SoCal BBQ Meet June 21, Covina Autobacs + BBQ Options

[MaskedMan]

**Covina AutoBacs Meet**

Where: Covina AutoBacs
1480 North Azusa Ave.
Covina, CA 91722

When: Saturday June 21, 2008 @ 11:00am

Description: We will be meeting at the AutoBacs location in Covina @ 11am. Reason we are meeting here instead of at Marco's house is so that I can post the address for the public to view. The Covina location is closer to a larger majority of the SoCal members than the Stanton location. If there are those who insist on meeting at the Stanton location, you can meet there at 9am and then come to the Covina location together at 11am. The meet will consist of your basic meet, greet, and then we will BBQ.
BBQ preping will begin around 4:30. Cooking will begin once the grill arrives around 5pm.

1) Marco's house: Meeting at 10:00am/Departing at 10:30am.

We can put the food in an Ice Box to keep them fresh. It will be able to keep the meat good and the meet good . It might be better to go to Autobacs first, becuase people aren't usually hungry right away. Walking around Autobacs will give people a time to arrive and gather, then the walking will build up our appetite.

EDIT: I just got back from Autobacs (the one in Stanton), and that place was deader than I have ever seen a place ever be. I hesistated to even walk inside, because I'm saying tomyself, "dude, are they even open? no-one is inside..." There used to be car meets there on Saturday nights too, but tonight, there was like 2 cars. It was seriously bad.

Here is my review of the Stanton location ...

Upon entering the building, I felt a cold presence, almost as if I wasn't welcome. Many many employees, however, I feel as if McDonald's employees would have been more helpful at this point in time. The employees there were standing around chatting and were non helpful. They gave off an impression as if they were forced to work their against their own will. I quickly gathered what I needed and got out. The store used to seem larger to me, but they really don't have a very large selection. I found the selection at the Covina location to be much more complete, and not just an entire row of Air Fresheners. The Stanton location did not have what I was looking for, so I had to purchase the JDM version of what I wanted, which was ofcourse much more exspensive. All I wanted was some simple smoke spray, made by VHT, simple can, usually about $10 a can. But nope, since Stanton Autobacs is JDM, they only carried the small JDM can of smoke spray at $25 for a can that is half the size of the VHT can. Freaking retarded. I had promised my friend I would tint his tail lights for weeks now, but have always been post poning it. So I really had no other choice. I didn't have enough time to drive to the Covina location and get what I needed, so I bit the bullet and purchased the spray and an air freshener. This spray better be enchanted by the spirit of an old Japanese racer and add 200hp, and play magical music every time you drive your car.

Did you ask for help and they didn't give it to you or something? Is someone supposed to walk up to you and hold your hand? It's a car place man... not a day care. If you need help walk up to an employee and ask for it.

Anyways... instead of bringing stuff for a bbq, if you guys really want to burn things why don't you meet at a Korean BBQ place.

Ok Marco, sounds good, I'll put you down for those things.
