So.... it looks like no one stepped up to the plate after Jeff Bowlsby. 
Is there an interest in the bay area to keep this thing going? If we get together this saturday, we can celebrate our little cars, as well as Britain Smith and Marty Yeoman's birthdays! Britain will be exactly half as young as Marty! 
Anyway, holla back and lets see if there's enough of an interest to get some people together this saturday.

I'll have a 9:14 breakfast in Napa on Friday...
Posted by: jkeyzer Jan 25 2005, 06:11 PM
Why don't we just do IHOP in the standard place at the standard time... If everyone just keeps going as if nothing ever happened, we don't even need an organizer.
Posted by: Jenny Jan 25 2005, 06:18 PM
That's what I figured as well. I don't mind posting a reminder for everyone the week prior, and we can get a head count going. But as long as we're just meeting for breakfast, it can be pretty impromptu.

People are more apt to show if they see others going. Sort of a junior high I'll-go-if-you-go type thing. 
I'll be there to partake in swedish pancakes! 
And nasty coffee

I wish we could find a place more north than San Jose. It's a long haul for some of us. Last year we were supposed to rotate the breakfast around and we did a little (HPH breakfast & Pleaseanton breakfast) but the north bay breakfast got rescheduled back to San Jose.

i think the coffee is better than the pancakes!
not compared to each other, but rather compared to other coffee and pancakes.
like elsewhere. not related. if you know what i mean.
there's nothing swedish about their pancakes. and i *mean* nothing.
altought the sausages *do* smell like a pig ...

Mwahaaahaahaaaa!!! I drove out to Hayward for one of them last year. If'n you want, you can organize one for the north bay, since we don't have an official organizer anymore. Viva la revolution!!!
Wait, wrong flag.

PS: I'm in.
I would be fine with going to another location, however that means researching the location, warning them there will be x number of people, etc. More work than it sounds like initially.
I would be fine with somewhere up north a bit but I think we should pick a central location rather than rotate. If we rotate I won't ever remember where I am supposed to drive every month. It also gives people an excuse not to go to every other event because the drive is longer that month. I'd rather drive 50 miles every time instead of 10 miles one month and 100 the next.

i'm out -- have a major deadline on tuesday and i'll be working non-stop through the weekend.
i shouldn't even be posting this, but i'm procrastinating just a little...
p.s. there's also the IHOP in redwood city off the 101, but not as much room as the SJ location.
Posted by: lapuwali Jan 25 2005, 07:07 PM
I was kicking around the idea of proposing a location more up the peninsula, but there aren't that many sit-down breakfast places with adequate parking. Almost by definition, good breakfast places are packed on Sat. mornings.
I do know of some coffee/bagel places mid-peninsula (there's a Starbucks/Noah's/Jamba combo very near 92 and 101). Lots of parking close by (biz hotel that doesn't get a lot of weekend traffic). The fact that this is about a mile from my house has NO bearing on suggesting this, of course.
As for rotation, remembering where is easy as long as the reminder goes out. Having X people wimp out because it's too far that month is better than having them never show at all because its too far EVERY month. I'd certainly think at least one Peninsula/South Bay location and one East Bay location would be a good idea.

I'll be disassembling my parts car Sat AM. 
Sorry, no trans Jenny...
James, what time are you coming?
Posted by: PatW Jan 25 2005, 08:47 PM
I found a cool spot in old-town Campbell. Its a little hard to find but, I think it would make a good meeting spot. Meet on Sundays and the Farmers Market is happining. Oh and the bar opens up at 11am for those wanting to get the liquid lunch. I scanned a menu. Lets see if it works.

now sorry, I live in Massachusetts, but I found a great place on the ocean outside of SF.
If you take the really cool road to La Honda ( A small town on the way to the ocean very near Redwood city)
There is a famous golf course out there, right next door is a great out of the way place to eat, and the roads are fantastic teener roads ( I beat a rental car up and down with all the bikers one sunday)

That's Alice's, and the road was Skyline Blvd (aka 35). Nice spot, but very, very crowded on the weekends, with a large police presence, mostly due to said bikers regularly offing themselves up there (and I say this as a 15 year biker with lots of track time). 35 is fairly pleasant during the week, if it's not really foggy.
The place was named after the actual Alice's Restaurant of song and movie fame, which was, of course, in Massachusetts (Stockbridge).
As for other Peninsula breakfast places, my wife reminded me that Stack's in Redwood City has a big parking lot, and is next to a Walgreen's with an even larger lot. This is a pretty good breakfast place.
Posted by: Britain Smith Jan 25 2005, 11:29 PM
Well...even though it will be my Birthday, I guess I will show up.
Just one request, can we PLEASE make it a lunch event. Not that I need to sleep in, I just don't want to have to get up and be rushed to get to a breakfast at a specific time. My pregnant wife will be happier also.

Lunch! 
Otherwise I have to get up at 6 to get there at 9.
Posted by: Midtowner Jan 26 2005, 12:07 AM
If it doesn't rain, I'd like to join in and bring along my 914 - the one that hasn't seen the light of day for 16 years. Just name the place and time and I'll be there!

There is a truly great breakfast joint in Princeton, about 5 miles south of Pacifica(where I live) the coffee is good and the food is great, and you can pick up your fresh crabs off the boats before you make them carsick on the way home. It might take a few minutes to arrange the table if there are a lot of us but 10 or so no problem. Let me know. Jim

I agree on the lunch angle, esp. this time of year. Better to stand around in slightly warmer temps than at 9am.
Felix, I'll swing by at 8:30-9. I think it is going to be raining.
Posted by: jkeyzer Jan 26 2005, 01:07 AM
I'm down with lunch too. Of course for me lunch is basically breakfast anyway since I usually can't drag my ass out of bed before 11 on a weekend anyway...
Posted by: Jenny Jan 26 2005, 02:03 AM
we can shoot for lunch. Birthday boy's request. But we need to come up with a place that can accomodate a whole gaggle of 914 folk.
Tied House? Seems like such a 914club cliche.. 
Jen
Posted by: Midtowner Jan 26 2005, 11:06 AM
Yeah, I like the lunch-ola idea! Tied House sounds great! Mountain View, right?
Posted by: Jenny Jan 26 2005, 11:41 AM
Yes? Is everyone else alright with Tied House in Mtn. View for lunch on Saturday? We should try to shoot for an early lunch. We'll be able to beat out the lunch crowd, and we'll take forever anyway. This will still free up some of saturday afternoon for those that have honey-do's or whatnot.
I'll contact them to see when they open, and I'll need somewhat of a head count.
