What, no Metallica?

 

:rockon:

 

If anyone has some specific songs they like, shoot them to me and I will send them to the band and see if they will play them.

 

Today, I told them to lock in the date.

Too hard core? Please.... Doesn't everyone between 30 and 60 have a copy of Back in Black in their past (or present)? It has sold over 22 million copies just in the US, and EVERYONE I knew in the 80's had one!

I may be in the minority in this gathering, but I have been a metal head since 1981. I would be ecstatic to hear any one of these relatively common classic metal songs:

 

Burnin' for You - Blue Oyster Cult

You've Got Another Thing Comin' - Judas Priest

Twilight Zone - Golden Earring

Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica (Thin Lizzy cover)

 

But, I'm just excited that there's gonna be live Rock & Roll! :rockon::yup::rockon:

 

 

 

edit: For those of you with the Sirius satellite radio - Channel 19, the Buzzsaw!

Add me to the list too. Sounds like fun. Finally another mustang owner that won't be frowning by the time I drive by! Nobody waves! Is it just because we have the Cobra's and people are just looking at the car?

Last years event was very fun. This years event will be even better. Good friends, new friends, fast cars, good food, good music and hopefully good weather. :)

 

Mark your calendars for Sat. May 24th and let me know if you are interested in attending. The event will be held at my place again. I have an acre and plenty of room to park the cars in the field where we will be having the party.

 

The location is 5 miles east of I-5 @ the 179th Street exit (Clark Co.fairgrounds exit) in Battleground, WA. The zip code is 98604 if you want to mapquest the location. I know this is 6 months away, but I want to start planning early.

 

I want to start putting together a list of interested people that I will keep updated on thiis thread.

Looks like Gun Oil(Win) and the Mrs "Oil"(Sam) will be attending....our car is supposed to be in a month prior, so that gives plenty of fudge time to have it arrive late for our delivery....

 

Look forward to meeting y'all, and learning more about some "light" mods you have done......

 

I will be especially interested in "feeling" some short shift kits, and how they gate compared to stock, and seeing any Vert's that have been lowered....

Hi, Grabber, thanks for getting me back online here the other day. So much has been happening in my life over the last few months that I haven't really had time to post in the forums. However, I wouldn't miss the 2nd annual Pacific NW Meet & Greet for anything. A great time was had by all last year at your place, and I'm truly looking forward to participating again.

Umm, Grabber, I think your 1 acre lot is going to be plum full. I suggest we DO NOT let the wives have us rearrange the cars over and over like last year, as there will be too many to manuver this go around. Maybe the wives could all get together ahead of time and work out a map for all us to follow when we park in the lawn?

Sounds like a good list of songs. Something for everybody. My only addition would be if they could come up with a little rendition of "Let The Good Times Roll" by The Cars; that was the first song I played on my baby. That sound system really bumps on that song! It was great.

 

I'm from the Tacoma area and would love to travel convoy style. Hisssss has already mentioned it and at least one other.

 

Unless somebody else has a better location, Tacoma Mall might be a good hook up location. Coming from the south exit I5 at 56th street and travel a bit north on Tacoma Mall Blvd. North exit I5 at 38th street turn left at Borders and left at light at Red Robin.

 

Don't know what time, Never been to Battleground, but in the parking lot facing I5 outside of Jc Penneys so everyone can see each other to meet up. It's not far at all from the freeway on or off.

 

How does that sound? Anyone have an idea on the time?

My place is exactly 5 miles off of I-5 at the 179th street exit. My address is in the PM I sent you so you can mapquest the time, but it seems to me that Tacoma is an hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours.

We live in Kent and made the trip to Grabber's place last year in about 2.5 hours (we made a couple quick stops en route). From Tacoma, 2 hours should be plenty. My wife and I may stay at a Vancouver hotel Friday night so that we're close to Grabber's Saturday morning, but if we don't, we'd be open to joining the convoy. Leaving the Tacoma Mall at 7:30am would probably be about right. Arrive at Grabber's around 9:30 to 10am (depending on pit stops anyone may need on the way).
