Cars & Coffee - Indianapolis

Well I am providing Longs Donuts on April 4th............

 

So I hear the Indy C&C event has been booted from the location they moved to a year or two ago when Casey made the "executive decision" to move it from McAlisters where it saw great success with ample space. We all knew this day would come. A parking lot shared by several businesses simply could not tolerate a large crowd on busy Saturday mornings.

Now there appears to be debate on where to move to. Here it is spring in Indy and C&C doesn't have a home. Had it not moved to begin with, this would not be an issue.

So, my question is, will Casey take credit for this eviction just like he has laid claim to being the founder of Indy Cars & Coffee? Uh . . . doubt it.

Final question is, will Casey man-up and solicit the input of "the originals" to seek a new home for Indy Cars & Coffee? Uh . . . totally doubt it.

Enough said. Sadly, as one of the true founders of Indy Cars & Coffee, I have let it go.

 

McAlister's was a perfect location. I never understood the reasoning behind the move.

The free coffee ended up being rather costly.

 

Not true. Landmark owns both lots. It was moving in that direction for McAlister's as well. People also stopped coming to that location because they knew they wouldn't have a place to park, and they would have to compete with soccer moms for parking.

It's not my fault we were asked to leave. Everything had been going fine until a couple of weekends ago and someone got all of the tenants to complain at the same time and we were asked to leave.

No, because you guys have a track record of being cynical, judgmental, and stuck-up Mark's ass. You also demonstrate a severe lack of insight and foresight, and also know nothing of what it takes to manage and market a large and ongoing event, and the networking required to do so.

I don't recall you being at Sunrise Cafe? I'm sorry I wasn't able to show up on the rainy day in Carmel to starbucks, which wasn't at all what I originally described C&C should be after bringing up the original C&C in California. I can't prove it because Webby deleted all of my posts.

Unfortunately, I can not explain in full detail why this move makes so much sense, but I wouldn't expect you to understand anyway.
There will continue to be absolutely no exclusivity with this event. Now people will just have to be responsible and show up on time, or don't show up at all. Indy C&C is set apart from all C&C's around the country, and it's overwhelming how many compliments we get because of it. I'm sorry you guys are unable to see the big picture or behind the scenes efforts of me and several others.

Some day I hope that you all get off your high horses and see the light. Maybe one of you could have the audacity to have a legitimate conversation with me some day. I'm quite easy to talk to. Until then, continue your keyboard fights.

 

#1. It doesn't matter what or if Webby deleted anything. Go to post #931 on page 47 of this thread. It's all there.

#2. Good luck...with the new location.

Any pics from today at the new location?
Thanks,
Greg

 

Wow, there seems to be a lot of local Ferrari owners who have a plug in their butt. Come out, have a good time, and enjoy life. Show your car, we would love to see them. Put this little **** to rest, you're above this. See you at the show, no matter where it is.

 

I came today to the new location at Gator Motorsports. I have no problem with the new venue. Seems like a great turnout - maybe even larger than I remember at the old spot. Many great cars and nice atmosphere. Will be back. Below a photo someone took of my 348.

Considering my wife and I to drive the 308 and 911 to Paradise Café (96th and Meridian) this Saturday morning. First free weekend in months! Anyone else interested?

 

Off topic, but looking for a shop to do a PPI in Indianapolis?

thanks

 

Is there still a meetup at McAlisters? Or an early-ish morning C&C in Indy area? Thanks!

 

Thought I would try to revive this thread and see if any of the original Indy C&C people were still lurking on this site. If so, any interest in a reunion of the "original" attendees?

 

I'm still here lurking around.

Good to know you are still checking in, Jim. I’m looking at Saturday, 6/30 10 to noon at McAlisters parking lot to hopefully get at least some of the “originals” back together. Probably a BYOC (bring you own coffee) gathering. Let’s spread the word and let me know who is planning to attend.
