What are you two talking about 1/2 from Chi Town. You need to buy a map or go to map quest.  Its just 18 mils for half way from Detroit to Chicago.  It is on I-94 east on the lower part of Michigan about 40 mils north of Ind, and 74 mils from the tip of ILL and Michigan line.

idio .... nevermind.

Anyway, Camo .... I think that you should definitely go. Not to mention it'll MAKE you finish "Mayhem". Trust me .... nothing like getting ready for a show will make you get on a timeline. I'd go w/ you, but I'll be in NC ... Oh, well.

You should take some of your other stuff as well .... just do it!! It'll be your first show and you'll have a blast! I garauntee it!

I'll probably be there. Might bring a build or two, we'll see.

By the way, what's with this "How far is it from Chicago to K-Zoo" argument? It's 140 miles. Confused [%-)]

its no argument buddy...more a "misunderstanding". i said it was about a 1/2 hour from chicago and chas said i needed map quest as it wasnt even close. i wasnt really worried or trying to say that it was only a 1/2 hour away so much as just simply saying it was on that side of the state closer to chicago!!! however, people in here lately have been real combative and irritable (myslef included) so i guess it's just what's going on lately. whatever though as i have more important things to worry about than if k-z is actually 1/2 hour or an hour or 15 hours away!!! it was just a broad generalization that i guess in here you have to be 100% specific all the time!!! but chas and i are cool as i know what he was trying to say so no big deal! Thumbs Up [tup]

as far fermis picking me up...that too was a joke buddy...just in case you didnt get it...this really sux i have to be so literal but if that's what it takes so be it (no fun in that but whatever). i wold like to go, but i would like to go with someone else even more!!! maybe the guys in my ipms will go...who knows!

 I'm right off M-36/US23 about 1/2 way between 94 & 96. Last time I went, I took 23 to 94. So, you'd come out 696/96 to 23? or 94 through Detoilet. Plenty of time to figure something out! I know, I'll have 2 large boxes. I got a 4door sebring, plenty of room, good size trunk to bring home all the goodies(that must be smuggled back to the recesses of the stash!)

You guys come on over and hope to see you all. Sorry for coming off like that Camo just thought seeing as if a guy needed to know how far it was and people post stupid stuff (not saying you did) as to how far things are and they get it wrong.  Just hope he can also come over and enjoy the day.

 To be honest, I don't even remember getting on the computer last night. I'd say, them was some good Long Islands!!!

Woke up at 4:30am feeling great, watched a couple episodes of Married with Children, cleaned the garage, set up a treestand, took 2 dumps, played my guitar for 1/2 hr, shot my bow(deer season's right around the corner), all by 9:00am. Now, I'm still trying to figure out what the heck to do with the rest of my day.

Jeremy, you haven't had one until you've been to the Peanut Barrel in East Lansing and try theirs. If you ever play a show up this way, I highly recommend it. Good burgers there, too.

I'm trying to finish up a 1/72 Mustang by showtime. I don't really consider it a "contest-worthy" piece, but I'll probably display it anyhow, just for fun.
