Meet 'n Greet GB, WI

[97XJ2]

Who would like to set up a meet 'n greet near Green Bay, WI (I would help) I know the area consisits of 'xjwisconsin' and '85xj woody' and maybe some milwuakee area members that would make the trip. sometime near spring, wisco area wheelers could set something up. Maybe a camping/wheeling run on McCaslin Mt or the Pipeline, etc. Let me know. My red is soon to come with my state tax return. Sorry if this post doesnt make sense, it is 2AM in wisco. Let me know, I'd like to meet you guys!

I am up for a meet and greet. Pretty much anytime works for me. I don't have the time for a day of wheeling though. Both jeeps are not ready as they are getting some upgrades before Memorial weekend.

2am posts almost never make sence.

We would make the trek.
As long as

i can wear a Bear's shirt.....

[funvtec]

i might be down to meet up, although no wheelin for me. my jeep is still stock and i'm still working out all the way past due maintenance stuff the previous owner forgot to do.

[kunaji]

I'll be up in GB next weekend.

[97XJ2]

Yes you can wear a bears shirt, you may just catch a little grief:shhh: . Those of you talking about not wheeling, that's fine as I'm still a stocker, and I still dont know where there would be legal wheeling in the area. Now who would want to do what (this being my first time and all I'm not sure) meet at a restaurant and shoot the breeze?

Edit: And probably most importantly, when works? (I see this coming weekend would work for kunaji?)

[85xjwoody]

This weekend would work for me also.

[kunaji]

How about the Smokey Bones?? BBQ place by the mall in Ashwaubenon for a place and this Saturday night at about 1800 for a time?

[lilkuff]

i might be abel to make the trip. any room for a kid from IL?

[97XJ2]

That time/place works for me. We could all show off our flex on the curbs lol. Of course there's room for u kuff.

[85xjwoody]

Time and place works for me. Anybody staying overnight in GB?

Kim

[kunaji]

I will be staying at my sister's place off of Military.

For those not familiar with the area, here's the address to find Smokey Bones. If we can get a firm count of people coming by Friday I will call and make a reservation.

Smokey Bones Barbeque & Grill
2475 South Oneida Street
Green Bay, WI 54304

[kunaji]

Seems the Smokey Bones is closed now. Right next to it is a Texas Roadhouse though. Just park on the other side of the parking lot.

Texas Roadhouse
2375 S. Oneida Street
Green Bay, WI 54304

[jeep4play2000]

So thats this weekend? The 22nd-23rd? If so, I won't be able to make it, I'll be in Disney. Bummer I can't meet up with you guys, but I guess, it's an even trade... lol

[85xjwoody]

Texas Roadhouse will be packed on Saturday evening!! We should find a smaller place possibly. How about a local pub with some good food? There are a few good places.

Kim

Let's just have a BBQ at your place then!!

I'm not familiar enough with the places there to suggest any of the smaller places. We went to Titletown Brewing on New Year's and they had a decent selection of beer. Food too. They will probably be packed also. Do you have any other place specifically in mind? The where really doesn't matter much to me, but we should finalize something in the next day or two so people can get directions.

[85xjwoody]

We could do some place like Anduzzi's, The Bar on Holmgren way, or Stadium View. They are all easy to get to from the highway. I vote The Bar. That is the actual name.
They have plenty of room and also have small party rooms. Food is great and plenty of drinks to choose from.
Directions are:
Take the Lombardi exit off of hwy 41-141 and head east. Take Lombardi Ave to Holmgren Way and take a right. The Bar is located a few intersections up and is near the intersection of Holmgren Way and Potts Ave.
Anymore questions or suggestions let me know.

Kim

[97XJ2]

Yeah forgot that smokey bone's was closed, has been for a while now, unless you go early enough on a fri/sat any place in that area (near the mall) will be packed um... as far as local pubs go, most are horse a piece, Titletown Brewing is big enough and could usually have room upstairs. I actually have never been to the "The Bar" in recent memory but would also figure that there would be room early enough or if we reserved some space. There is a place called "Joe Rouers" in Duvall, a little NE of Green Bay, a bar and the best greasy burgers that I have found so far. On the west side of town there is a newish place called "Suamico Ale House", its normally big enough and they have true double bubble (including pitchers and appetizers are half price) till 6 (i think).

[97XJ2]

o, if someone might have a membership packet laying around bring it!

[kunaji]

I don't think those places serve anything but bar food. Am I wrong on that? This would be dinner for most people so we need someplace that has a decent selection of food. TBH beer is a secondary concern since people will be traveling several hours to attend. If The Bar sells regular food, then I would say it's primary and Texas Roadhouse is secondary and Titletown tertiary.

We need to nail this down no later than tomorrow night.

[85xjwoody]

They have a pretty good selection of food including dinner plates. But if it is a fancy place like Texas Roadhouse you prefer they are going to be pretty packed no matter which one you pick. How about Curly's Pub? Not to busy and plenty of room. Right in Lambeau Field. Great food, great place and not such a bar type of atmosphere.
Easy to find also. Let me know.

Kim

[97XJ2]

Ok, how about Curly's on Saturday at 6 pm. Never been there actually but I would agree with Kim on what the place is like. Get off HWY 41 at Lombardi Ave (Exit 167), turn East and travel for about a mile towards the stadium. The easiest way to park near Curly's is to turn in either driveway off of Lombardi and park "under/closest" were it says "Lambeau field atrium" and go in there. I would probably be one of the first to arrive so look for a stock green 2nd gen 2dr. Lets get a final count on who's there:

Im in.

[kunaji]

In.

[85xjwoody]

Wife and I are in.

[97XJ2]

Ok well if its just the three (or if a couple more come unannounced) I wont make reservations, it shouldn't be a problem.

[xjwisconsin]

Sorry guys... I havent been checking in lately... I would certainly have met you tonight. It sounded more fun than hanging sheet rock by myself at the new house. Hope it was a good time

Kyle

[97XJ2]

Yeah actually we were kinda curious but I recalled that you said weekends were bad for you. See you at meatfest or scopion's get together? Thanks for coming out guys, good to meet you.

Brian

[Jeepm@n]

Well hell of a time for my computer to go down. I'd have met up with you guy's been itching to sign up but not liking the idea of sending credit card info over the internet. Not only that want to see what NAXJA is all about. Money has been tight thanks to the oil companies. Can't wait to get working on the Jeeps again, sorry I missed it ,hope it was fun.

Wow that last sentence says "ADD" all over it. lol

[kunaji]

It was a good time enjoyed by all. Capped off with the drinking of the homebrew at my sister's house after dinner. Nobody says there can't be another one in the future though. Methinks more people would be able to attend if there was more notice on the time/place for it.

[xjwisconsin]

I would be up for it if I am not working... weekends tend to be busy for me... and damn I love homebrew. So sad.

[Jeepm@n]

MMMMMMM Home brew:cheers:

[Gil BullyKatz]

Bummer...

I work saturdays... I was hoping to meet some of my new neighbors on this side of the border.

Have fun fellas.

[nick88xj]

so is there going to be a meet 'n greet im up for it

[97XJ2]

We did, back near the end of March. If it wanted to be tried again with a little more notice this time we could probably get Gil and Xjwisco. But look into the Scorpion Auto M&G, there will probably be many more people there. There will be others to come as well. Where abouts you located and your XJ's specs?

[kunaji]

It's not in GB, but next weekend I'm hosting a M & G at my place in Sparta.

I'd love to go Kunaji, but with gas @ 3.75 a gal here and you being 4 hours and 45 minutes away I'll take a rain check. Thanks for the link on the meet and greet.

[xjwisconsin]

Weekends again suck in my world. Tied to the stove feeding the hungry masses. But if you guys end up getting together pm me and I would see what I could do. I still would like to meet some of you guys in person.
