If we could pull this together, after the week I've had, it would mean the world to me.  Honestly, I have never meet another clusterhead ever, and I would really like the oppurtunity.
Title: Re: Milwaukee in October Anyone ?
Post by FZfan on Aug 19th, 2004, 7:58am
Too bad you didn't think of this earlier this summer. My choice for a place to meet would have been Road America (Elkhart Lake) for one of the August races. I absolutely LOVE that place. Haven't been there since 2000, but I have been there over a couple dozen times over the years. The RA-500 is this weekend. I wish like damn I could be there.

I just checked their web-site (www.roadamerica.com). Would September 18 be too soon to hook up? There's a vintage car race there that weekend.

Just a thought. I honestly don't care where we meet. Even if it's Peoria, Illinois.

Post by IndianaJohn on Aug 19th, 2004, 10:24pm
Hate to be a wet blanket about the road race thing, but if I'm in cycle, there's no way I could handle going to a race.  It would turn my brains from mush to soup.  

I don't really have a preference on the date.  My b-day's the 17th so I would like to be home with my family for it, but other than that I'm open.

My husband Ted and I can make it any Sat in Oct. except 10/23.  We are both enrolled in Bible College and have a school commitment that day. Sounds like it will be a blast.  

Elkhart Lake?!!! My family goes there and stays at the Ostorff Resort every late March into April for a week.  Our Wisconsin District has a Ministers retreat/conference there for all their liscensed ministers.  Its a blast there.  The resourt is wonderful place to stay at and has excellent accomodations.  Haven't seen much of the town or the tracks though.  

Someone should contact Bruce D and see if he is interested since he lives so close by.

Hi All-  ;;D
I just found this site recently and I live very close to Milwaukee and would love to meet up with others dealing with same issues.   I find it very lonely and difficult to explain to others what kind of pain and anxiety these headaches cause.  People seem to understand if you have a broken bone but not so much if it isn't something they can relate to.  Anyway, I will be checking the board out in the future for a confirmed date and time.    

Thanks again

Post by BruceD on Aug 20th, 2004, 9:27pm
Howdy guys,

It sounds like a good plan (and a much shorter drive than Nashville :) ) Anyway, October is typically a busy month for us but if we can make it ... well, you get the idea. ;)

Later

October weekends that work for me would be the 9th and the 23rd, otherwise I have the kids the other weekends, and teens always have their own sets of plans and guess who has to play taxi....lol.  

Keep me informed I'd love to see folks again!

The ex BF Mechanic/armchair neurologist lives and works in that town, and just adores the local festivals.  I know the downtown historic district very well, and we could plaster his business front with clusterhead bumperstickers!!!!!

Can we say bombard him with clusterheads and give a REAL good education?

I'd love to go, problem is I have 500 acres of corn & soybeans to harvest, weather permitting. I'll hope for rain in Indiana & sunshine in WI so that I can attend.

Hey, if the weather is nice & I can't go to WI, you guys are welcome to come join me in the corn fields!  A little sample of the beer/oct. fest would be most welcome as well!  If I don't get to see you, hope you have fun.

Post by BlueMeanie on Aug 30th, 2004, 6:28pm
Yes it is in Cedarburg. The festival starts at 11:00, but I probably won't make it there until around 1-2PM timeframe.

Looking forward to meetin' ya Zappa. See ya there.

I can't wait!   It's going to be so good to finally meet other real live clusterheads.

Post by FZfan on Sep 1st, 2004, 1:20pm
So how are we going to know each other? Should I look for a group of chain-smokers dragging oxygen tanks? Check the ground for discarded imitrex injectors? Or how about a group of people drinking lots of beer? Wait a minute, nevermind, that last description would apply to every person in Wisconsin. Should we all wear foil hats?  ;;D

Just wondering.

Word of warning, Cedarburg is somewhat uptight and may call in the national guard should a roving gang of clusterheads "invade" their suburbia. I suggest traveling in pairs while heading to the porta potty and keeping a low profile while injecting your trex! ;)

Seriously, although I will have to travel all the way from the SW side of Milwaukee to get there, my son and I (perhaps Libby too) will make every attempt to be there.

We are planning to start combining the corn tomorrow (Friday) so I probably won't be able to make it.  I was really looking forward to going & seeing the bunch from that area too. Well, maybe something will work out in Chicago in October? Or, maybe it will rain.  Hope you all have a good time! terry

Hey Terry, looks like it's NOT gonna rain. If the Chicago get together doesn't come through, don't forget Davenport in January.

Due to the angle of the sun and other natural phenomonon I have some work to do to get other pics viewable.  There was so much reflection on the screen that many of the pics were taked threw the viewfinder and need alot of work.  (And I'm just learning how to do that)...I'll add to this as more get to looking good.
