Please reply to the poll and let us know if you are planning to attend the meet this year. I know it's early, but this will help us as we do some planning.

Thanks!

I'm there, dude.:D

Where is it ? I would probably go if it's West of the Big Muddy.


I like your new avatar. It's cool.

Marysville, Ohio.....Just announced.:)

:-(

Sorry, I have other plans.

This misfit is planning on attending :-D

I'm a maybe so far ... seeing what I can pawn to pay for the travel!

Like you have to ask????

Of course!

um, yes. at this point it's a go...maybe through Kansas City or Chicago to snag a co-pilot? :rolleyes:

I'd love to but it's too far away for me.

um, yes. at this point it's a go...maybe through Kansas City or Chicago to snag a co-pilot? :rolleyes:

You can swing past Norfolk and convoy with us. :twisted:

I'm in. I've been waiting for this for a long time and can't wait. Need to do some more mods between now and then. So anyone coming through Indiana wanting to meet up at some point and time in Indy and drive over on I70E? We can make that happen as the date gets closer to meet somewhere, shoot some photos and convoy over. Just a thought. I'm right off of of I70 and the 90mm as well as I465 and the 37mm.

Had a great time at Marysville I and am looking forward to Marysville II. The "sprint" from the hotel to the Honda plant was especially memorable.

45000

Correction: Oops, never mind. My wife just reminded me that we are hosting a family reunion the following weekend and expecting about 60 guests. There's no way we'll make it. Rats.

You can swing past Norfolk and convoy with us. :twisted:

yeah, good idea RD, that's just on my way...details to come as the dates approach :-D

My wife and I will be there. Planing the trip now.

Close enough to make this trip. Might convoy over with Chozn....(maybe he can get us an ISP escort:-D). Have to attempt to switch some vacation time around cause this sounds better than what I had planned.(spend a few days at Mom's working on the sonny do list and being lazy) Hope I can work it out.

Tony

I'm in, I just called work and left a message to myself to take the time tomorrow in writing.
Details to work out, like getting a dog sitter.

Hey Gaily, what should we do camp/hotel/both.
???????????

You will be staying at the Official Hotel, you're not going to want to be camping away from everyone. If you're talking about for the drive itself... no need to stay anywhere, the drive should be only 12 or so hours for you. :)

This is exactly the announcement I was hoping for. We will be there and we're already discussing a caravan of E's from Cleveland.

Me and my wife are soooo there. i have been waiting for this for a long time:D:D:D

um, yes. at this point it's a go...maybe through Kansas City or Chicago to snag a co-pilot? :rolleyes:

Hey come through Rochester on I-90 and we can make it a car-E-van! :razz:

I voted maybe, but am leaning towards yes. Turns out I'm free that weekend.

Anyone want to join me for a long, lonely ride across the PA Turnpike? Mrs. fcz1 certainly doesn't want to.

um, yes. at this point it's a go...maybe through Kansas City or Chicago to snag a co-pilot? :rolleyes:

Smart money is on RD.

Okay I am making plans to attend, just discussed it with Mr. Jojo - looks like we'll have to miss a real boring convention we were suppose to attend (aw so sad)--gotta set up some vacations--I'll keep reading up on hotel/camping accomodations, would like to do both:)
It really would be FUN meeting all of YOU!:D

Smart money is on RD.

I'm not a looney. I am an extra-terrestrial being sent here to conquer your meager planet.

I'm probably going solo this trip but if the hotel accommodates pets I'll bring Miss Megan.

If the hotel accommodates pets, I think we'd be most of a boarding service there :razz:

If you're bringing Miss Megan, maybe I'll look into bringing Miss Cheyenne and we can have a wigglebutt festival too :D

you guys are going to force me to bring Boomer and/or Baxter aren't you?

Maybe it would be possible if we could find a decent boarding facility in the area. I just don't like the idea of leaving the 'boys' in the motel room... I can just see the cleaning people opening up the door and walking in on those two....

LMAO...great mental pic, the two dogs on the bed :D

That would be great if we could find a boarding place that could take the collective EOC dogs while we're out at stuff! Anybody in the area who can start calling around? That would be awesome if I could bring the pupper!

I was thinking of leaving Sam at home but if his buddies are coming....
We could put Bommer, Baxter, Atlas, and Sam in one room and watch the cleaning crew open the door.

Well the best part of the whole boarding thing would be that Mrs. Bh could come too. That would be great IMHO.

Who's up around that area that can do some leg work?? I will ask around in my rescue contacts, maybe someone would know...

A quick search found this

I will be there for sure. :)

No but it would be cool to form up the Kiwi's. I think, just guessing at this point, we (Hampton Roads area attendees) might head West and join up with the Mid-South folks heading North(?)

After the meet I'm planning a side trip to the Air Force museum at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton.

Hey, talk to me at the event. I might want to convoy. Last time I was there, I missed the XB-70 because it's in a different section now.

we're still a maybe too... it's not that far from this great Mitten but it's less then a month before our wedding so we'll have to see how vacation day's go. We already have a week planned for our honeymoon to Cozumel so I don't know if I'll be able to convince my daycare parents I need another day off!
~Mandy

We'll keep it at the top of our list though and hope that it work's out

Me, the Don and Chewy plan to be there.:D

I am working things out with T-mac about the Guinness Record. Be patient, I have to check with my job, new contracts working this year. When a FIRM date is set, will have an answer.

Can't wait for that weekend:D

Bob

No surgery planned for this year.
I am there.

I am a maybe. Depends on my work schedule. I still may register to get a t-shirt and other registration goodies.

Hope to see you there JSM00th! You planning to do a fly-by or are you going to pull a 36hr drive from LAX to Indy like I did a couple of years ago? Either way, hope you can make it. Talk to our friend Babylac89 about making it too.

Peace!

I would love to (used to live in Marysville for 5 years) but am on a bike tour that week/weekend.

Ohio is my home state.:) It's a maybe for now.

Kenny and I will most certainly be there. :cool:

I have seen the crash Photo's, flight Photo's, now I want to see It.

I'm hoping my wife and I can make it. Her brother lives in Polk, OH which is 125 miles or so away. Probably only bring one of our E pair though.:confused:

<sigh> Someday I'll work for a company that gives vacation time. :sad: As it is I'll have to work my butt off to get a week or two for the Rocky Mountain EOC Campin Fools Jamboree in August, so the Nationals is a no-go. :cry:

Take lots of photos and vids so the rest of us can live vicariously through your x-rated exploits!! :-D:-D

Can't wait!!! In the process of planning now!

Yes, we'll be there Saturday. I'm looking forward to showing off my husband's handy work with the new paint job he's in the process of finishing up this weekend. Poor thing is still at the shop tonight :rolleyes:

I'm in :).

I gotta see this, I'm there.. even if it is 1300 miles round trip.

I gotta see this, I'm there.. even if it is 1300 miles round trip.
Make sure you find me when you get there...My Mom lives in Fort Pierce...

Ill be there for sure, and Ill be bringing a legion of NE Ohio E's with me! I already have hotel suites booked!! Cant wait

I already have hotel suites booked!! Cant wait

We haven't even announced the hotel we'll be staying in yet (that will be today) and we'll have group rates. Are you going to join us? There's nothing like taking over most, if not all, of a huge parking lot with Elements. :)

I would have been so there but.....this is the weekend of my Ironman race in Idaho....


Hope ya'll have a great time!
Paul

I guess you'd better plan on seeing me there. I'll probably get too much grief from my NE Misfit buds if I don't show! Perhaps there shall also be proof of what's (who's) been keeping me away from the boards. ;-)

And keeping you away from a good bar crawl! I'm still disappointed in you :razz:

I will make it this year and will do my best to make up for not making last years meet. I just might need a DD during the 3 days there though. LOL

Bought time you chimed in! Gonna join the convoy out? We have a HUGE Northeast group attending.

Well ,if Kenny can make the trip, sign me up.:razz:

So Carly, did you already speak with the hotel and arrange to be next to Justin's. And does that mean when the parking lot party, visiting the pool after hours party, the Atrium party and the elevator party are all over with we all should head to your room?:-o

Number please.....

Yeah, that's what I say......it was my room in NH and I'm off the hook. And since I'm sharing with Gaily, she's off the hook.

That leaves you guys:razz::razz:

Just booked my room at the EOC official hotel, the Embassy Suites Dublin, Ohio. I'm all set and can't wait for this E-Vent to go down. Someone said on another thread that a hotel rep said the hotel was booked for this time frame but it was announced this was our hotel. Also it was mentioned that only king beds were available but they could put you on a list for doubles. I went ahead and took the king with a sofa sleeper in the living room for the daughter. She be all good!

Booked Thursday through Sunday. I got a deal on Sunday night even though it's not part of the block, so be sure to ask if you're considering staying over Sunday night. :cool:

The wife and I will definitely be there. She is from Steubenville, Ohio and we can make a family visit trip out of this.

Good deal Junebug! You might post a note to see if there is anyone from out west who may be driving and looking for co-pilot or just a mouth piece to keep them company along the way. Just make sure you're not paying for all the food! :-o I know you've seen the commercial. Anyway, anything to help make it easier on others as well as yourself. Just a thought.

Yes, it's a good idea but I'm trying to maximize my days off work so I'm gonna fly into Columbus. I considered flying part-way and co-piloting part-way but this will work better! I just won't have my car for the photo ops and record entry!

Maybe you can rent a Honda for the day...?

We will be there... me, the wife and maybe the monster-dog!

I'm attending. Probably leave my dog at home. Arriving Thursday, departing Sunday for the Air Force museum at Dayton, probably driving back to VA on Monday or Tuesday. I'm staying at a different hotel but its near the Embassy Suites.

Don't worry RD, if you can't make it back to your hotel for whatever reason, you can crash on the sofa bed in my room.

Nope... I only get 30 vacation days per year, and I prefer to spend them visiting family back home, or doing stuff with my kids. Move it to Disneyland, and I'll think about it!

If I was single, looking for a good excuse for a road trip, then, sure, why not?

Well, after the hotel said NO DOGS.............We will NOT be attending this years meet (same reason we didn't attend St Louis)
It is one thing for me to put my dogs in "day care" for an activity or two (plant tour) but I am not going to drive 10 or so hours and then kennel my dogs. Sorry Gisele, tummy rubs will have to wait
HOWEVER.........any E-PLE that are passing thru Kansas City we are more than willing to meet-up with them

I will miss meeting some of my favorite E-PLE

I did a Google search for "pet friendly hotels in Dublin, OH" and several came up, right there near the Official Hotel so you wouldn't be far from anyone. Most of them looked pretty nice as well and they offered much of the same things as the Embassey. Six one way and half a dozen another. Don't let the a certain hotel prevent you from coming if you want to come and bring the pets. I'm leaving out two yorkies home just because of the attention they'll need and I want to be in the mix on all events.

Thanks - it is not only that - the wifes mom lives in Cincy and we were going to kill two birds with one stone so to speak - turns out, her mom will be on an Alaska cruise during that time. I'll see if I can go without Adult supervision

I'm trying to leave my adult supervision home too. I know it would make for a better time. All I'd here for 24 to48 hrs is "My feet hurt, I'm ready to go get something to eat, I don't get it, why are you all so in to this car. It's just a car. And the number one statement: I think all you Element people are strange! Yea, I need to be Hans Solo for the trip!

you want I should call your wife and see if she will let ORANGEE come out and play? :razz:

:-o did I just say that?

Tell her Big Al's going to be there.

NOOO Orangee you gotta be there!! I'll cry if you don't show up!

Still debating if I should bring my adult supervision, I'd probably hear the same thing as Chozn...:rolleyes:

I'm bringing my adult supervision and if he gives me any problems then I'll take him to the doggie daycare....It's okay, he's potty trained and has all his shots.

LOTS of deer and goats, 3 horses, ducks, geese, pea****s, pigs, there are some exotic deer and I'm not sure what they are.....don't know the reason behind why theyre there, but I do like to drive by and look at them:)

I can only afford to do one long distance EOC meet this summer and have commited myself for 10 days to the Rocky Mountain/Wyoming Camping Jamboree.

The National Meet sure sounds like a very good time.

Talked with Denny after yesterday's Ship Tour, and asked him what he thought about being able to actually fit this in between our trips to Savannah and Grandfather Mountain....we're going to talk about it some more, but it MAY be possible that we can attend! :shock:

scary....Denny's normal reaction is..."uh huh" or "no"....this time it was "well, when is it?, I'll check the work calendar" :razz:.....(maybe we'll win the lottery?)

Would that be Savannah, GA? Man! That's the spot. If you go, make sure you check out the shops on River street, also there is a bar on Bay Street across from the court house called the Moon River Tavern. It was featured on the SciFi channel, the show called Taps. All I can say is, there is something up with this place. Go in the room where the pool table is and see what happens. Also for good eating, check out Lady and Son's on Congress and there is always Kickin' Chicken.

Peace and hope you guys and maybe your whole crew can make the International meet.

We love Savannah and Tybee Island - well, the whole area, actually. It's the perfect place to be - especially in the winter/spring months. This will make our 4th trip down. It's really our "destination of choice" when we need to immerse ourselves in "THE SOUTH" and "SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY."

River Street is really cool, but it's just the whole atmosphere there. I'm not a "BORN" beach type (could have something to do with being afraid of being thought to have beached myself???:twisted:) - but we just love the marshes and how genuinely friendly everyone is.

Regarding the National....well, it looks again like we're not going to be able to make it because of the date and the fact we'll be going to Grandfather Mountain in another week after that, and Denny can't get the time off. Oh well...it was a thought...bummer!:cry:

Yea, I'm giving serious consideration to moving to Savannah after I retire in 3yrs. I've been looking at an area called Pooler. I spent Thanksgiving on Tybee Island 3yrs ago and really enjoyed that. Stayed at the DeSoto Inn and I've stayed at the Historic Mulberry on east end of Bay street. Love driving up and down Albercourn with the Spanish moss hanging from the trees. Beauford, SC not far away by going over the bridge and even Hilton Head and charleston. I have fam in Daytona Beach, FL and the ATL so Savannah is just about half way between the two making either about a 3hr drive. We love the low country cooking, Lady and Son's, the hospitality and charm and never really below *40 in the winter months and in the summer, in the summer if you like heat, its hot! I've seen the devil standing on the corner with an umbrella trying to stay out of the heat. Its a great place!

I hadn't heard of Savnannah, GA until I saw the movie Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil. We went to visit it after that and have been back every year since. Don't know if you've ever seen the movie but check it out. A lot of the charactors portrayed actually live or lived in Savannah. Manerva (sp) is still there and seen on occasion. She's like the local priestess;-) and the Lady moved to Atlanta. Anyway, if you've seen the movie you know who I'm talking about but the place is awesome!

Planning on it. Been looking forward to this since I first heard the news.

The dates for this meet-up might just work for me should I decide to drive from Los Angeles to see my mom in Toronto this summer. I'm down for a Maybe at this juncture.

I will definitely be at the Death Valley meet at the end of February.
I will definitely be at the Yellowstone meet in mid-August.

See you,

Ric

Yay Ric ya gotta make it buddy!!! Andrew's coming! We can spend a couple of days camping after, and drive back to TO together!
We'll even have a meet in your honour!

(remember that Blue whatever place we went to? They are using it on a show called The Border...)

(did I mention my Brother got nominated for an Oscar? I know you'd be interested in that!)

Just why is it that every time I see a poll with maybe as an option, I see Bald Eagle's name posted under it.

Dom

So there, been waiting since 04:shock:. We have been to several local meets now THE BIG ONE YEAH. Although the wife's a little ticked you didn't invite the Ody group:mad::rolleyes:. werD:cool:

Finally cracked 60 people coming and I hope that also means 60 Elements. Now if those maybe's would come on over to our side, we would have 100 Elements on hand. Come on guys and gals. Lets make the commitment to be there. This is going to be a great event and we never know what situation we may be in next year. Lets live for the moment and make this one of the best meets we've ever had.

I know its still way early on, but cmon people if you make the commitment now, you will be motivated to go. Id like to see that 60 double by the time the meet comes around!!!

Remember guys, it's only been about two weeks since T Mac posted this. In two weeks time we've had 60 commit so that's really not bad at all.

I wonder how many of the 'no' and 'maybe' votes have changed to 'yes'.

This *is* going to be an awesome E-vent.

I'm still thinking about it.....:-P

To all you "Maybes":

I'll be running an all-night rave on Friday night in my hotel room! And Rocket Dog is the guest DJ from 12:30-2 AM! Gisele and Jojo are already signed up to be go-go dancers! Lmental Mastiffs is bartending with her world famous mojitos! Kissya and Xequar will be freestylin' to the beats!



Please note none of the above is true.

Except the part about the go-go dancers...

Work,work,work.
This sucks,i'm craving a roadtrip so bad.:-(

So, I'm completely bored here at work and decided to waste some time. My unofficial and definitely unscientific count shows a total of 65 actual Elements and a minimum of 78 total people, based on a few members coming without their E's and friends or significant others coming with a member. I'm sure there are more than 78 based on my list, but I don't know everyone that is bringing someone else.

Hey Kissya, are you familiar with Savannah, Tn? It's in Harden County where Shilo cemetary is. The catfish capital of the world, also Pickwick.

I was there this past July for our family reunion and visiting the old home place were my parents were raised.

My mom is in Fort Pierce, and we just got back from visiting her over Christmas, and my Daughter is in Naples...She's getting married in April, so that's another trip down there (unless you're in the Keys, you can't be farther south than Naples...:roll:) in less than 6 months....
Did I mention that we live in CANADA!!!

No biggie! You're not missing anything and that's for sure. It's like south and west from Nashville, about two hrs.

Those who can't, don't and those who do, are hardcore EOC members!:D

Feel guilty yet? I've got to get some jabs in, here and there.

id love to go as well but its a bit of a hike. i might be there, depends on how my bank account looks at the time. i put myself down as a mabey. anyone else from az want to carpool and split gas?

I REALLY want to attend, and, it MIGHT just work out, but, not positive as of yet. My Grandma passed away late last year and they are planning an memorial/family reunion about the same time, to be held in...... INDIANA!! Not too far away from Ohio..... :shock::shock:

If the dates are set for the above event, then, it MIGHT just work out, BUT, I will NOT have my E with me.. :shock::-(:-(:-(

Ohio is just a leetle far way from AK for a day trip otherwise...... :razz::razz:

hi Everyone!!! I might just make an appearance at this Meet. Its been too long and i WANT to see all the old/new E's that have made this big family Even Bigger!

Its gonna be hectic though. I have a wedding on the 7th and the 14th already. Dunno if i can take 3 weekends in a row off. I will work some magic *poof* hehe

As of the time of this post, 60 E owners going to the E-vent!!?!! Wow :shock:. Just wondering how many of the Maybe's are actually going to attend? 75 - 100 E owners, might be doable :rolleyes:.

Yea JSM00th, I'm thinking we're going to have 100 Elements there, at least. If those maybe's are strong maybe's we may pull it off. Wish it were like playing spades or bid wisk. When my partner would bid a possible, I'd ask if that's a strong possible or what?

I'm hoping there will be an update thread or poll on those who are booked and locked in.

Im booked at the Hilton right next to the Embassy, i know its not the official hotel, my lady works at the hilton-employee rate:)

So from the looks of the body count already this just might be a little bigger than last years E-vent:shock:. werD:cool:

I think so Box-E. Some people like myself jumped in full frontal as soon as it was announced as to be in the team hotel and have plans already made to be there. Others, some 47 to be exact, want to come but apparently are working out some logistics in order to be there. I'm thinking and hoping half of those maybe's will commit to coming and I'm thinking that number as a minimum. I truly expect there to be at least 100 Elements there and I believe the Ridgelines have at least 30 coming as well. That puts us at 80 for the two groups alone.
Big Deal? I think so.


Peace!

I truly expect there to be at least 100 Elements there and I believe the Ridgelines have at least 30 coming as well.

I'm going to say there will be at least 150 elements at this event. Since there's what a food four months to go and we're already seeing 60+ in a few short weeks... yea, we can double that amount.

What we need is a little nudging... If everyone starts tagging cars, and spreading the word it can be done. :smile:

Maybe, the maybes should get off the fence??:-P

That's what I'm saying. It's time to $h&t or get off the pot! Come on people. Commit, commit, commit!

And the only rooms available have king-sized beds....

Make your own decision, but they all have pull-out sofabeds. ;-)

Twilight, what exactly is a "Roofie" Drink anyway??

Only the most wonderful, delicious drink ever made!

Quite surprised you don't know its main ingredient (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flunitrazepam)...:rolleyes:

C'mon bring your service manager! He'll have a blast and not get on your case about having the site up any more! :razz: We just have to get some compromising pics or stories of him and he'll keep his trap shut forever! :evil:

Wonder what registration will cost this year?:)

Registration should be free for anyone that has a KIWI!!!:D:D:D

Wonder what registration will cost this year?:)


One Million dollars, please pm me for the address to send the cashiers check. :D

I had wondered the same thing and was told last year in Vegas it was $30.00, so I would imagine it will remain in the same neighborhood if not the same ball park.

Yes 60 (http://elementownersclub.com/forums/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=441) 43.48% No 30 (http://elementownersclub.com/forums/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=441) 21.74% Maybe 48 (http://elementownersclub.com/forums/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=441) 34.78%


How many of you 34.78%, the MAYBE's are really leaning towards making it to the E-Vent? I know we got a serious jump on people who committed to make the show, and you'd have to think that those who said no, know or knew for sure they wouldn't make it but those on the fence, where do you stand on it? I mean are you like greater than 50% you'll probably make it or less than 50% that you probably won't make it.

What's it going to take to get you there? Boss's approval on time off, girlfriend or wife, signifiCAN't other, what?

I'm hoping that those of you in th MAYBE category come on over to be committed to making the event.

Peace!

I was a maybe but am definitely coming. Without my E.

She's looking forward to meeting you all, and hopes that she won't be embarassed by your opinions of me, since one of her favorite expressions is "you can always tell a German... You just can't tell him much"

My mother is German...and I was born in Canada...
Does that mean I'm cold and stubborn...?

Actually, the way I worded my last post was a gag, intended for Larry (spdrcr5) since, until now, he's the only one on this site who knew that my Service Manager is female, and my wife.


You poor, poor man... If that were me, I wouldn't be
A) Sane
B) Married
C) Alive
D) All of the above

Hey I resemble that remark! :lol:

That is correct. My sister works for the Hilton Group as well and Hilton owns Embassy Suites along with quite a few other hotel chains.

Another Canadian!! We can now put one whole line up on the ice!

This is going to be a GREAT International Meet!

Hey Tim,

Lets try and get some more unCAN-E's to join us. It would be great to have a larger Canadian group of Elements this year. This will be a fun time for sure.

I think I feel an official Canadian Element decal is in order. I'll get my design juices flowing!!

Tardis

We had a thread going for that a while ago:

but i haven't heard anything lately....?

I'll be looking for a camping area soon, and hopefully bringing a few other honda drivers with me. It is ok to camp instead of stay in the hotel, right?

It is a yes for me and my 2007 honda element.

Wow! Sixtythree people have committed to this event and if those are the same amount of Element coming, plus or minus those who are just too far to drive but are coming regardless, this will be a glorious sight to behold!

I encourage those of you who have looked on this thread and have not made a determination one way or the other, to please do so. If you're waiting on more info or a specific time frame to make the commit to this gathering, let us know that as well. Give us a idea on when you may have a firm date on having a decision. We want this to be the biggest, baddest Element gathering we've ever had. In fact, we want this to be the biggest car event for clubs in North America. It's time we show the Corvettes, Mini's, Vipers, VW's and some of the other car enthusiest what it's all about and what they're going to have to do to top this event and the record number we plan to have. So come on people, get on board and make it happen. You don't have to stay at the official hotel if cost is a factor. You can stay where you like but know that the official hotel will be where people we be meeting and some events will take place. Sort of the rallying or muster point. This going to be an event that will be talked about for the rest of the year, until the next big event for 2009 and you're going to continue to kick yourself in the butt for having an opportunity of making this when you could have, should have, but didn't.
It's time to show some love for the EOC and for our site owner, moderators and for each other, to come out and participate.

Lets make it happen and lets take over Dublin, Marysville and Columbus, Ohio. This is going to be like ET go home with all of these Elements traveling on various highways and bi-ways, making it back to the place where they were created. I know the Rep's from Honda are going to flip when they see all the Honda vehicles coming home to roost.

All this being said, lets be there and be square.


Peace!

Booked....I'll be there thursday.:)

Well said. I could not have said it better myself. Man, I am still a maybe.....but I know I will not be able to get time off from work :oops:.

Booked....I'll be there thursday.:)

Kissya, because you're making the trip, I wish I could have Prince there singing Purple Rain when you pull in. If I could I would. Glad to hear you're going to be there.

JSM00thJaz3, hey my brother from another mother, I understand. Starting a new gig is hard enough and then to come in the door imediately asking for time off too. Man those people would L:mad::mad:K at you wondering who the Element you think you are to not be here a New York minute and wanting some time off during the prime time of the year. So do what you have to do and represent us spiritually where you are.

Chozn,

I've got a big event of my own coming up in less than 2 months now. I'm getting married in March. So here are the factors keeping me from committing.

1) It's roughly 955 miles one way, that's a lot of gas to get there
2) Fiance might teach summer school which would be in session at that time
3) I'd like to see an iternery before I commit, event if it's just a list of the big things that will happen
4) I'll need to ask for the time off work eventually, so I need number 3 before that deadline, which for this event would probably be early April. This may be complicated by the time I'm taking for the honey moon.
5) I need to be able to roughly estimate the total cost for the trip to make sure we can afford it. Here's what I have so far:
a. Gas - (955 * 2)/300 = 6.3 + 1 = 7.3 so I need at least 8 tanks of gas to cover caravaning once I'm there. 8*$40 = $320
b. Hotel - As you can see gas will be expensive so, I will probably opt for a less exspensive hotel.
c. Food - This will be determined by the iternery.
d. Registration - I understand this should be under $100 based on previous years.

So, as a maybe, I'm leaning towards a yes if I can work out the above factors.

First of all breese524, let me start off by saying congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! Getting married can be a beautiful thing and stressful as well. I'm sure it will be a joyous occasion.

I can most certainly understand you wanting to get a more detailed list of the events that will take place for the International Event before you commit. I too make that drive from Indy to Orlando every year as we had a unit at Polynesian Isle resort up until this past October when we sold it. That being said, the economics of it all does take a bearing on what we do. As I'm not a moderator or staff for the EOC or the site, I can say that I have had some contact off board wit T MAC and JuliE and they are working as hard as they can, to bring forth the best possible product for all it's members and not just a select few. I will say if you hold on for a few more weeks, T MAC and spdrcr will post more details on what is going to happen for the group. The registration fee will more than likely be somewhere around $30 as I heard this is what is was last year from Dancetiludrop. I can't imagine it being too far from what it has been in the past.

Like I said, bear with them, give 'em a little more time and I'm sure they're going to give you information that will make you say, "Hey, I've got to be there for that".

I anticipate more info within the next few weeks.
Thanks for the response and good luck!

Peace!

Nobody has factored in the price for all the booze yet:grin::grin::grin:

Yes, count me in. Just made my reservations at the Embassy suites. I can't wait. This will be my first meet.

Could you imagine the size of the wedding party you could have if you set the date for that weekend. :-D Just imagine all the memories and "gifts" (GAS MONEY) you would have. Your bride to-be would be sooooo surprised, and you could even make a Guinness Record of it. :rolleyes:

How many people do you know that would have that big of a wedding party??? And a following of that many E's.

Just saying!

Bob

Right now if you take those who are coming and those who are listed as a maybe, we'd have 119 Elements or members coming to the E-Vent. That's a lot of cars and people. The line from the hotels to where ever we're going once we get there is going to be awesome. I plan and hope to video the entire event. Those three days in Marysville/Cloumbus should turn the town into E'ville.

Oh man, mega bummer! I'm going to be in Guatemala.

They did that sort of thing at the local Starbucks, everyone had their caffeine fix and it lasted an hour and a half. :)

Yea, the Mrs. works for SBux and it's called "Spread The Chear". You pay for yours and the person behind you and it just continues to flow. This happens every year a SBux all over at their Drive Thru.

Be my luck some gear head who's done extensive mods to Element along with a mod he's never published, "The Reserve Gas Tank Mod" where he's taken a tank from a wreck and bolted it to the same area on the other side.

No but I HAVE tossed about the idea of taking out the spare and putting a fuel cell in there :razz:

This is going to be a huge meet! EOM

This is going to be a huge meet! EOM


Big! Real big! I'm starting to wonder what the economic impact is going to be on the local economy. I mean with over 100 Honda vehicle's in the Dublin/ Marysville, Columbus area for 2 to 4 days, you can probably put at least two people with each vehicle, let the media kick in with their special interest stories to local TV stations and man, this thing could blow up where cities actually bid to get us to come there for out meets. I mean it's really a shot in the arm of the local economy. Some Po-Dunk mayor will start calling T Mac up and telling him his city will give us the Key, we have the free run of everything if we just come. I wish we could have it in Indy one year. I think it would be a great venue.

God a couple more days:) hopefully we'll be at 75 already!!! 100 within a month or so... That would be awesome to have 150....just wishful thinkin:confused::)

We could have 123 if those 56 Maybe's come on over to our side of the yard to play.

My wife and I plan to be there from Utah. Her parents live just over the bridge from the listed Embassy Suites hotel in Dublin! If memory serves, it is about 1,900 miles from our location here in Utah to Dublin, Ohio.

As the Element Owners Club, we have the power to possibly get a tour of the Marysville assembly plant. I have made attempts in the past to get in for a tour in the past unsuccessfully, but have been informed that organized group tours are possible.

EOC should see if this can be done! I have stood outside the Marysville plant, but never been inside.

Later.

I like-a the way you think! When the National Meet was held in Columbus a few years ago, the EOC did just that! Some lucky folks got a factory tour! Something really cool is coming for this year too - I just know it!! See you there.

You can look back in that National Meet thread to find some pics of the party.

E_BikeR, I don't want to be the first to tell you, but, this is already posted in the beginning of the threads. Plus a lot more to be done. T-Mac and his great accomplices (too many to list) are working on a great package to be posted soon, be patient.

And welcome to the neighborhood:D

I'm glad Mercury Morris of the '72 Dolphins isn't an Element owner and member of thise great association. He doesn't like to welcome people to his neighborhood. He tells people don't let me know when you're in my neighborhood but when you're at my door on my porch.

that might be on the agenda just wait grasshopper

Hey all, I'm stoked that the '08 meet is only a few hours away from me this year, but the wife can't make it. I still plan to be there, but it'll be my inaugural meet and I wanna make sure there will be plenty of festivities to keep me busy since I'll be there all by my lonesome. Keep me updated...

OOOOH OOOH, Now I am getting enthused! I have been visiting this area in Ohio for 15 years, and always knew there were more folks that thought that this manufacturing tour thing would be a real kick! Thanks for the welcome too, I already like this group more than that "other" group I was in!

BTW: I am fairly familiar with the area, so if there is anything that I can do to help, let me know.

Later.

from the looks of it, I think my earlier prediction of 150 is wrong.... :sad:


looks like it's gonna be way more. :smile:


This is gonna be so good!!

So now that there are E-owners that are coming from all over... when the meet gets closer can we plan convoy meeting points along major arteries?

Would look amazing for large numbers of E's to descend into Ohio!

Yes I am a super green newbie here, but I have been in *only* a Honda since 1997.

Hey Todd, have a look at this forum for all the info on the International Meet:

http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=90

As well, each of the regional forums has info about convoys to the meet...:-P

Truly not meaning to be a pain, but.... I am not seeing anything on regional groups in the link you kindly listed. I'll keep digging around.

:-(

[I]How many of you 34.78%, the MAYBE's are really leaning towards making it to the E-Vent? I know we got a serious jump on people who committed to make the show, and you'd have to think that those who said no, know or knew for sure they wouldn't make it but those on the fence, where do you stand on it? I mean are you like greater than 50% you'll probably make it or less than 50% that you probably won't make it.

Peace!

Unlike you that are within "easy" driving distance, some of us are not and would still LOVE to make the event. I have a memorial/family reunion for my Grandma who passed away late last year scheduled for about the same time, so I REALLY hope to combine the two. Of course, if you are willing to fork over plane fare, I would be HAPPY to commit to both..... :rolleyes::D:lol::lol::lol:

Unfortunately it would be without my E (unless I can purchase one for the wife at the same time....... ;-) )

Not sure anyone from so far West has posted a caravan thread yet - I'll be arriving from 30,000 feet in a metal tube. Look for me!

There are lots of picture threads found here (http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=52) - the party at the plant looked *awesome* and was part of my reasoning for making sure to get to the meet this year.

Thanks for the links, but I am quickly finding out there is not much for the Rocky Mountain region! May need to stir something up here. My best friend locally has an E also, we need to push this. I am happy to hear you will also go Junebug! You are driving from the Northwest and giving up the flight right;-) If you'd change your mind on the driving vs. flying, I'd expect you would take I80 or I90?

Rocky Mountains you say? Check my sig for the big jamboree in August. Then I'll have my car.

And yes, if I were driving I'd take I-90 for a good long ways. But no! I'm-a flyin'.

You could take I-90 all the way to Chicago, which is damn near the whole way from where you're driving. Let me know if you're coming through, we have a convoy from MN shaping up :D

I'm not driving! I won't! I won't! I won't! (Gots-ta save my vacation hours for all the other madness this year!)

I dont know Junebug is your car floating around your job at the moment? Trying to float down a river?

I just requested the days off. After reading the threads in this section, I'm wondering what I've gotten myself into.

And for those of you keeping a tally, I did vote "Yes" in the poll.

Hey I was just watching the Today Show and they had someone reporting from Marysville b/c of the weather... hope the snows gone by JUNE!

My husband and I will be there! I made reservations today at the Hilton!

I should be in Columbus for work through June, if so, I'll be there!

Anyone heard if there is any progress on a tour of the East Liberty plant during the "E"vent? Does Honda assemble Elements in June?

Can someone say these "E"ople are chomping at the bit for info? Seventyseven "E"ople have signed up and are committed to being there. How Elements I wonder? This going to be BIG, HUGE!

I can't wait. T MAC, are you saying there's going to be an online registration so those who do so can go to the "E"xpressline and pick up their gift bag, T-shirt, laynard etc? Looking at what we have going on it might help the flow if you did. Two separate places within the same venue to handle the massEs.

I can work with some ribs. Not big on Montgomery Inn ribs. They used to be here in Indy and didn't survive, so that within itself says a lot. I'm sure we can find something close by though. I heard the Winking Lizzard has good food and ribs too if I'm not mistaken.

I think that if Lizzard is winking at you, your in trouble....:lol:

I've owned my E for four days now and I'm not gonna miss it. I can't wait to go camping in it.

And I'm only a few hours away:D

Will we crack 100 by March 1st? I know several where saying they're waiting on the agenda to be posted and T MAC has said he plans to do that around the first of March. I hope that those that are sitting on the fence will make the decision to join the majority. We can make this the biggest, baddest and greatest E-Vent since the EOC started.

"Yes, We Can":razz:
