2005 CAS trip was a blast.

IIRC, Straight6, NewmanJ, JAlfred, AdotOdot, and I went down.

This year we ought to have a larger crowd and the milwaukee scene has grown.

Who is interested in attending?

I am going and will post the date I am going (prob a Saturday) (Show runs 2/10-2/19) by Jan 25 (end of the first week of the spring semester)

With no Monday/Friday classes :redspot , I can even go Sunday.

Also do we want to have a dinner/lunch? (vote in the poll, please)

As I said, I will let you know as soon as Spring starts and I have an idea when deadlines are.....

Depending on the stops that we make, and if we stop for lunch, my take is that we leave Waukesha area (goerkes seems like a good meeting place) around 10:00 AM. (IIRC, we left @ 10:00 last year and it took us 4 hours :eek:
to get to the show with stops, inc lunch.)

If enough Appleton and Madison peeps want to attend, perhaps we can meet around 11:00 @ Goerkes.

And this is definitely one meet where you can bring your friends and family. :redspot

WI peeps - you know you can contact me via PM/email/cell/IM

Look forward to seeing you all. Been way too long.

Deadline

While it would be great to get as many people as possible, I do have to jump on this to plan other commitments - So I will let you know what day is the most popular on January 31.

if u guys from wiscy are goin down, maybe some of us from michigan would wanna go too

I'm interested again, but I think I can only go the first weekend (or during the week :)).
I can't wait to see a ///M6 in person.
-A.O.

A.O., you are still at Northwestern, right?

MI, IL, and MN people are welcome to join us - For MI and IL - if you want to meet us at the show - IDK - I am sure something can be worked out.

I go every year w/some friends from school so plan on me being there. As for what date, I'm not sure at this point. I'll report back later.

I'm down. I usually head down with my wife, but if we can get a carevan of BMW's heading down, that would be awesome. In for any date.

Yeah I'm still at NU. Depending on when you guys go I'll try to meet you down there to save you the hastle of stopping in Evanston.

hmm i guess i'm in if i can fit it into my schedule. and i agree, no stopping in weird places in illinois to make the trip like 1.5 hours longer than it should be. no offence, but we got there so late, it seemed like we didnt have enough time.

and i cant drive this time, last time my clutch died right as i came into town going home. i dont want to get others stuck because of my old crappy car.

Well my thoughts are that we can make 2 stops

We can meet in Waukesha
and then at Hooters as last year - If you (Dan) can get to Hooters, that'd be great - Otherwise we can see what arrangements we can make.

IDK if Chach or Branko wants to come out - I will email peeps soon.

And then stop for lunch.

Assume that we leave Milwaukee at 11:30 and have lunch, we should hit the show by 2:00.

As for cars - what I can do, is ask my mom or dad if I can use their ride - A TL or Camry is not exactly exciting, but I can squeeze more folks in one of those than I can in a Accord Coupe.

I'll be at the show on Saturday the 11th. I've got about 10 other people with me. We're staying at Loew's above the House of Blues.

Are you heading down on the 10th? Hopefully we can meet up at the show, I will PM you my cell.

Who knows? If we all finish around the same time, we can get some food outside McCormick together.

I have friends from Wausau, Minneapolis and Appleton meeting at my place in Madison on the 10th. We're going out in Madison on Friday night, then heading down to the show Saturday morning. We don't have any plans while down there, except to the see the show.

Sometime in the morning. I guess it depends how late we are out on Friday night. :beermugdr

Hi guys I'm interested in meeting you and driving down but I'll be out of town the first weekend. I'll be in Crystal Lake or Chicago and definitely be going on the second weekend

Sorry we won't be able to meet up - looks like the 11th is the weekend CAS is going down.

REmember

Friends and family are ENCOURAGED to attend!!!!!!

Usually our meets just consist of the Bf.cr's, but at this event, bring everybody!!!!!:redspot

im down forsure this year...finnaly just got the new engine in my car :) Ill talk to my crew and see if any of them want to come, which i am sure they will. Maybe my bro with his audi will come too...idk but im forsure in.

The 11th is the best day for me as well. I'm driving the winter car now (97 Legacy wagon) so I can seat 4-5 no problem. Sachin I'll PM or call your cell when I figure out exact times/locations.etc.

-Jason

guy from appleton interested :wave

i took off for work on feb 11th because there is a MuteMath concert in Chicago that night...... but im thinkin bimmer meet might be a better way to go since i havnt gone to one.....

I might be interested as well. I know some people that might want to drive since I don't have my car now that I'm in college. I'm in Platteville right now west of madison. Would be fun to go since I've only gone to 2 meets and haven't been to one in a while.

Edit: dont forget that I was there too last year :P

as of right now im coming forsure, and i have a friend coming with his evo. A few others too im sure

i think he means take the madison exit...bc if your comin down on 41 to 45, then 45 to 94 you would take the madison exit.

idk what i mean lol im coming from appleton so w/e makes the most sense ill do.....

I'm 95% in as well. Can someone post up the Itinerary? I'll be heading out from Madtown, so if anyone else is leaving from madison to waukasha, let me know, we can drive there together.

I'll post an Itenerary and final count on Friday, with specific instruction for the 94 off ramp to Goerke's for coming from Madison! :)

My group is up to 14 now....all sharing a hotel room in Chicago!!

:( my chance of going is slim now.... ill post back tonight with the answer

22$ so far

Estimate $12 for lunch, esp if we eat in Kenosha
$10 to enter
$15 to park (IIRC - not more than $15 - website does not say)
$$$ - any expense at the show. With your BMW key you can get into the VIP lounge, I think. I have a Benz key :devillook and they let me into the Benz lounge. :redspot

Gas

And if you plan to eat on the way home.

Tolls are rediculous - $1.50 each way

I would guess $50-60.

VIP lounge?

Whats in there? Anything special?

any idea on how late everyone is staying?

In the Benz lounge you get free snacks and soda. I expect the same is true in the BMW lounge.

Goerke's
If you are coming from Madison (appleton, sorry guys, IDK)

Take 94E
You will pass all 5 Waukesha Exits
The next to exits are Brookfield

The first Brookfield Exit:

Exit # 297
Exit Name: 164/JJ/18
Brookfield
Waukesha

TAKE THAT EXIT

Take the first right off the offramp

18E and JJ

As you exit the offramp, take a right turn.
You are on JJ.

You will see a set of traffic lights.
Stay in the right lane. Do NOT turn right.
You want to turn left on to E18.

When you make the left turn, from the right lane, get to the far right lane.

At the first light, make a right turn. That is barker road.

Goerke's is on your right, and the entrance is by the traffic lights.

I will send out my cell # tonight.

I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
