Rep Power: 332

First I would like to say thanks to everyone for their patience and cooperation in making this such a huge meet. I was busy most of the day so i had to lag on this a bit. I hope I can throw you guys a second successful meet which everyone enjoys and has a great time. Here is the last minute information regarding the meet. This will be the last I need to say till the day we meet. So everyone attending...please read!

Okay after hours of driving around and being nice and asking...people just want to take advantage of the situation. So i just said screw it and we're having the first meeting point at this new location. Many of you are already familiar with it since Chris lives right next to it.

Thomas Burton Park
2100 Paso Verde Dr
Hacienda Heights, CA 91745

LINK TO MAP

This Location is very close to the old ikea. Maybe only a mile away or so. If anyone needs someone to contact just in case they get lost finding the place he/she can PM me and i'll give you my celly number.

TIME FRAME IS STILL 4:30-6:00 PM. Get there earlier so you can listen to what we need to discuss about the rest of the evening. I will need you all to check in as well before you enter the parking lot. I will still have assigned parking for everyone and will try and make sure the rest of the park goers are parked together in one section away from us(better photos haha).

When you arrive at 4:30pm please look for a few of us with walkie talkies who will be handling the meet. If you have any questions you can ask them or myself. I will introduce myself to everyone once everything is settled and everyone has arrived. Before you park please make sure you roll up and check-in. At that time I will verify you're on the list and hand you your name tag. From there a person will lead you to your parking spot and then you can start taking pics! I will be at the park around 3:30pm to make sure everything is secure and everything is workin smoothly. Later on within the hour I will speak about the cruise(I will have maps for everyone who is going on the cruise) and I will ask those to sign waiver forms to release me of any problems that may occur on the cruise. When you have a cruise of 20-30 cars.....it is strongly advised to drive safe and not show off. I just want to make sure this is a fun and safe evening for all of us. We will hang out for a while.....and we MUST be at THE BOAT by 6pm.

Restaurant Information:
I have already made the reservations for 42 guests and Tony from the Boat said if we had a few more it wouldn't be too much of a problem as long as we got there at 6pm sharp...before the dinner crowd starts coming in. To clear up any questions on paying for the bill....I will have the seats arranged between 5 different tables. Each table will have about 8 or so people which is much easier to handle and follow than having 40 people throwin in money for a huge check. This is to weave out any possibility that someone will run out on the check. I will have people sitting in certain tables so that we know who sat where and all that. Below I have arranged the people who will be sitting together. Of course you're not going to know everyone at one table but thats what the meet is all about. Meeting new faces and chattin about cars and the sort. Please take a look at the list below and maybe take note of who you'll be eatin with.
Sorry if this is ANOTHER long friggin speech...but this is just to make sure the meet is a well organized and successful one. Alright if anyone has any questions please let me know ASAP and I will answer them ASAP. Thanks for your time everyone. See you at the meet!

Previous information on what happened:
Okay......NO the meet is not cancelled, but I got ratted out by the company who owns the old Ikea lot. Now that the po po will know the whole old ikea lot may be infested with imports, they will be checkin on that spot. Ridiculous how companies are so shady like that. Unless I pay them over 500$ to use it for 3 hours which is BS.
There will be a change in location for the first meeting point from 4:30-6pm. I will have the new location posted up by tomorrow so please check back with this announcement thread. It will not be far from the old ikea location. I am sorry for the last minute problem, but I didnt expect those dudes to be so **** about it. Security guard just recently changed and he was cool with it and all, but this last minute info. sucks.
I may just reserve the underground parking lot at Diamond Plaza where The Boat is and we'll just go ahead from there. Of course still go ahead with your pre-meet cruise down to the meet, but it will be a different location within a mile from the old ikea. So friggin frustrated......i will let you guys know a definite answer on or before tomorrow afternoon. Again I apologize and i'm trying my best to work something out with many companies and planning and all that. Thanks for reading this.

your organizer,
Jeff

Rep Power: 332

I spoke to the security and he was koo with it all and i gave him my business card to let him know its legit and everything. Long story short, i get called up by the DDRC(owns the land) and they said screw you unless you pay for the 3 hours.

 
Rep Power: 417

what d*cks.. i dont see why we cant when they're not even going to be using the space at that time. I mean if ikea was open then alright but it isnt... same with sherman oaks galleria. i dont get how people can be such b*tches

 
Rep Power: 346

What about that McDonalds in Downey...that was a cool spot, if it is available?

Any parks in the area?

Dude, that sucks about Ikea!!

 
Rep Power: 332

High School is empty and the gates are open. Wilson is like 1.12 miles from there, but kinda hidden. Um...only other thing i can think of is the mall out by American Tire Depot/Ethan Allen, but it is saturday so it might be busy.

 
Rep Power: 0

no malls..

we'll get chased out by rent-a-cops, lol.

a park sounds good as long as there's enough parking.

 
Rep Power: 299

hey yeah, we could either the park by my house or wilson high school... its not too far away from the old ikea and that high school is always empty on one side of the parking lot on saturdays...

 
Rep Power: 0

500 bucks for three hours??!!! Freakin ridiculous. No wonder Ikea got the **** out of there.

 
Rep Power: 0

has there been a place set yet?

 
Rep Power: 0

Krispy Kremes? They are usually down as long as no one peels out a revs and shiz, My buddies old club used to meet there sundays, the manager was cool with it, brings them business.

 
Rep Power: 0

thats f ucked up

 
Rep Power: 299

yo jeff i kno a good place on gale in between azusa and stimson... there is a big parking lot in the middle of that industrial area and its always empty on saturdays...

 
Rep Power: 0

hmm we'd better post a sign somewhere in the ikea lot because there are gonna b pplz goin' that don't know about the change

keep us updated and everyone gl on their finals!! w00t w00t

 
Rep Power: 393

oh snaps! you are probably talking about the same place im going to talk about. there are these factories with big parking lots on Gale that I always do donuts in. They are probably the size of the IKEA parking lot. But knowing Jeff, he probably needs to confirm with them first huh? That is the best place I can think of right now...Lemme think some more. There are more than one parking lot...its like a couple but on the same street. I cant take some pix tomorrow.

 
Rep Power: 0

have it at that park thats like 1 mile from there, thats where we had the last 2 meets around that area. i dont want to be driving 10 miles extra.

 
Rep Power: 346

So where its gonna be?

 
Rep Power: 332

posted^^^

 
Rep Power: 302

Isnt the parking lot there small for 50+ cars?

 
Rep Power: 332

Don't worry we'll improvise.

Jeff

 
Rep Power: 417

assigned seats? maybe its better to just let people sit where they want and then write down names?
you know how it is in high school/jr high. we always hated assigned seats
