UPDATE

alright, just touched base with Tied House. they don't know where they're going to stick us, but probably in the back. ask for the "914club" seating when you arrive.

THEY WILL NOT SPLIT THE BILL. which sucks, but i understand it from their perspective. bring cash to pitch in your share. there will be no alcohol on the main bill -- just food and soda's (and ice tea for brad). want beer? (yes.) get it at the bar. gratuity will be included, please pitch in your share. please bring cash.

park in back.

THIS IS GONNA FUCHIN' ROCK!!!




Hey gals and guys!

Let's celebrate the new year 914 style!

Wednesday, December 29th, from 7:30pm until whenever.

While not exactly a New Year's Eve party, it's close enough. I've talked with the Tied House, they're expecting us. All 914club members and their SO's/friends are welcome.* Bring a 914 if it runs! Come for dinner at 7.30, and stay for a couple beers!

http://www.tiedhouse.com/locations/mtn_view.html
954 Villa Street, Mountain View, CA 94041
Ph: (650) 965-2739

park in back.

PLEASE RSVP ON THIS THREAD (even if you rsvp'd on the other one) so I can anticipate what kind of a crowd we'll have. thanks.

*hot coed roommates are also welcome.

I'll be there. Not far from work, and I seem to be lingering until 7-ish lately, anway.

Won't be there with 914, though.

Posted by: jkeyzer Dec 17 2004, 07:57 PM

I'll be there. I should have my 914 although the locals should all carpool so we can get thoroughly wasted... Maybe DD can be our DD.

Posted by: nebreitling Dec 17 2004, 08:07 PM

good idea about the carpool, jeff.

everyone: don't ruin 2004 by driving drunk. RIDE DRUNK instead!!! woohooo!!

Posted by: Dr Evil Dec 17 2004, 08:10 PM

Boo-Ya, I am gonna be up there untill the 30th so I'm in. Hows about a free beer for the person who is traveling the furthest (Shameless moocher)

Posted by: neo914-6 Dec 17 2004, 08:14 PM

Chris et all,
I will be in Seattle that week, working out the Neo914. Besides, I may not have my V8 car soon. I think you need a NEW 400hp engine, hint hint. Thanks for taking over the V8 organizer riens!

Tied House is great... don't think I'll be there though

Posted by: mikeyb44 Dec 17 2004, 10:24 PM

hey, sorry I can't make it - will be out of town.

at the risk of making a drive-by posting, I'll just say that IMHO, Tied House has great beer but their food really s*cks. There's tons of great chinese places within a couple blocks; I'd suggest getting tanked up at the Tied House & then going to eat someplace else.

Just my $0.02 -

Posted by: SirAndy Dec 17 2004, 10:34 PM

yeah, she asked me too.
and i'm like "relax, i'll give you a ride". and she's all happy and stuff and says, "oh, you're sooo sweet. now, can you rub some of that oil on my back?" and me, totally stoneface, like i do that kind of shit all day "Sure baby, anything else i can do for you?" and then dude, she's all smiling and stuff and i'm like "Sweet! i'm getting laid tonight ..."

anyways, i'll be there. with the hot chick!

Can't wait to move into the real shop so I don't have to work on my car outside.

I'll need a reminder during the day of the 29th.

Hi Guys, I can't make this event, (at the beach with family), can I suggest a gathering for January or Feb? I would suggest meeting in the Palo Alto area for a fun drive followed by lunch. I am thinking of begining in Portola Valley, driving up Page Mill Rd. to Skyline, then back down 84 through Portola Valley ending up at The Alpine Inn (also known as Rozzati's or Zot's) for lunch. Zot's is a Stanford hangout, used to be frequented by Hell's Angel's in years past. Great burgers and beer outdoor seating. This would be a great event, imho, for the warmers days as sitting out in the sunny patio with plenty of beer.... you get the idea. We could also meet at the Dutch Goose, close by and a funky burger beer joint.
We could extend the drive and go over Hwy 84 through Pescadero Valley, very pretty, and to the coast, Hwy 1 and back if we wished.
Just my thoughts as a newbie eager to drive my fresh Zambezi restoration. Thanks.

Posted by: Dr Evil Dec 22 2004, 12:44 AM

Thats a great run, Ed. When I lived up there we would ride our motcycles all over the Santa Cruz hills. I really miss that area. You should post pics of your car soon.

WTF is this (boyfriend is required) BS? Truth is, I haven't asked if he wants to go yet. I'm secretly hoping he says "No, but let me drop you off so you can get shit-faced, then give me a call and I'll pick you up." Stranger things have happened.

we have had 30-40 914's in that parking lot in years past. I'm sure we can do it again.

Thanks for organizing. RSVP - I'll be there.

LMFAO andy...

everything's a go. i've got an important update on the first page of this thread. please read it.

yup, there's a police station a stone's throw from Tied House. DON'T ruin 2004 by getting a DUI, wrecking your purty 914, or worse. get your DD (that's "designated driver" -- not "dave darling") in order now!!

LET'S GET KKKRAZY!!!

Posted by: SilverBullet Dec 29 2004, 01:54 PM

I'll be brining one more 914'er. She's a newby I found at the local Auto Detailer. Be sure to say hi, her name is Lupe.
