Once you get into the park just follow the signs to the lodge, it is well marked. Make sure you park in the very upper lot which they are letting us use. If we aren't outside just go in the lodge and tell then you are with the empeg group and they will show you where we are sitting in the dining room. There will be more than one table.

Menu
Friday dinner I will be making pizzas for whoever wants dinner. I will also be baking brownies for dessert.
Saturday breakfast Tim Hortons donuts. I am told these are the best and I know of a place outside of Dayton, Ohio where I can buy them.
Saturday lunch we will be eating at the lodge. The prices arent too bad but higher than a fast food place.
Saturday dinner to be cooked out at Brookville Lake. There will be hamburgers (a special recipe I was taught), Johnsonville Brats, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw,
macaroni salad, potato chips with smores for dessert.
Sunday breakfast I will cook eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon and toast.
Sunday lunch sandwiches including turkey, ham and roast beef with a couple of different cheeses. Everyone can help themselves.
Sunday dinner for those still left we can go off and find us a Skyline Chili and you can taste what Cincinnati is famous for.
I will have coffee, tea and juice available but bring your own drinks. Too hard to guess what people want.

I'm keeping my mouth shut on that one.
I'm not a coffee drinker so is there a brand that people would like to have avaliable? Someone else can make the coffee so it's drinkable. I can boil water for tea.

I drink coffee everyday, but I am not a coffee snob. For example....
Today I drank 2 cups of freeze dried Maxwell House that has been in my fridge for 2 years. For me, any coffee with caffene will do.

Caffeine flavored....
Coffee flavored coffee (sorry, I could not resist that one).
Actually, I'm not really a regular coffee drinker so I'll be happy with whatever there is

I thought people were picky about their coffee, but it doesn't seem that way or maybe only serious drinkers are. I mean there are so many flavors and blends to choose from. I love the smell of fresh ground or brewed coffee but never cared much for the taste.

Don't worry - you're not alone. I'm pissed I missed Boston - and like you, Boston is closer to me (about 7 hours). Plus, the only exposure I've ever had to Ohio is Cleveland, so I figure I'd broaden my horizon.

There are of course a thousand or so blends of choice, but when you mix grinds, brewing styles, and flavorings the result is mind boggling. As robric, I am not a coffee snob, other than the fact that I will take any coffee over basically anything else. Given my druthers I'd take Starbucks, but I'm open to expanding my horizons. Unless someone else is interested, I'll be glad to take over the coffee vending.

Consider the coffee your job You can bring it and brew it and make everyone happy, including me and thanks.
I think the meet here will be bigger and better than the one in Boston, though I didn't go so I have no way of judging.

Would they sell the grounds at a store do you think? I am picking up donuts from there and could pick up a bag of coffee if they have it.

1.Grand door prize empeg tuner to be given away by Rob(only those without a tuner can sign up for the drawing)
Dumb question. I have a friend (who may come with me) who owns a tuner. It's installed in one of my vehicles for now, but it's not my tuner. Clearly with one tuner module we can't both be "with tuner", but which of us is eligible to enter?
(He wasn't using it, so he loaned it to me with the understanding that I would buy a kit to replace it when those happened)

I was there. It would be unfair to compare the two meets. From what I can tell so far, they will be totally different.

Are you coming? If so please fill out the form on riocar.org so I know when you are coming. I'll be buying the food Thursday and need an idea of how many are going to be there so you don't starve to death
I will let Rob make the decision on that but I would assume since it is not your tuner (only borrowed) you would be able to be in the drawing. But don't hold me to that.

Yeah, you can enter for the tuner. I wanted that rule because tuners were selling for $400 on ebay at the time. My thinking was, I'm giving away a tuner, not $400.
The ebay situation is different now, but I think the rule is still a good one.

And it's still a great prize to win even if the retail value has dropped. I would hope the winner wouldn't sell it

Are you coming?
That involves knowing if I'm coming
My life still sucks hard enough that it's a coin toss, albeit a weighted coin.
I am capable of foraging if I fail to know what I'm doing in time.

I'm certainly not going to argue. The intent is of course between the 3 cars owned by my friend and with with empegs installed, to end up with that many tuners. I don't buy toys as speculation. No point, I'd usually lose money.
Which reminds me, I should sell my SparcBook 3GS before it loses all its value. I just don't have time for Linux kernel development anymore.

Your life can't suck much worse than mine and I'm coming. Course I am in charge of the whole thing so I have to. Hey you never know, you might actually have some fun if you do.

There's little doubt in my mind that coming is good. It's just a question of can I spare the time to do it... Too many things are all happening at the same time, and I'm trying to keep up.

Guess that wasn't updated. If you look under announcements, there is a link that directs you to more details (some of those have changed). If you or anyone has any questions, ask away while you can. I will be leaving here Friday morning and will be without a computer the rest of the weekend.
