SEMA 2012, Lateral G Party

[bigtyme1]

Hello everybody, I'm not sure if I'll make it this year or not but I'd like to keep up the tradition and the great network of friends we have all become. Please join us for a few beers and laughs while meeting people from all over the world meeting new member and old. If I can be there I will but please keep the tradition going. Its the best time to meet the people we need to keep the hobbie alive. each other! :cheers:

Flamingo seams to be the place for Most of us Laterail G members to hang out. We will be having the Wednesday night gathering again at the back of the hotel. There is also a new bar and grille that has opened this year in the same area. Let me know what its like.

Wednesday night around 6:30
Here's a link to a pdf file of the Flamingo property -- if you click the link you 'll be taken to a map of the place.... the SIN CITY BREWING COMPANY. Follow signs to the Moneral you can't miss it. See ya there at 6:30

[bigtyme1]

Greg, Cant find the old PDF file for the Map of the hotel. do you still have it? I tried do a copy and paste from last year but the link is not working.

[Vegas69]

I'm in, who else?

Awww shucks fellas. Just struck out w the kids. They reminded me I was in Montana on business last Halloween and promised not to miss it this year so I am out for the party.

I will be around late Wed night through Optima so hope to see you guys there. Worst part is I will now be Greg's whipping boy. Good thing he doesn't drink...:yes:

[Cole]

Would it be possible to move this to Thursday the 1st???

Wednesday being Halloween and having 3 munchkins to cater to I am having trouble finding it "ok" to pawn them off on a sitter. That and all the sitters have something better to do, go figure?




Possibilities??


Thoughts???

:lateral:

[Stuart Adams]

Thursday is usually the pro touring dinner. That's why it's on Wednesday.

[GregWeld]

Bring the little munchkins along and we'll teach them how to trick or treat for beers!


Kidding of course....


Wednesday is pretty much it. Friday is out and Saturday is OUSCI...

[bigtyme1]

Who are you calling little munchkin :rofl: :rofl:

I will be one of the new ones.

Been wanting to go to this for the past 10 years. Guess What! I will be there from Wed thru Sat this time.

[DFRESH]

Looks like DG and I will be coming into town---we will be arriving on Friday morning early---sorry to miss the party on Wed night though.

[nicks67ca]

I will be there for work for both AAPEX and SEMA. I would love to stop in and meet some of you!

Nick

[bigtyme1]

Well it's official I will not be able to make SEMA this year but please keep the tradition going. My first back surgery did not work out and I just got home from the second. I now have 4 titanium rods in my back and 2 plastic disk. It's going to be at least 8 weeks for recovery and 6 months with a back brace. I was really hoping to start a new project this winter but I think I'm going to get into RC's traxxas for a while. Mainly to exercise my new puppy.
Anyway have a great time and I'll be looking forward to next year with you guys. If you feel like picking up some cool posters and chokees for my shop let me know. thanks my friends and have a good time :cheers: I'll really miss the lateral g family.

Thanks
Mark

[GregWeld]

Well poopie for you Mark! How are we going to cram 8 people in a 4 people car like last year and live to tell about it?

Won't be the same without ya buddy! But get well and we'll do it all again next year!


:lateral: :cheers:

I am out too.... cant break away this year. Perhaps I will come up and help Mark excercise his new puppy.

[Spiffav8]

Mark that sucks. Hope the recovery is smooth and that the 2nd time around works! You'll be missed, but we will see you next year for sure.

Have fun chasing the dog with the RC car! :lol:

:cheers:

[64pontiac]

[64pontiac]

Ok dont get the Canuk started with Bob and Doug Mackenzine/Beer jokes, or this will get stupid fast!

Hoser.:cheers:

[Chassisworks]

It looks like I'll be showing my face. I'll try and drag some of the crew along with me.

[67XR7]

Remember that is Halloween night so there are going to be some sights out to see, even for Vegas.

Plenty! we went for sema/halloween last year and I suggest for those not going to the brewery to go down to fremont st to start your evening! lots of Halloween fun and the vegas halloween parade. If I wasnt having my first child in about 8 weeks Id be there for sure!

[Vegas69]

Can't make it this year guys. I'll have to harrass you guys at OUSCI.

[Stielow]

I'll be there. Sorry I've missed a bunch of this stuff gettin the car ready. Just working on my SEMA calender and added this in.

[bigtyme1]

If anybody happens to see a Genesis sedan fixed up with ground affects, wheels spoilers, etc. take some picks for me please. I'm trying to see what is out there for these vehicles. Also need some vender info if possible.
Thanks:cheers:

[64pontiac]

I will see everyone there! Just got on the plane, as usual (every year at sema time) it snowed last night so Vegas is a welcome break before I lock myself in the shop for winter and become anti social!

Wow, this sounds like fun, unfortunately, I have to head back on Wed to get back to work. I'll be hitting the show on Tuesday and Wed morning. If anyone is around Tuesday evening let me know.

[frojoe]

Are two Canadian boys welcome to this party? I know none of you in person and guaranteed to be the youngest there, so be nice!

[bigtyme1]

Of course A, always welcome

[geberhard]

So am very happy, just booked flights so should be getting in Vegas early. Still need to get a couple tickets for SEMA, so wish me luck :) Anyone has leads on how I can get a couple? I have several friends on the business but sadlyt nobody registered, and this is a total dream come true.

Thanks!

Great turnout last night! Pic isn't so great but it was the best I could do with a cell phone and dark light.... I was using the new Panorama function in the iPhone.

It was a great time!

Looking forward to a little more fun before everyone has to head home! :thumbsup:

[bigtyme1]

Getting bigger every year. Thanks for the pick Greg

[bigtyme1]

Thanks for all the pics Curtis, almost like being there. Except for the women , drinks, all the food, prizes and giveaways. Nevermind going back to sleep again !

[GregWeld]

The sad part of this is that nobody from Lat G MANAGEMENT took the initiative to call ahead and make sure the place was staffed.

Personally I'd be happy to pay $20 or so and have some snacks served etc. and have a couple waiters etc to take drink orders. I dont know what others would feel about that?

[skatinjay27]

Speaking from the other side.
Please call ahead and let them know. I hated when at the shop people would come in and say hey were gonna have a party of like 50 people here in about an hour what kind of deal can you give me on food! Lol
I wanted to tell piss off, and I should charge you double for putting me in a under staffed bind! Haha

[GregWeld]

Thus my post. There was one bartender... And he had no clue we were coming!

This "event" was well known in advance. To me... It was up to Lat G management to make it a good event - which it was - but to take the reins and run with it etc.

[bigtyme1]

That's my fault, I normally get there Tuesday and let them know what's going on. But in the past they never made a bid deal about just called another bartender in if needed . Sorry I was not there. As far as snaks go, they never really had anything unless I set up like 200 people minimum at 25.00 per person. I tried that last year. Ill figure out snacks for next year

[GregWeld]

Not really complaining Mark.... and it's not really your "job".... I was just saying that I think this is to the benefit of LAT G --- and that they should see the turn out and pick up the ball and make this a real get-together??


We have a whole year -- and it wouldn't take much to make this a little easier. People were hungry - and were leaving etc to get something to eat -- or we were eating really late etc.

Personally I hated to leave but I was so hungry I finally just had to go!

:thumbsup: :lateral:

[bigtyme1]

Did you by any chance check out the new restaurant outside? That is a possibility for next year. Ill work on it, I really enjoy doing it, I just slept on it this year. If I could get a head count that would make it easier

[intocarss]

Looks like a fun time! Hey I recognized Greg :D

Regarding the Lat-G get together, how many people attended?

How many had rooms at the get together hotel?

How many vendors attendance?

We ate there before coming over to the party. It was good but some may find it pricey. They had a nacho platter, the Mayan Pyramid, it was taller than Greg so 4 or 5 of them would have curbed any appetite issues that anyone may have had.

Good to meet you Greg, First year for sema was awesome, was cool to put a face to some of the lateral-g guys, cool dudes, It would be good if they could figure out a organized dinner or something, Hope to see you all next year:cheers:

sorry man. This was something that Mark had started and was always informal. Never thought of making it more than it was. When we did the parties at Sandlins we did a lot of planning and it was a ton of work, but never considered this as anything like that.

I always thought it was an informal gathering where people could see old friends, and meet people they post with and put a face to the name. We do the same thing at SEMA, Power Tour, etc.

I guess we could turn it into more of a dinner type deal.

I like the casual get together. I suppose a back yard BBQ atmosphere would be nice. The question is really more of a where than anything.

The question is really more of a where than anything.Is there a meeting room at the hotel that could be used for the evening set up with a light buffet and wet bar with a couple servers? Negotiate a Lat-G group rate for rooms and the meeting room? Just a thought.

We'll definitely check into it for next year, but as Mark said they're probably going to want $5K or more (200 people X $25 each), so we'd need a commitment from a bunch of people to be there, with payment in advance.

Maybe we could setup some burn barrels to BBQ on in a vacant lot. A huge B.Y.O. type of event. If the cops show up.....we all just run for it.

Never hurts to ask well in advance. There may be vendor's that can't afford a SEMA space willing to help sponsor also.

I'd say keep it more of an informal thing. I unfortunately didn't make it to this Lat-g thing as a friend and I got into the beers at the other end of the strip, but this was my first year at SEMA, as well as my first year at the Pro-touring dinner. As cool as the dinner was to to the famous faces in person, other than a short mingling in hotel lobby before the dinner started, it seemed pretty difficult to meet/introduce to new people. I'd say about 90% of the tables were reserved for the big companies and shops and everyone sat in their own groups, exchanging inside jokes etc. As an outsider, I think an informal walk-around/beer drink/****-shoot bar thing would be way cooler.. regret not making the Lat-g one this year but definitely want to make it to next year's.

Just my $0.02

[Spiffav8]

How's about we do it up DFRESH style and have a Taco truck show up?

[GregWeld]

I wasn't promoting a fancy shindig..... I was just saying that it would have been nice to be able to get a drink without a line up at the bar --- so a SIMPLE phone call to warn them about our little get together a week in advance should get us a waitress or maybe two....

The place is fine as far as I'm concerned. It's central - it works....


Jody -- you and I can email about next year.


I was more trying to PING someone - either you or a mod - that if someone was on it from LAT G -- to get the bar "private" for the night - or add a cocktail waitress etc. This is has been done now for 3 years or so. It's a LAT G event... take the ball and run with it a little. :cheers:

I understand what you're saying, but this was not something started by us, it was started by Mark. I appreciate him doing that. :thumbsup: But I never felt we should step in and take it over, it was not our deal. I had not even considered and had no knowledge that Mark was pre-warning them that we were coming or I would have done it.

Maybe we could find a place that had drinks and food, and would WANT us there, instead of trying to get a minimum amount of money to have us show up, where they would then make a lot more money. ;) Seems to me there has to be places that would love to have 100+ customers showing up to eat and drink for several hours.

[GregWeld]

Agree with you there Jody!


It just would be nice if there was some service and some food AVAILABLE to purchase for those that would want to take advantage of that.... that way a group could sit down BS - eat - have a couple beers or whatever.... and not have to be starving and STANDING after standing all day. :thumbsup:

[ironworks]

I agree the low key setting is nice. I would skip it if it was a formal dinner.

Maybe if we could find a better restaurant/Bar it might be little better. But I almost think we could just order some pizza to be delivered to Sin City and achieve the same result.

The Johnny rockets in the Flamingo is crazy expensive. I paid 32 bucks for 2 cheeseburger combos.

I like the pizza idea! That would be perfect. I'd personally chip in $250 for some pizzas. Then add a waitress and it would be all great!

[bigtyme1]

Ill look into it for next year, the main reason I took over is because we had to stop the big party at Sanders and people still wanted a gathering. Ill do some home work for next year and ill make sure we keep it going

Jody, if you want to get togethor on this let me know, if not I will handle

I'm happy to help in whatever way you need Mark, let me know. Just didn't want to take over something that I wasn't running. And I definitely don't want to get scolded by Greg again............ :lol:

I didn't mean to scold anyone....:unibrow: My comments were meant to try to get a MINOR IMPROVEMENT in what is a great - easy - fun event. I agree with Rodger - we don't need or want a formal deal.... but after a very long couple of days of walking - people are hungry - they're thirsty - and they want to be able to meet and greet folks that they've been waiting to see in person for a year or more. It just would be nice if people didn't have to leave or leave early. A few pizzas and some faster easier beverage refills would fit the bill perfectly.

My offer stands and I could be persuaded to double it if we need it. If they (SIN CITY) are willing and able -- all we need is some more seating (brought in from the outside patio or?) and a continuous flow of hot pizza... and a way to know/see names so we can identify who's who. A name tag would also keep non Lat G people from scarfing our pizza (just a thought)? I hate those things (name tags) but it would really help in a group this big.

Greg,

I wouldn't call it a scolding. It's obviously something that everyone has been thinking about and wanting. It needs to be addressed. Our community has a lot of great people and part of the reason we all go to SEMA is to meet up. As a member I would love to see a bit more done so we can enjoy a nice evening together and I'll do whatever I can to support that. I like that Mark started this and if he wants to keep after it, then I'll back him up, which is what I see you doing. Let's keep the ideas flowing and see what we can come up with.
