Hey, it's time the New Englanders have a gathering!

[Areometer]

People, this is the parking lot of Jordan's Furniture in Natick, MA. It is situated high up on a hill.

Hope to see you all on Sat.

I guess we should park near all the other prius's. See you around 2:00.

[Areometer]

Absolutely. And we may want to park more outskirt so as to avoid their regular patrons.

BobC & I will try to be there early so that you folks can spot us easy.

Hey, folks, is the 8/6/05 Prius meet in Framingham a go? The day is nearly here but things still seem to be in the early planning stage. Has a time and place for rendezvous been set?

[Areometer]

Hi, please look at the post (on this same thread, just a page back) by bobc from last Thurs. The event is confirmed for this Sat (Aug 6th, '05) at the parking lot of the Jordan's Furniture in NATICK (not Framingham but awfully closeby).

Let's start at 2:00pm. There are details for directions, etc. in Bob's post. See you all on Sat!

Just out of curiosity, how many people are we expecting?

[Areometer]

Worst Case Scenario: Bob, me & you before we get evicted by security.

Best Case Scenario: 60+ Prii, certified Prius tech speaker, the media, 'celebrities' like the 2 Jordan's Furniture dudes, etc.

There are close to 6,000 registered New England Prius Club members, even if 1% shows, that's 60 Prii. 1% is beyond humble already, right?

But in reality, only about 20 has emailed Bob to confirm as of a few days ago.

Tomorrow's forecast: Partly cloudy, hi = 82°, lo = 57°.

See you all.

so, who won the raffle? or was the raffle ever drawn?

sorry I couldn't make Bugaboo Creek. it was a good thing that I didn't go - my husband forgot to put on the sunscreen I brought, so he got a nasty sunburn and is not feeling very well right now...

Thank you again every one for coming this afternoon. I hope you enjoyed today's event as much as Bob & I did.

I saw many cool mods and met so many cool Prius peeps.

I apologize for not preparing those "My Name Is..." name tags. I only remembered less than half of your names.

I also apologize for making you sun-bathe for so many hours, some of you noticed that the spot near the IMAX theatre was shadowed all this time and I should have known better.

A big thank you to BobC the Organizer for making this possible! Have fun in Antarctica!

For those of you who couldn't make it, here's a lil' FYI. There were close to 30 Prius with 3 of them Insight (pleasant surprise). I would guess that we had close to 40 people? And 20 something made it to dinner too.
