Colin Doyle from MN? hmmm... Are you going to bring a note from your mom so you can drink a bier with us??Colin wrote:Woooo! Party at Anglin's! This is going to rule!
Just get hooked up with Justin Olsen from Fargo and Ryan Mattson...and get you butt down here for the CONVOY!! I talked with Justin last night.
Take it over to the I-70 group and we can discuss details.
Oh.. btw... if you plan on convoying.. and you aren't on the I-70 group email list, you will miss out on the free lunch tickets I have for Friday at the Cracker Barrel.
Let's all work together to make this one incredible road trip experience!
Best regards from St. Louis, Misery & New Kazoo, Pa

BEEN TO CARLISLE 8X AND CONVOYING AGAIN IN 2005!
THE ROADTRIP OF A LIFETIME!!!
Just an FYI, with about a week to go (depending on where your trip starts from) the I-70 Convoy list is blowing the hell up. There have been more messages on that list in the last two months than there was during the previous 37 months. (That's planning for three Carlisle trips; 2001, 2002, 2003, for those who aren't paying attention.)
If you will be traveling at any point along I-70 or I-76 eastbound to Carlisle and you aren't on the I-70 Convoy Mailing List, you need to fix that problem. Mad information is now being shared. Very important details, phone numbers, pickup locations, pictures of motorized picnic tables, addresses, directions and plans are being shared there. SignupSignupSignup.

I'm I annoying yet? If not, I'll keep pushing until you join. It is THAT important.

I tell you what, this group is going to be crazy-big. I've been pushing people from the Columbus area to backtrack to my place for the Thursday party. I have a couple of folks doing it too (you guys are the bomb).DPDISXR4Ti wrote:I'm half inclined to drive out to Pittsburgh so I can ride in with this mob-scene!!!
I'm half-inclined, myself, to backtrack to Indianapolis to go for a lap around the oval with the I-70 Convoy folks that will be there. Of course I would be more inclined if it were the F1 road course, but we all know about beggars and choosers. Could you imagine how sweet it would be to see a picture of your XR blazing out of Turn 13 down the front straight?
Let's put some perspective on the 2005 I-70 Convoy. I'm expecting it to be twice as large as the number of Merkurs that showed up for Carlisle 1996!
Comon out, Brad!

Off to hook up my Stereo. I may not have a/c or heat, but I'll have some cool tunes and a jamming stereo. Stereo Mc's, Pet shop boys, Guns and Roses, good chit.

I have quoted myself so many time in the last few days that I am starting to wonder if this is the MCAF equivalent of talking to myself.anglin wrote:Remember kids:

Anyway, I have some stuff to add to the above list. In fact, here the list repeated with the new information added.

I'm so proud of myself that I'm not posting to my own quoted text.
There has been a small shift in plans for the Thursday night layover. You can hear all about them if you join the I-70 Convoy Mailing List. This has an effect on money, so it might mean something for you to find out about it. (Dinner plans at the Anglin's have changed.)

If you are going to be laying over with the Anglins Thursday night, bop on over and join. You'll find out all about it.
