F1 live screening meets @ Cochin. Confirmations, Updates, Reports...

speedzak · 16th March 2009, 03:46

Wakey wakey wakey!

It's time for the eagle to touch down. Hardly a week and few days left.
And what a better time could it be? It's the F1 2009 season starting up with the first race in Albert park, Melbourne! Engines will roar, tires will burn and the action will all be unleashed on this 29th of March. Another auspicious occasion for a great team-bhp meet. Ain't it?
For all those who have been shouting, ranting and throwing brick 'n bats, Mallu mullah will make his first public appearance on the same day too!

(BANG BANG BANG... Trumpets... DRUM ROLL... APPLAUSE... WOLF HOWLS...)

So guys! Let's welcome this season with a B I G B A N G ! ! We should all get together, laugh, enjoy, get anxious, sad, happy and shout our tonsils out for our favourite drivers and teams. Lots of leg pullings, laughter, useless technical discussions, arguments, fan club memberships etc.. will be served in bucket loads and spade fulls.
What say?
All the bhpians from Cochin/Kerala/India/Asia/world or other planets are welcomed. Either you know about F1 (as well as MalluMullah) or not, doesn't matter.
Come and get lost in the world of crazy Kochi bhpians!! Post up your confirmation.

Where??
1. Is Gokulam park inn showing races this year too? If yes, then we can make some bookings in advance.
2. Is there any other new place in town showing F1 live? (added attractions like a live band, free food, drinks, showgirls, full monty etc.. will be heartfully appreciated).
3. Somebody care to spoil their goodname by hosting us at their home? Lol!!

Time??
The time ESPN/Star sports decides to show us LIVE!! (I also sincerely hope all the cricketers have a good sleep thru out that day, so that there won't be any of those boring thingys on tube). [running for cover from Steer and followers]

A S H V I N, Nikkibike, RipperGeo, Muneemmk, JayD and rest of the warriors and losers, please help in planning this out. :Please:

PS: We can keep this thread alive till this season ends and put in reports of all future F1 meets too.

I'll probably get lynched by my family for this, but I'm in

Steeroid · 16th March 2009, 13:00

I think the guys should wait till you actually land up here, going by your reputation

The current bets doing the rounds within the group are on you making it to Cochin by the 1st week of June based on the latest proclamations.

kphilip · 16th March 2009, 13:26

i'm in ...I guess Gokulam park inn is the only place showing F1 this year too...

speedzak · 16th March 2009, 13:49

Steer! Don't shoo the guys away man! :(

Please provide details of the places where F1 will be shown live.

Meets in Cochin I presume, and don't get your beard on fire from the excitement, we got 12 days to go right ?

speedzak · 18th March 2009, 10:50

Yes. Yes. Yes!
I know you guys.
All prior planning and at the last moment, KALTI.COM!!

I'm holding on to my excitement till I touch down somewhere in India. You guys better do something before that! LOL!!

he heee... this is exactly what i thought after reading the first post!

DooooooooodZak.... well, the meet plan will happen in full swing as it is easily possible with the help & contacts of ASHVIN. But I will never expect you for the meet untill I see you atleast 1 day in advance!

speedzak · 18th March 2009, 15:12

Ya! Ya!
You guys got some good genuine excuses to pile on me! Eh?

But where the hell is A S H V I N & party?
Somebody please get his head out of the ground. Seems like he is stuck!

Anybody knows if that sheesha place is still open or not? They had a good AC private room with a wide screen plasma, couches, easy chairs etc..
It will be great for a good, loud get together with not much of prying eyes. What say?

Steeroid · 18th March 2009, 15:17

Zak, given your track record I'm likely to land up in Cochin before you (9th Apr).

Sheesha? WHere?

speedzak · 21st March 2009, 19:36

For all those who waited till I touched down, here I am!
....
Picture coming up in a few hours.

So, it's not just me who're eagerly looking forward to this meet. :

2 more days left and no Cochinite knows where all F1 is being shown live!
Shame, guys.

Anyway, according to my info, the meet will be taking place at Gokulam Park Inn on 29th from 10am onwards.

Take the Kerala Express ( departure 05:20 from CBE) to reach Cochin by 09.30. Try to make there. Or you can get down at Thrissur and join with us. What say?
