RFC: LA Meet & Greet

[casm]

RFC = Request For Comments, for the less geeky

Anyway, I wanted to put forward a motion for forming an LA-area Meet & Greet. I do realise that I'm new blood around here, and by no means intend this to challenge any of the existing meetings - but Fullerton and Ontario aren't really handy to get to from LA, and I'm not sure if the Van Nuys meetings are still going on.

If there's sufficient interest, I'll scout a workable location and we can figure out a day and time later. Please note that one thing I'd like to make clear from the start is that if this does go ahead, we'd like to see folks from the other meets come up and join us whenever possible - and we'd like to be able to hang out with you guys, too.

Please give feedback - this is something I'd like to see happen, or at least be pointed in the right direction for if it's already going on.

Wow.. just reading this thread and seeing cities like Van Nuys, Santa Monica and the Valley brings back warm memories... I was born in Ventura and grew up in the San Fernando Valley but now reside in Connecticut (North Atlantic).

Just wanted to send a quick "Hello" from an ex-calif person who misses hanging out Saturday mornings at Venus Beach.

Rock Crawling is pretty kool on the East Coast. If any of you ever get out here, make sure to drop me a line. I can show you some good trails while reminiscing about my old homestead...

Best,
Marty

 

[ruggedjeep]

[Paul S]

I'd be up for it if it's in the valley, & if it's not at an In & Out.

Hey folks. Sorry for not replying sooner, but real life issues are interfering. Anyway, onwards.

Seems like we've got some interest here in a meet somewhere that's mutually-inaccessible to everyone So far, the SFV seems to have the greatest presence, and I live in Pasadena - but Santa Monica's piped up, and we've also heard from Westminster. Let's start throwing out suggestions for locations.

I'll pitch Downtown as a suggestion - the exact spot can be worked out later, but let's just stick with rough geographical areas for now. Ideas for other locations welcomed...

 

[Kejtar]

and we've also heard from Westminster.

Don't worry about little ol' me. I work in Canoga Park, so depending as to what time and which day (Mon and Wed are out for me) I should be able to make it to anything along 405 or 5 between the valley and OC .

 

[Captain Ron]

...I work in Canoga Park, ...

And live in Westminister? Man, I feel for ya.

I make my own sked, so anytime (most), anywhere (within reason).

I could be up for attending if it was on a night I didn't work, and if it's not too far into the valley. If it became somewhat regular I couldn't but it would be nice to do it every now and then. We Bakersfield folks are too far away to participate much in the SoCal activities, and we're way too far away for the NorCal stuff, but I'd cruise down for an evening if it made sense.

How about Santa Clarita?

 

[ScottyDog]

What every happened to Tommy's next to the Budweiser plant?? I remember a while back folks talking about it, but not sure if it every happened........ I'm a busy soul and lose track easily....

[bburge]

I could go back to Tommy's on Roscoe.

Santa Clarita would be fine for me too! :eyes:

how about sherman oaks area. close to the westside, right off the 405, and its in the valley. just my two cents

Let's compromise: Bob's Big Boy in Burbank next Wednesday (Sept. 29th) at 7.30pm. This is a starter location, so motions to hold the M&G elsewhere can be aired there. Does this work for everyone?

 

[GSequoia]

I still like the idea of the Redondo Pier..but I'm just being selfish

I probably won't be able to make it this time, I'll be rolling out to Moab that next Friday so I'm going to need all the prep time I can get.

[Alaskaflyr]

I'd be up for the Redondo Beach pier myself!
