2024 996Outpost Meet Up: April 27 at The Car Affair in Kansas City, MO
Esteemed Gentlemen,
This is your invitation to join FRUNKenstein and myself at The Car Affair on the rooftop of The Underground in Kansas City, Missouri, April 27, 2024.
The event is sure to be a night to remember filled with rare and conversation-worthy automobiles; not to mention it will be a uniquely special evening to a small group of attendees as it now also serves as an official gathering of 996Outpost.com members! I will be flying to Kansas City for the weekend to visit my pen pal Frunky as well as attend the event.
Last fall I had the pleasure of joining Frunk and his lovely wife for a cocktail in my fair city of Las Vegas and I found it delightful how two gents that had, up until that point, only known each other via posting messages directly and indirectly to each other on a bulletin board could sit down like friends that had known each other a while and strike up a conversation. In that conversation he had invited me to Kansas City to check out the museum that he often posts about as well as their new facility; The Underground. I warned him I was the sort that would accept such an invitation; and here I come!
As hilarious and fun as we both can be, I’ve no doubt we will entertain each other all weekend; nonetheless we’d love it if another person or better yet; persons could attend the event with us.
I work for a hotel in Las Vegas and therefore am able to get employee rates (think $70/night,) at IHG properties, so if somebody is willing to commit very soon I am willing to book a room for you in my name. It only requires me being the person checking in and you being the person paying me back. Availability of this rate dwindles as time passes so that is why I am stressing urgency as there seemed to be plenty as of this writing.
I’ll be staying at the Hotel Indigo at The Crossroads.
This second life for 996Outpost.com is a great opportunity for folks to connect and share a very specific and nuanced passion that very few share; and with the site getting a second chance I thought; here’s a great opportunity to likewise get out of my shell and connect with some great people. I hope after reading this you share my sentiments and consider heading over to attend.

I’m really looking forward to that weekend! I have had the chance to meet several Rennlist and 996outpost guys over the years - the shared interest in Porsches makes it easy to relate.
We will attend the Kansas City Region Porsche Club Breakfast on Saturday morning, which normally draws 50+ participants.
The museum event Saturday night will be a great time. Here’s a link to the event website:
https://www.caraffairkc.com/
We’ll plan some other activities, too - plenty of cool stuff to do in KC. So, let us know if you can make it!
Billy - I’ve been pestering you for years to make the short trip down, and now’s the time!

Just when you jokers thought "ah noboby's gonna take Strange up on that hotel deal I've got plenty of time."
BOOM!
The second room at Hotel Indigo is spoken for. I will let the happy owner speak up if he so chooses.
IF.... Because I really want you guys to come. IF I get some crazy enthusiasm for cheap hotels with travel plans attached I will extend my generosity to the Hotel Indigo that is a few blocks over, if it happens to retain its availability.
ACT NOW!!!!!
Also I'm sorry I called it a Renn Run I made the poster with AI and wrote the copy in about 30 seconds
. I forgot we called them that because Rennlist (dammit) was called... ahem.
Muuuuuuch better!

Count me in! I have permission from She Who Must Be Obeyed. I'll be driving up from North Texas in the 996 (of course), and plan to invade both the PCA breakfast and the Museum's fundraiser. Now, let's figure out what to do between these two bookend events.
Jeff -- I assume we each procure our tickets to the Saturday Evening fundraiser directly via the event's website. If there's some other process, let us know.
Countdown stands at T-74 days.

Suggested attire: Creative Cocktail
Well la de frickin da!
Seriously?? Would cargo shorts and an Outpost tee shirt qualify for "suggested attire"?
Never gonna make you cry...

Well, 'creative' leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Lederhosen are likely off-limits. Socks, optional. Heck, in rural America where I live, "shirts and shoes" likely qualifies as "creative cocktail".32wildbilly wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2024 1:50 pmSuggested attire: Creative Cocktail

I leave it to Herr Frunky to enlighten us heathens further...

Hey I'm flying Spirit everyone laugh at me
My flights are already changed and are dramatically different. I was going to arrive at 4p, now I arrive at...drumroll 6a. Suggestions for breakfast Frunky?
I was also going to depart in the early evening on Sunday but now it looks like I'm leaving 7a instead. Woot. All-nighter.
Considering I purchased these tickets 3 days ago and my itinerary is already dramatically different; I'm anticipating making this update multiple times.
That's today's Spiriting away.
