I am coming in to San Diego for business on 5/23 and 5/24.

Open for dinner and/or drinks in the evening of 5/24. Always nice to meet fellow 914 clubbers.

So I would assume that this the area they call So. Cal right? What will the weather be like?

Anybody have a teener they want to rent me for the day?


edited - days got changed already.... free on evening of 24th

Thanks Mark,

Not sure where we are staying yet. From what I understand the customer that we are visiting, Solar Turbine, is right on the PCH. When I find out more I'll let ya know.

Thanks for the weather.... probably be in a zoot suit most of the time but ya never know.

sounds good. maybe DrEvil can have his going away party that day.

I'm up for a beer with you on evening of 23rd. Hey, Brer, how about it? John

Hey guys.... sounds like fun.

I should have my itinerary today. I'll let you know.

Okay Finally got the scoop.

Will arrive in SD on 23rd, but busy that evening, dinner with customers.

HOWEVER... I am free the night of the 24th, couldn't get a flight out that night so we are staying over until 25th.



I am staying at the Hilton on Harbor Island Drive.



Who's up for it. First round is on me

BTW... Paging Dr. Evil...... I put the clamshells that you sold me on last weekend.... went great. Come on man I owe you a for that. (see PC, hah)

See you guys soon.

Did someone say "Evil"?


that night sounds good to me (especially free beer ), I'll look forward to seeing you then.

I may be able to attend. I get Mondays off. Please keep us updated.

I'm in. Havent seen Todd in a few years.

I'll shoot Mark my cell number.

Lets gather a few more people if possible.

Monday the 23 might be tough.
I was thinking about chiming in, buy Kelly is moving into her new flat this weekend and i'm helping.
She did buy a new bed, so....

we shall see.

I'm confused. The first post says Monday the 23rd is open, and then today's post says Tuesday the 24th is open.

Which is it? Monday 23, or Tuesday 24?

Im in. I will have the new radiator in by then so Ill bring the beast out of hibernation

I can do tuesday.

May i recommend The Turf Club.
Sirloin steaks for 6.75 and top cocktails.

Johnny Cash in the jukebox.

a good oldschool neighborhood place.

just a suggestion,
any other watering holes you guys like?

I'll be needing exact directions to these places.. I know of the "5" the "8" and the "15" that is about it..maybe "83" ?? does that sound right ?

Oh yeah.. and I know where the Miramar exit is.

I like the San Diego Brewing Co on Friars. It is not usually very crowded, its central, and it has many beers on tap.

But, I really don't care either way. Let me know what you think.

Sorry for the confusion guys. It is the 24th that is open. Time wise probably anytime after 6:00 would be OK.

I'll let you guys decide on the place


We probably should plan it in advance..... I need to have a specific excuse to ditch my traveling companions. Unless they want to come along.

Just let me know the when and where and I'll be there.

Whoever is heading up the arrangments let me know. I will PM you my cell number so I can get directions etc.


THANKS GUYS... this is starting to sound like a fun trip.

Depending on what time my golf round finishes that afternoon (work golf league) I may be able to join you guys. It's usually over by around 7:00 ~ 7:30 PM

Forgot to put my vote in.... Dr. Evil's idea for Brew house sounds good.

As stated in the past I LOVE

Wasn't that an old country song?

I’m good for the evening of the 24th. Ideally we could drive a string of 914’s to the Hilton, and pick up Todd in style, take a couple of sunset laps around Harbor Island, and then head off for beers. There would be some good photo ops at the Hilton courtyard/fountain and on Harbor Island with the downtown San Diego skyline in the background. The SDBC rates good to awesome reviews at pubcrawler.com, and Evil makes a good point regarding the centrality. Those that couldn’t meet at the Hilton with a 914 (or whatever else they want to drive) would see us at the brew house. A few 914's pulling up to the Hilton could make this a mini-event for our club member from Ohio. How does that sound?

Is this the place?

San Diego Brewing Co
10450 Friars Rd San Diego, CA 92120-2311

Sounds good to me. I go to SDBC every Wed night from 8pm to when ever. Great place. I probably will not have a car so I will go and get us reservations.


Everyone coming should RSVP here so I know how many seats to reserve. If you just want to drink, we could crowd the bar

Thats the place, Mark.

wow teeners on parade.


What a great freakin idea.

I'm RSVPing


Now what did I say about the first round of drinks

Ok who wants my cell number... no 900 calls please (Z, I'm wise to your ways)

I don't check the board very much on the weekend so I'm trying to plan accordingly.

I will have my laptop with me, so I can check email wherever I can find wireless service.

Looking forward to meeting you guys.

Thanks for the PM Mark.

Sent ya back one as well.

C-ya

RSVP'ing and I am in for a 914 mini-caravan to pick this guy up at the Hilton along with anyone else that would like to participate. Just say the time to meet at the Harbor Island Hilton, and if this is what others would like to do, chime in if you will be there for the pick up. I will volunteer to be DD and make sure Todd gets back to Hilton if there isn't already a plan in place. Looks like Cloudbuster is coordinating so I will defer to him to firm things up. John

Count me in! I've got a pantload of work but, I can certainly blow it all off.

After all, it ain't rocket surgery.

Doh!

I'm outta town on Monday, which makes me out of reach. I'm an anti-cellphone luddite.

Other than that, how about shooting for 7pm at SD Brewing Co? Pick up Todd at 6:30 at the Hilton? (I'm not sure if Tinkerbell well be ready for the parade)

Any objections? That should give enough time to gather from hither an yon.

Everybody clear on location? 1st 15 freeway exit that is north of the 8.

It should be behind the Carl's Jr on the north side of the road.

I'm in. So it's Tuesday the 24th at the San Diego Brewing Club on Friars around 7pm. Cool, see you there.

Ha, Ha, Ha!

Mark you got so 'volunteered' by Johnny! That was smooth. You couldn't have dodged that if you tried!

Careful now, I'm going to work on you 'volunteering' to replace all my bushings!

Hee, hee, hee!

I'll try to hit the Hilton at 6:30. If not, then 7:00 at SDBC

Damn. The weather down here is nice (I know it was hot over the weekend)

Not sure what time I'll show up.. but I will be there.

Sorry I didn't call you back about the bushings. I didn't have a set anyhow.

Unless something comes up, I'll be there. So are we all meeting at the Hilton or SDBC? Anybody pick a solid time yet?
cheers, Elliot

Yo Elliot,
You can come down anyitme you want and I'll hang with you untill we go to SDBC. But, I think that hte time mentioned was 7pm at SDBC and 6:30 at the hotel.

It is in a little strip mall. There is a PetCo, a Carl's Jr., and a Coco's in the same lot. It is in the middle and is spelled out San Diego Brewing Company.

I'll PM my cell if you need it to find us. I am sure that you will be fine.

Yep. I did a fly-by this evening (I actually didnt pay attention to the date/time) and it is not listed correctly. Cool place. NICE servers. I'll see what I can do about tomorrow evening. I planned a "all hands" meeting with the shop for tomorrow evening because my dumbass *thought* our gathering was tonight. DOH !!

I'm thinking about bringing the crew from the shop with me and holding our meeting at the same time.

Hi guys!

Sorry I've been AWAL for the last day or so. Can't seem to get wireless access here in the SD

Anyway I got John's email and we are set for tonight.


I am rushing out to a meeting now but I just wanted to check in. I'm still on east coast time so I've been up since 4:30 SD time

Hopefully I can stay awake for the festivities.

See ya all tonight!

914 fun with Ohioian tdgray and 914club San Diego contingent including newly arrived NorCal transplant Brad. We had a four-car parade pick up at the Hilton including Don Traver's beautiful original 6. Nice to meet you Todd!
