2012 Regional FOG / Festool Get Togethers

[Chris Hughes]

Being in SW Michigan, I would be willing to go 8 to 10 hours out.  We need to find a place with abundant lodging like Nashville, Chicago or Branson Missouri.  

We talked about this concept last year at class in Feb.  It would be cool to see all my FOGger friends at the same place at the same time.

Atlanta would be a good option for our EU friends.

I might be up for a road trip excuse in California. But if you want to move it a bit further north into prettier territory, did I mention I live in wine country? Won't take long to pack:

I would be in, depending on location and if it fits my schedule. Anything close (8hrs or so drive) to Ontario Canada works for me!

Ontario is one hell of a big place and it takes about 24 hours to drive across the whole province from Hawkesbury in the east to just west of kenora, so 8 hours drive away covers an even bigger region.  

I just checked a road map of the USA and I estimate that there are 18 states that can be reached from some part of Ontario in less than 8 hours.   [poke]

Sorry Frank. I was typing fast and wasn't typing what I was thinking!  [embarassed] I am in Niagara, near the border, about an hour from you. So basically anything 8hrs from there into the states would be great!

I would like to attend!
And a small training seminar would be a bonus,  would be great to meet FOGnation.
As far as the MI folks are, a ride share to Indy or where ever would be nice.

I almost don't care where it is as long as I'm warm!  If it's a summer Fest, then it can be anywhere except for Alaska...if it's a winter deal...I'm goin south!

 

[peter halle]

Thanks for the enthusiasm and comments.  Keep them coming and continue voting in the poll.

I threw a dart and this place came up. We could all bring a rotex and save Frank three years' work!

Grand Prix in Austin seems logical to me.

Well there is room for a lot of people on the island and I would certainly be willing to host an event.  [big grin]

By the way, here is an aerial photo of the island from Google:

Frank,

How big a generator do you have?  [big grin]

Just kidding.  I hope that one day I can visit you at your island and see first hand all the projects that you have posted here.

Count me in for anything within a few hours of southern Ontario... and Marc... keep THAT Green Machine well polished.  It probably has my fingerprints all over it!

 

[semenza]

Hi,

PA is the closest by far for me. I would be willing to go anytime of year, but would suggest it not be winter for travel / weather issues. Wouldn't want a blizzard spoiling things.  Quite a lot of votes for PA too !!!

That must be a Nissan Leaf?

Peter, all I can say is you must be a glutten for punishment. Meanwhile ROCK ON.  [thumbs up] [popcorn]

Guys gotta' have a hobby!   [scared]

I'd be more than happy to host it at the store.  We have the space, MFT's, tools and the beer (for after, of course).  There's a Marriot about 15 minutes away.

Just an idea, about 45 min north of NYC so if there were some that wanted to fly from "away, away" it's easily reachable.

 

[mouppe]

Sean, count me in. Around June 1st and the carvex launch date would be perfect!
