MCACN roll call!

[pettybird]

Could we sticky this please?

It's not Talladega but there are enough of us going that we should figure out the size of our pack and grab dinner somewhere.


I'll be coming with mom, and probably spending a day or so in the Chicago area--we have family in Lake Zurich. 

[hemigeno]

 

Wish I could make it.

[Ghoste]

A buddy and I are talking about it but I'm not going to commit to anything just yet.

[Aero426]

Will be there.   I had better get a room.

Yeah, yeah.   You are heading up for the fur convention.    Bummer, it's actually in December this year.    No furries.   

[maxwellwedge]

I'm there - I will be helping to judge the Mopars for vintage certification with Frank B. Maybe have a beer or two as well. See you all there.

What is MCACN again and where is it? Don't live with this acronym..

(quietly cancels travel plans)

[70EK2Bird]

Will be there with my bird somewhere in the Mopar Alley.   

[hemi68charger]

Chicago?! Dang it..........

[pettybird]

Chicago?! Dang it..........

It's worth it.  There's a club/local/driver car area but damn near every show car is a stupid rare blue chip car.

What's a ticket up for the day cost?

Are you thinking dinner on Saturday?
Undetermined if I'm going yet to spectate, but if I am Saturday has better potential...

[70Sbird]

i usually go up for the day on Saturday and am headed home by midafternoon. If there will be a dinner or something I'll hang around

Saturday is definitely the busier day at the show people wise.

[magnumauto]

I JUST finished doing the maps for the show.
Holy crap there is so much amazing stuff this year I can't even list it all!  Seriously. 

I will of course be running the Barn Finds / Hidden Gems area.  Please bring food and water, otherwise I might not make it out alive.

[held1823]

i read something about the lift that john's car was on causing a few anxious moments?

[69_500]

Do not recall John's car being on the lift. It was a Hemi Bird on the lift

[held1823]

ah, thanks for the update. not sure where i saw the comment (moparts?) mentioning the lift tilting unexpectedly.

[pettybird]

Pettybird I missed you today... R u going again Sunday?

Well you know the answer is no now.  Pretty dumb of us to not swap numbers ahead of time...

[TUFCAT]

Doug and Danny told me you were there. Next time we'll make better arrangements to meet up.

[maxwellwedge]

Great show! Good to see Doug, Doug, Danny and Mopar John.   
Congrats again on your Bird John - It is a sweet piece! 

[Mopar John]

Jim,
It was great to meet you in person at the show! I hold your praise in high regard due to the fact that you have a very fine original survivor to go by. Thanks for the parts, pictures and advice!
MJ

[Aero426]

Great show! Good to see Doug, Doug, Danny and Mopar John.  
Congrats again on your Bird John - It is a sweet piece!  

Likewise.   Nice to see everyone on Saturday.    Danny brought me a nice poster print of #7.    Pettybird brought me some surplus Porsche goodies.    Jim brought jokes about the Iraqi Information Minister. 

[TUFCAT]

That poster print was ultra cool!    You should take a photo and post it.

Good to see you as well Tuffy.   Will take a pic of Danny's print as soon as I can get it out of the trailer.  It is snowing like crazy at the moment.   Got home just after midnight and collapsed in a heap.     But I am glad it was only rain last night.    It would be a rough tow in the snow.   

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

One or two pictures here.

[maxwellwedge]

He is just plain awesome. 

[69_500]

Nice too see all of you guys this past Saturday. Highlight was meeting the Haldiman's. Glad you like the print Doug. I can email you the picture if you wanted to make more. I had that one made at a local Meijer for like $15.

[Aero426]

Danny,  I'd love to have a copy of the original image.   superbirdclub@yahoo

Wow, you guys really dodged a bullet this year!  FurFest is this weekend, and they had some trouble...

"Thousands of people were evacuated and 19 people were hospitalized...the incident happened around 12:40 a.m..."It was shocking," said Smejkal while standing outside the hotel dressed in a red panda animal suit.""



I hope Pettybird is OK

(cough cough cough)


By the way Dave...do you need a gathering of aero people any closer to your house to make an appearance?  How am I supposed to harass you if you stay home?

[TUFCAT]

Those furries are very mysterious.
