I used to be as member but I'm too busy now to make it to the meetings.
Hopefully their will be a thread started on here soon about the semester cruise.

I am here.

I am the one with the really loud Pewter T/A - you can find it parked at my house (Triangle Fraternity at the corner of 1st and university).

I am hoping we get a cruise going soon.

I live in Indy, but get up to Purdue quiet a bit. Always looking for a place to crash (I'm getting old and my lil bro just graduated!).

I was a freshman in 98' and I'm jealous of you guys, an affordable car when I was there was an early LT1... you guys can pick up LS1s for 10k... again JEALOUS!

Any big Purdue cruises esp in the fall post them up here I'd love to come up (and hit the bars afterwards )

I'm going to do my best. Its about 3 hours for me to get to Purdue now as I've relocated to right outside of Louisville. I look forward to these cruises each semester.

I have not talked to Nate at all about another one yet, but I know Aaron has been dropping fairly obvious hints here and there.

Hope you all are doing well!

Ed
