I'm thinking we should have a good old fashioned mazda meet featuring grilling, beer in public, and old fashioned hangin out. I would bring my trusty gas weber grill and we would rock out with hamburgers and bratwurst.

I vote saturday so I have a day for R/R - cure any hangover that may ensue.

 

[mndsm]

Here's an idea...... BE SOBER!

 

[mazdamn02]

Here's an idea...... BE SOBER!

Worst idea ever! :ban:

 

[JustROLLIN]

Worst idea ever! :ban:

Done and done...:beerfunnel2:

 

[mndsm]

Hey man, no drinks, no hangovers. Sounds pretty effin good to me.

 

[JustROLLIN]

Yeah, the majority of the time, I would agree. But, when I have weekends off, I tend to get a lil wild....woohoo!

 

[MazdaMINI]

Also if you go to the store and buy this stuff called Vitamin Water in the purple bottle called revive I hear its a miracle for hangovers!

 

[Nekko Noir]

Amen to Vitamin Water!

I vote Sunday, but Saturday might be better since that'll give everyone Sunday to recuperate. Hehehe~

 

[mazdamn02]

Its looking like Saturday is winning by a landslide! Does any one know of a good spot to do this damn thang?

 

[mndsm]

Josh's apt. There be room for RC cars!

 

[mazdamn02]

LOL, if there's more then 5 people my apartment is out...

 

[MazdaMINI]

Um maybe somewhere by a river or lake? Since we are land of 10.000 lakes.

 

[mndsm]

Screw it. Hijack the picnic tables from the asians, close the pool off to only us, and lets have at it!

 

[JustROLLIN]

We could always hit one of the MANY parks around the cities. Lake calhoun is always a blast, otherwise there are plenty others with better parking and far less people...

Como park always seems to be a winner, unless it's raining and there's a wedding reception going on.

 

[DrWebster]

Como park FTW!

 

[MazdaMINI]

you will run into a wedding for sure if you go como park on a saturday!!! FOR SURE!

 

[JustROLLIN]

I think we came to the decision of Coon Rapids Dam... its a large regional park with a ton of different shelters and areas for parking, recreation, grilling, and general tom foolery.

 

[mndsm]

General tomfoolery? That's about right. Do they have an easy escape route in case something *accidentally* gets set on fire?
