I was reminded that this is "my" event for IC. However, I am not going to be able to make it into town this year.

The Dreamcruise (which is typically why we get together at this time of year) is on Saturday August 21.

I don't know if my non attendance will change anything, but I will miss you guys.

    So yeah; it's still on, if you want to come to town and see what is probably the biggest outdoor car show on earth, ICHQ's doors are open.

    Andrew and I are in. :) It's always a party when we show up... even when it only begins as a stop for lunch. <3

    FYI, Summer Shindig started when I drove to Michigan, not telling you I was driving there. I called Ryder and GHoosdum and Garg on the way and Ryder and Scotty and I planned the turkey fry as seen here:

    1st summer shindig

    I think you may be thinking about the 2nd Summer Shindig

    Wish I could be there. I'll be in Japan looking out for bosozuku, though :). There will most definitely be a picture thread if I find some.

    This is the only regular IC event that I haven't hit yet, it sucks I didn't make it before moving. SIGGRAPH always interfered, and for the first time ever, the conference was two weeks early this year. Figures.

    No, but it should.

    Hm. I can't decide between this or Richard Kaczynski's talk on Aleister Crowley at the Detroit OTO. temple. I think Crowley is far more interesting than cars, but then, the OTO isn't giving out achievement badges for attending their event. :p

    I do, and it was rad. You should do it again sometime. Like yesterday even.

    Best call from fatcat ever. "Hey, come up to Detroit, I'm just showing up."

    What a fun weekend.

    I'm sad I can't make it this year. I'd be at all this crap if I was still local (a 4 hour drive is local).


    Oh man, Brian, what was that stuff from Peru we drank that weekend?

    This will probably sound heretical, but: Both the missus and I HATE Dream Cruise. I used to live a block from Woodward and wanted to leave town every summer when it came around, kind of like Art Fair in Ann Arbor.

    But, we're interested in finally showing for an Icrontic event - will there be non-Dream-Cruise festivities?
  • RyderRyder Kalamazoo, Mi Icrontian

    In the past, we drove up to ~12/13 mile and Woodward on Saturday afternoon, found a place to park and then wandered around for 1 to 4 hours (depending on the group) and then headed back to ICHQ for dinner/beer/whatever.

    Most definitely there are other things Friday and Saturday night besides Dreamcruise.

    For the record: I've personally never gone to the dream cruise; I left that to the car guys.

    There are always non dream cruise-related things going on. While the car people do their thing, we usually hang out and barbecue or go get dinner somewhere.

    Hell, without Ryder, I don't know that there WILL be any dream cruise visits...

    TL;DR: Dream Cruise is optional. Partying is not.

    I can totally fill in for Ryder on the car fanaticism. ;)

    I am in for sure to head down to the Cruise. Taking pictures was a blast except for the dumbass bros that tried to splash me with water while i had a $1200 camera in my hand. Luckily the fuzz was right there to bust them.
