2010 Minneapolis Wash In

[Unimatic1140]

Fred and I are throwing a big Minneapolis Wash-In at our house on Saturday, May 15th 2010 -- from 4:00PM until 2:00AM or thereabouts (we're not pulling an all-nighter or an all weekend event, just a big Saturday night party and wash-in).

If you think you might like to join us and have not received the evite yet please email me at [email protected] and I will send you a formal evite invitation.

If you are planning on coming in from out of town, we have assembled a list of hotels within a stone's throw from the Airport and the Mall of America. All of which are only about 10 minutes from our house. Or you could go to hotels.com whichever discount travel site you prefer--and find your own. However, because of the proximity to the Airport, Mall of America, and our house -- we recommend staying in that vicinity. Plus the Mall of America is fabulous, if you've never been. Come a day early or stay an extra day and tourist-it-up (no sales tax on clothing/shoes in the state of MN!)

Snacks, finger foods, etc... will be provided (not a sit down dinner--there's not going to be room to sit down). We will also provide water, soda & probably one variety of beer... any other beverages you may desire, please bring your own.

Due to the fact that a lot of people may show up for this, for planning purposes, please respond to this e-vite no later than May 1st. If you can't make this Wash-In, fear not, we hope to do more of these in future so there will be another at some point!

Hope to see you there! If you have any questions please email us at [email protected] and [email protected].

Hi robert that is soooo cool that would be great.I will come over and i wil email you thank you john .

 

[pulsator]

I wish I could come!!! I'll be stuck babysitting a Duet set... -_-

 

[earthling177]

That sounds like it will be a lot of fun, and it's really tempting, but I can't go. I hope everyone has a wonderful time and safe travels, I know I'd be there if I could.

Cheers,
-- Paulo.

 

[sudsmaster]

I'd also like to go, but I just don't think I can manage it this time around. I hope everyone has a great time, though.

 

[polkanut]

I'm not worried, I know there will be other opportunities for us to meet. Safe and happy travels to all who will be able to make it.

 

[rapidry1000]

Would love to be there and play with the washers and meet the others that will attend. Because of time constraints last year, I had to cut my visit short at your home. Luckily you did a load of wash in the Philco Bendix that fascinated me.

 

[mistereric]

D'oh!

I've already got other plans for that weekend. How about next year? I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures of the festivities!

 

[autowasherfreak]

I would love to come Robert, and see that beautiful collection of your, but we will probably be moving (hopefully) into our new home. I will make it there sometime

Audio Video of Wash In?

Although I cannot make it in person, I do look forward to a good audio/video clip of the event. Would love to hear descriptions of each machine in operation, the machines running, and any other humorous background sounds you wish to include. Have loads and loads of fun in creating this vid!--Laundry Shark

 

[maytag63]

Would like to visit too but a little far for me right now. Looking forward to seeing pictures.

 

[mattl]

How about putting up a few web-cams and stream it live for those of us that would like to attend but can't...

 

[volvoguy87]

Wouldlove to be there.

But I just can't get away at that time.

Have fun though, especially with the WCI-58,
Dave

Have fun though, especially with the WCI-58,

Dave,

You didn't hear? With the sky rocketing prices of scrap right now, Robert cashed in and unloaded the WCI-58, due to it's "Sheer" Weight! LOL

 

[volvoguy87]

Ha ha ha!

I know Robert has better sense than that. However, if anyone here intentionally scrapped a WCI-58, I might have to do something terrible to them.

Oh yes, there would be consequences, terrible horrible consequences!
Dave

Really wish I could be there.
(I've never actually seen a GMFR in person before).

 

[pulsator-power]

Who's Fred? Is he someone new?

 

[toggleswitch]

Let me see your feet.............

.

Is it me, or did I just hear all traffic SCREECH to a halt? LOL (Only bustin 'em!)

Andrew "Dice" Clay (Comedian):
"Are your names Neil (kneel) and Bob, or is that what you do?"

*SIGH*

"Little" Fred is known to many from the Vacuum club. Handsome, gracious, intelligent, abundant personality. Other than collecting VACUUM CLEANERS, (DUCKS AND RUNS SO FAST), no complaints.

But honestly Fred, there is only ONE way to dispell the "little" adjective. Stand next to me!

You both have managed to escape me at THIS wash-in, but wait 'till the next one.

 

[polkanut]

Dave,

You could put a Jewish curse on them.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Who's Fred? Is he someone new?

Jerry Fred is my partner, we've been living together now over a year so not really new anymore.

So far 38 people are coming to the wash-in. Its going to be standing room only, but we're usually standing when where washing clothes lol, unless of course its a front loader.

 

[cleanteamofny]

The both of you are hansom, I wish I was able to make it but it's my job that is not flexible. Vacation picks are done in the first week of January, so when a East-West-North-South convention convenes, it just does not work around my vacation or day off. Have fun and post pictures but most of all, the videos!

Larry

 

[polkanut]

HEY YOU GUYS, watch the hands! Just kidding, you both take a nice pic.

 

[peteski50]

Washin!

You guys look realy great in the pictures. I realy wish I could make it but unfourtinatly I have to work and cannot take off especially in these bad financial times. But I hope you guys have a really great time and Best Wishes,
Thanks again,
Peter

 

[maytag63]

Nice picture. Great that you have been together for over a year. I have been with my partner for 26 years. We met when I was finishing college. So I guess Im old.

 

[appnut]

26 years. We met when I was finishing college. So I guess Im

No Jason, you're not old. You two are very blessed and lucky men!! And you're incredibly handsome!!

 

[jasonl]

Geez

I wish I could go. Totally strapped for $$$ these days. Everything is at a screeching halt here. Maybe next time :-(

 

[mattywashboy]

D'oh!

Hey Guys

I am actually going to be in the USA from the 21st June to September. Sadly i just miss out on this Wash In :-( it would have been fabulous to attend as an Australian contingent haha.

Ah well, better luck next year haha

Matt

 

[maytag63]

Thank you Bob, now I'm blushing.

 

[strongenough78]

Hey I like MattL's idea. A few webcams set up and stream it live for the rest of us! That way if anything funny happens, like someone falling or something, then we get to see it first hand and enjoy it with those of you who are there! LOL. But seriously, that might be something to concider. Good thinking Matt!
