We here in Phoenix met up with a member of a predominantly 3G/ASOG board this past weekend and it looks as though we'll be getting together with them regularly. Real nice people. It's a shame the local DSM crowd aren't this nice.
REASON FOR THE POST: Come the last week of FEB or the first week of MAR, we are looking to put together a POKER RUN to LAUGHLIN, NV. In the works are a dedicated location to show, trophies, pre-arranged rooms at a central location and much food and fun.
This is just to get the idea out to the 2GNT community in advance. I will be posting updates as I get them, but this sounds like it could be a sort of SW meet a lot of us would be interested in attending.
The DesertDiamonds group we're starting to hang with is about the same size as us and they are incahoots with ASOGers here too. They also have members in SoCal that are planning to attend this event. They make it a yearly thing. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a convoy of maybe 20 cars make the drive from Phoenix. Add in the people in NV (I'm sure VegasDSM knows a few) and then the 2GNT army we have in CA and you have something almost newsworthy!
Like I said, I really think this could turn out to be something awesome and I want to give everyone as much advance notice as I can. If you think this is something you might be down for, let me know.

I was all signed up and ready to roll with the desert diamonds event last year...
But the concept seemed really complicated, the timetable too rigid, and the organization not the best.
IMO if they want to draw a crowd out into radiator-melty-land, they need to simplify and relax things a little, as well as get organized early to provide a good source for all the info wayyy in advance.
Maybe they read this, maybe not, either way I'd like to make it this year.

From what I heard, last year the SoCal 3G guy who was helping to coordinate things from that end changed car clubs or something and got a lot of static and for wahtever reason, the weight of putting the whoe thing together fell upon one guy who had to do his best to clean up the pieces.
Assuming this is still about 6 months out, I'm thinking we can get it put together nicely. And who says we have to play any poker? We can just roll up for the show/meet and find us some sluts, I mean slots!
Again, this sounds like it could really kick some ass. Start giving it some thought.

We're going to be getting together with a bunch of these 3G/ASOG guys for a BBQ here in PHX on the 20th. It will probably be most of the die hards who would also be making the run with us. I'll make sure to get a head count to get an idea of about how many cars would be going from AZ. I'm atill optimistic for 20+
