SPS group buy road trip to Dr. Mac's in MD ?

Anyone interested in doing a 1 day road trip to MD. 4-5 hrs each way, 2-3 hrs to browse and pick...I think 3 or 4 drivers with a large enough order can get some sweet deals and be back before the other half suspects anything !

He gets several shipments a week. If we get there on a shipment day, oh man !!!!

Well hot dang. How can u say no to that ! Of course we'll split all expenses equally but I was thinking of renting a van or something. Thats just one less expense, Thanks Sam !!! If everyone can come to a concensus of how much $ they want to spend etc, I will call Dr. Mac and see what he will do for us, then we can talk about when/ who etc....

When you come to a consensus as to the date I would love to go... but need a date before I can commit as my schedule is rather strained.

Sweet (I knew you would you junkie you). My schedule is fairly open during the week for the next few weeks. Weekends are hit/ miss. (Kids). I'll call Dr. Mac this week to be sure we can get it during the week and report back. The more we get in group orders, the better shot we have. So the more the merrier. Also, seating is not limited, more folks just need to drive...

Staten Island....I have a site at 700 victory and at the monistary on todt hill rd. that would have to go via belt or bqe to varazzano to the gothels... I guess as soon as we find out how many people are going and how big the caravan will be then we can decide on the route we take...

I'm down to go. Have an Expedition that sits an addition 6 people, if anyone wants to chip in for gas, I'll supply a movie(DVD player) for the ride and some popcorn.

What is the object of this visit...a tour of facility? group buy? individual purchases? colony fragging? Or all of the above?

I can probably throw in $200 on whatever we end up doing.

OK. I am going to try to talk to Dr Mac today if I can. I am going to try to clear up the details of our trip. The question I will ask (one of them) is if we can cherry pick on a group buy. In other words, If we say we have collectively $2500 to spend, can we pick out the pieces ourselves and get better pricing than if we did it individually etc... Or do we pick some, they pick some etc. Also do we pick for the folks not able to go who gave $...

Alot of ways to do it I think inluding splitting colonies but I just want to know the rules ahead of time. Want to be fair to those who cannot come but want in on the group buy...

Once we get all the details we can get a list of who wants to go and where to meet, date and time. Im hoping on a good size group going on the trip.
