So Cal Thanksgiving Meet N Greet N Eat N Drink (N Shop)

Hey So Cal guys,

What better way to forget about Thanksgiving Day gluttony than overindulging in even more food and brew at Dave & Buster's!

Ebelen and I have been talking about meeting up and I thought it would be great to turn the meeting into an impromptu So Cal Meet N Greet. Given that the holiday season is right around the corner, this location is perfect to hang out, meet your fellow So Cal off roaders, and bring your significant others to take care of all your holiday shopping in one fell swoop! Of course, bring your Toyota and again, your significant other (others if you are BruceTS) are definitely welcome


So Cal Meet N Greet N Eat N Drink N Shop

When: November 27, 2005
Time: 10am to 2pm (you can stay later)
Where: Dave & Busters at the Santa Anita Mall (off 210 Freeway)
400 S Baldwin Blvd, Arcadia, CA

For those of you who'd like to meet and check out each other's trucks, meet early at 10am to 11am and find the "Just for Tires" tire shop. Park on the west side of the Just for Tires parking lot. Specifically, try to park in the south portion of that lot (near Huntington Blvd). See the pic below.



The only iffy thing will be parking. Those of you who brave the malls around this weekend know how crazy the parking lots can get. Most of the mall does not open until 11am and so it would be better to get there at 10am.

For those of you who dont want to check out other owner's trucks, we will meet inside D&B around 11am to 1130am and try to secure a pool table.

If you're interested, reply in the thread so we can get a head count

Thanks,
Bob

Sounds cool, but I can't make it - I'll be in Santa Cruz.

Take some pics, y'all!

guys, the times are totally flexible. you can come and go as you please, especially if you have some christmas shopping to do. ill do my best to get there first thing when the doors open at D&B at 11am to secure a pool table so we have a central place to hang out.

so far we have:

Ebelen (though he hasn't replied yet, but better come!)
Bob
Lance
iceman
humanoid

so far, a good group

Man..I'm going so close...but the timing is off. I'm going to Hesperia, but I leave here when Girlfriend gets off work at 2. Also, will I want to kill myself if I take this route?

Google Map

Is this even feasible for me, or should I forget it?

Side note: I may be able to come alone and meet Girlfriend later.

Bob, what a cool map to plan stuff with. Military must be able to count the grey hairs in my skull...

If I can't stand my parents any longer, I'll stop by since it's so close... but the mall on Thanksgiving weekend might be murder...

james,

yeah, most definitely the mall will be loco, but thats why we are meeting before that place opens up. theres one or two anchor stores opening up at 10am, but they are on theother side of the mall.

Man. I an dumb. For some reason I thought this was Friday, not Sunday. I'll have to see if this is feasible for me. At least teh route will be less trafficy (basically 15S to 210W). Time to think about this more.

I sent a PM to Erik (ErikJeanna) b/c he works by me. He said he'd try and would love to hook up with some fellow yotatechers. Plus, he can show everyone the yotatech gear that he's sellin'.
