December 20th Meet & Greet

[LagunaRoadster]

When: 4:00pm - December 20th, 2008
Where: Mellow Mushroom
4058 Peachtree Rd NE
Atlanta, GA 30319
(404) 266-1661‎

Why: To meet up with like Miata minded people.

What do you think?

[Doppelgänger]

We met up at TacoMac last time and other than the service, the meet went rather well. We have corporate sponsorship via the Mellow Mushroom in Snellville (Fight Club reference anyone? ) lol, if we are willing to make the drive which isn't all that bad at all. There are places like 3 Dollar Cafe, Frontera Mex Mex and Wild Wing Cafe that also have good food and have multiple locations.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Be aware that if you are participating in the Secret Santa thing, we are planning on meeting either the 13th or the 14th to exchange gifts.

[Doppelgänger]

kill 2 birds with one alka-seltzer?

[RotorNutFD3S]

Kinda what I was thinking.
Why aren't you participating, Mr. Scrooge? :p

[Doppelgänger]

Oh, I completely forgot it was going on... i'll chime in on that thread in a bit.

[LagunaRoadster]

any of those places sound great. whatever works for everyone... I'm horrible at organizing a good place to meet up.

[mustangtomiata]

I'll be on break by then so count me in on meeting up, I'd like to meet some more people off of the site anyway.

...I found out I have my last final on the 15th so I am staying down here until then...DAMN

[deerock]

ill be there. maybe not for long. i am going to a concert that night! :D

[Sawyer]

I could probably come.
I don't think I have anything going on that day.

[MeFryRice]

I can make that...just let me know where.

[matredd]

works for me. I haven't been able to make it out to anything yet.

[Doppelgänger]

TTT!!!

[RotorNutFD3S]

I'm all for making this a meet and Secret Santa gift exchange!!!

[LagunaRoadster]

I'm all for making this a meet and Secret Santa gift exchange!!!

that's cool with me. just pick a place and BAM! it's set.

[redrumracer]

sounds interesting, i might be able to make it.

[Oblio]

if it's not far from the house I'll run over with the bambino

[Doppelgänger]

Sounds fine.

I think we'd enjoy Frontera Mex Mex. Food is good, plenty of parking available...but the best location fort everyone is 7190 Jimmy Carter Blvd, Norcross, GA‎ - (770) 441-3488‎

There is a Mellow Mushroom just outside Buckhead on p'tree @ the Brookhaven Marta station, which has a good central location. Or we can go to the one in Snellville to support a forum member...if the drive doesn't bother anyone to drive that far. 4058 Peachtree Road Atlanta, GA 30319.

3 Dollar Cafe is good too... and there are 2 of them on Roswell Rd right near Buckhead...which would be the most centralized meeting location for everyone.

Any of them will be fine... start voicing your opinions!!!

[MeFryRice]

I personally don't want to drive all the way to Snellville so Mellow Mushroom won't work. Any of the other three will be fine though.

[RotorNutFD3S]

All for supporting a forum member's place of business, but that is one hell of a drive that I don't want to make either.

[Doppelgänger]

OK, i'm sure we'll be arranging a special day to flood the MM in Snellville :D


So between Fontera and 3 Dollar or the MM @ Brookhaven... who likes what? (not trying to tell everyone what to do.. but someone has to take control of this ship :lol:)

[JennB]

Personally, I like MM in Brookhaven. I'm not too sure about parking at the other two.


I'm also aaaaaalll about another trip to Meehans.

[MeFryRice]

It's been a while since I've been to Meehans.

[MeFryRice]

I really like MM the last time I was there (tech day) and wouldn't mind going back so if other people are willing to drive, I'll join at the Brookhaven location.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Are they all in the Brookhaven area? I'll make the drive whatever the distance really, so it's more of who has the cheapest food for me.

[MeFryRice]

Every time I've been to 3 dollar, the food has never been good.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Yeah $3 has always seemed a bit overpriced for the quality. Eons ago did they actually cost $3?

[Doppelgänger]

Well, it seems like MM Brookhaven will be the place to be.... yes?

[redrumracer]

what the owner says.

[Georgia Cracker]

MM Brookhaven works for me.

[matredd]

Wait... so this is just a few miles down 141 from the MM at that crappy movie theater across from Publix/Target?

[RotorNutFD3S]

Oh, and wherever this occurs, I won't be there for a long, long time. Have some plans that night.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

As above :)

[JennB]

Wait... so this is just a few miles down 141 from the MM at that crappy movie theater across from Publix/Target?


No. That is Norcross.

[matredd]

No. That is Norcross.
Thanks.

[deerock]

im confused as to where were meeting up :( help!

[metalman]

im confused as to where were meeting up :( help!

Its being done purposely...they dont want teenage ricers there. :lol:


j/k..... ;)

[deerock]

:lol:

you so funni!

[jester911]

[QUOTE=metalman;15588]Its being done purposely...they dont want teenage ricers there. :lol:




That is sort of redundant isn't it?:lol:

[deerock]

i dont think so? ^

[jester911]

Okay so how many middle aged ricers do you know?:biggrin:

[deerock]

quite a few actually. lol. but its not many. :lol:

[jester911]

Yeah I voted against it right after I voted for it. I know what you mean:p

[Doppelgänger]

So 4pm, Sat. Dec. 13th at the Mellow Mushroom next to the Brookhaven MARTA station? Laguna... you need to add this to the OP :)

[MeFryRice]

It's about damn time we figure everything out! :D

[Grantri]

OK , that will work for me/ us (dunno if the wife will make this one)

It's a pretty good ride for me, hoping for top down weather!

[RotorNutFD3S]

Any way we can push this to the following Saturday (Dec. 20)? We have to move our gift exchange to allow for people that are ordering online, etc., so we're changing our meeting day to that date.
Input?

[Doppelgänger]

I personally, don't have any problems with that.

[MeFryRice]

I'm fine with that as well.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I personally, don't have any problems with that.

You also need to post in the Gift Ideas thread in the Serious Discussion section sir.

[Georgia Cracker]

Can't make that one. Maybe my son can. Y'all have fun.

[Synthmob]

Okay so how many middle aged ricers do you know?:biggrin:

I could become one - easily - and was slowly turning into that direction after I first bought my Miata until I began seeing how much ricers are ridiculed...

I know one "Grandad Ricer" that's a few years older than myself... he has absolutely every possible spot you can put chrome trim on an NA installed. He finally got the supercharger to make it go as fast as it looked.

:D

[jester911]

Well alrighty then.:rolleyes:

[deerock]

im down with the 20th.

[Synthmob]

Someone should edit the thread topic header to reflect new date, maybe?

[RotorNutFD3S]

I'll get it now. Was just making sure most everyone was ok with the date change first. :)

[LagunaRoadster]

That works. I see my post has been edited to reflect that as well. lol.
It'll be at Mellow Mushroom next to the Brookhaven MARTA station.

4058 Peachtree Rd NE
Atlanta, GA 30319

[Grantri]

OK.. The 20th works even better for me as this Saturday commences the "Annual Smoking Of The Turkeys"...I have at least 25 birds to smoke, wrap and deliver

[MeFryRice]

cool beans.

[Sawyer]

Sounds good to me!

[Doppelgänger]

Roll call?

[RotorNutFD3S]

In before the lock... Oh wait.

[mustangtomiata]

I'm in.

[Sawyer]

Steve and I are in.

[Synthmob]

If the weather is as nice as it was at about 7 pm tonight while I was riding around with the top down, I very well may drive up... it's supposed to be 74 and 75 degrees tomorrow & Wed. and I'm not due back to work until Friday!

[CaveRacing]

I should be there.

[LagunaRoadster]

I'll be there. My father may come as well.

[Doppelgänger]

Good deal...sounds like it'll be a good turnout.


(usps better have my SS present here by then)

[RotorNutFD3S]

UPS says that mine is out for delivery right now.

[Grantri]

Lesse.... I can go with my wife to take her mother to the airport...or I can go have pizza & beer with the Miata folks... damn tuff decision..I'll be there

[RotorNutFD3S]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Sawyer]

Haha good choice!

[Doppelgänger]

[matredd]

[Doppelgänger]

So far we have ~12 people.... not bad.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Sean should be coming as well. Pending some final details.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

:mrt: bah well screw y'all I'll be at Stoke City vs Blackburn! Completely off my head aswell.

[Doppelgänger]

Stop being anti-meet and sto pby before going to your other location.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Oh aye that'll be easy to do when I'm on the other side of the Atlantic :lol:

[RotorNutFD3S]

Take a speedboat. :D

[metalman]

:mrt: bah well screw y'all I'll be at Stoke City vs Blackburn! Completely off my head aswell.

Blackburn you say?? That name is so familiar to me. ;)

[Doppelgänger]

yeah, get one of those rocket packs....off ebay.

[deerock]

is the secret santa thing gonna be at this same location?

[Sawyer]

Yep!

[deerock]

TIGHT! thanks!

[CaveRacing]

I may have spoken too soon. As of right now, it looks like I need to be somewhere around 5:15 which doesn't leave much time for me at the meet. So, I may not make this one.

[Doppelgänger]

Tomorrow is the day!

[matredd]

we should change the date again. it's fun.

[simontibbett]

Maybe I should go if the Athens Mountain Run falls through.

[deerock]

woop wooop two hours! ill see you all there!!

[LagunaRoadster]

i wont be there. i got assaulted last night.

[ben91]

i wont be there. i got assaulted last night.???!!! You OK?
More info please, if you don't mind. You can PM it if you wish.

[wildfire0310]

i wont be there. i got assaulted last night.

wow man that sucks. I hope your ok man.

[LagunaRoadster]

This is what happened:
friday night: So I was dating this lady from work right, and we went on a coffee date 2 weeks ago, went out for breakfast thursday, and went to dinner last night. She had mentioned a crazy psycho boyfriend, that had no car, and was angsty. I obviously underestimated that brief description.
Anyways, we were in her room watching a movie, and messing around, and then BAM her door got kicked down, then her bedroom door. She was freaking out, he came in and punched me several times. Not cool. I grabbed my ****, stole a bag of frozen vegatables for my eye and said I'm out, you can deal with this. Went to my friends house, then went back to see if she was okay, she seemed fine, said she called the cops and they told him to leave. I called them and filed my report, they took some pictures, and I told them I wanted to press charges. They said they were going to go get him.
Saturday: I got a courtesy call from Cobb Police dept. today. They stated the guy got released on bond. Lols... he spent the night in jail.. har har.

LMFAO owned.

JUST THE NIGHT? That's nothing. Crazy boyfriends never stop, never talk to that girl again. Over the summer dude somehow found me and his ex out at dinner and tried to shoot my *** in the parking lot, beat her, came after me, I yelled at his *** before he hit me told him I am not gonna talk to his girl again, and I got manly respect lol, and he shook me hand and said he appreciated it, I left, called the cops, they stayed at my house for the night LMFAO dude had a gun, and they followed her all around until she went home.

[MeFryRice]

I agree with you Simon. There is nothing you can really do against a EX like hers. If you call the cops, you'll only piss him off even more and you'll have to watch your back from here on out. It's sad but so damn true.

[wildfire0310]

Dude that sucks man. Glad your ok and nothing else happen it could have been worse. I kinda agree to maybe stay clear of her. One night in jail is nothing and won't stop a guy like that.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I have to say, I was surprised as hell when you called me and said you weren't making the meet... I saw the pictures, and man, I hope you feel better soon. That was nasty. Stay far away from her, that's not a cool situation at all.

[metalman]

Stay far away from her, that's not a cool situation at all.

For sure!!!!!

[Doppelgänger]

Wait, co-worker? Oh that'll be odd come monday. Hope ya get better soon mang.

[Grantri]

Hoily ****!

Scary stuff..

[jester911]

Glad you are okay. Reminds me of a similar situation that happened way back when.
Best to leave that girl alone.

[Doppelgänger]

Send her and her ex to the Jerry Springer show :lol:

[simontibbett]

More like send her ex to jail.

[Doppelgänger]

You don't let much get past ya, do you?:rolleyes:

[simontibbett]

You talking to me?

[LagunaRoadster]

Ya, I'm done with that whole situation. Fortunately we work opposite shifts, so I never have to see her ;)
So let's be fair, Here's a picture:

Since Eric got to see and ya'll didn't.

[RotorNutFD3S]

http://lolcritters.com/gallery/albums/userpics/arg.jpg

Sorry... had to man. :D

[deerock]

dang dude he socked it to you good. im glad you pressed charges. ida done the same thing.

[simontibbett]

WOW

[Sawyer]

Ouch! Heal up soon man!

[LagunaRoadster]

Eric -well if it was halloween, I would have no problem, outfit already picked out and such... either way, everyone loves an LOLcat
I'm sure this will heal up and all will be good.

[wildfire0310]

damn man that a nice one.

[Doppelgänger]

On a side note, the meet went GREAT! I think we all had a good time at MM and Nicks house. Hopefully most meets in the future will work this well!

[simontibbett]

When's the next one?

[MeFryRice]

Geez Stephen (do you spell yours Stephen or Steve like me?). Hope it doesn't take long to heal.

Was your Monday akward?

[simontibbett]

Geez Stephen (do you spell yours Stephen or Steve like me?). Hope it doesn't take long to heal.

Was your Monday akward?

I was thinking the same thing. We got y0 back.

[MeFryRice]

I was just thinking stephen, your making the same smile as your smiley! ;)

[Grantri]

Dude, thats a first class A-1 shiner!!!

As for the meet , I enjoyed it too and I appreciate my SS gift, thanks!

...sorry I cut out so quick after dinner, had a sick kid at the house

[LagunaRoadster]

Haha, Ya it's Stephen. I go by Steve by a few people, though. Haha, the smiley suits my current face well. Fortunately it's not swollen shut anymore, and I dont have to strain to keep it open, it's just "colorful" now.
Work was interesting. I dont have to work with crazy, as we have opposite shifts. As for the rest of the employees there, most didnt notice, and the rest got my made up story that I got in a wreck. I didnt want to get into all that mess with them...

Sorry to thread jack here. As for the meet, I look forward to the next one, and sounds like this one went well!

[simontibbett]

You should have said something better then a wreck, like you tried to take on four huge dudes and won but got some scars as well, or you were riding your superbike with no helmet laid it down at 120 and only somehow got a black eye.

[LagunaRoadster]

I told someone that I got attacked by a bear while camping and then ate him.. but I told a few different stories to people actually.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Wow man, hope you recover well.

And I hope the meet went well also!

[RotorNutFD3S]

The meet went great! We ate some food, opened some presents, and turbo'd a Miata. What more could you ask for from a meet? :D

[LagunaRoadster]

hmm, maybe next meet we could roll my black miata's fenders ;)

[RotorNutFD3S]

Whatcha want to roll them with?

[LagunaRoadster]

preferably a fender roller, but gumby is a slacker when it comes to writing me back on CR.net. so whatever works. I have a heat gun.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Well I'm completely down with having tech time at meets. :D

[LagunaRoadster]

ok. you plan this time :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

No, you failed to make the last meet and I take the blame for turning it into a tech meet at Nick's. You get to plan it again, and again, and again, until you finally make one. :lol:

[LagunaRoadster]

hahaha
