So far the date is the 25th and a few people have said yes to that date so I'm reluctant to change it. Let's presume it's the 25th in Pleasanton.
Just say yes if you'll be coming and what if anything you'll be bringing and/or wanting to install that day.
I'll be there.
Bringing: beer, some food stuff, and an SRI for installing and some (limited) tools.
Edit: Also here's what I know about: clearing headlights (if anyone wants assistance), some stereo stuff, some upholstery stuff (since I did my leather myself), shaving/changing emblems, tweaking throttle cable, a few other light engine things.

Rep Power: 0 hey peeps.. dunno if i'll make it but i will try... where are you guys going to meet? there's a pretty nice large park over by regal cinemas... if you're coming from the east, it's the exit before. is that the santa rita exit? does anyone know where i'm talking about? it's pretty nice... been there once, only at night though... just a suggestion. perhaps i'll try to swing by where-ever you'll be. i'm only like 20 minutes east of there. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] check ya later....
plus it's right off the freeway and we can all go to another location and take over the freeway... with tons of 2k1 civics... that'd be tight!!!!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 This park sounds good. If you know the name of it I'll post a map.
Definitely try to make it. The more the merrier. Your drive is probably less than mine!
Let's do 1:00. Sound good?
Sorry I haven't psted an exact location. Pleasanton is about 1/2 an hour from me (OK 20 minutes) but I haven't had occasion to go out that way recently. I'l post the exact location here unless a local knows of a prticularly good site.
All Nor Cal folks make the trip. We've got to show these So cal folks who rules.

Rep Power: 0 well... i go to school in sacramento at CSUS but i am living at home which is east of pleasanton... i know it's a bit confusing.. sorry. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
is there any pleasanton locals around here?? i talked to my friend (who also has a 2k1 civic) and he says that it's the santa rita exit... then, if you're coming from the east, you'd turn right and then turn left at the second or third stop light. then you'll just see the park on your left a little ways down. i'm going to try to go out there sometime this weekend... so i should have EXACT details to follow. we could even just meet there and then go somewhere else from there... just a suggestion... talk to you later peeps....
eX2ooo - you can always just take 5 south to 205 east and get to pleasanton no problem. but i also think you can go around the other way, i don't know which way is faster though. just an FYI... hit me up if you need to know for sure... grl_rcr@yahoo.com

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for looking into this. If it is the Santa Rita Rd exit it is going to be very easy for everyone to find.
GirlRacer, if you get a chance to check it out, see if it looks like they have a place where we could BBQ. Also you might want to try to notice if alcohol is permitted.
Only about a week away now. Should be cool to have a bunch of vics and vic owners together.
UPDATE: Pleasanton Parks and Rec sent me a sheet on all their parks. The woman from P&R recommended a couple with BBQ areas:
Creekside Park, 5665 West Las Positas
Mission Hills Park, 600 Junipero
GirlRacer, it looks like the park you are mentioning might be named Nielsen Park (no BBQ pits) on Stoneridge Rd. or Amaral Park, 3400 Dennis Dr (no BBQ pits). Also, no alcohol allowed in any city parks at all. No big deal.
FYI also, nearby at the Alameda County Fairgrounds on the same day there is a car show (hotrods mostly) if you can't get enough of cars.
Here is the info:
Goodguys 15th West Coast Nationals Revs Up In August
August 24-26 brings 3,500 rods, customs, and classics to the Fairgrounds, including "Cars 4 Sale" Corral, kids' arts and crafts, and more. Parking $5.00.

Rep Power: 0 okay, so did you want me to go check out the site??? i was looking at the city of dublin online (the park is technically considered dublin) and i know that there are only a few actually listed. i know that the place is fairly new... like it has a skate park of it's own, basketball courts... etc. but i'll definately go out there this weekend and scope it out. so just hang tight. but it IS right off of the freeway which would be easy for everyone to find and then we can go elsewhere or something. just a suggestion. anyway, i'll let you guys know... late

Rep Power: 0 Alright kids.. i went out there last night... here's the scoop...
no BBQ pits.
no alcohol.
name of park... emerald glen park.
gleason and tassajara...
traveling on west bound 580. take santa rita turn away from freeway. second light is gleason, turn left. park is on the right.
traveling east bound of 580. take santa rita exit. go over the freeway. see above for further directions. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
unfortunately i've been informed by my dumb job in sacramento that i am suppose to work. so i won't be able to go. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] makes me sad too, i know you're all dissappointed. just kidding. the parking lot at the place is huge, it'd be sweet to see the civics all parked together. we'll have to meet up again sometime soon. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] have fun and take tons of pics!!!

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for looking into the park and gathering the info.
By my count we have only four confirmed (including me) and a maybe. I guess I was hoping for a few more folks.
Do you guys want to move this back a week and see if we can get some other folks? Let's hear the consensus.

Rep Power: 0 I don't know if any of you are also members of ClubSI, but they are also having a meet this Sat the 25th in San Luis Obispo. It is not only a meet, it is a full drive that promises to be great. It is not just for SIs either, and it would be great if we could show up in our line of 2k1s. There will be about 200 cars there from the sound of it, some SIs, some 2K1 Civics, some Acuras even, so let me know if you want to get some people together and go.

Rep Power: 0 I guess we better hurry and decide which day because the 25th is coming up quickly. I'll be there whatever day is decided. Let me know where exactly and I'll bring whatever.

Rep Power: 0 OK I think the best bet is to have our meetup at the import showdown at the Cow Palace on Sept. 29. Not too many folks responded, some had other things to do, etc. for the 25th. Rather than set it over one week for a holiday weekend I say we show up at the showdown with our 2k1s.
Plus if folks flake, you'll still have a reason to hang over there.

Rep Power: 0 Cool lets go with that. I think that will work best for everyone. PLus I definitely want to check out what other imports are there. I think it's going to be a good show.
