communication is a must. i wanna make mike0187 the north organizer.

seems like the date of 3/22/08 is fine w/ everyone. lets talk about location. san luis obispo? bakersfield? give me some feedback ppl!
****update 12/9
i have got 20 out of 37 ppl's email. i will be sending an email later on this week. good list so far. i hope everyone is looking forward to this event. BUMP!!!
I'll try and be there. Monterey is a kick ass location...I agree. Remember, I have an extra 2 hour drive from Reno, NV. I've been to Monterey and Pebble Beach and it would make for very nice pics. Add me to the Nor Cal list...PEACE
hey man hopefully it was just a typo when u were saying monterey. because monterey is about 2 1/2 hours north of san luis obispo, so coming from reno it would be another 2 1/2 hours further. just tryin to help ya out.
I thought we were trying to meet somewhere in the middle....not only in SoCal. I'm in Reno as well as a few others that want to go here in Reno. If it's in SoCal, your talking an 8 hour drive for us.....I'm not sure if I could make it. Monterey/Pebble Beach/Carmel/Laguna Seca is like 5 hours for us and less than that for you guys. That's more in the middle....."but that's just my opinion"....PEACE
San Luis Obispo, seems to be the closest to the middle of Cali, and it's semi close to the cost and other stuff. So i would think that would be the best place to go. The only thing with that would be most of use would want to find a place to crash for the night instead of driving the 3+ hours home. So we could make it a weekend deal instead of only Saturday. Like whoever crashes for the night in the area we can all meet up for Breakfast and a quick little meet before heading home... I don't know just my opinion...
Hey Mike i can try to organize the SD peeps if you don't have any one yet...
yea man. I've put 3 different calls in the courtyard marriot in SLO for a group sales quote. I will call again today but the bitch never calls me back! so within the week I think ill have a quote. the infos on page 4 where says Security update
the only reason bakersfield was on the list was because that was the first location mike had brought up. when I think bakersfield I think barstow lol
Monterey or Bakersfield. Either works for me but it might be a sticking point for some of the guys from the south but also for some of the guys who may want to come from even further north like timbo for example. If timbo could get another 6-10 is's who'd be willing to drive to monterey then that may be the better place to go.
Monterey or SLO sounds good to me. There's 5 other IS's up here that I'll try and get to go. Let me know when we have a definate place....I'm pretty much down either way....
So someone finally called me back from the courtyard by marriot, and it wasnt the girl i spoke with the first time. she told me that we could get a rate of $199.00 for saturday night, the regular price would be $249.99. hotels.com has the same hotel listed for around 189.99 but in order to book all the rooms the total bill of all our rooms would have to be paid by feb. 24 but if we actually go through the marriot we would just have to come up with a deposit and than we could pay for the rooms cash when we get there. i will also put some calls into the hotels in pismo beach because its so close to SLO
the madonna inn only has about 100 rooms. we currently have 40+ people on the list and thats not including who else might come from CL. so if 30+ ppl book a room thats pretty much a third of all their rooms. so i doubt they would want to give us a special deal or for that matter even be able to give up that many rooms.
So basically we are tentative on March 29th 2008 in san luis obispo. unless anyone has a problem with that.
We need to pin down a date. Can we just call it March 29th. If there's any issues with 3/29 then let's get them voiced by Jan. 24th, that'll give people a two month notice.
hahaha. ill look into paddles that will fit on our cars.
yea pismo is really close. we can have the big meet in SLO and just stay the night in pismo.
the date is 3/29. and like it's been said before, the location is SLO unless others disagree.
