MOA Forum gathering - 8pm Fri. night at the rally

[KBasa]

OK, we've got a bunch of folks showing up from all over the coutry and by now we're all actually starting to recognize each other's names and avatars.

So, to make us all feel like a big happy family, how about if we all get together at the beer tent at 8pm on Friday of the national. We can all have a beer, shoot the breeze, taste some bourbon perhaps and make a whole bunch of new friends.

Anybody up for it?

:D :D

Oh, yeah ... I'm up for it. :clap
But my plans are still in the air for the National. If I come, I will definitely be at the MOA Forum Gathering. :D

[gararnett]

Lets see, beer, BOURBON, riding and camping. And its all within 2 hours of home. I think I'll be there. Any special requests for bourbon?

Can we post this gathering time & place somewhere at the Rally?

Or have it announced somehow.

I'm sure I'll forget about it!

Brown.

:1drink :D

[zzkvsl]

you bet I'll be there . Should be ready for a beer by then. :clap

[SpartanTim]

:) YES!

[LTrider]

If there's beer, I'll be there!:bliss I probably won't wait 'til 8PM!:D

[Friedle]

Friday night it is.

Beer, bourbon and some great bluegrass music from West Virginia's own Johnny Staats and the Delivery Boys. Johnny Staats is a nationally recognized amazingly talented mandolin player. His band plays tunes ranging in style from Bill Monroe standards to David Grisman Dawg type music, much of it original. It will be an ass kicking good music night....as will the other two nights of equally outstanding feel good party time music.

Once again fulfilling my promise of "No bad garage bands playing "Proud Mary" off key allowed!"

Just another reason to not miss Charleston's "Almost Heaven" Rally

You bet I'll be there. I want to meet the Guy from Marin and find out just what he does to waste time.

Anybody know what flavors of beer we will be having? Anything other than Piswah? Hoppy is good. Da Bitterer, da betterer. Something like a Sierra Nevada, Tupper's Hop Pocket, or Alimony Ale.

Yes, I will be there not a beer drinker.
Maybe BMWMOA could get Iron City brewery to can some with BMWMOA labels.

[BMWRider]

Over on the Beer Tent thread, Santa says they're going to have Redhook ESB, among others.

[moterbiker]

Another husband/wife RT team (KANKU/EMPI)

[fojobq]

I sure will be there. Can't stay out too late, gotta take the ERC course the next morning. See you there.

[oldtime]

:brow I'll be there always nice to meet new people , this will be my first national

[Hawk Hawthorne]

OK all you lushes....how about I trough a fly in the foam?

Your poor ole Veep will be running the Beer Tent cash box, taking your hard earned money, on friday night from 8pm to 1am. Can we start gathering, say, 7pm instead? I'd really like to meet you clowns!! Besides, I'd like a few swigs before I go to work!:bliss

Also, who is going to bring the "FORUM LUSHES ARE OVER HERE" sign???:dunno

See ya Friday night!

[Hawk Hawthorne]

Yeh, yeh. I know it's "throw", not "trough"....

[KBasa]

7pm? Sounds good to me.

I'll make a sign, though it might be kind of smallish.....

Dave

[gararnett]

I'll be there between 7:30-8:00 p.m. Fri. (and after I register at C.C.)

[krash721]

Count the lovely Jennifer and myself in!

[lorazepam]

If I can find you guys I will be there... coming in thursday. and I imagine I will be ready for a beer by friday night, and I hope they have cabs that will take me to and from nitro, where my room is located. Dont want a drunk person riding my scooter. :drink :beer :1drink

[fojobq]

Hi again, 7pm sounds good to me but I was planning on riding the rally shuttle. We are staying at a Hotel and as I understand the shuttles will not start running until 8pm. Just have to be a good girl I guess. See you there.
:cat

[Friedle]

The shuttle buses will run from 1800 to 0045.....6 pm to 12:45 am in girly time :p

Take the bus, parking will be very crowded at Beer Tent time at the U of C. Plus drinking and riding never mix.

Shuttle bus details will be in your Rally program.

[fojobq]

Thanks for the info, I'll still be a good girl.
:rolleyes

How about Knob creek :bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss :bliss

[BradfordBenn]

Now I have to go repack.... and take the vermouth out of the tankbag.

I will be there, first rally for me so I am hotelling it. Busses are our friends.

And just remember, Good People go to heaven, Bad People go everywhere else.:evil
:beer

[KBasa]

Finished my bourbon last night, but still have vermouth, gin, shaker and glass.

I'm surviving.....

:D

See you cats there.

[BradfordBenn]

So is this going on this year? :stick :stick

[einnar]

In !

[John Brase]

I'm in.

On another thread, I thought we were going to get together on Thursday evening, 'bout 6-ish, at the Beer Garten. The thought behind this was because George will be playing starting about 6-ish on Friday, and the Forum Folks will be tending bar on Friday from noon-til-4pm. At least that was the proposal at the time. What is on anybody's mind?

[Rich]

I can't make the rally this year, but I remember the great time I had in Spokane when we all got together. For those of you on the sidelines, go! It is fun to put faces on people you have met here, and some of these guys (and gals) are just plumb nuts.

Sorry I'm gonna miss it. Have fun, I'll be thinking of you and waiting for the pictures to show up here. :thumb

[Kenny2]

I hope they have cabs that will take me to and from nitro, where my room is located. Dont want a drunk person riding my scooter. :drink :beer :1drink

That is the reason I camp. just "Leave the light on to find the tent!"
:D :drink :drink

Oh...Why Bourbon? I prefer a single malt scotch. :thumb

See ya there.

[alien_hitchhiker]

Sounds like fun! I'll plan on dropping by with my flask of sipping tequila.

I only drink it for medicinal purposes though - it's a sure cure for sobriety.

:D :D

So Dave I will know you and the rest of the Forumistas by the stack of bourbon you are so thoughtfully providing?
And by the raucous crowd around the stack of bourbon?
Or shall we all paint our butts red?
:type

[BradfordBenn]

Still up for a get together, but just realized that this thread is an older one. If we get together at this time, it will be in the middle of Lonesome George. Time to come up with another time......

[DockingPilot]

Im there!

[Oznay]

Put me in coach,I'll be ready.. :thumb

[manicmechanic]

See the sticky about the Forum Frenzy/Beer Garden shift

[The_Veg]

I'm with Kenny on the single-malt. But I'll be more than happy taste any Bourbon offered! :D

[lorazepam]

I think the thursday evening meeting time proposed my Manic Mechanic is a good idea. I will bring some woodford reserve and some tequila, since they are left over from the solstace ride.

We dont have to be sober for this do we? I plan on sterilizing my innards with healthy doses of alcohol during the rally, and my be listing a bit to port that late in the afternoon.

maybe we should help each other out,
I list a little starboard, and between the 2 of us we'll be OK (as long as we avoid the poop deck that is)


wasn't this thread started for the the 2003 rallY

Yea Mark, I did a search and thought this was another thread. It turns out that there is not a formal Forum Frenzy for 2005. Yet. We do have a winner though of Thursday 7PM at the Beer Tent. I will post a new thread.
