whats the dates for 2014?

Same as this year....Jan 1, Jan 2, Jan 3, Jan 4, Jan 5, Jan 6.... :D

Just my opinion, but methinks we should look into another hotel for Looseville. Wasn't allowed to have any fun under the canopy last year, and after getting 'shut down' rather quickly at both the Hampton and Homewood in GA this past weekend, I'm getting a little annoyed that we aren't getting much of a chance to have some late-night fun....again, just my opinion.

?? In Louisville I was up drinking till breakfast was being brought out the last night. I thought they were very accommodating??

In Atlanta we were at the outside patio till almost 5 at the Hampton. When they said something about the noise we realized all of us were staying at the homewood so we left :lol:

Either I drink too much and don't pay attention to the staff or you dont drink enough and pay attention to the staff. :laugh:

[RubberCtyRauder]

Even though I have not been to looseville, I heard someone mention before about pushing it back a couple weeks to a little later in April to allow a few more weeks of better weather and temps. I'm hopin to make it down to one of them these days.

I know..I'm one person with one income and a elderly mother near and had huge house things this year..Should be quieted down now on that front.

[Shaijack]

Lets cancel all the other events and do L-Ville three times a year.

Hope things work out that you can make it. Haggis is always looking for a bunk buddy. :wave: gordon

If i'm not supremely hungover, I'd like to do the Bourbon trail on one of the days. The buffalo trace ghost tour was amazing

Need to start a new batch of 'The Flaming Skull of Death'.

[lji372]

too bad i'm supremely hungover everyday from trying to out drink brad, I''ll never get to do the Bourbon trail. The buffalo trace ghost tour was amazing


FIXED:D

:wave: ryan!!!!!

[MM2004]

I do the Bourbon theme every other year as choices are limited on Distilleries.

Later during the month of April won't work due to the Ky Derby festivities and inflated hotel rates. Just to name a couple.

Keep in mind folks, I have a very small window of opportunity in putting this together. For example...

Mid America Trucking Show - March
Thunder Over Louisville - April
Good Friday/Easter Sunday - April

I have to avoid all the above, and will say that it looks like the beginning of April for next year.

Not having a clue what I will plan as quite frankly, I have just about exhausted all the "cool stuff" to do in Louisville.

Taking it outside of Louisville is doable, but is a serious PITA as I am out of my "stomping ground."

;)

Mike you do a tremendous job putting this event together every year and we have no right to complain about what you schedule. Honestly just chilling at the hotel and being able to relax is fine with me

mike, thanks for putting this together.
hell just hanging at the hotel and cruising for food is COOL for me.
watching brad and ryan have a drinking contest fills any other voids i have :laugh:

[Haggis]

Kentucky Motor Speedway sounds good.

...and a distillery or two is never a bad idea, and this is the year for one. ;)

[Mebot]

Also Mike,

(to echo Jerry's statement above), I'm not professing to be a mastermind when it comes to putting stuff together and heck it was my first Louisville attended last year so it might not even be my place to say this considering the folks that have been regulars for several years now... My point being is that I view Louisville as a mini-vacation. A great time to chill, relax, catch up with friends, drink, LCR, etc. Sometimes cramming a whole bunch of events into one weekend leaves me leaving feeling more exhausted than when I arrived. But I wouldn't trade a second of it without an amazing 50+ Marauder caravan on I-64:beer:

[MM2004]

Ryan,

The exhaustion you felt was a combination of alcohol consumption and lack of sleep.

:lol:

Mike.

and an angry wife nagging me all the way home!

[L.Mark]

I personally like the early April for the Louisville Meet(birthday time!!!), but whenever and whatever works for me. It's more the social element than the activities...

[Mebot]

A "must" for next year's L'ville meet is a trip to Whiskey Row, Specifically Sidebar. A coworker of mine's brother owns the joint.

Either I drink too much and don't pay attention to the staff or you dont drink enough and pay attention to the staff. :laugh:

Granted, I was only there Fri and Sat night, so don't know about the previous nights.

However, Friday night there were a handful of us sitting on the patio at the Hampton; the desk lady came out and told us she had a noise complaint and if she got another one she was going to have to call the police. Some of us went to Homewood, but we were inside, and all momentum towards having a great BS & drinking event was killed.

The next night, me, Comin' in Hot, and two other fellows were outside, no drinks, just talking (not loud, just normal conversation) and the desk person told us the same thing...she got a noise complaint and would have to call the police if she got another one.

Despite the antics at Looseville involving dropped pants and moving planters, there were still issues with being able to hang out under the canopy...just ask Doom.

I'm not saying I didn't have a good time at either place...maybe I'm just expecting too much?:dunno:

Regardless of the when and where, if I can make an event by God I'll be there....

SSHS can fill your void for hotel parking lot party without issues.

Not wanting to detract from Louisville, I hope to attend someday, just offering another opportunity

We had a pretty good time sitting by the fireplace having some drinks after the "Nice Lady" chased us away. If I remember of the ones that didn't turn in early it lasted til @ 5 am...:eek:

True, we were up until 5am.....I guess I'm being too critical about the whole deal. I just don't remember having issues at MV9 or Looseville in 2012 like there was at this year's Looseville and MV....

I'll shut up and focus on the fun times from now on....:)

[L.Mark]

No, not critical. The lady did dampen alot of peoples mood the tim e we were there. I t should be noted for any future encounters...

[lji372]

You guys did not drink enough if you cared what hotel staff had to say:lol:

[L.Mark]

This was in our predrinking stage of the night. Chris was so mad he was going to do something bad...:eek:

[MM2004]

The Hampton in Louisville let's us get by with murder in my opinion.

Keep in mind guys, if the hotel staff gets a complaint, they have to react by asking folks to quiet it down.

This has happened in the past and most likely will again in the future. Regardless of the hotel or location.

You're right, Mike....wasn't trying to create a shitstorm. Looseville is your baby and you always do a fantastic job; I'm more than happy to just be there and hang out with the rest of the crew. Looking forward to 2014!

Hey guy's just think about it! 5 AM and someone said to much bs going on! Oh also DOOM One Bad Merc left several Black strip's in the Parking lot with open headers! You would have been proud of him and NO ONE threatened to kick him out of the club! Even Mac had a grin on his face!
