off topic is just what we do here...

how hard is it to set up such an event?

 

It's not hard at all. It's just really really tedious! Not to mention I'm an Entertainment Coordinator on the side of my daily grind. I've been setting up shows, venues, and special eventsof every sort since 1994.

 

now if you go to the shootout, i will be there. only about 45 minutes from norwalk. everybody should go there.

 

thats cool, well good to have you here, just dont pass me in posts or i'll have to find you and stomp off your CF front lip :-D

 

Id like to go, but im not sure Ill make it. I have a lot of stuff going on this year. What is the date of the dsm shootout?

BANNED BUSINESS's

Norwalk Arby's. REMEMBER DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY OR EVEN GO INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE NORWALK ARBY'S. ARBY's doesn't want us there, they do not like our "crowd".

Wakeman Hardware. Another business that doesn't get it. The owner of the hardware store also owns the vacant lot next to our shop, this year it was roped off as he will not allow us to park there, even after I mowed this property for 2 full years for him as a (free) favor. Do not visit the store, do not use his bathroom.......he doesn't like that either. He is also one of the last or at this point probably THE last remaining business is our small town that is fighting having the street closed off for our event.

 

Ya, Im going down to Bristol for the nextel cup race the following weekend. So I dont really see it happening for me. But Ill plan on it next year.

 

No problem. Hahaha...what carbon fiber front lip are you talking about though? It's a Seat Cupra R lip and it's not carbon fiber.

You're going to see a NASCAR race over the DSM/EVO Shootout? Shame on you. That's cool man. I know Bristol is one of the biggest/slowest races of the season. Have fun and hope it doesn't rain this year for the Shootout.

Poor Steph, your thread's gone so off-topic.

 

lol it's cool! I don't mind.. Like everyone said.. things always tend to get off topic around here lol. I can't wait to see the rest of the JAX pics tho!! GODDDDD!!

 

Oh well it looks cf.....well you get the point anyway :-P
