how about a D R I V E to the above-mentioned location and maybe do the above-mentioned stuff suggested by Happy Wheels in that thread?

Awesome idea for a meet/drive. Are you guys just planning to drive out there (Alappuzha) and eat karimeen + drink toddy OR do a 12hr/24hr houseboat ride ? The houseboat thing is definitely a must-do-atleast-once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Actually it is Hindi. We mallus just borrowed it.

It is at Alappuzha.

I am in Kerala during 28-30 Nov, so might join in.

[MalluDude]

Me tooooo!!!! I think a full-day trip will be great.

[trrk]

Hi Folks,

Recently in a post to Ripper, I had mentioned about meets not happening anymore and bang comes the next.

With so much enthusiasm around, I hate to be spoil sport. With a 2400kms solo trip in the planning stage, I can't commit to any other drives. Maybe, I could catch up with you guys (like I usually try to do) someplace.

I am on the razor's edge as far as outings are concerned. I don't want a veto from home ministry for the solo trip. A lot of objections are being raised after giving an initial go ahead.

Let the plans unfold.

All the best!

[jkdas]

Guys from Tvm, ping me

Sankaran ente koode kappalil undakum.

Err - you guys are supposed to be adding your names to this list as you confirm, but let me do the honours for now:

Sankar (TVM)
kb100 (CBE)
rippergeo (COK)
srikant (TCR)
A S H V I N (COK)
Steeroid (COK)
johnda (TVLLA)
govigov (COK)
ram_hyundai (COK)
nikkibike (COK)
MalluDude (COK
jkdas (TVM)

We'll wait for trrk (would love to have you come along - this is a day trip), supreme, deepclutch and others like srijit to confirm, and they can cut+paste this list and add themselves to it.

A sunday morning drive out will be great - everyone can pile on and we can have a good drive. Now will someone plan out the details? A S H V I N since you're in Event Management, perhaps you can manage this event ?

If mansidea is joining in, the two of us might drive on to Thiruvalla to see johnda do his stuff (play the drums) that evening - anybody else who wants to listen to some music etc please feel free to join us.
