National Prius Meet ?

So it seems we have a general consensus that regional meetings are better. At least initially. So for the eastern states, where I live... how about something in central Virginia? That's kind of a central location for the Eastern states. I can't coordinate a meeting for us... too much school related stuff and research/cell culture that doesn't allow for a ton of free time... and the local Prius club is enough of a handful.

Any takers? I'll help out in any way I can but I can't take the whole thing myself.[/b]

That sounds great...although I can't really offer any help as I stink at any sort of organization as a leader...I'd be happy to assist any way I can if anyone wants to hold it in Central VA...I can check out sites in question, or answer any questions the organizer would have about possible venues in Central VA...after all, I live in Central Va. :P

But have you ever been to Vegas in August- about 120 degrees....
How about LA or San Diego?

Who said anything about August?

Well, I'm already IN San Diego (which can also get warm in August) so meeting in San Diego any time of year is just fine with me.

Hi all -- a new guy here (and assuming the 'two-weeks-til-i-take-my-prius-acquisition' position)

Sounds cool and how about this 'meet' idea ...

consider: more of a zoned-meet for even more direct, convenient participation such as; New England, Mid-atlantic, South-east, south, south-west, north-west, etc etc (maybe 12 zones for example). BUT... each meet is somehow web-casted live or at least documented for a nation-wide VIRTUAL meet-up via some combined, pic-blasted website posted shortly after.

Or even... an extreme idea ... approach Toyota corp to possibly edit composite of such an 'Amateur' produced, Virtual-nation-wide Prius-meet to use in a TV prius ad?? (flashes of hundreds and thousands of American faces behind the Prius, cheering wildly and basically goin nuts, etc, from zone to zone across the nation) hmmm, ok maybe not goin nuts - ha!

Just a totally random thought of course.. :idea:

Someone at Toyota could solve this problem for us. Find three centers of Toyota population across the country by using all the zip codes of toyota purchasers and using a good statics program. Any SAS programmers out there?
I know this method sounds a little over the top and I don't think it would arive at an answer that we didn't all ready know. Still, the answers would be interesting. I'm also partial to the one tank idea, though personally not interested in RENO( What about Santa Cruz, CA ?) Good food, Prius friendly town, plus they got the Board Walk for the kids!!! In fact we could converge on the parking lot at the board walk and use that as a meeting area. Okay, eoungh already. Is this thread dead?
