914World.com _ 914World Garage _ North Bay Area get together?

Posted by: jhadler Feb 1 2006, 03:01 PM

Hey all you North Bay types...

I'm going to be in Santa Rosa (well... Sebastopol) for a while later this month. Thought it might be nice to get together with some 914clubers for lunch or something...

Nothing solid quite yet, but somewhere between the 15th and 25th...

No autox at the SR airport that weekend by any chance? Trekkor, I want to see that new paint job!

Any interest?

I'm in Santa Rosa and would be happy to meet up.
I can even host, and might actually have my car running again by then!

Posted by: McMark Feb 1 2006, 05:28 PM

I'm in, let me know when.

Depending on exactly when/where, I can give it a try! Hmm, lemme ping Randy too...

I'm interested and live in Santa Rosa. No autox until march 4, but there is a PCA time trial at Infineon Feb 25/26.

Let's see what happens...

I'm in .....what the fuck is an agilent.....French food?????

Posted by: jhadler Feb 8 2006, 04:06 PM

Okay.

I'll have more specifics in the next few days. I'll be in Sebastopol (pretty near to Santa Rosa) visiting family, and thought it'd be nice to visit with the 'teener crowd while I was there....

Any suggestions on a good watering hole with good food?

So...

How does Friday the 24th work? An early diner might work too, like 5:30 or so? Who's in?

-Josh2

Posted by: jimtab Feb 9 2006, 04:51 PM

Sorry, it's pretty hard to get from the city to Santa Rosa by 5:30 on a Friday nite....the traffic sucks on 101 on Fridays....slow all the way....

101 and 80 are a 30 mile parking lot around that time of the day on a weekday ...

Why don't you meet at Sears on Saturday afternoon, check out the PCA timetrial, then go 10 minutes to Novato at 101 for dinner. Several restaurants and huge parking lot.

If I could make the argument to drive down to Sears, I would. But that won't fly with the rest of the family.

If dinner doesn't work, what would? Friday the 24th (from noon on) is pretty open at this point. Wish I had the time to make to Sears, havn't been there in -years-.

Suggestions?

Pretend to have a heart attack, and get rushed off to a hospital at the intersections of Highways 37 and 121. PCA is having a time trial at Sears Point that weekend.

Evidently Sebastopol isn't very full of nice gathering places for dinner/drinks/BSing about cars. Randy suggested heading into Santa Rosa, hitting the 3rd street ale works.

I'll run into the same problems making an early Friday gathering as most of the other people who are down in the South Bay. And I may be busy the rest of the weekend as well--but I'll try to shake some time free; if I can you may get to meet my attorney...

Oh, definitely Santa Rosa. I wasn't thinking anyone would go so far as to come into Sebastopol. It's not far from Santa Rosa.

So the question becomes where and when and who? Where sounds like 3rd street ale? So then it's just when and who?

-Josh2

Posted by: jhadler Feb 10 2006, 10:55 AM

Would Thursday work better for folks? It looks like Thursday the 23rd is my open day, not Friday. 6:00 dinner?

Just trying to make something work...

-Josh2

Posted by: nocones Feb 10 2006, 01:48 PM

I'm just down the street so I'll be there whenever works for the group.

Posted by: McMark Feb 10 2006, 02:34 PM

I think the later you can make the dinner the better. I think some of the greater bay area people (Andy?) would be able to make a 7:30 dinner. That'll be $0.02.

Posted by: Dave_Darling Feb 11 2006, 01:50 AM

Thursday? Nope--I've got a job now...

--DD

Posted by: jhadler Feb 13 2006, 05:58 PM

So... Thursday the 23rd? Dinner? 3rd Street Ale in Santa Rosa? Who's in?

I'm asking now as my internet access will be quite limited once I'm away from home. I -might- be able to check in once a day...

Congrats Dave!!

What's the new gig?

-Josh2

Posted by: Dave_Darling Feb 14 2006, 01:10 AM

Doing ATC simulation/visualization. Right next door to the old gig at NASA, but paid by a different outfit.

Posted by: jhadler Feb 16 2006, 07:18 PM

Hey all,

I had a chance to check in... is there still interest in getting together in Santa Rosa? Could I hear from ya?

-Josh2

Posted by: McMark Feb 16 2006, 09:56 PM

I'm not available on Thursday.

Posted by: jhadler Feb 21 2006, 02:12 PM

Hey all,

Just checking to see if there's still any interest in a get together in Santa Rosa on Thursday. If there's no responses here, I'll stay at my in-law's and sip martinis overlooking the vinyards... So let me know, I'd love to meet with some fellow teeners while I'm out here, and hoist a few beers....

-Josh2

Posted by: RoadGlue Feb 21 2006, 07:17 PM

Hey Josh (and everyone else).

I'm open just about any time. I suggest that we just settle on a date and time and then just let those who make it make it. You can always have another get together soon for those who aren't able to make it this time.

Give me a call if you'd like - 707.529.7860, or email me at randyw AT sonic DOT net.

Look forward to seeing some of the crowd again soon,

Randy

Posted by: nocones Feb 21 2006, 07:32 PM

Didja get the Daytona?

It was good seeing you at the Daytona 650's party over at Moto Mechanica. Yep, I'm the proud owner of that red 955i. Went on a ride this morning to Middletown and back, as the weather was just perfect for it. We'll have to go for a ride together soon!

I'm paying for the Sonic.net account... well, I will be come next month.

Give me a shout sometime.

Cheers,

Posted by: jhadler Feb 23 2006, 11:43 AM

Okay, so if there's interest. Then let's meet at 3rd street ale in Santa Rosa. 6pm.

I'll get a table under "914 Club". Come on, I know there's more locals up here... Trekkor?

Anyway... 6pm 3rd stret ale, Santa Rosa. Today. Hope to see ya there...

-Josh2

Posted by: nocones Feb 23 2006, 12:15 PM

See ya at 6!

Posted by: RoadGlue Feb 23 2006, 03:17 PM

6 PM it is! Glad I checked the board today.

Posted by: RoadGlue Feb 23 2006, 05:36 PM

Looks like it might just be the three of us.
