Ok guys, the date is set. It's obvious we're not going to be able to accommodate everyone, so it looks like we're good for the 13th of August.

Please keep this date in mind as it would be nice to get a good gathering. Come next week I would like to have somewhat of a headcount as to who is going to show so I'll know if we need to set a reservation. So please, if you are a definite, please respond so we can keep a headcount.

If you do not respond, we may under-reserve and have seating issues...

IIRC, if you've got more than 25 people showing up, they prefer to make a menu for the group (4-5 entrees) and everyone pays a set amount of $ no matter which entree they choose. It's easier on the staff, but not necessarily fair for the patrons.

I'm in...

That's fine with me...it makes it easier to figure out the bill.

Oh, BTW, I'm not volunteering for the collection plate!!! I know I'm an accountant, so that automatically "excludes" me!!!

Count me in!

I'm in. Fur Realz.

I'm out. About five or six thousand miles out, actually.

Well, we'll just have to do another one in your honor later...

If Mark's in, I'm IN,
likely with my little one and maybe another friend

Felix, I thought you were going to razz me about missing the IHOP breakfast (I'm getting over a cold). But I'll be there. Tied House has better burgers than IHOP.

Cool!! The more the merrier!!

I'm going to set a lunch time of 11 AM as I know we'll be doing a lot of socializing, I'm sure. I would say that everyone should start showing up a little earlier so we can get everyone gathered and sat by 11 or shortly after.

The reason I'm setting a fairly early lunch time is because I have a salon visit set for 1:45 and I can't miss it. I've already waited over 3 months to get in. Hope no one minds...

So Far:

Lyressa (Me)
lapuwali (James)
Midtowner (Taco...?)
McMark (Mark)
Neo914-6 (Felix)
Britain & Fam
SirAndy (said he should be able to make it)

Put me on the list, please. I have a few questions on brake upgrades.

Hmm, looks like I'm already on the list. Midtowner = Taco = Erik Takaoka.

Go ahead and add Brian and I to the list. We should be able to make it.

You can only ask the questions in person? Start a thread!

Pick me! Pick me!

Deanna and I should be able to make it.

Is the Mtn View or San Jose location more central for everyone?

So Far:

Lyressa (Me)

Well, if you're asking Andy, Mark, or myself, neither are centrally located!! But Mountain View is definitely closer, I think.

I'd prefer Mtn View. Not because I live there, but because parking anywhere in downtown tends to be a bitch.

Jon,

Light rail and Cal Train stop in Mtn View.

Where do you live, maybe I can pick you up.

Did you make it to Jason and Mel's party? I left early...

There's a free triple level parking structure across the street...unlikely to park together though.

I'm not going to raz anyone who drives that far. Are you able to make it to San Jose?

I'm in...just decide wither SJ or Mtn. View.

Ok, maybe my blonde is coming out, but "huh"?

WCC joke. There were no track fees, but everyone and their uncles insisted on asking Howard every chance they had "How much are the track fees?"

hi all,
put me down as (1) more.
(I've called another 914 friend to see he wants to join so look for a posting here after mine, maybe.)

I was at the IHOP gathering about a year ago; haven't been back to the 914club website much this past year... but things have finally let up a little on the home/work front. Looking forward to seeing you folks again!

Note that the best parking is BEHIND the place, which isn't at all obvious as you drive up. There's a dirt lot across the street from the front door, but there's a big paved lot around the back. Our usual lunch space is a big room at the back, so the rear lot is actually more convenient.

oh boy, a possible sale, I might have to show up now

Turn from Villa onto Franklin (towards Evelyn) and the parking lot is on your right.

I don't know. I have a hair appointment at 1:45 and Angel has a baby shower at 2...There will probably be some people still there at 12:30, but I'm sure 1 will be slim.

Is there room for one or four more?

I've never attended an event due to scheduling issues but I am attempting to make this one. School the new guy; can I bring the family (the kids fit in the front trunk...lol)? Let me know the protocol and pencil me in please. I'll confirm later this week.

Thanks.
