    Since the Prius v is making an appearance in Lynnwood, WA per The Prius v wagon is hitting the road, possibly stopping in a town near you | PriusChat, perhaps there can be a mini Priuschat meet for folks in the area? Too bad there won't be test drives but I hope it'll be staffed so we can at least poke around the interior and maybe check out Entune.

    I'd imagine that weekends work best for people. Saturday the 19th would be better for me than the 20th. Perhaps we can meet for lunch or something? I don't mind eating and meeting in the Alderwood Mall food court since there are plenty of choices and plenty of open space. If not, maybe we'll just see each at the Borders?

    Evnow at http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-h...-stopping-in-town-near-you-2.html#post1263369 say's he'll be there Saturday. Anyone else going?

    That's ok. You're quite far from Lynnwood so I wouldn't expect you to make the trek.

    Perhaps there can be a a mini meet on both days. I was only planning on going Saturday though...

    I'll be there at some point, but the social secretary will likely have the most convenient group times already booked elsewhere.

    Hmm, I actually might be able to make Sunday instead...

    So, that's it? There are only 4 Seattle area Priuschatters who are going this weekend?

    Interesting, on Alderwood Mall's Facebook page, an entry appeared recently that says:
    :thumb:
    I'd imagine the Prius v won't be one of them since the news entry said there wouldn't be test drives provided.

    So, when is the display open?

    Two Toyota awnings and a Ryder truck are there, but the car and displays went to bed for the evening before 7 pm. No information about open hours, and the clerk in Borders was clueless.

    No idea. I'm going to drop Prius Team a private message.

    Maybe that's part of why Borders filed for bankruptcy and that location is on the closure list... ;)

    I was able to swing by very briefly during an errand today. It is open:
    Friday until 6,
    Saturday 10-6
    Sunday 11-6.

    Lots of test drives on other new Toyotas, but of course, not this one.

    Anyone get their plans finalized? I'm mostly likely going to be there Saturday, no earlier than 12:30 pm and have lunch in the food court before checking out the v and the test drives.

    It'd be cool if other Priuschatters were there, esp. if they have some gadgets or modifications like CAN-view or Hymotion.

    I've got a Hymotion powered 2008 and can maybe show up on Saturday and/or Sunday for a bit between noon and 1:45ish. Anyone interested in meeting for Prius chatting, car ooogling and coffee can call/text me at 425-269-3272.
