I've been tossing around an idea:
how would people feel about a StL meet that might involve a smallish car show and a good local bar. I've got some friends that have been deemed "the 3 wise men" of the bar and could prolly convince the owner to let us use the parking lot for the show, let us have a band (prolly somebody from the boards) and give us drink specials.
I was thinking it'd be good to extend a special invite to the NoIL people. so this thing would be on a sat nite so people can come down on sat and leave sunday.
if people are drinking I think it'd be best to have some lodging arrangements (along with DDs), so I was thinking of maybe inviting the FocalJet people (they have a strong presense in StL) and trying to get them to let people stay at their houses.
all in all, I think we could arrange a pretty awesome g2g in StL and get a ton of people to participate.
