ATL ERMCA Alumni Gathering (Sticky This)

[LSWon00]

Rich proposed the first week of December.

I can do that. Will we meet a someone's house or will this be an outing at a restaurant / sports bar?

If its an outing somewhere I'd suggest somewhere in the city that easy for everyone to get to like Gordon Biersch in Midtown. Its big with easy parking has beer and good food and plenty of space for a large group.


Other ideas, toss them out here.

[MustangCowboy93]

I'm all for it- count me in.

[Luke01GT]

if it's on a weekend, I'm game

[HORSEpower]

I'm in. If Rich is volunteering his house, I'm up for it. It's much easier to get there then it is to get to the city, and almost eveyone lives on the south side anyway. I'd offer my house, but I'm probably the only one who is going to show on the north side. Rich, do you have Sunday the 6th off?

Kurt

[TheDan]

Highland Tap.

Kurt...I'm going to be at the ASA crew lounge all fucking day on Friday doing some pilot/controller forum for NATCA. I plan on phoning in any douche's callsigns to work so they get fucked on the way out.

[HORSEpower]

Cool. Amazing how they screw that up. ASA said that it was going to be Atlanta tower guys there, not center guys. I'll be able to come hang out around 10:00am. I will be able to assist in douche identification and figuring out their callsigns.

Kurt

[TheDan]

The useless swivelheads from the tower will also be there to amaze you with their "cleared for takeoff, cleared to land, left turn, join bravo, bravo to victor, ground point niner on victor" skills.

[INTENSS]

I'll be off that entire weekend (Dec 4-6, Fri-Sun)...so I can get a few people into my house who come in for the weekend. We can do a cruise somewhere too.

Rich

Cool, it's a good opportunity to see the new place too. IMHO we should meet up at your place because it's closest for most people without the hassle of downtown, and then go for a cruise somewhere.

Kurt

Yeah, but those tower guys have to do ground work too. Toughest controller job in controlling has got to be the Atlanta ground controller, followed by ramp 4 controller.

I've been to ATL once and it was in the middle of the night, I just about screwed everything up when they told me to taxi on DIXIE, I was like WTF... OOOOOHH gotcha lol

[HeloPilot]

Rich,

The get together sounds awesome, but I'll still be over here. My unit has been doing some good work, we were recently featured in Aviation Week magazine...

http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_channel.jsp?channel=defense&id=news/ODIN101209.xml

Take some pictures and post, I check the site as often as I can.

Rich,

Awesome article. I wish you could be here to attend, but we'll do it again when you get back...I'll keep a few cold ones ready for you.

Are you at OAA? We fly into there a few times week...alot of freight going in.

Kurt - My house works...can get a few bodies in here. BBQ is at the ready.


Rich

[HORSEpower]

Rich

Sounds really good to me. We can do the next one up here at my place, I'm cool with that. I know going downtown is tempting, but I honestly don't think many people will show up if we go downtown. Eric only goes in there on the Marta, and I never drive the stang downtown. I'll text Josh and let him know when the time gets closer, and I think I can get Roed on facebook.

Kurt

[Brazen6.0]

I second that...BBQ'n is a nicer idea, and there's no way I'd drive anything other than the Truck down town, and I would rather drive something more fun than the truck...

[INTENSS]

Im not a big fan of driving into the city either...midtown yea, downtown..not at all. Barbecuing is easy...relaxing...and if you just want to drink and not have to worry about driving it's best to hang out at someone's place.

Dec 4-6 (fri-sun) sounds like a good time for most. If people from out of town want to fly in on that friday and stay through sunday, that's fine with me...I can take 3 people comfortably. Have 2 spare bedrooms/beds and a fouton. JB had said he'd take one, so let me know whoe else wants to stay here. Again, I can get contacts for the hotels up the street if anyone prefers...they're literally about a minute away...1/4 mile up the road from the subdivision. If we get more people from out of town, some of the other Atlanta guys might have some room too...but they'd have to confirm.

For those that come in on Friday, we can head somewhere for dinner...Taco Mac is pretty decent and close by. We can start barbecuing earlier on Saturday for the football games and just keep on going until whenever. I'm on vacation Dec 1st-12th...so I'm wide open if anyone wants to stick around through Sunday or Monday...just let me know. We can cruise to someone elses house or wherever on Sunday..(or more football???)....throw some ideas out, we've got a bit of time. I wish I had something to install on the cars...lol.

Whenever someone thinks they're pretty confident they're going to come, just post up so we can start to get a head count. I'll send a pm with address/contacts or maybe we can post it up in a member only area? I don't really want to just put it out in a public forum.

Rich

[Brazen6.0]

^ sounds good. looks like we're 90% go...hey is there a track close to you? if so we could go run our scrap...

[LSWon00]

There's a track in Reynold 1.75 hrs away

http://www.silverdollarraceway.com/

Atlanta Dragway Looks to be closed during Dec-Feb

[Brazen6.0]

well bummer...1.75h away is a little far

[HORSEpower]

It's 1.75 hours away from where Brad lives. Add another 45 minutes to get there from where Barth lives. And you also have to travel on the worst commute in Atlanta, I-75 southbound), right around rush hour traffic time, so you can add another 2 hours if it's in rush hour. They do however have Friday Night Drags at Atlanta Motor Speedway, which is only about a 45 minute drive. I've never been.

Kurt

[Brazen6.0]

45 minutes is much nicer...especially after traveling for 5h

[Grannynational]

This sounds like fun, I'll have to bid it off.

Joe

[LSWon00]

There's no listings for any activity on ATL Dragway after November so I think they're closed. The last Test n Tune date was late Nov.

[HORSEpower]

Yeah, I didn't think they would be open. Most track folk don't like to work in the winter.

Kurt

[MustangCowboy93]

How about Jonathan Faught and Aiston. I might be able to look into some buddy passes if anyone is interested. Also, I've got a place to crash for anyone coming into town in Fayetteville. Just bring your sunglasses for my TV so you can keep your retinas.

[The STIG]

I'd be game but am waiting to hear from a few friends about a 24hr paintball game that weekend, depending on them bidding their time this next week I'll know if I am free or not.

[INTENSS]

This sounds like fun, I'll have to bid it off.

Joe

You're damn straight!

Where's McClintock? McCabe? Trujillo? Who else are we still missing here?


Rich

[Brazen6.0]

Rich, you have enough time to order a crate 588ci BBC for the monte! it'll fit right in! we can do that on sat afternoon while the burgers are cooking....

[Luke01GT]

Hey Eric I heard about the spank theater you have now, I shed a tear when Kurt told me...

[AirCowboy]

As long as im still out of work im in. Eric, i would def. take you up on a buddy pass. I may be back to work by than however in which case i amy still very well still be in, i would just have to fly out of utah. It would be nice to see everyone again.

[Typhoon]

I'm here, I wont know what work looks like till closer. But if I can swing it I'm down.

[Deebo]

You're damn straight!

Where's McClintock? McCabe? Trujillo? Who else are we still missing here?


Rich

No one remembers the brown guy...:ashamed:

Deebo

[RyanWJ]

No one remembers the brown guy...:ashamed:

Deebo

Because you're not an alum dummy

[INTENSS]

No one remembers the brown guy...:ashamed:

Deebo

Deebo, we know your around and actively watching the forums...!


Rich

[HORSEpower]

Buddy passes out of Daytona are worthless. Probably not much good out of the Northeast either. I have had good luck getting Trujillo in from Memphis; that route always seems to be wide open.

Kurt

[HORSEpower]

You're damn straight!

Where's McClintock? McCabe? Trujillo? Who else are we still missing here?

Rich

Let me guess, you have completely lost track of where all your friends from college ended up. I'll be seeing McCabe tomorrow, but I gather he has already caught wind of this from Brad.

Kurt

[LSWon00]

No Dan won't be there at the ASA/ATC/YMCA/Chili Cook-off things because Heather's Grandmother passed away this past Monday and they left for FL this evening. I'm pretty sure he know about this, he looks at the forum just doesn't post often.

[INTENSS]

Kurt

Incorrect. I was wondering if they had seen this topic.


Rich

[The STIG]

I'm a no go for it now, just got the call last night that they were able to bid off so I'll be in ocala shooting people for both days that weekend. I know I'm going to be sorry that I'm not going but I need a reason to justify this small arsenal of paintball equipment I keep.

[TheDan]

confirmed...bitches.

[INTENSS]

confirmed...bitches.

Excellent.

Yeah, all his ATC buddies said he was at a funeral.

Kurt

[TheSean]

I will try to be thr. Will confirm shortly beforehand. That's a busy time of year for me.

[INTENSS]

Rich

[HORSEpower]

Country Inn and Suites is bad ass. Best hotel in existance.

Kurt

[INTENSS]

As we approach 2 weeks prior to this gathering, I'd like to get an idea as to who is confirmed coming and what dates. Going to plan to do the barbecue/official get-together on Saturday, Dec 5th all day. Again, no problem coming in early or heading out the next day.

So, who's doing what?

Rich

[Brazen6.0]

^ we're still a go far as I know, thinking on coming in on friday early evening if that's ok with ya!

[Luke01GT]

I'd love to make it Rich, but my parents will be in town that weekend. I won't be able to make it

[LSWon00]

I'm there but I really don't live far.

[HORSEpower]

I'll be there.

Kurt

[Ed]

Well, our Thanksgiving trip out there has been postponed. Katie's got a pretty wicked cold/sinus infection thing going on. We've decided to rescheduled for this weekend providing I can get some leave those days. That being said, the two of us should be around. :D

Oh... hope Katie's feeling better, but very good. :)

Rich

Here's the plan:

Official ERMCA Alumni Gathering
Date: Saturday, December 5th
Time: 1200pm to whenever
Food/beer will be provided, feel free to bring your favorite drinks
Location: my house (directions provided per request)

For those coming in from out of town, you are more than welcome to come on Friday, Dec 4th and head out of town on Sunday, Dec 6th. Like I had mentioned before, I have beds available for 3 people, 2 are already claimed....just let me know if you want the last one....first come, first serve.

PM me for address/directions to my house. I don't want to post it up here on the internet....also gives me a good idea as to who is coming. I am located in Newnan, GA just off I-85 to give you an idea for drive time.

If anyone has an X-Box 360/PS3, go ahead and bring it with some games...might be cool to get some Madden or something in.

Looking forward to seeing everyone....hope you all have a good thanksgiving.

Rich

[Brazen6.0]

Rich,
got a change of plan, I just got an job offer that I can't refuse and they are starting me this Friday, and I'll probably have to work on Satruday am too.
Rain check for next time though!

[HORSEpower]

Eric has an Xbox 360. Though we will probably be retiring to his place later in the day to play Nazi Zombies at his fap station with the 65" Plasma.

Kurt

[Luke01GT]

lol fap station!

[INTENSS]

We're 4 days away and I haven't gotten a single solid confirmation. Anyone coming? Need directions?

Rich
