23rd is much better for me. I talked to the wife, she said she wont go due to the fact she doesnt want to be murdered by strangers but i can go.

Well she wouldn't have to worry about being murdered by strangers, we don't kill anyone until we get to know them

Just something about driveing 400 miles away to meet strangers didnt appeal to her. My worry is that she thought it would be fine for me to go.

lol 400 miles in an Aurora is a treat! I want to say I'll be there, but I don't want to jinx myself (again.)

Hey gang. I haven't been around a whole lot due to being on the road driving.(43 states of our beautiful 50 in 2 months)but that has now changed and will be available more.
I don't know if the space is still available for that day or not and won't know for several days. I have been waiting to see what else is going on in the area. Byron Speedway has nothing and the local A&W Cruise Night is on the weekend before and after. The only major car event other than the same Cruise Night some of us attended on Friday night is the Bloomington Gold Corvette Show which is about 10 minutes from our alleged spot. It is the mother of all Vette shows.
If you guys want another date let me know ASAP.
Another option I spoke to oldwino about was everyone meeting the day before or during the Olds National on July 4th weekend in Des Moines Iowa. I will be there with the Final 500 Alero and Jack was thinking of going also. We might even be able to recruit some new members for ACNA. It is half way for a majority of the people that come to Aurora and Missouri.
Just a thought.

I might be up to head to aurora. It sounds like fun and the funds shouldnt be that bad. Heres a question. Does anyone ever have trouble convincing your spouce that you want to drive hundreds of miles to another state to meet people you have never meet before to talk about cars then drive back. Mine has never understood this. She never understood this with subarus either. My fiance's answer would be no so I don't even ask haha. She'll be alright without me for a couple days. Driving 9 hours up to IL to talk about Auroras all weekend and then drive 9 hours back to KS is something that I would never ask her to do. ;D A big convoy would be cool, though. And when we get there we can play a really fun game! It's called "See how many people can fit their sleeping bags in Zach's living room." ;D ;D ;D I open my door and my heart to any and all members who drive...GEO'S! Nobody shall litter my home with leaking, wheezing, smoking, Auroras. NO ONE! Especially anyone who drives a purple car. I mean...c'mon now...purple. No real man would drive some purple blob around. Just kidding! Buuuttt I guess I can open my home up. The roomates might scream, but im hoping to be out of here by June. Only time will tell.

Not sure if Des Moines would even be a possibility for me, early July is a BIG no no for taking time off at my job haha. What date did we decide on anyways? 23rd?

Going to the Olds National weekend would be a blast, but don't cars need to be stock to be shown there? Mine is far from it and since it's a daily driver it's not really in show condition either haha. But if someone gets a hold of the guy with the glass roof concept and gets him to show then I'm there. I've gotta talk to him about letting me buy his front bumper. ;D (he's not on the forum, of course. haha)
I'm down for the 23rd in our usual spot if we can. Rob even if you can't come to the meet (which would suck!) could you come afterward? I would hang around wherever until you could come meet us. Even if people have to go home and whatever we could go hang at Don's, Andy's or Zach's or something until you could get there, maybe have a beer or two? The year that I came I think Don and I worked on mods for his car and talking Auroras all night anyway haha. Oh, and true Chicago style pizza. mmmmmm. I wouldn't leave until the following morning anyway so no worries there.

Good that they have a modified class! Thanks. I still like the idea of the normal IL meet though.
I hope it works out, Rob! We'll figure something out I'm sure.

Like I said, the only thing that I can see keeping me from it is that I'm not coming unless the cutout is installed. I ordered it earlier this week, so it's looking good for me. ;D
I might have a wedding to go to that weekend though, I'm not sure what date it is. I'll check it when I get home to be sure.

No schedule conflicts with me, I checked. Assuming nothing crazy happens (and I get that cutout installed!) then I'm in!
