Thanks to those who came out. Since it's getting to be around the holidays, we'll have a meet sometime (more than likely a weekday) in December and then probably not another until January.

Everyone have a great week and a fabulous Thanksgiving!

khans
12-28-2008, 09:57 PM
Okay, looking at having the next meet around the 27-28th. This sound okay? Any suggestions? I'm totally willing to hit up some ice skating downtown. :)

khans
12-29-2008, 05:59 PM
Color me dumb... I was looking at the January 2008 calendar. :) Silly me!

Would Jan. 5-6 (Monday or Tuesday) work better for people? That's a week from today. I'm thinking Tuesday at 6 or 7 (so people have time to get here from Ames).

ORRRRR would we like to have a meet in Ames? I'd be down for that. :) Any dinner location preference?


After that, our next meet will probably be helping with the DM Rail Jam at the end of the year (the 31st).

khans
01-08-2009, 09:02 AM
Any ideas for our next meet?

I haven't heard anything from Nick about Rail Jam, so I'm not sure if he's needing our help. If nothing else, I'd like to maybe go and watch for a while.

Anyone have ideas for February?

khans
01-19-2009, 09:20 AM
Okay, so I'm thinking the first weekend in February for our next meet.

What would you guys like to do? Do we want to try ice skating? Orrrrrr a movie night? Orrrrr an Ames meet (maybe Hickory Park)? Orrrrr another F&O meet? Orrrrrrr bowling? Orrrrr.......?

khans
01-23-2009, 01:02 PM
Does anyone check this anymore? :mad: *hrmph*

I'm really hoping I can get input on a date. Either the first or second weekend in February. Anyone????????

THansenite
01-23-2009, 01:05 PM
Either one works. Just pick a date, place, and time and I'll get the title changed. :up:

khans
01-23-2009, 01:15 PM
I know, but it would be nice to have some input so some people can make it... as opposed to 2-3-4 people...

Sweeeet. I'm thinking in March we'll have a usual meet, and then maybe go to Big Dog's Billards or Styx and play some pool if everyone is down with that. It's usually like $5 or $6 to play per hour.

I'm debating about the next meet. Sonic? Pool? Photoshoot? I want to do something different.

THansenite
04-07-2009, 09:26 AM
I'd say lets hold of on the photoshoot until May. That way, it will be warmer out and we'll have a little bit more time to pull in more members.

khans
04-07-2009, 09:28 AM
Agreed, but we also need to get photos in for the yearbook VERY soon. I might just snag last years stuff.


Oooohhh we could do my tag day competition!!! :D

Aw that sucks!

khans

Tony doesn't know if he's coming.

I'm debating if we should just scrap this meet. Since no one is coming out again besides the same people...

THansenite
05-19-2009, 08:17 AM
Yea, I have a ton of stuff to get done tonight, then I'd only be at the meet for a bit since I have to drive across town for my bass lesson.

khans
05-19-2009, 10:20 AM
Yeah, I have a ton of stuff to do before the weekend.

I don't know what to do to get people to come out, honestly. We have only 5-7 dedicated members. Having meets is getting to be pointless.

khans
05-20-2009, 01:05 PM
I will look into doing something cheap/free for the next meet.

I'd like to do a potluck or bbq, but I really need a minimum of 8 people. If we can't get that, then it won't happen.

THansenite
05-20-2009, 01:10 PM
People always complain about doing stuff that is cheap, but when we go out to eat, it doesn't get much cheaper than that. People don't HAVE to get a full meal. They can get an appetizer or something.

It is sad that some people just use money as an excuse. Stuff at George's doesn't get much cheaper. People could either spend $2.00 on a chili dog or spend $10 making something for a potluck. People like to complain and find reasons not to do some things.

I can see that some people are busy or have stuff going on. That's fine. Everyone can't make every meet. The people that just skip because they are lazy or trying to come up with an excuse aren't true Scikotics. These are the people that are going to fall by the wayside and loose out on the upcoming "perks" that will be happening to Des Moines Scikotics.

We can't make them come. It will be their loss though.

Will plan the next one probably on a Thursday then. That would work out well, then we can discuss if we have a show that weekend or whatever.

Richard, what time works best for you two? Evenings, but like, 6 or 7, would that work?

Girlie_xA
06-09-2009, 01:18 PM
Hey Des Moines Scikos!!! I was hoping we could all get together soon for a meet. With the weather warming up, I think it's the perfect time to have a shin-dig. Not only do we need to get together and just hang out, but we can also talk about recruiting opportunities. So, any ideas?

khans
06-09-2009, 01:21 PM
Yeah in the process of getting something together for next weekend (the 20 or 21st).

I'd like to do a potluck but doubt there's enough interest since we have so few members still.

We could maybe hit a park or something? Do a little ice cream social or something?

Chewy
06-09-2009, 01:34 PM
Do a little ice cream social or something?

Tina was just talking about us doing the same thing last week. Do they still call it an ice cream social? What do the kids call it now? :lol: God I'm OLD

I figured I have a cooler, so but like 5 or 6 pints of different flavors and head to a park and veg. :)

That sounds good though. Just finding a park, getting out some frisbees, footballs, and some grub would be fun.

Our next meet is coming up next weekend!!


When: Saturday, June 20th
Time: 6:00pm
Where: Lakeview Shelterhouse
Address: n/a?
Map:
At the bottom of the map: Lakeview is circled in pink, Camp Dodge is circled in purple, and Merle Hay Road is indicated by the pink line.
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd297/khansen2005/SaylorvilleLakeMap.jpg

If you came to the August potluck/grill out last year, it will be in the same place. If you weren't able to come last year, here's a little breakdown! :smile:

Kelsi's Awesome Directions:
When on I-80, take the Merle Hay Road exit. Go north (opposite of the auto mile) on Merle Hay Road. You keep going and going and going. You get to a T-intersection. Hang a left on that. You'll go past Camp Dodge (the airplane & tanks) and I believe it's the next drive after that, you smash a right. It says Lakeview on the sign. Drive in there and to the left there is a shelter house. This is what I'm hoping to get.
*Note: If it's full and you don't see Scions, go to the bottom there is a big parking lot. This is sorta the back-up plan. :)


FOOD: PLEASE bring your own drink and a little something to share. Just bring salad, fruit, cookies, whatever. Try to not bring chips (if someone else brings them) since we always end up with like, 8 bags. :lol:

What to Bring:
- Your own drink
- Any condiments you may want
- Lawn chair or blanket
- Frisbees, soccer ball, any other (non-destructive) outdoor games
*I am pretty sure pets are allowed, so if you bring a dog or other pet, make sure to bring bags for poo. :up:


*I believe Hunter has poker sticks so we can cook them over a fire.



Roll Call (please put what you'll be bringing):

1. Kelsi & Pete: dogs/burgers, plates/etc., catsup, cheese, MARSHMALLOWS, cookies.
2.
3.

Sadly, I won't be able to make it. Kelsi already knows this, but I'll be at a Wedding in Iowa City on Saturday. Ima try to be at the next one for sure though!

I'm just curious, but how often, if at all, do we (you) have all-Iowa meets with other Iowa chapters like Cedar Rapids?

For sure, that's cool. :) Have a safe drive and we'll have to catch you next time!

Um, we haven't yet. We tried to get one last year and it was a flop. I know the end of next month we're getting together with Minneapolis (info will be posted next week). I'll look into planning an all-Iowa meet with CR and ScinergyIA sometime in August. I'm just glad there's interest! :up:

Thank you guys all so much for coming out!!! I had a blast!

I had told Jason that if I didn't have 6-8 people for sure that were going to come, I didn't want to plan this and buy a bunch of meat for no reason. I went ahead with it anyway, and like, 10 (and a half!) people showed up!!!

We'll be doing a meet sometime during the week probably not this week, but the following week. I'm thinking on a Wednesday so Brad can make it out (hopefully!).

But yeah, thanks again! It was good to see everyone, and it was awesome to meet you Chris! I really hope you come out again and hang out with us!!! You really seemed to hit it off with everyone. :D

I had a great time at this one. It was a little warm but started to cool down after we were there a little while. Olin crashed before we even left the lakeview area.

Chris. It was good to meet you even though I didn't really get a chance to talk to you but I'm sure we'll see you around. :)

Everyone else....

Good Times. Great Bass!

WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!

Chris Fergen is leaving. He's moving back to Sioux City to pursue a career that he's always wanted(maybe). Anyway, his going away party is July 1st at Old Chicago on Merle hay at 6:30.

This DIRECTLY conflicts with the A&W meet and Chris is one of our Members here in the DSM chapter and a good friend of mine which takes me off the roll call for this meet.

Maybe we should shift our meet to go to Old Chicago and spend a good last evening with our friend before he leaves.

We could do the A&W meet next month, because believe me, I really want to go to A&W. I Love that place.

What do you guys think??

PHOTOSHOOT TIME!!!

Our photoshoot meet went FANASTIC last year, so we'll give it another go. :) We'll meet up at Stella's Blue Sky Diner afterwards for a nice little cruise.

PHOTOSHOOT
When: SUNDAY, July 26th
Time: 1:00PM
Where: TOP LEVEL of the 3rd Street and Court Ave. parking lot downtown
Why: Because we can get some siiiick photos up there!
Map: 3rd Street & Court Ave. Parking Lot (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Des+Moines&state=IA&cat=Stella's+Blue+Sky+Diner#a/search/l:::Des+Moines:IA::US:41.600601:-93.608902:city:Polk+County:1/m::14:41.587827:-93.620195:0:::::/so:Civic+Center:::r::25:::::/e) - Note: There isn't an ACTUAL address for this, so I punched in the Civic Center.
Kelsi's Directions: Not sure on the easiest way to get to this. My guess would be to take the Keo Way exit off I-235. Stay to the left (it will split into Keo/Park and 9th). Smash a right on 3rd Street (it's a 1-way south). You'll cross a few streets (and the Civic Center), and when you cross Walnut, the parking ramp will be on the left side of the road. Turn in there and go all the way up to the top. Don't worry, FREE PARKING ON WEEKENDS! :up:

There are a couple other places in that immediate area as well. The 2 I'm thinking of are just south of downtown on MLK (one at 7th & MLK, the other at 11th (I think) & MLK) that we can get to to take a few more photos. :up:

REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR CAMERA!!!






Following the photoshoot, we'll be heading to Stella's Blue Sky Diner via I-235.

STELLA'S BLUE SKY DINER
Time: ~3:30-4:00pm
Where: Stella's Blue Sky Diner
Why: Because we <3 food & shakes
Address: 3281 100th St, Urbandale, IA
Map: Stella's (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Des+Moines&state=IA&cat=Stella's+Blue+Sky+Diner#a/search/l:::Des+Moines:IA::US:41.600601:-93.608902:city:Polk+County:1/m::16:41.624589:-93.755776:0:::::/so:Stellas+Blue+Sky+Diner:::r::25:::::/e)
Kelsi's Directions: From I-235, take the Valley West exit and go north. You'll cross over Hickman (The Land Rover dealership is on the right side of the road) and it'll be on the right side of the road just a little ways. It's on the northern corner of a strip of buildings. :up:

*Note: If you can come to one and not the other, that's fine! Come whenever you can make it! You don't have to get anything at Stella's, you can just hang out!

True true. I'd love to go out to Gray's on a weekend, but that is next to impossible.


If we did paddle boats we could do a contest. Have a little race or something. Winners get a gas card or something, runner up's get swag. ????

As far as a backup... hrm. Good idea but I don't know what we would do. Ideas? Maybe pool or putt-putt indoors somewhere?

Let's try to get others motivated to come out! I know some of you can't make it because you have prior engagements, but maybe you want to peer pressure some others into coming?

We are going to do a Tag Rally!!!! I've been wanting to do this for over a year, so I finally get to have my fun!




What: Tag Rally - We are going to have a contest to tag a semi-specific list of Scions.
When: Saturday, October 3rd
Time: 1-3:00pm
MEET Location: Valley West Mall (East Side parking lot - 1551 Valley West Dr, West Des Moines, IA) >> MAP << (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Des+Moines&state=IA&cat=Valley+West+Mall#a/search/l:::Des+Moines:IA::US:41.600601:-93.608902:city:Polk+County:1/m::16:41.595485:-93.751731:0:::::1:1:1::/so:Valley+West+Mall:::r::25:::::/e)I'm thinking that corner lot on Westown & 31st)
END Location: Sonic (5350 Merle Hay Rd Johnston, IA) >> MAP << (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?name=Sonic+Drive-In&city=Johnston&state=IA&address=5350+Merle+Hay+Rd&zipcode=50131&country=US&latitude=41.657872&longitude=-93.697641&geocode=ADDRESS&id=6695115) for a late lunch and we'll determine the winners. :)



Stipulations
- You need 2 people (yes, you'll be doing this in pairs). The other person does NOT have to be a Scikotic or drive a Scion. They can be a friend, sig. other, parent, whatever. More can ride with, but only 2 people can be eligible for the prizes.
- You will need to have some form of a digital camera (a cell phone camera is fine)
- You WILL obey traffic laws, or suffer my wrath (ie. be disqualified).
- ALL DRIVERS/PASSENGERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN A WAIVER TO PARTICIPATE. I will provide these the day of.



FYI: THERE WILL BE PRIZES AWARDED!!! Top 3 teams get gas cards, we also have a Scion backpack, a wicked Scion heavy-duty watch, hats/beanies, sunscreen, pens, bottle openers, some awesome Scion footballs, RS 2.0 xD swag, Scion Energy Drink, etc. SIGN UP!!!


Note: Other chapters may participate, but please remember you are 'recruiting' for the Des Moines chapter. You will still be eligible for prizes.

So, how fast is speeding to you Kelsi? I think after 10 over it's speeding, but I usually stick to less than 5 over...

Can you also give an example of a semi-specific list? Is this like people that we've seen parked places?

Last but not least...do you have tagging cards? I asked Tony and Hunter about getting some, but they didn't really say anything specifically. I did get a fist-full of business cards though.

khans
09-03-2009, 08:17 AM
Thanks for the roll call. :)

Eh... yeah personally I have to be on good behavior until after September, so I stay within the speed limit usually. So I don't want this to cause problems for others. I'd say about 5 over is the highest I suggest ('specially downtown, they seem to be cracking down).

I'm debating about whether or not to release the actual list or not. But it's a really awesome point system that Stephanie worked out. Like you get x-amount of points for tagging a car with rims, you may get extra points for actually talking to someone about their car, etc. We'll have like, 2 hours (just estimating here) to get as many points as you can, or complete the list. The team with the most points obviously wins.

YES!!! We have looooots of tagging cards. We have the red ones that were handed out at the meet, and we also have post-card sized ones that you can write on (I think I left one of those on your car before I met you).

Girlie_xA
09-03-2009, 11:57 AM
Just so people can't "stage" to have the needed items beforehand, the exact requirements list will be given out on the day of the rally. For instance, like Kelsi said, we had discussed a point system to determine winners. We discussed specific colors, mods, cars, etc.

For instance 2 points for finding a Azure Pearl Scion under the "color" section of the check list.

I have two new cards in rough form. I showed them to Kelsi and she likes them. I need to get Photoshop for my laptop so I can get them formatted properly.

This may be tough so everyone keep a look out in parking lots for the reoccurring presence of the elusive Scion!

Kelsi, can I get a grip of post cards from you and drop some money off for you? I need like 5 for my work's parking lot... 3 tCs, 1 1st gen xB, and 1 2nd gen xB. They need to know about us!

Hunter brought up Bass Pro Shop at the last meet. Apparently they have a pretty insane bowling alley there. The photos look pretty awesome! Here's a link to a short article and photo of it: http://www.bowlingdigital.com/bowl/node/7017



What: Uncle Buck's Fishbowl & Grill
When: Saturday, September 19th
Time: 7:00pm (TENTATIVELY)
Price: N/A (I will call and update)
Address:
1000 Bass Pro Drive NW
Altoona, IA 50009
*I tried to mapquest it and it's too new apparently.

Kelsi's Directions: Not exactly sure as I've been past the place one time, but you can see it on the south side of I-80E. I think you can take the exit to get to Bosselman's Truck Stop, but again, I'm not sure. Seriously, this place is impossible to miss.

I thought we were going to do this on a weeknight? I think it will be super busy if we go on a weekend evening.

As far as directions, I think if you get off at the truck stop exit and take a right on the road that goes in front of the truck stop, it will take you straight to Bass Pro.
