Re: Cars and Crabs by the Bay? (MD, late Sept)

If it's the Sunday then I can definitely make it, but that is all up to you.

I don't have to steal it for you. I can buy it, pack it in dry ice and mail it to you.

I made it back home today. 8,000 plus miles in three weeks.

Earl, you seem like a straight up guy to me, but isn't pinching crabs a bit pervy? Maybe it's just envy from a far away seafood dude....

Re: Cars and Crabs by the Bay? (in MD, Sept 28th)

I did some more "restaurant research" today. The short version is that we need to meet on Sunday, the 28th. More to follow tomorrow!

Either day is out for me, but I can't speak for Tom. (Well, actually, I do it all the time, but I digress......)

The "family get-together" that was supposed to be happening the weekend of the "Jersy Beach Meet" was postponed to that weekend.

Oh. well, I kind of have my hands full anyway until the end of this month. I'll start putting my efforts into the Carve after the first.

Guess I'll see everybody there!

Thanks for the offer, Nancy.

We dumped all our 'free time and money' this summer into 3 cars for the Labor Day run 'fer sale' corner. Due to the economy, NUTHIN sold!!

Now we have to bust butt on all the stuff we neglected to recover.

We had $50,000 worth of 'prime' stuff sitting on that corner!!

All we got to show is 3 cars and a 'reciept' for the corner rent!!

GRRRRR!! This has substantially dampened our plans for the fall.....

Re: Cars and Crabs by the Bay? (MD, late Sept)

Well, here's the deal. At the risk of seeming wishy-washy, with this being the mini-ist of mini-meets, we can decide time and place. The alternatives:

A good suggestion: Hemingway's Restaurant. On the Bay, great view, a bit more upscale, when windows are open there can be traffic noise from the Bridge, does not have steamed crabs but does have a big parking lot with shade where we could meet undisturbed. Either Sat or Sunday is fine there. (Directions: from Route 50, take Exit 37 heading South on Rt. 8; this exit is just East of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Then very soon, at the light, take the first right onto Pier 1 Rd. Follow it to the end.)

My original choice: Kentmorr Restaurant and Crab House. It's by the Bay, with a big room on the marina (open on nice days, heated when cold), suitable for hanging out, full menu with steamed crabs, parking is just OK. They have a big wedding on the 27th, which is why I made the meet for the 28th in a previous email. It's five miles more South on Rt. 8, off another curvy road.

If the thread goes silent, I’ll be sitting in the parking lot at Hemingway’s around 11:30 on Sunday the 28th wondering what I said wrong! Warning - Whoever shows will be solicited to provide advice about how/if to arrange a full-scale crabfest for next year….

If you have preferences, send ‘em in! If getting messy isn't a priority, and/or you prefer Sat, we can go to Hemingway's and stay there.

Nancy

Nancy,
If you had some crabs and a place to pitch a tent and build a fire, you would have better luck.
15 years ago, the SVX was for Doctors and Lawyers. Now, it is more 'treasured' by the younger folks that don't really have the 'means' to enjoy 'upscale', but have an interest in preserving our little piece of 'History'.

The demographics have taken an 180 degree turn. Most of the members here are under 30 years old and bought their first SVX for less than $3,000.

The 'searches' I did a few months ago showed the value of our cars to be less than what a demolition derby Chrysler would bring.

(We are pushing the value of these cars up with each meet!! )
If you don't get the response you expected, blame the economy!! The members have to select a few events that they can afford to attend and beg out on the others.
We had the same problems with our local events! Registration was WAY off!
People are scared to spend money right now.

I hope that you get enough members to pull your 'gig' off!

If you try it next year, I will try my best to make it.

Last year, I booked a live band for our mini-meet. This year, I'm struggling to buy fuel to get to work!

Re: Cars and Crabs by the Bay? (MD, late Sept)

Once again, Jerry, you are full of wisdom. Thanks SO much. I wasn't expecting a large turnout, but you put together all the pieces for me nicely so I have a clear picture in case I think about another event. (Tho now I really feel over the hill!) Living on an island makes someone water-centric, and crabs are always a draw around here, so I thought I'd give it a shot. With luck, I'll still get to spend time with a few other SVX fans. If not, there is Reading....

I'll have to think about the tent & fire location, but you are right about the economy. Maybe the two or three already established big meets are the best each of us can pull off.

Looking forward to seeing you and yours at the PC.
