This thread is getting pretty long.

I wonder if we should have another thread that only has specifics:

Time
Place
Events
Expected people

One person from each city could post who will be attending from that city and edit their own posts as needed.

 

I thought about that, but many people have this thread linked to their siggy on different forums, and I hate to lose the subscriptions to this one


As a mod, do you mind going in and deleting the organizational clutter? I don't care how many posts you delete of mine that have to do with the time/place/date ect...

I bet StePHen feels the same.

 

I don't mind...but we have already done that once before, I don't want to arbitrarily decide who's posts are worthy, and there is still a long time before the event, this thread may get hundreds more posts by then.

I'm thinking that a summary, sticky and maybe locked thread with < a dozen posts would make it easier for people to get to the bottom line of what is going on. Everyone would continue to post ideas and planning in this thread.

 

you're the boss... go ahead and do what you think is best. Personally, I think having the first post of this one, continually updated with important info, is just as good than having two threads

 

I'm not the boss. I'm just here help out if I can.
There is no reason my idea should carry any more weight than anyone elses.

I don't plan on doing anything, unless some others say they want it.

 

I added those names to my list in the first post.

Yes, it is early to get an accurate head count. But hopefully seeing a list will encourage people to come, since they'll see that it wouldn't just be 5 local ATGO guys showing up.

 

exactly... I count over 40 people so far... that's VERY exciting.

I think as the event draws closer, we could get 75-100 third gens there. wouldn't that be AMAZING?

 

I just thought of a cool way to promote this outside of TGO and the other TG forums...

When we start the swap meet thread, we can go to the craigslist for each major city in Texas, and put a listing in the parts section.

In this listing we can direct people's attention to the thread listing the parts, and also talk up the gathering. It wouldn't get flagged (I don't think) because it actually would be about selling parts, and at the same time it would attract people that check craigslist on a daily basis, but may not visit TGO.

Anbody else have any other promation ideas?

 

yea i might leave my son at home cuz i dont like to take children in my car unless their like 3yrs lol but im down ..texas third gen gatherin sounds great !!
i have two brothers with third gens who might come along if work permits em !

 

i think one with speifics would be good. show when where and the might be cruise. possible swap meet or parts deal also.

 

we're going to start the swap meet thread in the south central classified section, and StePHen can put all really important information in the first post of this thread.

 

Yes sir!

 

Fair enough...

 

i hope someone from Houston brings and ls1 3rdgen

 

yes i would go with killeen/ft hood area. prob the convention center we have here would work real good.

 

you're in luck! Georgetown is very close to Killeen. Won't take you long at all to get there. you know anybody else from that area that might be interested?

 

TY & I have been talking about it - I see lots of 3rd Gens around Fort Hood, so I'm hoping I can get a few more together for the event!

 

I'm in - Put me down. Located in Austin.

 

count me in x2 iroc and formula present

 

Where you from? Nothing in your Profile on the left. Lemme know & I'll add ya.

 

That's our friendly neighbors from San Antonio. Pancho and his better half.

 

Scott!!!! Do you REALLY think I don't know where your from????

Your one of the original ATGO members, like me, from what....7 years ago????

 

yea albani knows me well! high five i also told this other guy who frequents my job alot and her almost went in his pants when i told about the gathering, and it being all third gens. i also have a couple of other people here in sa that will follow me up. i will keep u guys posted.

 

If it wasnt a 4 hour drive i would show up to this, LOL.

 

more like 3 from houston. Unless you are down by galveston

 

Well, mapquest said 4 and 10 minutes from Conroe, not to mention the unwanted possibility of breaking down all the way out there and 4.30 gears.

 

from conroe? ug... that's one of those "no man's lands" without a direct path from there to austin.

For what it's worth, my mapping program says 3 hours, 17 minutes, but you have to go up to madisonville, go down to Bryan, up to Hearne, and then take 79 over to round rock

 

oh wait... try it this way... take 105 over to navasota, and then 190 over to hearne. That takes the trip down to 169 miles, or 3 hours

 

ill go i should be able to make it as long as i can afford the gas lol so ill say im a possible but 90% for sure gonna come because i have been trying to go to something having to invovle my third gen since i got it so yea !

 

I plan on being there. That will be my first road trip in the Camaro.

 

I plan on going with my 84 Trans Am and I know my neighbor would go as well with his 89 GTA. We are both DFW people.

 

I plan to be there. Will be my first. Looking forward to it.

 

Looks like you are pretty much smack dab in the middle between DFW & ATGO. Which list should I add your name too, too keep track of # of people coming, so we can tell the restaurant what to expect?

 

Austin sounds good

 

Cool! we're up over 50 people now.

eventually we will ahve to not only get a head count of how many people are coming, but also ask if anybody is bringing friend or family with them to lunch, just so we have a good count for Duke's

 

Jekyll & Hyde will be on a trailer to get there, since I neglected her during the wedding and house hunting.

Add one 800+ HP vette to the group of cars, although not a third gen, still a car enthusiast.


Head count for my group:
Me + Wife
Jeff + girlfriend (possibly)

 

Stephan, I'm part of NTTGA for the list in the first post and "Damoncaravanman" is also part of NTTGA.

 

Hello
I have a couple of friends from the DFW area that are possibles
David Wiley = 1992 RS Camaro
Jason Kellum = 1992 RS Camaro
Nathan = 1992 Z28 Camaro

 

excellent! Spread the word!

 

Added!

Total stands at 58, with just over 3 months to go. Will we break 100?

 

Hey guys just saw the post i should have my car running by then so count me in

 

Check Post #1....Where should I add your name?

 

That would be AWESOME!

 

he's a DFW guy

 

Dang, if we have 100 camaros in one place, That's worthy of a magazine writeup!

 

58!!!!!!!!!!!! geeze. never thought that many would show up. wow. this is going to be pretty cool.

 

61 with guests (known guests so far)

PM your # of guests, so that we can get an accurate head count, for seating purposes. I don't wanna tell him "75 seats" then we need 150 seats (2 per member)!

 

me and my wonderful wife. 2

 

I'd really like to go, but it's kinda up to my parents since I'm still only 16. Haha.
So I won't know til we get closer.
Would probly bring at least 4 if I can.

 

that's so true.... As the number creaps up, I'll stay in contact with the manager of Duke's and make sure we're ok.
