GLB Swap & Meet

[5alive]

So was I!!LOL

[Revtro]

Guys, it looks like the TBF meeting will intefere with the planned swap meet.  A lot of guys including Lt. Dan will have to be at the TBF meeting that was just announced.  The idea was brought up to have the swap meet later in the evening, but then it'll be dark and I don't see a good swap meeting happening in the dark.  So, how about we postpone it to another weekend so most of the guys can make it?

Or, we could do it at 8pm if we can get our own room at the restaurant or even if we had to go to a different restaurant.  Just a thought.

Thoughts?

The following weekend is the C&R opener...I would rather be fishing than at a swap meet, but that's just me

How about making it earlier in the day so guys can swap gear and then head to the TBF meeting?

[Revtro]

Great idea.  How about noon since it's a Saturday anyway?

[djkimmel]

I hope this works out - really sorry. If you could do it a little earlier, that could work out. PoorBoy hasn't weighed in on how much clout he has. Maybe he could get stadium lights hooked up?

[McCarter]

Clout?  I do not have the clout.  It must be another rumor started by my foes to jeopordize the integrity of my reputation.  Okay, i admit it.  i did have a minor case of the clout but i seen a doctor and they gave me some pills and its all good now.  last time i go to a back alley massage parlor.

Ok, I want to make sure we are all on the same page. 

We are still good with the April 22 date, correct?

I just got off the phone with the manager of Hooters in Novi.  We are clear for take off on the GLB Swap & Meet. 

We can start earlier and if you have to leave for the meeting, so be it.  More wings for the rest of us.  JK.  What i meant to say was more Hooters girls for the rest of us.

We will meet up in the back of the parking lot in fountain walk.  I will make up a few signs to point you guys in the right direction.  After we are done, we go inside for some food and drinks.

Yolan, the manager, is gonna hook us up with some free wings to help keep the costs down.  Make sure if you see him, ya thank him.  He is a good guy and wants to be involved with us fisherman as much as he can. 

Pootie Pooh, i need a chew!

Sounds good.  All we  need is a time then and to make sure everyone who wanted to come knows about the time change.  Yes, it looks like the 22nd is the only date we have that will work.  So our best option is to change the time.

I suggest either noon or 3pm.  I can do any time that day.  I don't have a ton of stuff to trade, but am looking forward to meeting everyone.

[yukonjack2]

My suggestion would be 2:00 pm.  Enough time for the swap and wings of course, yet not have to rush to make it to the TBF mtg? 

anyone?

[McCarter]

How about this.

We can meet anytime after 11 am.  I live right down the road (bonus) so i will in the area anyway.  I am not going to make any signs up.  Just look for my truck in the back of the lot.

Ill be the fat guy with the scraggly goatee with bugs flying out of it and circling above my nappy head.  Cant miss me.  Ill will be standing in a puddle of chew spit and singing a Britney Spears song.  I may or may not be wearing Daisy Dukes, depends on the weather.

Show up when ya want to, leave when you want to.  Im thinking we can go til 3 pm??? then head inside for some tea and scrumpets.

Let me know how you guys feel and please let me know if you are planning on sticking around for the extra caricular activities at confrence room H.  I need to get an accurate head count for them so they know how much room to save us inside.

PoorBoy himself

Can't Miss You   WHO WOULD WANNA MISS THAT...Look at that dude with the Daisy Dukes on...     Sounds like a hit..

[Revtro]

Sounds good.  Let's say 11-3 it is.  I probably won't be able to hang around at Conf. Room H after.  If I'm gonna be gone during the early part of the day, then I need to get back for the afternoon.  But I'll be there to meet and greet!  See ya then.

[stackenem]

I'll be there for swap meet but can't stay after I'll have my 11yr old grandson with me and he tells on me.

[McCarter]

Whos will be staying for some food and drink at Hooters after the Swap & Meet?

Here is what i have so far for Hooters Wings and owl viewing:

me
Cheetam
Kdawg the destroyer
Jack2 of Yukon

Hope we can get a couple more.  If you can make it afterwards, please do so.  This event would not be possible at this location if it werent for the Hooters staff pulling some strings to get us in the parking lot.  Lets show our appreciation by giving them some business, eh?

Alright 11-3 works for me, I'll be there but gotta opt out of the "afterglow" party..  bringing my wife with me, we are staying at a hotel down there for the night....

AMAZING!   I made travel arrangements to attend the Great Lakes Bass 1st official Swap Meet..



I almost called the "Casa Da Poorboy Day Spa & Sushi Bar" but my IBS won't allow me to eat raw fish...

SEE EVERYBODY THERE!!

BTW- Poorboy will you be bringing any jigheads?

[yukonjack2]

ok guys - I'll be there, but not until about 2:00.  Its pinewood derby districts in the morning that day.  Then we'll(yes my 9 yo too) be there after that for the swap.  We can only stay until about 4:00, then its off to the TBF meeting.  This sucks with the conflict - the nerve of them-lol.

Stackenem - got to teach them early - what happens at hooters, stays at hooters.  Then life is good!

TODAY'S THE DAY

THE 1ST ANNUAL GLB SWAP MEET[/size]

Getting ready to pack the car up right now and get on the road..See ya'll there..

[Revtro]

Hey guys and gals,  I had a great time.  We didn't have as big a turnout as we had hoped (probably partly because of the TBF meeting), but it was a pleasure to see/meet you guys.  For those of you who missed it, you missed out on some SWEET deals.  Wish I could have stayed longer.  Next year, we'll plan for more guys/gals to make it an even more fun event. 

[blakstr1]

Yup, next time we'll have more people there I'd suspect...  Good to see the folks that showed..
