Northwest meet, October 18th Options

[Legit94GT]

The September meet got a big So by popular demand lets try an October meet

When: Oct 18th Meet around 12pm

Where: Meet in the Cascade Station(Ikea/Best Buy) parking lot,
10005 N.E. Cascades Parkway, Ste A Portland, OR 97220
since it is really close to all the freeways, and food places for lunch. After lunch we would drive up to rocky butte(depends on the group) then we would take Marine drive out East up towards Corbett and out to Crown Point(aka The Vista House) then take the old high way out to Multnomah Falls...

Its a very pretty drive with great locations for photo shoots.

Please feel free to add or subtract any ideas, or times and dates in regards to the meet. Just cause I posted this first doesn't mean my word is law


Rocky Butte **Possible location depends on group**



Crown Point





The Old Highway


Multnomah falls


Just thought you guys might want to see where it is we are going:) hopefully that helps:)

So i'll PM the only two people who havent said no yet (probablly cause they just havent signed on yet)

Griff Girl sorry about your car, that isn't your fault, and you drove the three hours to seattle like me for their meet so you are in the clear from my wrath...
97lestyousay 8 hours is a bitch of a drive(been there done it a couple of times and it blows) But why is it going to cost you a couple hundred dollars? is something wrong with your car? i figure you'd put around 550miles on your car here, driving around, and back home, that should only be 2 tanks of gas...


So i am done. I have planned, re-planned and re-planned a portland meet like 4 times now. Changing weekends, changing months, whatever i could so that it would work for the most people. I spent a whole day driving around to all the locations, even taking pictures figuring out how long it would take to do everything, wasting my time and money so that i could give a nice itinerary for everyone to read and understand, and then everyone bails last minute. again. I am tired of it, so i give up. Meets only work if people actually come. everyone goes on the "Maybe" list waiting to see if there is enough people who will say "yes i am going". But then everyone just waits on the maybe list cause they wont put themselves on the attending list.

Any one else is welcome to try a plan a meet down here, go for it, but i wont, not again, i'll show up, hell you can even use the same game plan i have laid out here, i dont care. But i dont want to hear any bitch about how there are never any meets down here. Me and griff drove 3 hours up to seattle to go to their meet, and we didnt whine and whiper about it, we just went were happy to go, to meet other celica enthusiasts, see what you guys have done to your cars, and so forth, i was hoping to see a little bit more support from people up there, i know there is more than just celica buddy and 96bluevert.

So whatever, im just glad i read this before i left to go wash and detail my car for tomorrow.
