Alright guys, this is a really early thread, but I think it would be good to get some solid ideas down for next month's meet. Some people that wanted to go were unable to make it last time since it was on a Friday, or because the meeting time was too late. Since it's only mid-March, let's try to come up with specifics now so if anything needs to change, everybody can prepare for it (a day off of work, plans for the week~weekend). I am going to be out of town during my Spring Break (last month of March), so I was thinking of having the meeting date to be either Friday April 8th or Saturday April 9th, and since this thread is so early, maybe people can take a Saturday off if we all decide to have it on a weekend. Of course, this is just my suggestion, this is not like a written rule or anything. Let's all plan this TOGETHER so everybody who wants to go can attend. Here are my suggestions:
Friday night: It was a good turn out last time, but I think more people would have come if it wasn't so late (~10:30pm) and if it was planned earlier. I felt kind of bad because I didn't take into consideration what places are still open, and if people are willing to actually do something like eat and stuff. Let's try to get these details down now so we won't have this problem.
Saturday morning-afternoon-night: I'm sure people either have work or have something to do, but since it is early enough, people can try to get it off, or make plans around this day. I for one have work and will have to request it off, but on the other hand, if Saturday is the designated day and people do get it off, we can probably do more stuff i.e. cruise/find a place to hang/find a place to eat/have the meeting time at a more preferable time where places are open, and when most people can do stuff. Like if we decide to meet in the morning, people will still be able to do things later in the day. Just a thought.
To-Do: I kind of just wanted to maybe grab a bite to eat and then possibly take a drive afterward, but that's just me. Everybody please post any ideas (time/place/activity), any idea is a good idea. One thing I do want to at least do when this goes down is meet everybody! I didn't do that last time, and I hope nobody felt left out or uncomfortable.
Some other notes: Last time I didn't take into consideration the weather, and we almost had a problem with an exact location. Let's get some ideas down now so everybody knows what is going to go down. Oh and one last thing, again EVERYBODY is welcome to come hang out, not just the San Jose area guys, so if you know anybody who would want to hang, they are welcome to attend. Let's get this thing rolling!

I say meet at valley fair and then we can go on a cruise if the weather is nice, and if not I am sure we can figure something out. Hell we bought these cars and need to know how to fix them so I am sure we can figure out some way to waste time.
