Is there another location we can vote for? That area is kind of dead in terms of food/drinks unless you want fast food like Yoshinoya...

I'm sure if you provide a suggestions to the group that host the meet that they would listen. The problem is, not a lot of businesses want to give up parking spaces for people to loiter on a Friday night.

How many cars show up on average? I've only been to the meet once, so I don't want to estimate. If the turnout is less than 20 cars on average, I know a few tea places we can hang at (spacious lot and businesses do not mind as long as the usual meet rules are obeyed).

I've never paid attention to how many cars usually show up. I usually show up late since I'm driving up from OC, and the first thing I always do is go look at other SC that show up. lol

If you post the locations either here or on the FB page, I'm sure they'll see your post and take the locations into consideration. If you know the business owner's contact info that is always a plus.

Lat few time is REALLY REALLY under 20 for sure. I went to some of them and the most thing i didn't like is you gonna be there and do your own stuff. Nobody will be creating you or some what.

if you actually made it out to the last Friday Night Meet, it easily topped 30+ cars. I'm sure others can attest.

you go to any meet, and attendees will generally congregate and socialize in groups - especially for those that know each other. given the right attitude (or at least an adjustment for the better), you'll find that almost all meet attendees are friendly and, well, sociable.

going to car meets is generally worthwhile if you go without expectations. when you start expecting things to happen like 100 cars show up and random strangers come up to you and make you their center of attention, you should revisit your expectations.

it's like what your sig says: you may not get what you are trying, but you will never get it if you don't. so, if you don't make yourself sociable, you're going to end up doing your own stuff, and no one will greet you or even care.

anyways, hope to see everyone tonight.

It was great meeting you guys last night. Hoping to be a regular to this meet. Decent crowd, no hood rat stuff, thats what I like.

I like meets where I forget to take photos because chatting with you guys was better. LOL Speaking of which, I saw one guy with a nice camera, slide through with those shots please and we'll feature you on our social media. @o.g.status Gracias!

You're probably never going to see them. lol

I'm still waiting to see pics from the last meet. Some one came with a nice camera, tripod, and lighting equipment to photograph all the cars. He did multiple shots with focus on each part of the car, so he could layer them for a really dope photo.

Hi friend. I hope the meet was a success. It was a grinding week of commuting even though it's only 16 miles. I was done by Friday night and didn't want to get back in the car to drive to the El. I will try to make the next one.
