GLB Swap & Meet

[stackenem]

Where is conference room H. at in Novi?

[fiker]

I can't do the 22nd.

Somebody had mentioned selling some spinning rods before that I wanted to take a look at too.
PM me if you're interested.

[huston]

I think I don't have anything to sell, but I would like to meet a few people. Count me in.

[Hooksetter]

I will be there. Are we doing this inside conference room H or outside in the parking lot? Where exactly is it? I've never been there.

[djkimmel]

Only been there once. Hooters is way in the back of the mall on the NW corner off Novi Rd. North of I-96. I found it easiest to go in off of 12 Mile Rd from the Beck Rd exit.

If you come off I-96 on to Novi Rd, go north. Turn left on 12 Mile Rd and keep going until you get to the end of the mall shops - last drive, or no earlier than the drive leading to Dick's Sporting Goods.

You have to go straight back to the back parking lot. Hooters is in the middle of all the buildings kind of behind the big movie theater. Not really a road past Hooters, just large walkways.

I'm not sure if that Hooters has a separate room or not.  Never been to one.  But I'd imagine not.  I think the original thinking was too meet up in the parking lot for the swap, then go in for some food afterwards.  Sound right guys?

BTW - If you're coming from East of Novi, take 96 to the Novi Road exit, but when you exit, don't turn North or South, go straight and stay in the right lane and head into the Fountain Walk entrance.  Take that till the road comes to a "T".  Turn left at the "T" and take it to the first right.  Turn into the lot and head to the middle.  You'll see BW3 and you'll know you're in the right area.  I suggest the lot in front of BW3 so that we have a common landmark.  How about we all meet up in that lot on the side by the freeway? 

That is near the Hooters correct?

Or is there a lot on the other side by the theatre that would be better?  Please correct me if there's a better spot to meet.

The lot in front of BW's gets pretty full on Sat. afternoons.  The area on the side behind the Emagine theater is usually wide open.  I will be there with some goodies from some boat and motor manufacturers.

Sounds good.  Let's all meet in the lot behind the eMagine theatre then.    Look for all the GLB stickers.

[blakstr1]

So according to the official Great Lakes Bass tally board we are up to 8 attending on 4/22 behind the eMagine Theatre.

Hopefully I will be there also, especially if MR. Longbeard cooperates.

[Cheetam]

I can't remember if I replied or not, but I will be there.  I'll have a bunch of tackle and an assortment of nice (used) rods and reels.

*UPDATE* again

The count is to 11...

[dartag]

pretty sure i will be there for a while.. everything i own should be in a BFI dumpster,? ?but i do have cash...? after this week?i will be buying a " Poorboy " autographed photo for sure..

[Revtro]

Looks like we're getting a good group to show up.  I don't have tons of stuff to trade, but I do have some boat items that I can bring in addition to a modest box of lures and stuff.

Just for those who don't want to re-read 4 pages of this post to know the time and date...
April 22nd
5pm
The lot behind the eMagine Theatre in Novi at Fountain Walk.

[Hooksetter]

I've got about 30 unopened bags of plastic, another 30 bags missing 1 or 2 pieces, such as Zoom, Manns, Culprit, Lucky Strike, etc.

I've got 2 used casting combos, 1 new 800 lb. Fulton swivel jack, 1 barely used Team Stratos life vest ( orange ), a spooling station, 14 black leather embossed Winchester photo albums, 7 large and 7 small, brand new.

I'll be adding some more stuff this weekend.

[robtheboatman]

If anybody needs anything for their boat, let me know, and I'll bring it with me.
Rob

[fiker]

I can't be there.  Even though it was my idea. 

Anybody feel sorry for me?

I didn't think so.

[Revtro]

Bummer Fike!  I'll eat 6 extra wings in your honor...   

[5alive]

Rob,

I could use another foot and 25 more horses!!!!!!!

[Bassman24]

Jeff, I think he was talking for the boat. 

Wish I could make it.  Already booked that evening.  Have fun.
