Boston Meet Up

[chinalfr2]

Sorry that I have to bail out. As expected, I ended up at the Beth Isreal hospital on Monday to welcome our 3rd child.

[Ichabod]

Hooray! Congratulations! Babies are pretty exciting. Maybe you can tell me that it's less terrifying after the first one.

Anyway our rabble is certainly not worth skipping your child's birth for, so no need to apologize!

Hi everyone. I'm not currently living in MA (although that's where I'm from, and I went to college at BU), but I'd love to make it to one of these meets. I live in RI so I'd especially like a south-ish meeting point but with my fabulous gas mileage now (old vehicle got 14 mpg!) I guess I have less excuse for a road trip. I know there was a mention of Mother's day weekend, which I cannot make, but maybe the next one?

So, ideas for May? Maybe another shot at Prospect Hill? Or
should we be out in a more public lot where people are likely
to see us, stop by, and get more info? We had that SUV owner
stop off and ask about Priiii last time, which was kinda cool.

The scenery might be really nice with leaf buds just starting
to pop.

Hi Folks,
Monday night went to the new grand opening of xpressway toyota... I was talking to the owners and asked them if we could have one of our meet up there, and got a very good response... I think it would be a great place to meet as its right off the highway,and easy to get to.. He also said if he has enough notice they will bring in some techs from toyota, to answer any questions we would have on our cars.. I think it would be a great oppertunity for a get together...What do you all think?

Sure - as long as there's no strings attached.

[CB793]

Tuxtails - Great idea. Thanks! Keep us informed.

Where abouts are they? I've got an earthfest sort of thing to
go to this coming weekend, but mem-day weekend is looking open.
Maybe we could do it on that Friday afternoon in case people are
jonesing to get on the road for a long weekend on Saturday or
even later that night.
.
Unrelated thought: I've got this vague fantasy of setting up
camp at various high-traffic intersections around the area at
either direction of rush hour, and duking it out with the homeless
people to try and hand out these to every car. As Arlo says,
if three people, I mean if THREE people a day do it they they'll
think it's a movement. [Note that when people take their coffee-
cans into such a rat race to collect for charities, they're at
least in pairs if not more around any given location.]

Hi All! How've you been? Tux, thanks for the great suggestion of a meet up place. Let's see if we can get them to sponsor us in some ways. Maybe service, or vouchers or something... I'm sure that they'd be into it, and into having a handful of prius enthusiasts selling their cars for them!

Maybe we could shoot for the first weekend of June, meaning the weekend after memorial day. June 8th or 9th.

[hobbit]

The first weekend after mem day is May 31 / Jun 1. And there's
an event in NJ on the weekend after that.
