To everyone who wasn't at the Steppes practice last Sunday or just forgot, everyone is invited up to Elkhart on the 21st. This isn't an event, its just a practice meant to get a little inter-realm fighting going on. The Hobart chapter has been invited as well, and I've been told there will be a handful of them, so there may even be a chance to meet new faces. I don't have an exact address yet but it will be inside somewhere near this intersection for time estimates: maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Fort+Wayne+In&daddr=51027+State+Road+13,+Middlebury,+IN+46540+(Friendly+Tire+Company)&hl=en&geocode=%3BFeoffQIdUKXk-iFsqvpblKfRfQ&mra=ls&sll=41.586175,-85.825195&sspn=0.461197,1.056747&ie=UTF8&ll=41.13109,-85.003967&spn=1.857712,4.22699&t=h&z=9 Hope some of you can make it up here.

This will be great for any new people actually interested in seeing other faces. Also, this is not a bad drive of some "inter-realm action". It will be about an hour to get there and its going to be in a huge warehouse apparently.
BUT! these directions will take you on the indiana toll road so make sure to bring some extra cash with you to pay the toll.

BUT! don't let the toll change your mind, it should cost you only a very small percentage of the spare change in your car, even if you take the toll road both here and back.

In reality it should only cost you about 2 bucks...
I just didnt want people to freak out when they hit the toll road.

Why take the toll road? Getting to the toll road from FW when you're heading west is a pain, because you actually have to head Northwest quite a ways to get to it. If you're heading to the Goshen/Elkhart area, just take 33 (take Goshen road till it crosses over 69, and then take the split to the right, that's 33). 33 leads right into Goshen, and I think you then just take 20 over to Elkhart (haven't been to Elkhart in like 6 years). Either way, should be way quicker and coincidentally cheaper than taking the toll road

I would say that only a handful of us know how to get around the toll road and its just easier for people who do not know where they are going just to take the toll road. Unless we caravan there.

I received an email from work (RGIS) the other day stating that the 21st we have an inventory event scheduled for JC Penny's at Glenbrook and that all staff should expect to work it and to expect about a 7-hour event. I expect I'll be scheduled. :-( If not, I also know my way around that area very well, hell I was just there today doing inventory at Big Lots. lol So we'll see, if I'm not working, I'll be down for driving as well.

I'm interested in going. I can drive if I need to but I'd rather catch a ride with someone. And I'll bring cookies with me

I do indeed have to work, so unfortunately, I won't be able to attend. This makes me very sad as I was looking forward to it. :-(
