Okay gang, to celebrate the new house that we're getting (long story...don't ask...), I'm having a Johio-Coil-Whoever-in-the-area-that-can-come-can-come party. This will be a Johio meet, so I'm hoping to get some members of the Johio gang from the outskirts in town. "What's Speedway?" you say? Speedway is in Indianapolis, to be specific, it's the town around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (go figure...). To celebrate the fact that we'll have tons more room, I want as many people that can to come. If people wanted to travel a decent distance, we'll have room, and maybe even some bed space. Not ours...another bed(s). Depending on the turnout, we may be able to do some fun stuff that show some molding techniques, if some people want, maybe how to photograph your joes, a place to show your custom work, PS2 video game tournaments (Madden, GT, Burnout, etc...) for prizes, if people donate, we'll have door prizes, I'm trying to get a Ping Pong Table, so we can have a tournament there, if weather's nice, we can have S6 Glider races, a cornhole tournament, movies to watch, food to be eaten (pitch-in prefferred, but not necessarily), plus, just to hang out and talk. Some of us haven't seen each other in a while, so this could be a good time to hook up again. If you're interested, please post here. I'll be in contact with you as we go along. Right now, the goal date is January 20. That will give you enough time to schedule off for the day if need be, or to find a babysitter. Let's see if we can have a fun little gathering!

I'd like to get as many Joe fans as possible, 12", 3 3/4", and Sigma 6 fans all welcome. So, feel free to come, whatever your interest is! I'm going to be posting this at several boards, so spread the word!

ANy of the Joe Gang from up this way going? I'd really love to make it, but can;t afford a plane ticket right now, and don;t really want to drive down myself (Though I'd be happy to chip in for gas).

I should be able to finagle the time off, since I'm working like a dog overtime right now.

I know a handful of the Dayton gang are going, but I'm not sure about anyone else. Ophelia said she was interested... Beachy said he was, but that doesn't help your situation. Wink

C'mon all... Who else is in for this? Dune? O? Nova? Jayv2? Bueller?

Unfortunately, I'm relatively close to Dayton so I don't know how much more help I'd be. Bull, I'd give you a ride in a heartbeat if I was near Cleveland.

Had a GREAT time. Glad to see some old faces again and finally meet some new.

For those of you who missed this one, you HAVE to make the next one.
