Why not Kansas City. Or the suurounding metro area? Like Overland Park KS.

[SQ_Only]

So... You're volunteering to set everything up, regardless of these three locations?

[rekd0514]

I love how everyone just wants it to be right in there city.

[durwood]

I can organize a Chicago suburbs or a St Louis meet, but I want to see that people are willing to commit to come.

Next Sunday is a meet at Busse Woods in Schaumburg, IL. Come on out.

I can have someone help organize a st. louis meet, but it won't be until sometime in July.

[benny z]

bloomington is 1/2 way between the other two, so that's what i voted.

oh, and i happen to live there, too. :p

I don't care where the F you have it I'm coming! Chicago might be a bit of a drive for me but; I'll find a way.

That's the attitude! :)

Please don't vote St Louis...Please don't vote St Louis.....Please don't vote St Louis :(:p

July 12 & 13
July 19 & 20

I'm really open though except for anything in early june.

[unpredictableacts]

Branson, Mo?

[Thumper26]

I voted Bloomington. I have family in Champaign, so I could make the drive up. Chicago is too far north for me, and the traffic sucks.

[havok20222]

Branson, Mo?

Brandon, MO has a lake and a water park. I assure you that you guys don't want to give me any more reason to take my shirt off than you have too. It's better for everyone. :p

...and plenty of cheap hotels/motels....all in one area.

[bld 25]

STL for me would work best. Chi-town might be possible, but prob not with gas prices.

[dirthog]

I think Rockford would be better than Chicago, easier to get around. All I really know is we need to get this setup. I'd like to hear other peoples cars.

[rekd0514]

We need someone to set the thing up or it is never going to happen. We need someone in the area to volunteer, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

[SQ_Only]

Loudtaco already volunteered. Isn't this almost done now?

[audiovibe]

If yall don't mind a fourm lurker coming I voted for Chicago with all dates open.
Aron

[dsg74]

Any more updates?

[benny z]

woot! let's do dis!

[durwood]

Ok, I'll make this real easy (at least for IL people). I'm extending this invite to the DIYMA community. If you have any questions contact me via PM or email and I'll make sure we can stay in touch as the date gets closer. Food, shade, bathrooms, plenty of parking, lots of DIY type hobbyists.

Sunday, July 27th, 2008, 11AM at Busse Woods

Location Details:
Busse Woods Grove 18, off Higgins Road in Schaumburg, IL. There's easy access from both 90 and 290. For those with GPS: 42° 1'50.46"N 88° 1'45.16"W. For everyone else, google maps. We seem to be drifting further and further into the forest preserve, so just keep an eye out for us.

About the Meets:
For those unfamiliar with the Chicago meets, everyone welcome, regardless of whether you have a system installed or not. It's a chance to show up and shoot the **** with car pc enthusiasts. A chance to check out one another's installs, bounce ideas off each other, you get the idea. Busse Woods is a forest preserve, so we're outside without shelter, so plan accordingly. PCFreak generally graciously provides us with a grill, and everyone generally shows up with random food related items. If you have a taste for something, grilled or otherwise, bring it along, otherwise just show up. We're generally there from 11 until they kick us out at dusk, so come when you can and leave when you have to.

[audiovibe]

Thats to easy, I was already going to that meet.

Aron has the best brats around. :p (Ok ok so they are store bought, but he is the brat master)

So I take it no one in the midwest REALLY wants to meet up? Lots of chatter but no follow through? :(

[benny z]

i am still up for meeting anyone in central illinois. chad, hoot, and a few others are local to this area.

[dirthog]

I would love to meet up with others still. After using the free pc measurement my system has never sounded so good and I'd like to listen to other sq cars.

I might just join you durwood. Thanks for the offer.

[rekd0514]

I would go, but I am pretty sure I will be gone that weekend. Not to mention it would be a long haul for me.

[dbphelps]

Well, I may just be able to make the 27th... As long as the damn weather holds out...

[durwood]

Friendly reminder bump.

[durwood]

Mid 80's and scattered storms for this sunday. Sorry can't control the weather but what do those people know anyway.:rolleyes:

Contact me if you need to know what to look for. It's a park and we don't really put up signs.

[chad]

Just got home from vacation an hour ago or I'd be there. Maybe the next one, how often are they again? We could assemble a central IL crew and caravan :D the crew is growing ;)
