GTG for the Z and G crew - Minneapolis St Paul area
 

When: August 3rd, Saturday
Where: My house in Apple Valley
Why: Because racecar
Who: Z and G enthusiasts, friends and family
What: Food and drinks after we go for a little drive

So before the summer slips away, let's get together and have a party! We will host a GTG at my house. We'll go for a drive first, then head back to my house for some dinner and an after party. :D

I will figure out a route and post it ASAP, but in the meantime put this on your calendar and think of what you'd like to bring over to contribute.

We will provide some food and drinks, but I won't know how many of you are coming until the day of the GTG. So if you want to come over and bring food and drinks, that's great. If you're single and have no clue what to bring, then I accept donations. :P

Please add your name to the list so we can plan accordingly:

Thanks, Lance. I also spread the word about the party while I was at C&C. We might see some older gen Z's come to my house and join us for the cruise.

Based on popular demand, I'll be grilling some good food like chicken satay. :p

I'll make hamburgers and brats, but I'm sure there will be other side dishes. Just make sure you all bring your favorite drinks or whatever else you'd like to contribute or cook for yourselves on the grill.

So I'm thinking we meet at about 1PM and drive a couple of hours. I've got a route mapped out, and it's saying 2+ hours and about 80 miles. Here's the thing: I've got several stops along the way for people to catch up, chill out, take pics, etc. This will probably turn out into a 3 hour cruise before coming over to my house to start grilling and stuff.

I figure if we meet at 1PM, this will give people time to sleep in, get some rest, go get supplies for the after party, and/or do their detailing in the morning. If you all think it should start later, then post up. Also, I was thinking that there's still time after the cruise for some of you who didn't bring stuff along for the party to make a quick run to the stores to get what you want. There are plenty of choices in my area.

Finally, please be responsible. I know you are all adults and want to get home safely. Let's have some fun on the roads and at the party AND do it all safely and responsibly.

This is the idea I was working on for a while. Figured driving within the cities will give the clubs some exposure to recruit more enthusiasts.

So to update the event:

For the cruising part, meet in the lot of Theresa's by 1PM (Mendota Heights).

For the after party including food and drinks, meet at my house by 5PM (PM for address or look at the destination on the map).

If people who are coming to the party can bring soda pop, beer, wine, whatever you like to drink or share, that's fine. For food, I suggest finger foods unless you want to cook something on the grill.

Let me know what you plan on bringing and who's coming. Perhaps just copy and paste the list of attendants and put whatever you're bringing next to the name.

So what is everyone bringing? I know what I'll supply, but I'm thinking of getting some peach schnapps, Bailey's, and pineapple juice. :yum:

Just tell me what to bring...

Well, I'm sure people like to have something to drink besides beer or harder stuff. Bring some Coke and ginger ale to make mixed drinks.

So here's the food and drink list so far:

Burgers
Brats
Chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce
Chocolate cake
Fruit plate
Pasta salad (for the vegetarians)
Some other salad that Tara has made for our parties before
Guacamole (home made)
Chips and dip
Adult beverages of all sorts

I'm sure some people who haven't chimed in are bringing something to the after party, so I'm going to hope we have enough to cover everyone for dinner and snacks.

I can't wait to go driving and then chill out at the house after!

See you in less than an hourrrrr!!!!

Thanks Dave for hosting and planning an awesome day, Thank you and Tara for opening your home to us and grilling some tasty food. The drive was fun and getting to hang out with a bunch of good people really makes for a fun time.

Yes...thank you Dave! Sorry I couldn't stay longer.
