Hey everyone.  It has been quite a while since I have been around. Lately I have been busy with work, twins (boy and girl 16 month olds) and a 3 month old boy.

Anyways,  I am putting my vette in the shop in a week or two for the last bit of work needed. Rear struts, leaf springs need to be fixed and new trailing arms and bearings.

This coming June 5th (it's a saturday) I am having a BBQ at my house in hackettstown, NJ.  It will be a nice early summer BBQ so it wont be too hot outside. I live on a side street in a beautiful part of the town so there is no traffic on it at all for our vettes to be parked along the street. It is a safe environment and area as well. My wife thought this would be the best weekend for it.  So I am inviting all of you to bring your vettes and families as well. A BBQ like lukesvette.  Just a nice day with everybody hanging out having a good time. I have a large backyard and deck and gazebo.  Also, I have a 20 X 40 in ground pool for all to go swimming as well. Bring your kids and wife as mine will be there also and having fun in the sun and pool as well.

I am starting this topic/thread now so I can get an idea of who and how many could come to this. Then we can set up who brings what and all that.

This goes out to the northeast members and any other member that wants to come to this. We welcome all. The more, the merrier.

Let me know what you all think and who would be interested to come. I will keep this topic alive and update it as things progress.

Jeremy

private message me for my address to google/gps my house for directions and time to reach me from where you are. Movie Collector2010-06-04 11:05:30

Sounds like a plan.  IF my granddaughter is in the world by then we may be there. If not we will be on call for her arrival.  M-n-S

Thanks Jeremy, sounds great, I'm in. I'll let you know about the wife since she's going to France for a wedding in the end of May and I'm not sure when she comes home.

Uh-oh!!     Wifey's birthday.... may have to pass on this one - we already have play tickets. Maybe next time but thanks for the offer Jeremy!!

No problem. It is a couple of months away but I wanted to get a feel for anyone that would want to pass by.   I am still having a BBQ that day with or without. I love my new house and the big pool and all.  The street we are on is not a busy one. It is a side of a side street type of thing. Beutiful neighborhood and families and such. Tons of on street parking like Paul's if you ever been to his BBQ that he has.

As it stands now.  I will have burgers and hot dogs.  Please let me know what else you may be able to bring if you are going to be able to come. Salads, dessert , etc.. I will have a cooler here for some beer as well.   I have a canopy set up in my backyard as well as a table and umbrella with separate table and chairs under canopy. 

This looks like a do able drive 81 to 380 to 80. 4.5 hours 220 miles

Heck.  If EBO might get there then Patricia says she's gonna try to as well.  Of course, I will have to tag along as chauffeur, door opener, bottle opener (and embiber), and food taste consultant.

Jeremy,

I can't commit just yet. I want to go. I hope I can go. I'll keep you posted.

Kevin

Main Post updated.

Would love to be there to meet some new folks, everybody on here sounds like real nice people...but....that is race weekend at Pocono and I work there the 2 race weekends a year. I'm on the Pre-race staff up there.
BTW...thanks for the comment on seat belt retractors....not much encouragement to try to handle myself, most likely will bite the bullet and buy new ones.

So I need an update on who exactly will be coming to this. I want to make sure this will work or if I have to do it later on in the year instead. Don't get me wrong, we are opening our pool next week and getting everything ready. My vette is due to be out of the shop and ready for whatever by the time this comes around. I just a need a positive head count for drinks and food and everything else. Other than DaveM I just have a hand full of maybes.

Well, I am going to commit to coming.  Patricia says so, too.  I am guessing Hackettstown is somewhere in NAWTH Jersey.  Usins from SOUTH Jersey gonna have to push our way through the corn fields and hay fields, but we are a persistent lot.

Hey Harry, you guys are welcome to stay over at our house, we are in the next town from Jeremy.

That way you don't have to leave early to make the 2.5 hr. trip back. Sounds like fun, we just need to scare up some more people.

Thank you, Dave.  Gotta check my social director directions first.  No telling what plans exist for the next day.  We may be coming from the Poconos.

Manchester Shark may not be able to make it. I spoke with him and their Grand child is due very very soon. For now they are nto going to make it, if they do, then they will show up and surprise everyone.

What time should we be there?

The BBQ will start about 12-1pm. Come when you can. If you show up earlier that is fine too.

I'll bring baked beans.   Kathy

80 LS7 and Harryhere , any idea of what you may be bringing?  still need deserts unless you want to get some ice cream after the cruise we may go on.  Anything else is nice too,

We can certainly do ice cream.  And will also bring some sort of cake(s).  Any idea yet on the numbers of people? 

______________

(click to see a larger image)

cake sounds good and ice cream on the run or whenever. lol.  looks like a small group as of right now. total of 10 including my wife.  doesn't have to be big anyways.  I keep updating with who is going and who is bringing what on the main post with times and everything.

Hey Jeremy. Sorry that I'm not able to make it. Hope everyone has a great time. JPD1stVette2010-05-25 18:32:37

Hi Jeremy,

Jeremy,

I'd love to go but I can't. The list of reasons why is so long, I won't go in to it.

It looks like there will be good attendance. Have a good one.

Kevin

Steve,

Well.  This is it. less than a week to go for the BBQ.  I have been following the weather on weather.com.  My zip code is 07840 if you want to watch it as well.  It currently says 20% chance of rain, sunny and 86 degrees. Friday and Sunday are calling for rain but not Saturday. Keep our fingers crossed as I do not have a rain date for this BBQ.

great now they are calling for 30% chance of rain and thunderstorms.  Hopefully it will blow past.

Harry has to back out due to personal issues so they won't be here.  just to let you all know.

The weather doesnt look so good.  If you dont want to come, I understand.  I got the burgers and hot dogs and buns, coors lite and corona beer, cheese, ketchup, mustard, relish but if no one shows its ok, we will use them up or freeze them so no harm done.  If you dont want to bring your vette that is fine too.  It looks like it is on and off rain today with thunderstorms. If you dont want to come or would rather do this some other day when weather is better just let me know.  Pool is ready too if anyone wants to jump in today too.  Either way I will be home.  If you all want to take a cruise, my vette is ready. My garage door is open with my vette inside. It is visible from the road. I have the yellow house if you are looking for it.  Let me know what you want to do.

Jeremy
