Great Lakes ATS Adventure! *SUCCESS!!!!!!!*

this is just to organize things a bit more about a possible meetup. we're shooting for a potluck/barbeque in the detroit area on august 21st.

anyway, respond to this thread saying what you'll bring (foodwise) and, most importantly, if you'll be coming. this thread will also be a sort of contact point for car pools from further away locations to get set up. once you respond i'll u2u you with the address and whatnot.

any questions folks?

EDIT: other important information...
i have a limited supply of camp/folding chairs, so you may have to bring your own. it'll be BYOB, since i'm a minor and too cheap anyway. and i'll set up a volleyball net, just for the hell of it.

UPDATE:
3 PM is a good time to start showing up, but if anyone wants to show up a bit earlier and help me set up or something that would be great. It'll end when everyone decides to leave.

also, i have no idea what we'll do except eat, talk, and play volleyball... so if anyone wants to think of anything else or bring like a frisbee or something go right ahead!

oh, and feel free to bring some CDs if you want so that way you don't have to put up with my horrible tastes in music!

EDIT: just changing the title... nothing new added, but the "Updated Again" has sort of lost relevancy.

I'm coming...if I can get a ride.

I will set fire to your pets....wait, no, I mean bring some sort of red meat. Probably ribs.


DE

Even if I was able to go, I could'nt. August 21 I leave on vacation.

I'll bring some chairs and booze for me!

What will I bring for you? Hmmm.. A few things.... Namely:

smoked turkey half sub sandwiches:
( I make them good, just the right amount of ingredients namely:
-Ranch/cucumber salad dressing
-hellman's mayo
-honey mustard
-pinch of salt and pepper
-and a smile (yes i'm corny i know)


Pasta salad (maybe probably not though haven't made it in a long time don't want to attempt now and kill you guys)


veggie platter with my secret dip sauce

I'll get back on this I really can't think right now...

I will be there for sure! Is this at your airport thing or your house?


And! I love volleyball, so if you guys want to form teams now speak up!
And no I don't suck i'm awesome at that game I was cpt 2 years straight in hs before quitting the team due to rowing that took over my life...
However that was 4 yrs so i'd probably have to brush the rust off..

PS: Please tell me this is a safe part of detroit... I'm new to the area but have heard some awful things about it and seen stuff on the news, namely shootings at the marshall field's fireworks...

it's not downtown. in fact, it's not even IN detroit proper. not even the same county... so we should be safe.

don't forget to u2u me some directions on how to get there.....

what county are you in? macomb oakland??

Anybody wanna fly me out there?? No?? Damn

We should have local ATS get togethers...if more people would try and set them up. I would around here...but 1.people couldnt get to where I live...2.im too cheap...3.too lazy to get it all together.

Hmm...and why is my avatar the remote linking thingy??

Since I am already a long way from home, I am will provide sodas, plates, cups, utensils, napkins, etc. I have found a Sam's Club in Farmington Hills that will be convenient. Cmdr, if you can provide me with a count on Friday the 20th I will purchase accordingly. To attendees, if you have a soda preference please u2u me in advance otherwise I'll go with the "standard" stuff (beer is not a soda). In addition, do we need ice, and are there coolers, or cold storage available?

August 21st.... I will try to be there, bringing beer and probably some kind of dessert.... my sweetie is awesome when it comes to desserts... will probably also bring something else...

I'll need directions also please...

I have coolers, also ice would be good... very good.. It's probably going to be damn hot outside...

I'll bring some hot dogs since no one has said that yet, if anyone requests sausages let me know...

I don't drink soda so none for me thanks... I just bring me some water and beer.

TrueLies: smoked turkey half sub sandwiches; veggie platter with secret dip sauce
Mirthful Me: sodas, plates, cups, utensils, napkins, etc
elevatedone: beer and probably some kind of dessert

i have a small refridgerator out there already, and could get a second or third. i'll bring some coolers and ice as well.

what is the date of this partae???

And is there a lake nearby to do some swimming/snorkelling!!?

I haven't been in the water yet even though I live right across from a lake...
I know I know, I don't know whats wrong with me either...

I'm going to have to purchase what I'm bringing. Customs might be a bugger with bringing foodstuffs across the border. I'll bring the Dogs, buns, condiments and water.

I'll bring my dog too only if yours is friendly...

You can always buy food over here, you know they do have grocery stores lol!!
Kroger, farmer jack, kamrt supastore, although I wouldn't trust me food from their stores... and then some...


I got a chocolate lab named mulligan (irish no golf freak)
He's very energetic, jumps but doesn't bite, he just thinks everyone is his friend, we're teaching "no jump" right now. He's 7 months (new years baby) and pretty much full grown now... Not neutered because we want to breed him so if you have girl dogs i'll have to get him some shorts lol... He likes them bitches even though he has a girlfriend... teehee

Also should we introduce ourselves as our usenames??

"Hi, i'm trueLies"

"elevatedone, nice to meet you" lol

uhhh, I guess I'll let the cat out of the bag...

My name is Amy... And i'm an atsholic... Hi, *sits down*
