NCVC - Eat and Greet meet ideas

[ezhacker1]

Last Go Kart meet was a blast. Next one coming up will be more getting to know each other versus getting to each others cars.


Location should be around Vallejo, im thinking this time to cater to the more NOrthern folks. No idea on food yet, but definitely a sit down restaraunt.
Date will be around mid October
Post up some food ideas or location.

It will help us in future meets to see where we all live to consider in mileage and bridge tolls, to find center spot for all of us, so please post your city.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

And just in case someone wants the traditional In-N-Out, there's a couple around Vallejo (one in Fairfield and one in Napa). lol

Price-wise, I would say Applebees, Wingstop, or Chevy's. Quick and cheaper would be L&L.

Then there's Olive Garden, Black Angus, and Red Lobster. All of these are near each other.

[ezhacker1]

Id love a WIngstop meet. I love buffalo wings, been to many places on a wings hunt.

Kaotic, can you help me on this meet? Seems like you are very active right now.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Yeah, I'll help. Although, I'm a bit tired and I'm about to go to sleep (worked on my car to raise the rear, car meet, and helped my friend install his rsb [upgrade] on his 8th Civic).


Just let me know what you need help with.


Wingstop is always good. Gotta love the lemon pepper, cajun, and Atomic wings. In Vallejo, the Wingstop is in the Target plaza. Taco Bell, Panda Express, Subway, and Starbucks are walking distance from it. There's also a Wingstop in American Canyon (town next to Vallejo). That one is in the major shopping center (Super Walmart plaza). Round Table, Subway, Panda Express, Sonic, and Starbucks are walking distance from it.

[contraband831]

Hopefully I am available for this meet, since I'm better at eating, than driving goKarts hahaha!!!

[ezhacker1]

Bit far for you this time. Location could change dependant on whos going and their home city.

[advocate]

In-N-Out
Applebees
Chevy's
L&L
Olive
Garden Black Angus

I will eat at any of these!

Instead of WingStop I prefer Buffalo Wild Wings. Much much better wings in my humble opinion.

[ezhacker1]

Ooh, where's that at? I'm a wings fanatic. Agree with u on the quality on Wingstop

[Kaotic Lazagna]

If you guys want Buffalo Wild Wings, then it would be across the street from Driven Raceway in the Solano Mall lot (which is in Fairfield). Zesty Asian and mango habanero ftw! lol.

That actually wouldn't be a bad idea since there's a movie theater in the mall (Edwards for those who want to get movie tickets from Costco) and Driven go-karts across the street (so we have more options to choose from). And for those that want In-N-Out, that's down the street. lol. Red Robin is in the mall as well along with the eateries on the second floor of the mall.

[ezhacker1]

Make it a long meet, and mileage and toll will be worth it.

[Kioshi]

contraband will travel any distance, he's pushing the limits on his car since 2006 haha.
He's one of the OGs from way back - Kaotic. ;)

If any of the new members need toll money, I'll cover it.

**A little help from me**

The activities in Vallejo sound good, a good way to spend the day up there.
Since EVERYONE is lowered now, why not introduce our cruising sessions to (kiteless, eric, Ma71-51-o, and others)??

Kaotic and you can pick a scenic route to drive on for everyone.
**Rolling shots like you discussed w/ me yesterday on campus, ezhacker1 ;)

I just had another idea....but its for next summer, although it might SCARE Sean away ;)

Kaotic - Bodega Bay, i remember you enjoying that drive...how about that?

[contraband831]

haha my car is knocking at 200k's door... so driving far is no issue, that's all i do.. WINGS sound good! keep the ideas rollin' fellas

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Assad, Bodega Bay is a bit far. hahaha, Stinson beach would be closer for you guys, and just as fun (still on Hwy1, but it's more crowded than going up to Bodega Bay).

hahahaa, give rolling shots another try would be nice. Hopefully it won't be as sunny to make it easier for me to do the shots. lol.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Some of my friends told me Hwy29 (going towards Napa [couple towns from Vallejo]) has some nice twisty roads. One of my friends told me that when he was biking on it, some guy in a Benz was drifting the corners, went up, came down, and went back up again. lololol.

[contraband831]

yeah lets head up to St Helena to Taylors Automatic Refresher, GREAT Burgers...oh snap its now called Gott's Roaside?? well anyways they were like one of the top ten burgers in the US, I've been there like three time when it was called Taylors, hopefully its still as good..

[ezhacker1]

Lunch , dinner , cruise

[Kioshi]

Dont know about the rest of you...but im always loking for the best. And top ten in USA sounds goooood. Maybe their still good? hah

I vote for St Helena to the burger joint as the start of the meet~

@ ezhacker1 - up until dinner? What else do you have planned to extend till the sun sets?

[ezhacker1]

WINGS

[Pur_Blu]

DID SOMEONE SAY HOOTERS?? HA HA i go to hooters every other friday and chill with an old co-worker, good times. Ya'll know i'll eat anything so if u need my 2cents let me know.

happy hours/ buffets/ specials all of the above
hell even group discounts

[ezhacker1]

I want wings not breasts.

And use the sig pic Kaotic made.

[Kioshi]

I want wings not breasts.

@ Pur Blu - The Fremont one has weak breasts :tongue:

Jonathan, now is a good time to throw a poll up with the following choices ( Burger Joint (that contraband831 mentioned), Wings, and Hooters?)

I think Kaotic has a good idea of where to cruise around.

[ezhacker1]

Poll up on facebook group

[Kioshi]

A lot of chatter happening on Facebook among NCVC members.

Great job Kaotic/ezhacker1 and the members.

Lets get a time set up for the start of this meet.

12:30~1pm?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Maybe a little earlier? Up to you guys, tho. lol.

[dumb0]

is there a facebook page? :)

[Kiteless]

I suppose I should sign up for Facebook. I just hate their end user license agreement and information usage policies..

I would hate the miss the next meet-up. We narrowing down on a specific date yet? I am available August 6th, 8th, 21st, 27th, 28th. Also if we are inland and it is not too windy I wanna stick a camera on my AR.Drone and get some aerial video of the meet-up. Anyone got a tiny camera that does HD, like a Hero Cam? I have a little cam that I put on it but it's not HD. Still takes reasonable video though.

NERD ALERT: I get really nerdy when I bust out the AR.Drone.

Nice, but I don't think any of us are available on those days as we don't have the power to go back in time like you :tongue:

[Pur_Blu]

kinda got lost on FB umm so the plan is shoot for Oct?? midday meet brunch dinner idea floatin around

sound about right?? maybe a wing eating contest?

[ezhacker1]

Let's make a poll for days available as well Laz. Btw, we just haveto keep bumping the poll thread. Also polls seem to only show up on Desktop version of FB, mobile and FB app doesn't show it

[Kiteless]

Nice, but I don't think any of us are available on those days as we don't have the power to go back in time like you :tongue:

Sigh.... I checked those dates like 3 times... FAIL... :iono:

[ezhacker1]

Man the FB group is very active but but the 4 of us out of 10, and we are still missing people who have not joined.
It is imperative that you guys vote in there so you can 1. change your mind 2. see who votes for what.

Set your email notifications to ignore the group, cuz we have long comment threads

I just bought a Go Pro HD, prepare for some cool videos on our next meet.

[Pur_Blu]

NICE... i know that hurt the wallet a lil... like 310 out the door. imma just get old Polaroid camera, the business end of a plunger and duct tape to make a manual ghetto pro IP. HA HA the id stands for "instant picture"

[cali yaris]

I'm going to assume that you were the one that I just added? lol

I asked to join. If a meet falls between Sept. 29 and Nov. 5, I can probably make a trip. Need to visit parents anyway. :thumbsup:

[Kioshi]

ezhacker1 & Kaotic are 100% in charge of monitoring the facebook portion of NCVC.
I monitor the meet threads.

HOPEFULLY this time you can make it out to the meet since we are having a strong showing :tongue:

GoPro Motorsport new for $199 shipped on eBay

[Kioshi]

Date finalized ezhacker1? You will have to pick one and see who can make it out to it. No progress is being made for the date. Time is ticking.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I say October 30. I'll be really busy before then working on my charity car show (hopefully it'll be approved) that we plan on putting on October 23.

[ezhacker1]

is this charity car show open to us too? October 30 should work for me too. We also need to see who has mid terms and when.

[cali yaris]

Can't the meet be part of the car show? Would be fun and guaranteed cars for your cause.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Still waiting to hear back on the organization if we can use them or not. But yeah, you guys are more than welcome to come by, but I probably won't be able to chat with you guys.

I'm still figuring out what would be a good "show" price. lol.

[Kioshi]

8-10$ entry per car.

And it would be an honor if NCVC took participation in it. More recognition afterall and a good cause. Everyones plate is full.

[Kioshi]

Also since halloween is a day after the proposed meet date....i dont want you guys to make it a late meet like previous ones....

A lot of people pre-gaming it aka buzzed and drunk drivers out on the road....

[ezhacker1]

indeed, and we would want to avoid the appearance of doing bad things as well if we hang around that late.

[Kiteless]

We need to get together on a weekend at some point to see if I can mount the GoPro on the bottom of the AR.Drone some place. Would love to point it pointing straight down, but the sonar sensors are on the bottom of the craft and I don't think it likes them being blocked, even with the altitude limiter turned off. I know it can fly the cam mounted to the top, but that does not do much good if we are trying to film straight down.

- Jason

[ezhacker1]

camer on a string? with a safety parachute aha

[cali yaris]

for aerial filming, this:

Ill volunteer since we live like 5 to 10 mins away from each other...
Next week should be good, or this weekend in the evening possibly....

[ezhacker1]

lol, but i live far from you guys haha, and i have the GoPro. It'll arrive next tuesday. I cant wait to use it. But i also need to wait for the 32GB SD card to arrive too.

[Kioshi]

When all of that arrives, and if you can help me rotate my tires, I will bring my car to school and volunteer for you as well. :smile:

[ezhacker1]

And ill supply the Dew.

[Kioshi]

And you just might be the first to see my mod :wink:

[ezhacker1]

sweet, get to see it. And the Dew is a part of the club now. Everyone mustdrink

[Kioshi]

Kaotic already knows, this guy will not do the dew. You can give up now :laugh:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

One day, Assad, we'll get you drunk enough and then give you some Dew. MWHAHAHA!




Hello NorCal Yaris :waves:

[Kiteless]

Does this guy have a bright red Yaris LB? I saw one with a similar spoiler to mine, we were going in opposite directions and eyeballing each others cars.

Was it near Union City/Fremont area?

I know who you are talking about. I approached the person a while back at Chipotle in Newark, Ca.

Guy had no idea what i was talking about when i said Yarisworld forums and MicroImage forums....:confused::rolleyes::mad:

He has the spoiler, Netz badges, depot projector headlights? and other things...which apparently he got them through the two forums..

We have to pull him in Kiteless :evil:

The guy i mentioned has....the same color as mine.

The same color? You are Blue or Red? Yeah Netz badges and everything. I could not tell if he was smiling at me or trying to Mad Dog me. I didn't have my alloys, suspension or can yet. But I had my spoiler, tails and badges.

[Kioshi]

I'm light blue. The guy i mentioned in same color as me...

The guy who i think you are talking about is...red.

[ezhacker1]

Blue makes me sad..

Yes wrangle in the peopl we see. I saw another one driven by an asian girl.

[Kioshi]

So ezhacker1, we need an official thread with things finalized. One month advance with official dates and times will help people work around their busy schedule.

P.S. I'll bring the trim pieces and we can swap.

[Pur_Blu]

i've seen a yaris with 18's out in the city and another out in san mateo. I see them all over driven by older people

[cali yaris]

It'll take more than 1 NCVC member to get DEW down this guy's throat....

amen, brother.

any dates set yet?

[ezhacker1]

i want to poll either the saturday or sunday of the halloween week

[Kaotic Lazagna]

If it's a Saturday, I won't be able to make it.

[ezhacker1]

Darn,

thought about doing it a saturday so its one day less close to Halloween. Ill still have to throw up a poll to see who is available on each day. Im fine with either.

[Kiteless]

I can do almost any Sunday. I am personally fine with the day before Haloween if we want to set it out that far. Does this fit with Garm's schedule?

[cali yaris]

^ I'll do my best, guys, this is a good weekend for me. It's ok if I head for home on Monday.

[ezhacker1]

Date and Time have been set for the next NCVC meet. Check the new thread please and let me know if you will attend.
