Hey Guys,

I figured making a new thread would be the best way to get the word out about my meet this month. Most of you know already it's July 19th (which is also my B-day). Just checked the weather report, Sunny and 86* :cool:

So the plan is to meet in Tacoma at 10:00-10:30am near the Point Defiance Park. Considering where to meet, I figure the easiest place to meet would be right off the Hwy-16/6th ave exit. Making a right turn on the 6th ave exit will bring you to a K-Mart about 1 block on the right. There is a huge parking lot there that we can gather and then go to the Park. I'd like to keep an on time schedule but if anyone is late or lost, just call me. If you need my number just PM me.

After the "slow" cruise through the 5 Mile drive (which has great photo opps, so bring your cameras) we will then head down to the Ruston Way Waterfront. There's a nice little tunnel that we have to pass through to get there, so anyone looking to record while driving through a tunnel, feel free to do so. There are plenty of restaurants on the Waterfront that we can stop in and grab a small lunch.

After a quick bite, where off to Dr. Volk's in Burien, (we can all just follow me or Dr. Volk to his house, if you need an address just PM one of us) for a great BBQ, swimming, crocket and just about anything else we can think of. He lives on a gorgeous lake, so don't forget your swim suits. Please bring what you want to throw on the grill, we will be providing Hamburgers and Hot Dogs.

Please note if you are going to make it, weather it's for the whole day or just part of the day so we can get a head count for the BBQ. Please feel free to invite a guest/spouse/friend. Looking forward to seeing you guys on the 19th.

Thanks,
Chris from Tacoma
 
Make sure you bring swim suits, etc.

I'll get some beer/soda/whatever. If it's a hot day, it's a great place to be.

There's also 5 bars/restaurants within walking distance.

Should be plenty of parking. I think we can handle about 10 cars...probably more if we got creative.

I'll most likely be missing the morning part since I work 10-11, but I'll track you guys down wherever you are and go from there.

I'd like to get a bit of a head count so I know how many burgers to get.
 
nah, it'll be too cold for Chris... :tongue:

What time is the bbq again?? Trying to see how I can make it to Eric's house not being too late.

The party can go until the sun goes down....but I doubt people will stay that long. lol
 
Dang it!! I am outta town that weekend!!! why am I always outta town when this stuff happens.....wait a minute....why am I always outta town?......That woman!!! it's her fault!!.....:redface::redface::redface::redface:......Why does she have so much power over me?......Oh wait...nevermind.
 
i should be there with my spouse, if all goes well. i'll probably be late if I do go, gonna take the long way there :biggrin: 240 mile round-trip and 5 1/2 hours of total driving

We'll make em fit. We can start parking on the lawn if we have to.

If anyone needs my address, just PM me or call my cell the day of: 2063833929. My street (157th) looks like a driveway, so don't get too confused when you're coming down 12th.

There will be an extra parking spot as my NSX will be with Zahntech unless there is some sort of miracle.
 
I work til 3:00:frown: If you guys are still around after that, I would like to meet everyone

You can still join us at Dr. Volks. Just give us a call or PM to get addy and directions.

Arnon: thx for the list. I will be sending out an invite to them today
 
Looking forward to meeting you guys. I'll be there for the first half in a yellow '01.

Look's like i'm busy on sunday with baseball but will be in that general area at tcc I might still try and meet you before the 5 mile drive...

The meet is on Saturday.

Do you guys want me to get a small keg, or is just some bottled beer ok? I'm not sure how much drinking will be going on, but it does get hot out there.

One more thing: NO SHOES IN THE HOUSE. My wife is very strict about this. If we want to do future events, we have to follow this rule!
That's about it...we'll be outside probably the whole time anyhow.

Eric I think just getting separate drinks might be better, that way if someone has a preference, they can just stop by one of the stores near your house.

Coming down to the wire, so PLs copy and paste for confirmation.

Thanks guys,
Chris
