California is a big place, so add San Francisco.

How about some volunteers to start setting up stuff in each respective city.

I can volunteer for setting up here in Houston. I'm glad they made this thread a sticky, I was on page 3 looking for it before I realized it was up here.

Wellll, I've only organized about 8 of these things to date, with plans for two more this year, and those two don't count THIS get together. I hope that's enough experience.

Haha you weren't in charge of photos last time, your friend was and technically.......still is

I'm sure that plenty of people here have some pretty amazing cameras that they could bring. As much as I'd love to have some professional photos...they cost money and I HATE entrance fees for meets. Wherever it ends up being i'll yoink my parents camera, it takes fairly decent pictures. Most of the times, its the operator, not the camera that decides how good a picture is...therefore, I suck

Well, I've started scouting potential locations for the Houston location. We still need a date though. Any ideas? And have any of your other guys started doing anything in your regions?

Wow, didn't notice this until a month later...

I would be the complete centralized location. Shoot, if I hosted a Wichita GTG I KNOW at least 4 cars would show up. An 85 500SL, 85 300D, 83 300D, and 95 E320.

Texas is an easy run for me, so if the timing is right, I imagine I'll just go there.

Texas is a wee bit too far for me to just hop in the car and drive without planning.



Something closer? Vegas? Phoenix? Colorado?

So, has anyone who's agreed to hold a meet for their region done anything as of yet, such as scouting potential meeting places in their regions?
