BIGGU Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Copied and pasted, come out just for fun if youd like. OH2K9 is Coming!! It is a huge gathering of Lexus enthusiasts in the country. We meet up in a central location (Columbus OH) where people have come from Canada, Alabama, Texas, NY,NJ,CT, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconson, Virginia, Tennessee, you name it. People even fly in from the West Coast. This has been a very successful meet for the past three years. Every year it keeps getting bigger and better. It is a great place to make friends, BBQ, have a beer (and more) talk to other Lexus tuners about their passions, share ideas, and just have a great time for a weekend. I would love to see some finely tuned SC's, GS's, LS's, and ES's come out. Please feel free to PM me about details. Mark your calendars... June 25-28th, 2009 - Columbus, OH For those who have never attended check out a few pics in the galleries on elusivemedia.com/gallery, or in the previous year's threads on my.IS or ISfanatcis.com. We have a great time and meet more cool people every year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOTEL INFO: The hotel set aside 45 rooms for us to reserve at 79.99/night. There are various room types (1 king, 2 Queens, etc), so the earlier you call, the better chance you have of getting the room type you want. They hold the rooms until May, then they release them to anyone. This is a high demand weekend....so don't procrastinate on booking your room.
