Default Woodward Dream Cruise & GTG - August 20, 2011 - Michigan

OK I'm starting a list for the Woodward Dream Cruise - August 20, 2011
Post on this thread if you will be coming to join us for this fun GTG near Detroit

<<click to enlarge>>

The picture above has a white arrow pointing to our parking location from 2008 and 2009.
The red circle is where we parked last year and will again be parking this year with the Prowlers.
This spot has shady areas and will provide free parking for all of our Crossfires.
Chrysler has rights to this area and has given us the OK to park there again this year !!!

I will be creating a list of all who want to attend this year.
Simply submit a post on this thread and I will put you on the list in post #2 here.

So start thinking about attending this GTG and have a look at the website: The Woodward Dream Cruise

Also have a look at the pics from last year....Woodward Dream Cruise 2010

Links to book your room at the Auburn Hills Marriott with our group discount are posted in post #3

I look forward to seeing many of you again this year !!!

Updated 8/15/11

WEEKEND AGENDA

Originally Posted by harbor

FRIDAY:
9:45 A.M. The Prowler Group will depart their hotel, The Hyatt Place, on Opdyke in Auburn Hiils at 9:45 a.m. to meet at the Lingenfelter Collection in Brighton, MI by 11:00 a.m. JM - You can meet them there at 11.
Lingenfelter Collection
3-5 p.m. Chrysler advised me today that, unfortunately, the Crossfire concept car WILL NOT be available at the Chrysler Museum. I'll leave this time slot in place for those who still want to visit the musem or do a group shot in the circular drive in front of the museum. I will be there handing out parking passes for Sat. If you are touring the museum, get the 2 for 1 kewp here: Walter P. Chrysler Museum
5-6 p.m. Massive taligating in our hotel parking lot!!
6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Dinner at The Post (approx 2 miles from hotel)The Post Bar :: Auburn Hills, Detroit, Ferndale, Novi We have the entire 2nd floor reserved and Crossfire group parking is in the restaurant lot.
7:30 - 11:00 p.m. Car show and outdoor movie at the Chrysler Museum $10 admission. Note: If you plan to attend, reserve your spot here:
Walter P. Chrysler Museum Attendance is limited to the first 125 people. The director of the movie will be there for questions/autographs and she will be displaying the car featured in the movie. DEUCE OF SPADES, a period hot rod film. Bring a blanket or lawn chair if you plan on attending. Out of towners - PM me if you need me to bring blanket/chairs for you.
Option B - If you choose not to attend the movie, Plan B includes cruising Woodward or tailgating in the hotel parking lot from 7:30 p.m. until 8:29 a.m. Sat.

SATURDAY:
8:30 A.M. Depart for display area, which is the same location as last year (13 Mile west of Woodward) and will again be shared with the Prowler group. Be sure to get a parking pass from me Fri or Sat a.m. - No one will be allowed into the display area without a pass. No exceptions.
9:00 a.m - 6:00 p.m. Enjoy the Cruise, lunch on your own.
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Dinner at Brady's Tavern 13 Mile & Southfield (approx 1.5 miles from display area) Welcome to Brady's. We have the entire back room and group parking in a lot adjacent to and north of the tavern. Crossfire Program Manager, Scott Wilkins, will address the group here. After dinner, cruise Woodward one last time (it closes at 9) and back to the hotel parking lot.

SUNDAY
Breakfast and departure. The Western Michigan Crossfire Tour Group will depart with the Chicago contingency, break off somewhere around Indiana and then enjoy a 3-4 day tour of Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City wineries, etc...

Housekeeping Issues:
  • Dinner reservations - Need 'em by tomorrow p.m. This is the busiest bar night ($$$) of the year for restaurants in close proximity to Woodward, so the owners I'm working with want an accurate headcount. This is not difficult folks - Please let me know.
  • If you have handheld radios, bring 'em (with spare batteries)
  • Booze - No public alcohol consumption is allowed at the Dream Cruise. Polizia ticket heavily and the fines generally run around $200. Your call.
  • If you are a music fan, the following groups are performing this weekend at venues within minutes of the hotel: J. Geils Band, Maroon 5/Train, Dweezil Zappa, Lil Wayne and George Thorogood.
PM me with any comments, questions concerns.
Weather is supposed to be lower to mid 80's & Sunny Fri & Sat.
