[Shotimes] RE: Lapeer (was: LaPeer?)

[Ron Porter]

I'm personally leaning toward 11/5, but it may conflict with my work
schedule.

 

10/29 may work better.

 

Part of the issue is with the MA guys like Kirk. I believe that Kirk is
planning on attending Ben Bentley's wedding in IL on 10/22. If it can save
him some driving, getting it all in on one trip would work.

 

A couple of "IFs" are:

 

I heard a rumor about the desire for a Fall Gingerman event?

Could the MA contingent stay for a week?

 

 One thought is to plan Lapeer for 10/29, with this "possible" schedule
(considering Kirk and the MA contingent):

 

Ben's wedding on Saturday 10/22 (some of the intended Lapeer participants
are invited, and we wouldn't miss it!!)

Gingerman (IF there is a desire) somewhere in the Wed-Thurs 10/26-10/27
range

Lapeer on Saturday 10/29.

 

If Kirk needs a "business reason" to make it work, I could easily host a
Camfest at my house on Monday or Tuesday 10/24-10/25 for him to have a
business reason for the trip.

 

Just throwing out thoughts here. FW, my work schedule sucks, and we may not
start in southern Indiana until November. But...as always..it is subject to
change at any time.

 

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

I forget what date it was last fall, but one week later would have been
golden as Soccer season always seems to be in Tournament on the fall  Lapeer
weekend.  Also with Mr. "no name" Krietemeyer slated to arrive anytime
between Sep 28th and Oct 11th. the later the better the chance that my
wonderful bride will willingly grant the hall pass I'll need to attend, she
woudl liek to come along as well I believeas long as "no name" isn't born
surgically.

In all reality my wife is a jewel and will be understanding no matter how
the dates fall, but soccer has almost always thrown a wrench into things in
the past it seems.

Tough question....

I've been mulling over possible dates & scenarios for October into November
5th.

I was going to pose the question here, as a bunch of the folks who attend
are on the list.

Basically I have heard rumors n Indy of a possible Gingerman date in Fall
(Bob, Don????), plus there is a wedding in Illinois on 10/22 that some of us
are attending, and I'm trying to come up with something that will suit the 
out-of-state folks.

Anyway, some possible dates are as follows. As a rule-of-thumb, dates in
early October (1) will be a bit warmer, and (2) have a better chance of good
weather. Dates late Oct-early Nov has cool weather, but a better chance of a

rain or high headwinds. All are Saturdays.

Sept. 24th
Oct. 1st
Oct. 8th (I would have to sell Michigan vs Minnesota tickets)
Oct. 15th (I would have to sell Michigan vs Penn State tickets)
Oct. 29th 
Nov. 5th

Getting risky for weather after this, at least as far as planning in advance
for people to travel.

So.
When are we going to do LaPeer this Autumn? I really want to go this 
year and the more notice I get, the more likely it is I'll actually
have that time available.
