Title: 2nd Annual Northern Illinois Capri Cruise
Post by: tonlaw71 on September 25, 2011, 01:13:00 AM
Just a reminder, a few of us still want to get together on October 8th in Peoria, IL for the 2nd Annual Northern Illinois Capri Cruise. We will meet up at a Sonic Drive-in for a meet and greet, then head up the river to enjoy the fall foliage. Please respond to this post if you are interested. Thanks!!

Rocky and Mark, you are still interested, yes? How about you, Russ? And Dr. Bob?

All Hail Craigslist! Thanks for posting that ad, Russ. Hope we get some responses to that. I guess Dominick isn't going to be able to make it...:-(

I had a great time at the cruise yesterday.  The smile is finally starting to wane from my face, and now my cheeks hurt.  For those of you who have never been to a cruise/meet/gathering, I highly recommend that you do so.  There is nothing like seeing a group of Capri's together, and the looks on peoples faces when they see so many together on the road.  We are a chiropractors dream with all of the snapped necks.  Check out the pictures.  It is worth it just to see my AWESOME shoes.

Yeah, they are nice shoes, though they'd be better-looking in Stratosphere Blue!

It was a great time. The scenery was beautiful and you couldn't have asked for better company. I got to meet a couple new Capri owners and I am still convinced we have the best group of enthusiasts anywhere.

Bob, those shoes are definitely attention grabbers!

Thank you to all who attended, same time next year, but the location may change!! I'll keep you posted...

Mark, you will have to show me your pair in strato blue to have that comparison.

I guess you have me there, Bob.  Though if I did have some, you can bet they'd be suede and I'd be saying "Don't step on 'em."

Mark, at one point in my life, I actually owned a pair of blue suede shoes, and I did tell people to not step on them, and sometimes I sung it.  ha ha ha
