[CBT]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet:beer:

[03calitejas]

I had mentally ruled this out this year but I was just talking with my sweetie about lapping on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and her eyes lit up :D

[FastMerc]

What do the shirts look like?

[MM03MOK]

What do the shirts look like?
In due time. Still in design.

Oh the suspense!

[Bluerauder]

Is anybody thinking about working the King Tut Exhibit into their schedule of activities. If so .... what day & time? I am considering extending through Sunday and departing Monday unless I can work it into an already busy itinerary.

King Tut Exhibit >>>>>> http://www.kingtut.org/about_the_exhibition

Tutankhamun The Golden King and The Great Pharaohs

The Children's Museum of Indianapolis
June 29, 2009 - October 2009

[Ms. Denmark]

Charlie, Mr. Man and I want to see that exhibit. We actually took 2 weeks off (9/26-10/11). Our plan is to leave for Iowa the Sat. before M7. Spend Sun. night through Wed am in Iowa then drive to Indy. We can stay over Sunday and even Mon. to see King Tut. Then we head to New Hampshire. Let's make a firm plan. Call or pm me.:)

[Ladyhawke]

We would like to see the King Tut exhibit also. Either fitting it in or maybe going on Sunday. But Sunday will depend on my work schedule that I won't know for sure until closer to the time.

Aw just go do the whole thing .... the Army will still be there when you get back. GEN Casey, CSA says you gotta make time for your friends and family. It's called stress relief. :D

[MyTMerc]

Friday afternoon? Maybe??

We can't do Sunday or Monday but Friday afternoon would be OK. We plan on leaving after the Sunday breakfast. Don't let us influence your schedule though. We were not planning on going to the drag racing event so we were going to fill the time some other way.

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Thanks 'BlueRauder' for the advice...I'll see IF I have to go AWOL to make it all! :cool: :beer: Stress relief is good! Like many others from the Indy area..since I used to live there; only 20 MIN. from the host hotel, I'll be staying with Friends when I go...BUT i'm IN for all I can get to and will sign up soon!

We were not planning on going to the drag racing event so we were going to fill the time some other way.Shaun, we're open to Friday afternoon if that's what everyone else decides. Would like to go with Chris/Gordon, you/Diane, Charlie/Bernie, Brian/Nat, Paul/Susan and ANYBODY else who wants to see King Tut?! We're flexible.

[DOOM]

I want to see how much "BLING" king tut had.

I may be going this one alone if my wife can't swing the time off from work. We are still working on it; but her office is short-handed during that period. :(

[Ms. Denmark]

Rex, Doom, Charlie, talk to Chris (LadyHawke) about a plan and let's do it.:)

[Ms. Denmark]

We'd also like to hook up with Mr./Mrs. FordFrk for KING TUT. FastMerc, Ken, Mary/Bob are you guys at all interested? Anybody else for a group tour? The more the merrier. Plus we can get a discount I think.;)

[Ms. Denmark]

Tickets still available... got mine last week...http://www.ticketmaster.com/venueartist/41263/1254084?When are you going Jim?

[james79stang]

I have tickets for sunday... probably leave just after breakfast... do exibit.. then start on the way home... my ticket references 10am.

[Loco1234]

I'd love to go to the King Tut exhibit & I'm sure PaCammer would too. Although we are still unsure if Indy will be be in our futures... Gonna see how things roll out...

OK, Bernie is back on for the trip to Indy. Her co-workers plans changed and opened up the slot ... so we will be two for MV7. :D

Have we settled on a time for the King Tut Exhibit on Friday? Probably have to get tickets locked soon.

I'd be up for this. Right now looks like they have Adult Matinee available for Friday the 2nd 2 pm til closing. How's that sound?

BTW, i like that you switched back to Ms. Denmark.

Not sure that I understand what this ^^^^ means. Is the Hog Roast taking place somewhere else? I am still interested in the train. Will someone have the information for making reservations at the hotel or can it be posted here?

Who is in for the train ride?

[Ms. Denmark]

We were thinking about taking the train ride, Charlie. But wondering where the hog roast is? If it's in Tipton then the train should work for us.

I'd kinda like to ride the train as well, guess we'll have to see what's up when we get there.

[MM03MOK]

The Hog Roast is taking place at the car show. We have two shelters at Forest Park so that will be our late lunch/early dinner. MM.Net is sponsoring the Hog Roast instead of the pizza dinner.

The train and pizza are separate tickets. More info here:

http://itm.org/events/pizza.htm

There are 3 pizza restaurants to choose from. Two of the restaurants offer buffets. The train leaves from the vicinity of the car show in Forest Park and goes to Tipton and back.

Reservations can be made by calling our visitor services manager at (317) 773 6000 or by calling the Museum gift shop at (317) 776 7887. The days and hours for both are listed to the left. Phone reservations close 53 hours prior to train departure. That is at noon on the Thursday prior to that train.

Departs Forest Park - 5:00 PM Departs Tipton - 7:30 PM Arrives Forest Park - 8:15 PM
Cost does NOT include dinner
(Train Ride Tickets include Museum Admission)

I am pretty sure that Bernie and I will be doing the train thing. We did a "Wine Train" along the Rhine in Germany ... that was a blast. This oughta be fun too.

yeah, especially if we bring along some wine. :D

[Ken]

yeah, especially if we bring along some wine. :DI'm planning on running to Simmon's and Brown County Wineries on the way in for a couple cases! :beer:

[Green96]

A friend of mine is one of the engineers for the trains. I can see if he is going to be making this run. If he is, he would probably let anyone interested come up and check out the engine before it departs.

That would be a treat. Count me in. :2thumbs: Hope your friend has duty that night.

[MERCMAN]

if you plan on taking the train and NOT eating at the picnic, please let Mary know. We need an accurate head count for the caterer

You need to make reservations here (even if you are just riding the train and not eating in Tipton.)

http://www.itm.org/events/pizza.htm

Be aware that travel time on the train is no more than 1/2 hour each way and there is a 2 hour layover in Tipton before the return trip.

[FW_Linc/Merc]

I will be tuning Friday morning and trying to meet up with the group before Muncie but not sure where? The last information on Panther was this:

Visit Panther racing(tentative) 2:00PM- STILL TENTATIVE
http://www.pantherracing.com/index.cfm

I am not planning on going to the Zoo and it sounded like Supper was adhock. Any suggestions? I am heading down Thursday night after supper.

Anyone?

[MM03MOK]

Panther Racing was so up in the air because of their race schedule. With some going to the King Tut exhibit, we decided to pass on Panther Racing. Some can spend more time at the zoo or it's free time. It's hard not wanting to cram so much in that it allows too little time to do what we want to do.

[MERCMAN]

Panther racing is a no-go, so relax :)

[N40GL]

Anyone interested in perhaps going here? $65 for an hour kart rental.

[Darrin]

I think I just got freed up for the hog roast. I know I can make the car show.

Is it possible to fit one more for the hog roast?

Let me know.

Thanks much.
