What: Middle of the Year meet.

Where: Castaic Lake, California

When: June 26th, 2010

Why: Because we need one grand summer meet a year!

How: Brought to you buy the good people of 6GC

*Update 5/4/10* Haha, somehow the first page got wiped clean, so I have to redo the updates again. Hopefully those of you who have followed the thread has got the info down already. The location has been reserved and paid for. The t-shirt designs are being finalized. Pictures of people's Celica have been collected. Model has been booked. Events are being finalized. Caravans being organized. Gee, have I forgotten anything? Well, that's what updates are for .

*UPDATE 5/9/10* Okay, so all confirmed attendees (as of 5/9/10) can expect a free t-shirt plus one additional freebie. You can still show up to this event if you did not confirm, just don't be bummed out when you see the cool stuff you missed out on 'cause you were too lazy to send me a confirmation! A small lunch will be offered, drinks and snacks. I'll have to make up the itinerary again.

*UPDATE 5/18/10* I've uploaded pics and the map of the place. There is a specific parking lot we want to hit before anyone/everyone else parks there. The park/bbq area I reserved is near lot #5. There's more than enough space for our +35 cars, but we still need to get there early to prevent other people from parking between all of us (early arrivers should "block" people from parking near them). Like I said before, there will be a lite lunch served (drinks, snacks). I'm still trying to find a place that can accommodate +40 people, so be patient. Hometown Buffet is the best place (so far) and it's about 15 miles away. A BBQ is still not out of the question as sunset is around 8PM so that would give us plenty of daylight to do some serious cooking...but I'd prefer a more relaxed setting for the closing part of the meet. Oh, and there IS a parking fee. I believe it's $8 (or something like that). So bring money you cheapo's! Lastly, all members who confirmed will be getting the free MotY t-shirt (and I think they kick serious arse). Those who show up (who didn't add themselves to the list) can get any left over shirts. The "premium" shirt will be sold for $12 at the meet. You can get one sent to you for $15 after the meet if you didn't bring money. Senior Tip is working diligently on making the final touches on it and I will post a pic of it as soon as he's done. Lastly, someone let the cat out of the bag about the...awards...at the end of the meet *cough* Andrew! *cough* *cough*. To those who didn't attend FotY, there were things that were handled out at the end of the meet who those who stuck around to the end (which was everyone!). This was intended as a "secret" bonus for people who showed up...but I might as well make a formal announcement of it now since this info was made known to some others already. Anyways, with little more than a month left before the (biggest) 6GC meet ever, let's all get ourselves and our cars ready. I'm looking forward to meeting each and everyone one personally (as well as their cars)





*UPDATE 5/24/10* A few things. For those who are not familiar with Castaic (or not from SoCal), please be advised that it will be HOT. So plan on wearing comfortable clothing such as shirt/t-shirts, shorts, etc (jeans probably will be okay, ladies may wearing skirts but beware the howling winds). A hat would be a good idea too. But bring a sweater/jacket for the evening as it can get cold/windy. Considering the magnitude of this meet, we are going to skip the restaurant idea for dinner and instead go with a BBQ instead. There was too much complications with reserving enough spots for +30 people at a restaurant, coordinating the +30 car caravan to said restaurant, etc. So a BBQ is now being planned. Bring whatever you would like to share, but the core essentials will be handled by the event coordinators (drinks/supplies/food). At the last meet, the BBQ worked out fine, so we shouldn't have a problem this time around. In regards to the caravans, to those who would like to join in on the NorCal and SoCal caravans, if you can make it, that's fine. But logistically, if it is going to inconvenience you to join one of the caravan, it might just make more sense to start your own from your location. So far there's the NorCal one meeting up in Tracy. SoCal is meeting where the 405/5 meets (I believe it's near Burbank). But if you're in a place that just doesn't make sense to caravan, by all means arrive on your own (we promise not to make fun of you for being a loner). Finally, Castaic Lake is a large park that has a lot of activities. You can fish, there's a sandy beach, paths for biking, etc. So you can spend the entire day hanging around the meet area or wander off and do your own thing for awhile (although try to stick around so you don't miss out on the activities/announcements).

Oh, and the 4 events are as follow

- timed puzzle challenge
- driving/parking skill challenge
- 6GC/MotY quiz
- scavenger hunt

11:00AM - 12:00 Registration/roll-in

Hey guys,

So after a successful turn out for the first ever FotY meet in CA, MotY is now being planned out for this summer. The date and location hasn't been determined yet, but most likely it will down south, probably closer to the LA area and most likely in the month of July. So plan ahead, get your car ready in the next few months, and get your butt there! And of course, expect the same sort of meet as FotY except it will be warmer and hopefully with at least 20 member this time! So keep tuned in and check back occasionally for updates.

i'm in, the last one was a blast, i just hope i can get the front end done and painted by then......

[benzo]

YES!! I'm sooo down. please have it close to la, cause i have family there.. or close too..

last meet was awesome, so count me in!!

[CelicaST_CALI]

[Aznbcrzy]

Im down like jay sean and lil wayne

[BonzaiCelica]

[MaskedMan]

Can't wait. Hopefully my celica is complete by then. if not then I wont be able to make it till mid august....

What still needs to be completed on it?

[BonzaiCelica]

you'll just have to wait and see..

[MaskedMan]

you'll just have to wait and see..

But I won't be able to see it if your car isn't able to make it to the meet .

[BonzaiCelica]

true that. only time will tell

[windowlicker]

faust and i were talking about this yesterday, and we're coming up with ideas of what we can do for the meet to break up the usual parking lot meet and make it a little more fun, but not too complicated. still in the development stages of ideas, but lets just say we came up with some realistic ideas that will make this a great meet and well worth the drive for people that are not local. i've already been thinking of how to get some great video and photos.

stay tuned in, as when we work everything out, we'll post it up.

[nics]

why dont we do it in LA?

[benzo]

can't be right in the middle of la of course.. gott be somewhere on the outskirts where there is room to do what we wanna do..

[windowlicker]

nics, thats part of our idea. we really want to make the meet a good one so that people that drive down feel that the trip was worth it.

[nics]

same spot chris?

[windowlicker]

actually no. trying to mix it up, want to keep it fresh.
