Hi all, in a previous post I floated the idea of hosting a get together of GJ members and got decent response. I met with Chad S last night and ironed out a few details.

Date: 6/27/09
Time: noon till 5pm
Place: Finksburg, Md (PM with rsvp for address)
Who: GJ members, friends are allowed also
What: swap meet, Chad S early snap on collection on display (this will be very
cool and rare)
Other displays are welcome and encouraged.
I'll have tools and boxes for sale also
Fellowship, fun, meet other tool addicts


Meeting will be at my place of business, big shop but not fancy.
Feel free to bring a buddy or two along, but please no **** heads:bounce:
I would ask that you rsvp by 6/14 so I have an idea of how many are coming, but the sooner the better for planning purposes.

I'll provide hotdogs, mac and potato salads, chips, and soda's. Feel free to bring something if you want.

I look forward to meeting some of you folks and hope everyone brings some cool or wierd tools to show off.

Still open to ideas or suggestions.

Note: this is not an official Garage Journal event, just friends getting together!

Almost forgot: free/no charge

This sounds like fun...is anybody coming up the I-81 N corridor through VA (Roanoke) that wants a rider (halves on gas!). Let me know, I just cant see driving the F250 (12mpg) up there all by myself. Ive got some cool stuff I can bring too.

I haven't gotten a job yet, so I will be there. Will pm you later after I learn how to do it. Will bring some c-man tools to sell cheap.

I wish I lived back east and near by; it sounds like a great get together! You guys are going to have to take pics of the event and share it with all of us; so, we can "meet" vicariously! Sounds like it will be a blast! :)

Well that Eliminates Elroy right off the bat.:lol_hitti

Actually if this gathering was closer than 6 states away we'd be there.

Hope you guys have a good turn out. Chad has some cool stuff and we hope other bring along a few of their neat items as well.

Have a good time and tip one back for ole Elroy. :beer:

Maybe the ones with a pin and laminate covering them! :bounce:

Seriously,

I would like to make it. I have hundreds of USA made loose sockets, dozens of ratchets, and plenty of other tools that I can sell to those who are looking for "that certain tool" that they need for their set. Since I have yet to find a truly efficient way to list and market all these great tools, I think this would be an excellent venue to do it.

It would also be nice to show off some of our favorite stuff.... Most likely not for sale, but nice for everyone to see.....

Even if I don't make a dime, it will be worth it to see some other members "prized" stuff especially ChadS's stuff. Additionally it will be nice to meet other members and see fellow Tool junkies face to face.

It would also be nice to have an internet connection there to log on and post pics of the stuff and give updates from attending members as the day goes on.... Just a suggestion.

P.S. All my non truck USA MADE Sockets will be 75 cents or less!!!

Sounds like a great idea- but it's a bit too far from me for a day trip.


Would anyone in Central/Eastern NC be interested in the same kind of thing at my place??


We could do it on the same day as Fatfillup or we could pick a different day.


So, what do you SouthEast folks think????

I hope we can get a nice turnout for this meet. I was at Phil's shop wednesday, and the space is perfect for a get-together like this. The chance to meet up with so many of the people on the board will make this a really great event. Phil also has a great display of tools and boxes he has for sale and the availability of good truck brand tools for sale and trade at the meet should rival the flea market of your dreams.

My suggestion would be to make a list of people who are definitely coming:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Reply and add your name. I'm not sure I can make it quite yet, so I won't add myself to the list just yet.

I'm getting nauseated; just thinking about all the cool tools (plus, people!) and boxes that I will miss! :(

Well I sure wish I could work out some way to get there, since it's in the backyard of where I grew up and worked for a time (Westminster, Carroll County, and where my family still is), but an unintended feature could end up being rebuilding my Jeep to get me back to KY.....

Good luck with the get-together, maybe next year!
