St. Louis Meet (Dinner) 4/26/06
 

I will be in St. Louis the week of 4/23 for business. I will mainly be at the Maryville Tech Center for training. I was wondering while I was there that week if anyone would like to meet up for dinner? Would like to meet some 7 and 8 owners.

Date- 4/26/06
Time- 7pm
Where- Hard Rock Cafe-St Louis
450 Saint Louis Union Sta, St Louis, MO

Sounds good to me. Just post more info as the date gets closer and I am sure more people will be interested too. I lived in KC for a few years myself. You can email me at ponytailgt@hotmail.com or post here.

I would be interested. Let me know as more is planned.

Thanks,
Phil

Cool. Just an FYI- I do not know St. Louis at all, lol.

We can work on the location after we determine the approximate date/time and head count. I'm sure we can come up with something good.

if you all decide on a time and place, just post it really big and loud so we all know...and I'll do my best to be there. I want to start meeting the folks in this group :)

Im thinking either Wed (4/26) or Thursday night (4/27). I would love to do it Friday night (4/28) but I must check out of the hotel Friday morning.

Does anyone know the downtown area of St. Louis? Again, I do not know St. Louis so restaurant options are more than welcome. I will be by the Maryville University.

Either of those nights is good for me, preferrably Wednesday though. I live on the east side, so not too familiar with the restaurant scene myself over in StL.

I live in st louis and am pretty familiar with the city. I'm in b/c I'd like to meet some more 8 owners as well. I'm not sure about the 27th cause I'm working on getting cards tickets for that night, though I'm not sure if I'll come through on that or not.

I'm game.

What is everyone's food preference? I am selecting the date of 4/26 unless everyone prefers a different date.

I would like to finalize things by this Wed (4/19).

I might be game. I'll check in a little closer to see whats decided.

Sorry, I messed up. I though we were talking about May. I'll still be in Dayton suffering through law finals. Believe me I'd rather by in the 'Lou. Hope everyone has a great time.

Mangolian Bar-B-Que Buffet
100 Four Seasons Shopping Ctr, Chesterfield, MO

Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar: Chesterfield
1095 Chesterfield Pkwy E, Chesterfield, MO

TGI Friday's

Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar: Creve Couer

Any other choices? If this doesnt workout I can change the date to a second week in May as I will be in St. Louis again.

April 26th is perfect for me. Hard Rock kind of sounds good. As long as I've lived in this area and been to Union Station, I've never eaten or been to Hard Rock.

I have never been to hard rock period, lol.

probably a better chance of being able to park all of the 8's together at Hard Rock than some of the other places

So are we figuring on Wednesday, April 26th at Hard Rock at Union Station in downtown St. Louis? Do we have an approximate time yet? 6pm maybe?

Yes, I edited my first post. I put 7pm. Give whoever comes time to get home and change if needed.

I will be in a lowered black 8 with tint and clears. I should be there first since I do not know the area.

I'll see you there, and I'll probably be a bit early too since I will be coming straight from work in Maryland Heights.

HEY. I saw your car in Shiloh. I live in Shiloh down the street from Target, and I think I saw your car in the parking lot of STL Bread Co.

I'll try to make this dinner on Wed. night.

Awesome, I live on North Main St in Shiloh. Maybe we'll run into each other in town sometime. Looking forward to Hard Rock.

Bump

I should be there too, black 8 w/ tint and rb spoiler, around 6:45

Come on everyone...tonight's the night. The more the merrier. If anyone missed it, we are meeting about 7pm at Hard Rock Cafe at Union Station. If no one knows where this is, it's off Market St just down from the Savvis Center. Hope to see all of you there. If you look at my picture, you'll know what 8 to look for.

Yay for meet tonight.

Very cool to meet you fisherdn. Hopefully, we can get a bigger showing (more than 2) next time :)

Sorry about the less-than-stellar turnout guys. I had a friend in from out-of-town that night and we had a night out with the old group from high school. Couldn't pass that up.

As the weather warms up (and my life slows down a little for the summer) there will surely be some more people hangin' out. I know they're out there! Every RX-8 owner I randomly come across I mention this site and the fact that we have semi-regular get togethers. Even if a get-together means that we all go to Modena's house and rip out our suspensions, exhausts, intakes, upholstry, mirrors, etc. then hop in the pool and eat some BBQ.

We've got a couple RX-8's and at least one race-prepped RX-7 coming to the PDX track day at Gateway on May 21st. We could turn that into a "driving meet." Even if you don't want to drive your car fast (legally) you can possibly sign up to be a corner worker or something and get to see what an RX-8 does on a race track up close and personal. I know I'm pumped about it! :boink:

I apologize for the no show on my part also. Had some family stuff come up at the last minute. I was really bummed I couldn't come. I guess I got a pay back today. On my way to work I caught some debrit flying out of the a guys truck bed on my newly repaired hood and windshield (earlier hail damage). Just got the car back a week ago, and now this. I have a dent in the front of the hood, with a scratch running up the whole length. Looks like someone keyed my hood. That scratch then continues up my windshield in two places. The hood and windshield are brand new with the repair. Can I NOT have a nice car?!?!

It's cool guys. Maybe some other time.

Sorry to hear about the accident baseballgenius80.

Thanks for the sympathy. State Farm is nice enough to be taking care of it for me.
