Phoenix 6th Meet up

sparkyAZ · 01-10-2008, 10:00 PM

Hi everyone! Now that we've all recovered (or semi-recovered) from The Holidays, it's time to plan the next meet. There were several ideas posted in the last meet thread, so we have a few things to decide this time around.

To summarize:

Do we want to have an activity or another general get-together?

Where do we want to meet?

When do we want to meet? Friday evening? Weekend morning, afternoon, or evening?

The last meet had a strong contingent of one Mesa and two Chandler residents, but hopefully we can find a date/time/location that allows more to attend.

I'm open to either type of get together, and as far as date/time/location, Friday evenings work best for me anywhere in Scottsdale, Tempe, or Mesa. Weekends can be hit and miss for me, and I'm way out in The Burbs so pretty much everywhere is a long drive. The meet places I'm familiar with are The Pavillions in Scottsdale, Riverview, and Tempe Marketplace. North Phoenix and west side owners will have to chime in with their suggestions since I'm not familiar with those areas.

How about we meet somewhere on a Saturday morning then caravan up to Rock Springs (just over the county line on I-17) for some pie? The cafe there is well knowen for their pie. It is where the school bus drivers all go.

Hang on H2 no one has proposed any date yet. I suggest we pick a date at least two weeks in advance so we can get the word out.

It sounds like you're having all the fun you lucky girl! Do you need someone to lug around an empty film canister or memory card for you?

The 25th/26th should work out for me, but Rock Springs is like 70mi x 2 = 140 miles which works out to 3 DinoGallons per slice. I like pie and all, but maybe something a bit closer?

By the way, welcome to PriusChat Native_Prius ... it's always good to see a new member!

We're in the N. Scottsdale area, FLW is close. I'm thinking good car related meet spots would be coffee and deli shops, Scottsdale Pavillians on Sat night (shine 'em up and lift those prius' hoods

), indoor go-carts (thought i'd sneak that one in as I've never been

), and I hear the tortilla flats is a nice drive.

And how could we forget the Barrett-Jackson auction (quieter with current recession?) or a possible limited showing of this new car movie:
Bloodcar - Save Gas, Drive Bloodcar. A blend of soylent green and the internal combusion engine.

Id Love someone to carry my bag! ha-ha, But no I dont need anyone

I'll be there all week, so if anyone comes, just watch out for me & the Camera!

I have no idea where Rock Springs is... I'll be up in N. Scotts till the 30th, so I guess its somewhere close. But whenever works great! (No Superbowl weekend for me either, Photographing that too).

Rock Springs is basically Black Canyon City. North on I-17 past New River, I'm guessing ~30 miles north of I-17 & 101.
