HIN coming to Columbus on May 31, 2008

Looking like I'm getting bodywork done to the camry this week so it should look fairly decent for the drive up.

Ok So Im finalizing some of the plans for the weekend since I live in the area. I was at Polaris this weekend and Easton. Easton is defiantly the best place. We will meet at the two level parking garage next the Hilton and across the street from Macys. This garage is usually pretty secluded and therfore empty as long as no big events are going on at the Hilton. It may allow for a great photoshoot! Im suggesting that we meet at 1pm or 2pm. Around 4 or so we can grab a bite to eat. I think the Mongolian BBQ would be a great place for a bigger group. However if that doesnt sound good to any of you Im still open on the restaurants choice (not sure if I want japanese food though since I haven't had it before). Easton is a really nice place if you haven't been there before so you may want to come and explore. The Lexus dealership is pretty nice at Easton and had a blue ISF sitting their today! If you guys want some beer and wings I would suggest we still meet up at Easton and do our pictures there and then all cruise together to Quaker State and Lube near polaris. It would be a 10-15min drive. There is always some car event going on at QSL and who knows maybe a lot of other car clubs will be meeting up there before the show too!

Now on to the show
We seem to have decent size group for the meet, but who is actually going to go to the show? It starts at 5pm and goes to 12am and the tickets are $25. I would be happy if I got to the show between 6 and 7pm. Maybe afterwards we can hit up the arena district for a few drinks. For those of you who don't know Columbus, the arena district is a big strip of bars. Im sure many people from the show will have the same plans that night since the Columbus Conventions Center is walking distance from the Arena District. So hopefully some nice cars will be cruisin the strip that night! I dont plan on putting my car in the show, but is there anybody else coming who is planning on entering their car? This could be a great night! I hope see you all there! Ill keep you guys posted to if I hear of anything else on the columbus forums too!

sounds good to me.
Mike and I will be meeting at Kings Toyota between 10:30 to 11:00, so we should be at easton mall at 1:00.
are there anyone else would like to join us at kings toyota?
it will be cool if we can cruise up the highway with other solaraguys..

anyhow, if anyone is going to the HIN afterward, register here,
and use promo code "Scion".
it'll give you like $5 off.

Mike and I will be leaving somewhere around 4:00, since we'll drive up to Michigan that night.
so we probably do the photo shoot, and cruising (if we do), and then take off.

I was going to go in and surprise you guys with my car, but now decided against it. have fun everyone.

[TMMK Toy]

So are going to have a caravan going back or just everyone leaving sunday at their own time? I'm staying with a friend saturday night and prob. wont go back till sunday afternoon. Bar disctrict or whatever could be cool afterwards, or we might go to some clubs he was telling me about. Anyway, so how many are gonna be up at King's? Can't wait for this

[Solorange]

The time is coming closer to the show and Id like to see what everyones final plans are.

My plans are to meet up with you guys at Easton at 1pm. I plan on hanging out the whole time until the show which I will go to around 6 or 7. It will probably take 2 to 3 hours to go through the show and then afterwards I plan on parting it up at the arena district till closing time! Oh coarse your all welcome to join me after our meet to the show and on to the bars afterwards! I have some of my car friends coming up from Cincy who will probably meet up with me just before the show.

Lets get one more final roll call so we know who is defiantly coming and who has to back out. Also let me know if you plan on going to the show or not and if you want to do some bar hopping afterwards. There are many hotels downtown so you don't do the drink and drive thing.

Tacti I was hoping you were one of the people that would go to the show! Mike is skipping out too Im going to bug you both at the meet all day to go to the show!

[DiamondPearlSolara01]

I live in Columbus and will definitely try to make it out to Easton... literally just saw this post, I've been waiting for a SG meet out here in the midwest! Easton is a great meeting place sounds like a good place to get some ideas for the lara!

[Solorange]

^ See you there

[TMMK Toy]

I think it would be neat to hit up the Quaker Steak and Lube just to make a presence. Gets old with all those bikers there. lol. But I'm down for the easton meet and what not. We ever decide on where we're eating? Why I suggested Quaker Steak.

Anyway, I'm meeting up at King's and will be at the show. Staying with a friend and he lives within walking distance from the convention center so I'll park at his place when its time to hit up the show. As for afterwards, I think we'll be hitting up the more alternative bars, so dont think y'all would want to tag along. lol

[Solorange]

Im down with cruising over Quaker State and Lube to eat. We had in the plan to go to the mongolian BBQ which is a good place. We can take a majority vote at the meet. It doesnt matter to me. Thats great that you have friend near by. BTW what do yo mean by alternative bars? I may be up for it as long as they aren't gay bars
