Why? What for? HaHaHa.....you're very funny.....

I could call them in advance and their employees can come out to reserve a section in their parking lot for us that says, "Lexus Parking Only".

And the next location we end up, they'll do the same thing too. J/K

Unless it's a really well organized meet involving a particular sponsored vendor/public establishment, we will notify them in advance provided that they have adequate space to accomadate a large group. Then, there will be a demonstration from sponsored vendor/activity/raffle/etc. during the meet. This could last between 2-4 hours depending on the type of activity or event being held at the local vicinity.

Otherwise, a mini-meet such as this one, where we don't overstay and park there for a long period of time, there is no need to contact Starbucks in advance or anything other location we may end up at. Unless we plan to be "sittin' pretty" in front of Starbucks for 4 hours or more and more cars show up later in the day, then it would make sense to let them know and get their permission ahead of time. But in our case, "Why bother?" Don't get me wrong, this is an organized meet, but not to the fullest extent that we go all out and stick w/ the agenda because "sh-- happens" and we will have to wing it and go w/ the flow. Not all plans go the way we want them to go so we'll just have to improvise if anything comes up unexpectedly.

The agenda of the mini-meet or cruise meet is simple:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. park. get coffee (optional)
2. meet and greet. stare at the rides. B.S./gossip (usually takes about 20 min)
3. we roll or "bounce" out of there
4. do the designated cruise route mentioned at the beginning of this thread. (about 1 hour)
***in between we may stop at any location for a photo op for group pics***
5. reached final destination. done. say our "Goodbye's", "Adios", "C'Ya at the next one".
6. Or if anyone else or others want to continue elsewhere or have lunch/dinner, more power to them. (optional)


May I ask? Have you been any of the CL meets before? Whether it be BOS, EOS, mini or cruise meets?

If you haven't been to BOS or EOS or any of the sponsored meets (e.g. Custom Alignment, Wheel Techniques, Dyno Day), then those are the really well organized meets (w/ the advance notification/permission) following by extra-curricular activities such as Go-Karting, volleyball, vendor demonstrations on performance tuning, BBQ, etc.

If you haven't been to any of the mini-meets or cruise meets, then this cruise meet will provide you w/ an experience of what others have already experienced.

Does anyone else have any other questions regarding this meet? I'm all ears.

Is it just me, or am I getting tired of explaining the details of this meet for like the 4th or 5th time already when the details are clearly laid out in the first and second page of this thread.

As teeman pointed out, sometimes our plans don't work out. I wanted to do a recon. run this week, but didn't get a chance to. I ran this route back in May?...forgot already. so I don't know whether there's any road construction or problems. so just keep that in mind. and i'll see y'all tomorrow.

Not Funny!

If I am the owner of the shop, I would feel much better knowing a band of people on internet talking about meeting at my location; and yes, I am new to the group and it is my first meet.

13+ similar Lex at same location is not typical in any normal day, and I just think it would be polite to do so.

I mean no offens in what I said... It is only my feeling and opinion. Hope our group do better next time!

I actually just end up sleeping in the office twice a week and take fri-sun off. The drive is only about 1:20 from my house to the office but it gets kinda tiring. Actually its the $150 avg I spend on gas a week is what kills me. I cant really complain because the pay is good though. I'm not that familiar with the area but lemme know beforehand if you're gonna be around here. Starbucks is like 2 blocks away from me.
