just a reminder! we are going inside to eat at 2, so plan accordingly. I will be there a bit earlier, just to hang out outside and kick some tires! They just called today to confirm, so we are all set there. Afterwards i think i am going to head over to the LL Bean outlet and check it out.

Yeah, Jess has a pair off LL Bean slippers that crapped out on her a while ago so we need to head over there to swap 'em out.

Thanks office job president. We have scheduled outages that I have to deal with some times

[Kati]

I am super duper excited for this!!!!! I'll be coming from my 2nd day at my new job!! <3

[Seraphinwolf]

I"m in the process of doing everything I can to make this. After work yesterday morning I went to the gym. Leaving the gym car was fine. Get to destination one.... powersteering is acting iffy.... MORE iffy on the drive home with stopping and picking up Lucas PS stop leak to at least top of the resevoir. Worse and worse whole way home. Too tired from 12hr shift plus work I got to sleep and plan to get at it.
Wake up later and procrastinate too long but finally get everything jacked up and get under the car and such at like midnight. Can't isolate the leak. Top off and let it set just incase it needed to sit longer. Few hours later put sheet of cardboard under it to see where it's starting. Fire up the car and turn the wheel a few times. Turn off and check. Soft line crimp.... :unamused: It be bubbling out of it. Warming myself back up. I'll go back out and try to seal it off temp to at least catch a ride the rest of the way.

[middleG622]

Bummer. Good luck :)

[Bu11dogg2]

4 more hours!

[axis]

Bummer. Good luck :)


Gaddis is hitching a ride with Jess and I. We're trying to decide which Suby to take; if we take the STi then it'll be a funner ride up there but the people in the back will have to tend with a harness bar. Or take the LGT and have a comfy ride up with less fun. Decisions, decisions.:)

[MikeyMeyagi]

im gonna be +3 on this one, bringing 3 girls :)

[-=Lobstah=-]

dang it. doesn't look like i'm gonna make this one.
I'm broke and i wont get home until almost 4 pm.
Have fun ...

[middleG622]

Good to see everyone!

Just finished my yummy leftovers :)

[Joe]

Very nice meet! Had about 25 people show and it was a balmy 40 degrees. :lol: food was delicous too!

[Bu11dogg2]

Mmmmm it was excellent

[Kati]

Mmmmm it was excellent

ohhhh wassss itttt?

It was fine. The meet (not meat) was the best part. I can't believe they put ONE new girl to handle all of us! That was truly obsurd. The cooks weren't on the ball (including someone asking for a hotdog with no bun, they saw it- PUT the hotdog on the bun, it was returned to them- THEY TOOK THE BUN AWAY AND BROUGHT IT RIGHT BACK DOWNSTAIRS! :eek:
The Owner said the cooks were lazy today... obviously.

[abenson100]

well i enjoyed my food and conversations. here is a few pics i took after the food part.

oh i didnt get any pics of the cars up the other end.

Thanks Kati for taking care of us at the table! I think we should've given you the gratuity, not the waitress, haha. The food was sub-par, or at least I thought so. Pulled pork was dry and my beer tasted like the sponge you find under the kitchen sink, lol. Food aside, you folks are always awesome and it's always a pleasure to hang out with such a good croud. Oh, and thank you Gabe for bringing your knobs for Jess to choose from, but I think I should've gotten the i-trader since I had to buy it. LOL!

and of course, it's not a trip to freeport without going to LL Bean!!! :D now i know where it is... and next time, we WILL find the coach store :devil:

hey that car looks familiar:lol: If anyone donates a n.e.s sticker to me I will gladly replace that one.
Had a great time at the meet, the food was good but I agree the service was pretty bad. My girlfriend didn't get her food until about ten minutes after everyone else at our table, plus they got my sides wrong:unamused:.

[subarude]

did you finally get the shift knob on axis?

[Kati]

I'm not surprised that there weren't any photos taken of the upper end where our car was (I'm not being mean- LOL), it always happens that way. Sometimes I'd see someone snapping like a million photos of our car, yet none surface the web. I am beginning to think that when pictures are taken of it, it disappears, LOL.

I loved our company at our table, and it was so good to see everyone else. I don't know why we all didn't mingle more- or play pool, I mean TWO pool tables sat there all alone... how weird. They even have RockBand and stuff and no one took advantage of it.

Urabus I am so sorry things were messed up on your end, they weren't very smooth on ours either. Like I said, they blamed everything on the cooks that didn't want to be there.

Jess your hair was super cute! And had we not had to run out of state, I would have totally went over there with you and given you a tour. They even have a Dooney and Burke outlet with super cheap clearanced bags (I don't particularly like their bags, but it's still fun to go in there). I've only been to Freeport 2 or 3 times ever.

Axis and Jess, thanks for the kind words. I just hate when we dump money into a not-so-cheap establishment, and don't get A+ service.

I read that Gaddis' stomach got upset. I'm grateful to feel just fine after finally eating my meal. The woman holding it kept calling it "pulled pork" and I told her I had "brisket" and she kept saying "it looks like pulled pork", she probably said that while holding it in her hands for 4 minutes while I kept telling her it was my plate, then she SCREAMS out, "I have a BEEF BRISKET!!" NO ****! I told her that like 87 times that that's what it was, and that it was mine, duhhhhhh.

Nope. We've been balls deep in v-day crap today. Maybe tomorrow.

Well, I showed up too, didn't stay though :unamused:. After getting turned around, I finally found the place and got there at about 2:10, went inside , and the hostess directed me downstairs. There were probably 16 or so people engrossed in conversation, not knowing a soul, and not seeing anyone welcoming NEW attendees. (silly me), I walked over to a group of people talking and barely got anyone to make eye contact, let alone ask if they could help, or welcome NEW attendees and make introductions, don't know if maybe you thought I was the janitor or something, being the oldest one there at the time.:iam: So I left. Being new to one of these meets, I'm sure being early and seeing people in the parking lot first might have made a difference. I would like to think age wouldn't matter, (a Suby enthusiast is a Suby enthusiast at any age) Maybe I'll try again at a location a little closer. But, I would like to offer some advice, (unasked for, but here goes) If these meets are truly open to all, (regulars and new members) may I suggest having a table near where people will be entering, and have a greeter, to represent the club, and make introductions. That way, anyone, young, old, a regular, or a first time attendee will feel welcome and not like a third wheel.;)

That's a bummer, sorry noone asked if you were a Suby owner. Sometimes it helps to have something like a hat or hoodie or shirt that says Subaru on it. We don't discriminate by any means. Everyone and everyone is always welcome. Hope to see you at the next meet Buck.

srry to hear about this situation. hope this doesnt discourage you from attending again.

Jess your hair was super cute! And had we not had to run out of state, I would have totally went over there with you and given you a tour. They even have a Dooney and Burke outlet with super cheap clearanced bags (I don't particularly like their bags, but it's still fun to go in there). I've only been to Freeport 2 or 3 times ever.

Axis and Jess, thanks for the kind words. I just hate when we dump money into a not-so-cheap establishment, and don't get A+ service.

Thanks!!!!! Dan likes it when I do my hair like that so I'm glad it looks good!!! Next time we have a meet up there, we'll totally have to check out some of the other stores. Dan's sister & I are going to plan another trip back up just to shop! :devil:

Next time, Introduce yourself to someone ;)

There was a lot of people, and a lot going on.

Had I known you were there for the meet I woudl made a seat for you at my table :)

+1 we let Gabe sit with us and he's REALLY old

[jessickascarling]

And you're just old :lol:

[Bu11dogg2]

And you're just old :lol:


I'm the same age as Axis :lol:

[jessickascarling]

I'm the same age as Axis :lol:

Wait, I think he's older :rofl:

[axis]

Wait, I think he's older :rofl:

Yeah, apparently I'm the definition of old.:unamused: But I'm still rocking at the ripe ole age of 33.:cool:

[Bu11dogg2]

you got 4 years on me :lol:

[Buck_Rogers]

I haven't given up hope, like I said, I will try again, hopefully someplace a little closer (Waterville/Augusta area would be nice). It wasn't really a wasted trip either, it was a great day for a highway cruise in the Baja, as my work weeks usually consist of many short trips to client sites. I still think a greeter representing the club would be a much more welcoming touch. And as for old, well, I probably take the cake at 50 +, you have to grow old, but you don't have to grow up :lol:

Hey that car looks familiar:lol: If anyone donates a n.e.s sticker to me I will gladly replace that one.

Hey!!!! I like it, and think it should stay.

Sorry I didn't make it. I ended up working too late. Luckily I get a chance to make it to Maine meets once a month regardless. ;)

Maybe I'll see you at a future meet, and we can talk about the old days, you know, like the 70s & 80s :lol:
