How about a Get Together?

jgerecht · 08-04-2005, 10:22 AM

I\'ve had my Prius since late March and never seen an Olympia get together.

Why not?

Is it really such a big deal?

We meet at a convenient restaurant and chat about the cars we waited to long to get. We obviously have that in common.

Maybe a Friday evening? That would work best for me?

Yeah, that could be nice. I'm probably the young'un in the group, but that's okay.

Friday evenings tend to be a bit shifty for me -- a lot of my obligations in the Seattle area tend to occur on Fridays, and the next few weeks for me are getting very booked. Saturdays work slightly better, but I'm willing to negotiate.

I'd rather avoid the "nobody here but us two fleas" problem, though, and negotiate with a few others

I don't mind other times, but it gets a bit dicey for weekevenings other than Friday. I've got three clubs I belong to and have quite a few meetings during the month so I'm difficult to deal with much of the time.

But I could manage a Saturday evening sometime, or even a Sunday.

We aren't planning a vacation, just a couple of hours of Prius Chat!

i can do Sunday or Monday... or Saturday evening. lets do something!!

pick a place we all in olympia, should be easy

i met John at the Lacey Alternative Fuel Fair and Electric Car Rally. i know there are a lot of Priuschat people in olympia, i am getting a bunch of waves from people and my personalized plate is very noticable so i know there is interest here

my nephew is doing "Fiddler" in Gig Harbor and next Sunday the 21st i will be there for that, but i am free in the morning or Saturday starting at 8 PM.

how about a brunch?

Are people from Seattle allowed to crashe the party? Planning evenings can be tough, but I might just be able to make it.

DaveinOlyWA · 08-14-2005, 04:09 PM

all are welcome... in fact get enough from that end and you may be able to sway the vote on the meeting place

How about next Saturday for dinner or after?

I've got a commitment during the early part of the day, but am free after about 3:00.

My commitment is a computer club picnic at Priest Point Park.

I enjoy Ramblin' Jacks. Good food, and they've got a variety for just anybody. It's centrally located and they could accommodate a pretty large sized group, though I doubt that we'd be more than 5 or 6 at the most. At least at this point.

And if we actually enjoy getting together, maybe we can figure out how get to more people involved.

next sat i work till 7:30 but free after that or Sunday lunch would be good too as i have the play that evening

I'd much rather do a Saturday than a Sunday, at least next weekend.

So, how about Saturday at 8:00 pm at Ramblin' Jacks.

If anyone from Seattle, or anywhere else, wants to come, they'll be welcomed with open arms.
