Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Putting on a company meeting the last week of June, would prefer it be someplace in the "central" us that is easy and somewhat cheap to get to.Any ideas?My thoughts so far are:Boulder, COAustin, TXMemphis, TNNew Orleans, LAChicago, IL --> probably 86 this just due to price. Hotels downtown in the summer are awful and we need a meeting room

Where are the offices located that you worry most about distance wise?

Do a good chunk of those attending bring the wife and kids since school is out?

How many people are you expecting to attend?

Each of these dictates a part of my response.

All men, Boston, LA, Detroit. Distance isn't that big of a deal as getting home on a Thursday night after 5 is the only concern. Easy to fly West. This eliminates the West Coast though. Has to be at least Mt. Time.

I am thinking Reno, Boulder, Memphis, Louisville, and Miami.

Reno- Shit to do after meeting, decent night life, hookers for the poor souls who want to spend on some strange

Boulder- also great night life, and smaller cities so the cost should be easy to work with

Memphis- BBQ, Blues, and just one hell of a city. Tons of history too

Louisville- why not look into a place that makes some of the best bats used in baseball today?

Miami- the beaches, bikinis.....enough said

I can see all these cities working, and being a good place to do a meeting at a good price.

For me, #1 wins. #2 & #3 tie.

If you ever chrome delete though, number 3 will look out of place I feel.

:)

THanks J.

Reno is way too far West.

Louisville - baseball isn't a sport so... tongue.png

Miami isn't so "Central"

Glad to see our lists interweave themselves though

No way to see them in the desired size. Can show you about what the tire profile will be. It is even the truck from the first shot.

2012-03-19_184553.jpg those are stock reproductions in 24 with 305/35s on them.

I really want the first ones. Amusingly they are lighter than the stock wheels once rubbered up. 2lbs less overall.

Reasonable too at $1500 shipped....but they only come in that color or chrome sad.png I want polished or raw aluminum.

I gave up orgasms for lent.

Wife is extra cranky.

 

My god daughter ask me what I gave up and I told her saying nice words, all I can do now is swear. You should have seen her face.

That dark color is a nicer color than polished for your truck IMHO.
